Barbuto

I used to love eating at the previous location, and was hopeful that things would be the same. The ambiance is still great, casual and comfortable, but the food was not as good as I remembered. The famous pollo al forno was pretty dry, nothing too special. But overall it was a nice dining experience.

Classic west village New American/Italian bistro in a lofty space with nice bar and high top seats for more casual dining. The ambiance is lively, cozy but not too loud or rowdy. The menus are well curated, featuring season ingredients and great selection of appetizers for sharing. The salads are well balanced and fresh. The pizza was bready (not thin crust) but the bolognese sauce was delicious. The chocolate budino was rich and silky, perfect for chocolate lovers to share. The price is definitely west village level but for the experience it’s worth the value for a cozy get together.

The restaurant was very noisy, service was quiet robotic, it was too noisy for waiters to hear that we haven’t finished the plates before they clean our plates. We ordered 3 things: the meatball was nice but waiter took the plate before we could finish the sauce; tagliatelle was very buttered we were super bloated after; the bolognese was very salty.

Food is amazing! Drink is amazing! And sunset is absolutely stunning!

Great food and service in a beautiful location

Absolutely love this restaurant
