Google lists: takeaway · outdoor seating · beer · wine · lunch · dinner. > Got the grabone deal for a going away present to my mom. The food was wonderful but my only complaint would be that 3 of the 5 courses were all deep fried so it sat a little heavy especially with a panacotta desert. Other than that though, everything was wonderful and great wine pairings., Caroline T, 7 years ago > Went here for lunch with my husband (we had a grabone) and was really impressed. We got (to split) the steak sandwich and pasta carbonara. Both were super delicious. My husband reckoned it was the best steak sandwich of his life. It was not very busy, which surprised me because the service and food was so good!, Nicole Down, 7 years ago > Outstanding. We had the grabone degustation dinner with matching wines and it was FLAWLESS. Amazing service, great atmosphere, we could not ask for better. 10/10., Andrew Massie, 3 years ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5366664&lon=172.6360298) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5366664,172.6360298,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Baretta%20Bar%20%26%20Restaurant) - [Christchurch Central City](https://www.chch.live/christchurch-central-city), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/101522706), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Baretta Bar & Restaurant?** An Italian restaurant in Christchurch Central City, Christchurch. **Where is Baretta Bar & Restaurant?** 174 St Asaph Street, Christchurch Central City, on [St Asaph Street](https://www.chch.live/street/christchurch-central-city/st-asaph-street).
