    It was my 1st time dining here. The waiter seated me promptly. I ordered a wild mushroom wood fired pizza. It came quickly; it was simply delicious! I would come again.

    We came here tonight to have a drink and an appetizer. The place was really nice and the host was friendly. He offered us to sit at the pizza bar for faster service. We ordered the Calamari Frito as an appetizer and two drinks. The lady that was taking our order seemed to be rushing us. She even took our unfinished glass of wine away. I told her that we were in no rush and we'd come to relax. She apologized and brought another glass of wine, but the damage was already made. The food was really good and we enjoyed watching the process of pizza making in a wood oven.

    1st time here and will be back! The bruschetta was fabulous.. forgot to take a pic.... Update... The happy hour nibbles menu isn't a large as it used to be and the pours on the wine have gotten a little smaller. STILL fantastic food! My favorite is the mushroom and arugula pizza... absolutely to die for!

    Good place to get a wine flight. Had some cocktails here and they were fine but nothing special. Service was adequate although could’ve been a little friendlier. Overall a place I would frequent again.

    Excellent! It was my second time here. I had my infant son with us this time. The waitress was extremely patient and did not make us feel rushed at all. The food was on point and extremely delicious ! I recommend the charcuterie tray

    Loved my first experience here! My daughter had gone a couple times so she was excited to take me! Cute ambiance, friendly staff and the food was amazing. Our server was really knowledgeable and we let her pick for us & were thrilled with her choices! We will definitely be back!

  • 3/5 Jessica W. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was delicious but our waitress definitely made us feel like we were an inconvenience and even though didnt directly say anything rude her demeanor was less than pleasant and we couldnt wait to leave.

  • 5/5 Allen W. 1 year ago on Google
    We stopped in Barrington on our way back to Hard from a day trip to Chicago. Exited the train, walked the easy couple of blocks to this restaurant, enjoyed a nice dinner and then recorded a later train (2 hours between) for the rest of our trip to Harvard. My wife ordered a mushrooms pasta which she said was awesome. My son and I each had a wood-fired pizza, also both very good. Total bill about $90 including drinks. A nice experience.

  • 5/5 Jim L. 1 year ago on Google
    Had dinner at Neotecca last night . Dinner was great as always - Our waiter was Jason and he was awesome - worked with us tweaking a menu item to meet our request - they are very fortunate to have Jason taking care of their customers !

  • 5/5 Paxton B. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a excellent experience here with my wife. The food came fast and the customer service is just awesome. Prices are fair.

  • 5/5 Richard F. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic and fresh food, I love the character the place has, and the workers were super friendly. I will definitely come back in the future.

  • 5/5 Robin W. 4 years ago on Google
    I dont normaly leave reviews...but to be completely honest, it has been a very long time since I have had such a good time in a restaurant. I had never been to Neoteca before tonight and had no expectations good or bad. Everything I ordered and everything I put in my mouth was fabulous! I attribute the perfect experience to our server Sarah. She helped us navigate the menu and picked the perfect pairing for our individual tastes. We will be coming back to Neoteca and we will be coming in on Wednesday's to see Sarah.

    Food & dessert was on point!

  • 5/5 Cecil G. 1 year ago on Google
    We sat in the train cart section which was quite nice. A different scenery. Food was great. I had the seafood special of the day and it was delicious! Will come back to try other items.

  • 4/5 Grant 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service from our waitress. Pizza looks better than it actually is in my personal opinion. Bruschetta is very good though. Definitely worth giving this place a try

  • 5/5 Stephanie Z. 7 years ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Been eating/drinking here since it opened. It's a 35 minute drive but I'm here as often as I can be. Pizza is neopolitan-style made to order in a wood-fire over, pasta is made in house and the dessert is outstanding. I could pick just about anything on the menu and I'll enjoy it. Love the burrata plate, every type of bruschetta they offer and any of their pizza. The crust is chewy and flavorful, stays true to tradition. I come here to show off the food while catching up with friends, or on my own for a glass of red wine to enjoy the atmosphere and relax. Did I mention the wine is on tap?? I love wine and food. LOVE to make eating and drinking an entire outing in itself. Every dish I've had has been a pleasant surprise, reminding me of something I know from traveling to Italy, but done a little differently. As for the wine? I thought I had better than average knowledge. The bartender always has a suggestion, l and I trust them to make me try something new I'll love. This place has never steered me wrong. Go here. And then come back often.

