Very nice establishment, offering true Italian delicacies. With the owner being a very kind man himself, I can only recommend!

J'ai tout adoré ! Et j'y retourne souvent. Un super accueil avec beaucoup de sourire et d'attention. Des produits de qualité que ce soit la nourriture comme le vin. Un grand merci

On y va autant pour les bons plats que pour Simone ! Un endroit où l’on se sent si bien et où la générosité est dans l’accueil et les plats. Carte courte, tout est maison et généreux… y compris le tiramisu pistache (j’attends son retour ;)) et le limoncello maison avec les italiens !

I only went here once, unfortunately. I had a beautiful open sandwich on foccacia, along with a good craft beer and a nice glass of red wine. The owner, an italian was charming. A very pleasant experience, highly recommended.

Super expérience chez Via Barcatta ! La cuisine est délicieuse et le restaurateur est vraiment très accueillant. Je recommande pour un bon moment gourmand à Lyon.
