Bearno's Pizza

Our troubles began when my kids and I tried to walk through the bar to the outside dining area. The bartender was on me in seconds, as if he wanted to tackle me, telling me I couldn't be in the bar. I told him I wanted to eat outside (and you could only get to that seating area through the bar.) He said he'd let me in through a gate, which he did, but he sorta made a scene about it. Apparently, Indiana takes having kids walk through a bar VERY SERIOUSLY.

I think our waiter kept forgetting we were out there, but I don't know. He was friendly enough, but he wasn't sure whether or not they could give us a plate  of wings that was half BBQ and half spicy. I couldn't imagine why that would be a problem, but he returned from checking on that question saying that they could. Whew!

The food was OK. I didn't expect much, and it was fine. I felt like there was way too much sauce with our pasta, but I like pasta with less sauce than most people. Still, this was like tomato soup with pasta bits in it. And I ordered the pasta with a "sausage link." That's in quotes because the menu said "italian sausage link," so I expected some pasta with a meat tube of delicious Italian sausage. Instead, there was a handful of sausage chunks, like you'd put on pizza. If I wasn't pressed for time, I would have complained and sent the plate back.

I'm complaining a lot in this review, but Bearno's is a decent enough place with reasonable prices. The food was good enough, the staff was good enough, and they were fast enough. It's not the Ritz. We had fun hanging out there. I had young kids with me and nobody minded that they were up and down and making a lot of noise. I'd go back.
