Neoteca - Barrington

My favorite Italian restaurant! The food is amazing, especially the meatballs, which I love. It's also very kid-friendly and the staff is incredibly patient.

This is an exceptional high-end restaurant in Barrington that offers city-level quality without the hefty prices. The menu is thoughtfully crafted and delicious, featuring some fantastic gluten-free pizza options.

This is a nice spot for a wine flight. I tried a few cocktails, which were decent but not particularly noteworthy. The service was satisfactory, though it could have been a bit more welcoming. Overall, it's a place I'd be willing to visit again.

Food was ok. Had a charcuterie board. Meat was incredibly salty and bread was dry with no butter or olive oil. We asked for olive oil and 10 minutes later got about a tablespoon worth for the whole table. Salad was OK. Dressing very good. Service was pleasant but mostly absent. About $50 pp. A little disappointed for the price.

The food was AMAZING! The server needs a bit more training in customer service. She never checked on us, even after the food came out. So sad to have such poor service at a place with amazing food.
