Baris

Baris is a true gem in Waco, Texas! From the moment you step in, you’re welcomed by an authentic Italian atmosphere that feels like home. The legacy of recipes passed down from the founder’s mother is evident in every dish. Everything is homemade, from the amazing bread and marinara to the mouthwatering entrees. I highly recommend the pasta sampler, along with the fried mushrooms, the Hawaiian pizza, the tortellini, and the shrimp – each one is a standout! Plus, the restaurant is BYOB, making it even more special. And a big shoutout to Sierra, the waitstaff member, who always goes above and beyond. If you’re in Waco, Baris is a must-visit!

The food is absolutely amazing. The portions are huge! Our waitress was super friendly. Great experience!

This restaurant brought pure happiness to my husband, and that’s no small feat. He grew up in New York and has spent years searching for authentic Italian food in Texas, but nothing has ever come close... until now. We had the Italian sausage with peppers, Dee’s special, garlic bread topped with tomatoes and cheese, and the olive oil dipping sauce. All were amazing! Every bite reminded him of home, and the entire experience was enhanced by the incredibly reasonable prices and the warm, friendly service that made us feel at home. We left full, content, and already planning our return. This place is a gem—and will be a must-stop every time we visit our daughter at Baylor.

Found this amazing place on google maps driving thru Waco. OMG...Best lasagna I've ever had & my boyfriends spegetti & meatballs were awesome. The senior portions are more than enough & prices are so so reasonable. And you've got to order the garlic oil dipping sauce for the bread...incredible! Service was awesome! Love love love this place. Definitely going back there next time I'm in Waco. Wish they had one in Round Rock!

Tried the pasta sampler-it’s was amazing and just the right portions! Lasagna was my favorite then the cannelloni then the manicotti but they were all very good!
