WHAT IS BARANO?
Barano is South Williamsburg’s wood fired seasonal Italian restaurant by Chef Albert DiMeglio. He has taken his experience over the many years of working in Italy, Windows on the World, Le Cirque, Osteria del Circo and last but not least Rubirosa, and put his spin on the classic dishes he grew up on. Our food is centered around our wood fired grill and oven down to our craft cocktails. We also focus on natural, biodynamic and sustainable wine.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
Barano proudly anchors South Williamsburg at 26 Broadway.
We are on the south side of the street, right before you hit the corner of Broadway and Kent Avenue.
WHAT ARE YOU COOKING?
Chef Di Meglio’s seasonal menus uses our open kitchen’s wood-burning oven and open-fire grill. All of Barano’s pastas are made on-site and by hand. We’ve proudly created our pizza using no commercial yeast and handmade mozzarella. Our antipasto is a must with Casella prosciutto speciale, our mozzarella made in house, hand pulled, and served warm à la minute.
What does Barano mean?
We are named after Barano D’Ischia, the township in southern Italy where Chef DiMeglio’s grandmother, Giuseppina, was born. Giuseppina was instrumental in Al’s growth as a chef, and her cooking incited his love and career in food. Without her, you wouldn’t be joining us for dinner tonight. As a tribute to the place that educated Giuseppina in the art of cooking, we decided to name ourselves Barano.
