"When I started chatting with Mario about Italian at the Saturday Santa Monica farmer's market, my ears perked up when he told me that some of my favorite Italian places didn't follow Italian tradition cooking. Hmmm. As we were parting, I discovered he was a partner at Barbershop.

What an experience! It was one of the best meals I have had in a while. Mario remembered me and was an amazing host. The presentation of each plate was just in the online photos.

"A few dishes were good but everything was too precious. Left completely unsatisfied as we never thought we got a full bite of anything. Wine pairing is only drink option and was a joke. Tiniest pours ever, came at odd times (not with a new dish necessarily) and were so small they couldn't even be enjoyed fully even with the tiny bites."
