Haven't been to Barrels in years. Last time not so good. So we decided to give it another try So this time it's great! There redone and interior and it's beautiful. it's service was really good. My husband had the Veal Cutlet Parm which is probably one of the best but he's never had. The special meatball app with peppers and 3 different cheeses was also really delicious. I had a no carb eggplant Lasagne with spinach on top was a little like stew but It's delicious. It's a small place, but they were pretty packed. I think we'll put it back in rotation.

We did delivery, and everything was fabulous. The meatballs were spectacular, and totally hit the spot. My linguine with sausage and rabbe was perfectly done. My friend loved her ravioli. We will definitely be ordering from them again.

Wow! What a shock because before I ordered I looked at this Yelp page and questioned ordering because of the suspiciously low rating. This food is top notch! We ordered the Cheese Involtini (added the meatballs), Chicken Cutlet Milanese and Margherita pizza! Delicious! Sliced up the Margherita pizza, added the sauce from the cheese involtini and was in good Italian food heaven. That sauce is amazing. I'll be back and I recommend you try it and raise up this rating because that sauce alone is worth 5 stars. Oh and I was just reminded we also got the sweet potato fries. Delicious too.

You'd never know... This is one of my absolute favorite spots in Margate. They're family inexpensive and offer a wide selection of classic Italian dishes with generous portions. They offer in-house dining, but I prefer take out. They're fast and always get the order right. That's all I need! Do yourself a favor and check them out, you won't regret it!

We came here in September on my birthday. The food was good, we all enjoyed our dishes. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely make a return a visit next time I am in Margate.
