The promising new restaurant has plans to someday be a wine bar, tooby\u00a0Valerie Silva<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Jan 19, 2021, 12:00pm EST<\/p>

The pair responsible for the now-defunct, but still fondly remembered Mile End restaurant Lili Co<\/a> are at it again. Except this time, David Pellizzari (chef) and Catherine Draws (front of house and wine) have made it farther west, to Saint-Henri, with the upcoming opening of their new Italian restaurant, BarBara, slated for January 25.<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s going to mainly be classic Italian, but then again it\u2019s David, and he puts a little twist on everything he does,\u201d Draws says. To illustrate, she points to his take on tortiglioni ragu, a pasta resembling rigatoni in shape (as per tradition), but served with a lamb ragu spiced with North African flavours \u2014 perhaps a nod to Pellizzari\u2019s former gig at Petite Patrie\u2019s Darna Bistroquet. \u201cIn that way he isn\u2019t totally by the book, but then when it comes to his pasta-making he is,\u201d she says.<\/p>

Those acquainted with Pellizzari\u2019s cooking at Lili Co will have already had a taste of his primo pastas skills, and they\u2019ll also recognize the playful approach brought to BarBarra\u2019s menu of veggie dishes, which include braised carrots draped in marscapone, pesto and sunflowers seeds, and leeks dressed in a popcorn sauce, hazelnut butter, and almonds. However, the only thing that\u2019s being brought, wholesale, to the Notre-Dame West locale is his zeppoli. (\u201cThey\u2019re these small donuts that are just so good, and they are Italian, so we thought why not?\u201d Draws says.)<\/p>

Open daily from 8 in the morning to 11 at night (for takeout until 7:30 p.m., and delivery only thereafter,\u00a0as per Quebec government regulations<\/a>), BarBara\u2019s offering is meant to be all-purpose and all-encompassing. There are the above-noted pasta and veggie dishes, but the lineup also includes focaccia sandwiches (think Mortadella and caponata, or grilled vegetable), coffee, more sweets, and groceries on what they are calling the \u201cdispensa\u201d (Italian for \u201cpantry\u201d) side of the establishment.<\/p>
