Barano is a wood-fired, modern Italian restaurant off the Williamsburg Bridge where the Lasagne Napoletana—layered with dry-aged meatballs, sausage, herb ricotta, and mozzarella—sits alongside a tight lineup of pastas and pizzas. The room feels like a contemporary trattoria, and the lasagna has become a cold-weather staple highlighted across their menus and social feeds.

What makes it special: Modern Italian cooking centered around a deeply layered, housemade Neapolitan lasagna and a wood-fired kitchen.
Who should go: Lasagna-focused diners who still want cocktails and a scene.
When to visit: Best at peak dinner hours when the room feels lively but not chaotic.
What to order: Lasagne Napoletana, one additional pasta, a shared pizza to start.
Insider tip: If you’re with a group, split the lasagna and a couple of pastas family-style to sample more of the menu.
