Aldo - Los Altos

The food was creative and delicious, the service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was delightful—all at a reasonable price! We were quite impressed by this new restaurant in downtown Los Altos. The art inside was stunning, and the outdoor terrace really gave us a European vibe. We had a prosciutto and pear Gorgonzola appetizer, homemade tortelli, and finished with a peach sorbet for dessert. Highly recommended!

The food is quite good for a reasonable price. I ordered the lamb chop, which was $25—cheaper than at most places. I just wish the sauce had been served on the side, as it would have made it easier to dip the meat in; the sauce is amazing! The salmon was also very tender.

I have a deep appreciation for eclectic cuisine and the adventurous spirit it embodies. I also celebrate the improvisational essence found in the diverse cultural roots of jazz music. When you combine these elements, I become a very happy diner. Baribar Bistro offers something close to a cult dining experience in downtown Los Altos. Unlike restaurants that perpetuate the stereotypes of Italian, French, Chinese, or Indian cuisines, this place understands that genuine culinary traditions span beyond borders. It showcases regional styles and fusion dishes that emerge from hybrid identities—like a Serbian parent marrying a Northern Italian spouse, whose children then fall in love with someone from South America. That's what draws me out of my home to explore new flavors. Dining doesn't have to be Instagram-worthy to be delicious. Serbian food is incredible, but if you share my passion for good wine and cool jazz, you should definitely give this place a try—before it’s too late!

I really like this authentic view of Italian and Serbian cuisine from the view of the owners, the place is very cozy with beautiful live music

Great cuisine and good service with reasonably priced wines, and drinks. The hidden jewel here is the live music venue that IMHO is as good as a trip to Oakland or San Francisco right in downtown sleepy town Los Altos. I’ve been in this area for many many years and the quality of live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday is one of the best hidden jewels anywhere on the peninsula. Make a plan to visit and get ready to be blown away.
