Barbuto

Really excellent dinner spot with a bit of a neighborhood feel to it. Sadly did not have a chance to visit the old location, but by all accounts the food here is up to par. Highlights for us included the two salads (the calamari one - wow!) as well as the gnocchi. Service was excellent and prompt, though it does get a little loud (which is part of the fun). Definitely a good place to go with a group - you'll find something to please everyone.

Big room across from Little Island, been wanting to try it for a while. Pleasant experience. Pizza was tasty, bruschetta too. We all had pastas, menu was quite limited, if I’m not mistaken there were only three pastas available, gnocchi, rigatoni with guanciale (thick bacon) and a linguine with shrimp and jalapeños in an olive oil. There was something a little odd about how the pastas were served, quite uneven portions. There were six of us, I think I would like to try it as a couple for a better evaluation. Service was good and food was flavorful.

Took my mom out to Barbuto. She immigrated from China and has been living here for 20+ years, but hasn’t ever been to a nice Italian restaurant before. I was excited to take her to this place and had high expectations based on the reviews, but was sadly disappointed. The pasta plates were small in portion size despite being $26-27. That would have been fine considering some high quality ingredients like morel mushrooms, and the fact that this is a nicer restaurant in Manhattan. But the pasta dishes we got, particularly the carbonara, were shockingly so salty. Like not the kind of yummy savory level of salty, but so salty I need to drink water with every bite and even though the portion size is small and I want to finish the food because I’m hungry and don’t want to waste food, I am physically unable to finish it because it is so salty. I hope other guests eating here do not have this same experience. The rigatoni with meat sauce was good. The morel asparagus gnocchi was so so. I still tasted cooking wine in the morels. The gnocchi was dry and doughy - I could make better gnocchi myself. Wish there was more asparagus in the dish. The kale salad was the best part of our meal. Even that was salty tasting, but in an acceptably yummy way. I hope future guests who order carbonara do not have the same disappointing experience as us.

barbuto was one of the most disappointing meals i've had in a while... the chicken which is supposed to be the star of the show was pretty tasteless. it was juicy, but lacked any sort of flavor or spices. the best item we tried was the squid salad- but everything else was not memorable. we went for brunch- the drinks were also not great. i would not return or recommend sadly... we were really excited to check it out.

So delicious! No wonder everyone raves about Barbuto. The chicken is what draws people in but my party didn’t even order it. Don’t sleep on the fried calamari salad, fettuccine fra diavlo, and the hazelnut praline cheesecake. All dishes were great but those were out of this world. Great service and hospitality. Would love to go back.

Very good environment. Loved the chicken and kale salad the best. Pizza and pasta were just as delicious. Service was a little slow. Overall 9/10

Jonathan Waxman and team are firing on all cylinders. I basically love every restaurant in the family and Barbuto is at the top of the class. Cheese plate (not pictured as it was eaten too fast) features Humbolt fog, the greatest cheese ever crafted. The wine list is accessible and fantastic along with a sommelier. Again can’t say enough

Pretty good pasta at this restaurant with a view of the Hudson river. It's pretty spacious inside with a relaxed, casual Californian vibe. The service was great throughout the meal. The calamari salad was excellent. The fried calamari worked well with the frisée salad. The shrimp linguini was amazing with its pasta coated with a sauce that had hints of lemon, garlic and jalapeño. The shrimp were a bit overcooked, however. The rigatoni was delicious. The pasta was al dente, and the sauce was packed with flavor. Almost like a pepperoni pizza... but in a pasta form. A great stop if you're in West Village or Meatpacking.
