Sure, you can find things like chicken parmesan and fettuccine alfredo on Bartolo’s menu, but most of the Italian-inspired dishes have a twist. Start with the beet tomato burrata with pickled beets, tomatoes, and dried strawberries. The chef creates a new pasta weekly, but some of the standbys include rigatoni bolognese with slow-cooked angus beef and pork meat and the pistachio pesto mafaldine with tomatoes, squash, and zucchini. This sunny Kimball Junction restaurant feels like your friendly neighborhood bistro, with long, group-friendly tables and a buzzy open kitchen. Bartolo’s also has a solid brunch menu, which includes fancy egg dishes (smoked trout benedict) and breakfast classics (biscuits and gravy).
