Bari Italian - 450 1st St SW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52404

We are excited to feature another one of our favorites! Bari Italian has the best atmosphere and our favorite drinks!

The owner, B.J. saw an opportunity when she noted that the space was sitting empty for over 2 years. They decided to invest in a business to fill the space. With the amphitheater across the street, a fun, upscale and contemporary restaurant seemed to be an opportunity to serve Cedar Rapids in a capacity that wasn't being captured, so they opened November 2019 with a large full-service patio, fresh food created and served by a professional team, and elevated wine list.

Bari is open Tuesday-Saturday 4:00-10:00 (kitchen stops serving at 9:30)


ON THE MENU:

The Lasagna is a staple as it's a generations-old recipe which takes 2 days to create. The Seafood Bake is another favorite. Chef Anthony enjoys creating seafood specials as well so there's always a nice surprise on the rotation.

B.J. loves a lot about Bari, but her favorite? Extending their family's culture with the community and taking great pride in serving excellence at all levels, as well as meeting people--those in our community and from all over the world.