  • 3/5 Barbara L. 1 year ago on Google
    It was ok for me a little dark, it’s always been dark… louder than I like. The drink were fine just lacking something but I can’t put my finger on it. The pizza is fine the the truffle Fries are delicious very yummy. It’s just me

  • 5/5 anita s. 1 year ago on Google
    Upscale yet relaxed Italian fare. Good variety of appetizers, pizzas, salads and pastas. Modern decor.

  • 5/5 Sean B. 10 months ago on Google
    Great all around high-end place in Barrington without city prices. Well thought out and tasty menu. Great gluten free pizzas.

  • 4/5 Doc R. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was ok. Had a charcuterie board. Meat was incredibly salty and bread was dry with no butter or olive oil. We asked for olive oil and 10 minutes later got about a tablespoon worth for the whole table. Salad was OK. Dressing very good. Service was pleasant but mostly absent. About $50 pp. A little disappointed for the price.

  • 5/5 Jacci J. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was AMAZING! The server needs a bit more training in customer service. She never checked on us, even after the food came out. So sad to have such poor service at a place with amazing food.

  • 5/5 Ryan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Best pizza in town. Made to perfection everytime. Also very great customer service and had a wonderful experience catering a very large order for a party. Food was great, everything was correct and made the highlight of the party.

  • 5/5 Allen M. 3 years ago on Google
    Very special place!

  • 4/5 Cami L. 4 years ago on Google
    It’s fun to hang out with family and friends in this place. They got good atmosphere and good servers. Foods were good. Taking one star off for the calamari cause it is too salty and something upset my stomach in the end which I don’t really know what it is.

  • 5/5 Linda O. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice to be able to sit outside. Great food,friendly help.

  • 4/5 D & T E. 3 years ago on Google
    I enjoyed the pizza quite a bit. Great place for you and your mates to have a bite and a few cocktails. Won't give it a five till I can sit indoors.

  • 5/5 michael m. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent pizza and a number of tasty Italian dishes makes Neoteca a must. The porcini ravioli is outstanding and my personal favorite.

  • 5/5 Johnny P. 4 years ago on Google
    Neoteca was a fun experience close to home. Normally we travel far distances to eat a meal but it was a nice change of pace. There was many small plate options, brick oven pizzas, and pasta choices. Of course the main draw is the wine selection. They have tasting flights that you can build your own so it suits what you want to try. Overall was a fun and great experience. Would reccomend people to try at least once and we could see ourselves coming back.

  • 5/5 Alice H. 4 years ago on Google
    Great vibes and super service. The food was crisp and yummy. Will surely recommend this spot to friends. Reasonable rates and large portions. Keep it up.

  • 5/5 Dan C. 3 years ago on Google
    This was our first experience dinning at Neoteca and couldn’t have been more satisfied. The staff was engaging, food was excellent and everything was properly wiped down as patrons came and went. Fist class all the way!

  • 4/5 Charlotte W. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a good time lunching with a girlfriend. The specialty drinks were great.. but I found it to be a little overpriced. Decent pizza and menu.

  • 4/5 Pee R. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was great, service was just OK.

  • 5/5 Darrell R. 3 years ago on Google
    fancy enough without feeling you have to wear anything too formal - high quality food and cocktails - friendly workers - I seldom ever had an issue there, but when I did once or twice, they fixed it immediately without a hassle - I highly recommend for lunch, which has great specials, or dinner!

  • 5/5 Jayesh C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Geetha F. 3 years ago on Google
    Great appetizers, bruscheta bar, drinks and pizza. Always a hit for the entire family. If you like spicy, try the spicy soppresata pizza. For those who love truffle , truffle fries and wild mushroom pizza is amazing! Charcuterie board also a great choice!

    We sat at a very dark table which was a bit humorous but the service and food more than made up for our dark space! Very cool place!

    The porcini ravioli and wild mushroom pizza are my favorites!
