Barbetta

I have been to The Play That's Gone Wrong" and unfortunately now I have been to the "Dinner That's Gone Wrong, sadly it wasn't anything near as entertaining as the play, which was also OFF Broadway.

The most unfortunate part of this defective dinner was the beautiful patio, reminiscent of quiet an Italian Piazza, but also the attention to detail on behalf of the wait staff. Its quite obvious why everyone was seating outdoors, walking into the restaurant felt a bit like walking through a dated funeral parlor. Do yourself a favor and dine outside, no need to sit with the ghosts of Christmas past.

They do serve a very good SAN DANIELE PROSCIUTTO IMPORTED AND MELON. Unfortunately nothing after the First Course is consistent here, not even the drinks, cranberry juice is NOT an ingredient in an Old Fashioned. The LINGUINE AL PESTO, being WAY to heavy on the pesto, was a dinner stopper. Not even the thick spaghetti noodles could balance out the overabundance of that terribly dense pesto sauce.

Inconsistent to the end!! Even the bill was WAY off, in the wrong direction, and this happens in a restaurant that posts its prices on the menu. There will be no encore. Cheers!

Very reasonably priced for a prix fixe dinner. Reservation process was stress free, and our lateness was readily accommodated. Service was attentive. The food itself was superb. The look was slightly antiquated, but that is all part of the charm. While not necessarily the best restaurant in New York, or even in Hell’s Kitchen, Barbetta is perfect for a reliable pre-show dinner.

It feels like a retirement home. A lot of the waiters are super old too. The customers are old too with some young mixed in. Food is ok and overpriced. Was forced to do prefix menu. Piano player was nice. Not a fan of how the seats face same side of table and look out. It feels like a factory pumping out food for those about to go to broadway. In one hour 4 different groups were sung happy birthday too. Not for me.

I had the pleasure of dining at Barbetta, and I must say, the interior is truly captivating. The elegant decor, reminiscent of a classic Italian garden, creates a charming and romantic atmosphere. From the ornate chandeliers to the vintage furnishings, every detail contributes to a sophisticated dining experience. Barbetta's interior design is a perfect complement to its delectable cuisine.

We loved this restaurant that was one of the highlights of our stay in NYC. The atmosphere and the service was amazing. Really friendly staff, it was a pleasure to meet Eduardo. And the food was delicious! Highly recommended.

I photographed Tara and Mark's beautiful wedding here during the summer. I highly recommend it! The atmosphere and food was amazing! They had their ceremony upstairs and had a private dining room in the restaurant for their reception. ig @konradbrattke

This place serves truly amazing pastas! It was one of the two recommendations we received from our Italian friend. Initially, we were hesitant due to the negative reviews on yelp, but we were glad we decided to check it out.

We ordered two prefixes with roasted peppers, ragu penne, roasted rabbit, and braised beef. While the beef was just ok, everything else was delicious. The true highlight of our meal was the gnocchi in cream sauce, which was super light and fluffy. Absolutely delightful.

I could never understand why people claimed that the food is bad here, but I can emphasize with the confusion around their prefix and ala carte menu. Particularly during weekend dinners, it is not possible to order from the ala carte menu until 8:30pm, and guests are limited to choosing the three-course prefixed options.
