The restaurant concept was created by Vic Rallo, host of Eat! Drink! Italy! on Create TV. Over the past 10 years, Vic has traveled to Italy more than 20 times, cooking and eating in obscure kitchens and restaurants run by famous Michelin-starred chefs. His passion drives the notion of 'materia prima', or the prime ingredient, bringing the importance of each item on the table to Red Bank. The team includes Victor Rallo as Majority Owner, Bobby Rallo as Owner, Sarah Howard as Manager, Sergio Rojas as Executive Chef, and Berta Marín as Kitchen Manager.

Diners can visit the Pasta Lab to watch the team make ravioli, gnudi, rigatoni, mafaldine, and more. All pasta is made in-house daily in Il Laboratorio Della Pasta. The menu features specific dishes such as Big Vic's meatballs with pecorino Romano, creamy arancini, crispy fried calamari, Spanish octopus, and house-made mozzarella. Options include fresh black shell mussels, rigatoni with burrata, spicy rigatoni, orecchiette with Italian sausage, mafaldine bolognese, cavatelli with beef ragu, Fra Diavolo with Maine lobster, four cheese ravioli, and casarecce with roasted vegetables. Pizza selections include the Originale and Margherita. The Wine Spectator has awarded Birravino its Award of Excellence every year since 2015.

Birravino brings the authentic flavors of Italy to Red Bank through its in-house pasta and curated menu.
