We have lived in the area for over 20 years and have been here several times and went again last night. As usual the food is delicious and the atmosphere is fun-albeit loud. My main problem with Birravino are the prices. One beer ($9), one glass of wine ($12), a dinner size salad ($16)and a plate of Rigatoni ($28) plus tip and it s nearly $80 for Italian food. The portions were not large-the Rigatoni -which actually looked a lot more like manicotti-had four pieces and a meatball. It was delicious-but $28? Really? And $9 for a pint of craft beer is nuts-later that evening I didn t pay more than $6 for a beer in town.
