Would have appreciated more beets in the beet salad, but everything was delicious. The Branzino was fabulous!

Everything we ate was delicious. Chris our waiter was great we went with all his recommendations and loved it all. We were 4 people and able to order a variety of items. The arancini, The short rib and pappardelle pastas, octopus and duck entree and a Calabrese pizza were all amazing. Can’t believe it was our first time we can’t wait to go back.

Went out for my husbands birthday/valentines dinner. We got the whipped ricotta (a returning fave), the beef tartare, the porcini campanelle, and the calabrese pizza. My only two notes are: it’s a very tight squeeze, we were sat next to another couple whose table was basically touching ours. But that’s what you get downtown! Secondly, the pizza was a bit undercooked. Very tasty but floppy and the cheese fell off! Otherwise lovely night out and great food 😊

We had a lovely time at Barbuzzo. We had to wait a bit for our table but the manager put us at the bar and gave us the whipped ricotta appetizer. So delicious! We had meatballs, beet salad and 2 pizzas. All delicious. Waiter was excellent as well.

This would be a fun place to dine were it not for its intolerable noise level. My ears were ringing for hours afterwards. Conversation is impossible without yelling. Food is great as is the service.
