Had such a delightful evening at Barbusa celebrating our anniversary. Our waitress, Kelley, was the most genuinely kind person and made our night even more enjoyable! We enjoyed the speck plate, granchio, and garlic bread and she made dietary limits a non issue in such a gracious way. Everything was fantastic and the entire staff made it even more so.

Service is wonderful, attentive but also relaxed. Food was fantastic, the tuna was the highlight for me. At the end they gave us complimentary deserts too, also delish! Love the outdoor seating. Is a bit pricey for the portion size, but the food quality is high. Came for dinner a few months later. The bone marrow, steak and calamari was great! Served by Mike who was wonderful

If you like Italian food and good vibes this is the place to check out. All the dishes my group ordered were fantastic, the venue was great and the service was great. I enjoyed the osso bucco dish and specialty cocktails. They had plenty of indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. I’d highly recommend making reservations beforehand as it got busy.

Friendly service and good food. It was easier for us to get a spot for brunch than it was for dinner. My partner’s favorites are the carbonara and squash blossoms. Unfortunately, I’m not a fan or the gargonzola which is in the Quattro Framaggio inside the blossom. That’s my stupid palate though as they would’ve been delightful otherwise. The meatballs are a tad different than most appetizers in the area that use a more traditional Ragu. Their sauce was thinner and had a sweetness that some might enjoy. The oxtail risotto was a nice change of pace from traditional creamy risottos of other restaurants. There is outdoor dining but come prepared for some sun as there isn’t enough umbrellas to cover all the tables. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous, of course. All the staff was super friendly. The darling man that helped us had an accent stronger than my friends that were born Italy and was patient with me and had some laughs with my partner when I struggled to understand the order of my celeb tequila flight. Who orders a tequila flight at an Italian restaurant? Anyone curious about comparing George Clooney’s, The Rock’s, and Michael Jordan’s side by side.

Kind of like a high chair. Your feet won't be able to reach the ground while you are seated.
