Excellent atmosphere, food, and service. Highlight of my trip to Barca. Great interior and exterior with a great view of the wharf and mountains. Servers and staff were very helpful, friendly, and attentive. Live singing and music too that made the delicious food and cocktails even more enjoyable.

Food amazing, Service amazing,
BUT THAT BARMAN!!! What an arrogant person, ruined our whole mood and experience at Velissima! First of all we asked for tequila shots, he brings the salt, put his finger in and point it on my little sister to lick it… we couldn’t believe it seeing it happening.
Afterwards he charges us for extra Aperol sprits.. Then he serves my friend mixed wine with water, we all tasted it! Then he serves us different kind of Aperol Sprits either fake Aperol or another mix, no idea. Then he let us hang on the bar way too long staring at the sealing to order 2 drinks.. I cannot even keep count on how much he did. But enough to ruin the experience that it was amazing, the dj, the entertainers, the food, everything else was amazing.

Good food and brilliant service, very nice interior. Quality Italian oil, home-made butter. Music and inside DJ suggests that it's more like a club and not a quiet restaurant ;)
