Excellent Italian food in a historic building with outdoor seating
Last Wednesday I had lunch with a friend at Barbetta. I had been there once before the pandemic. The restaurant is unique in several ways. It is in the restaurant district in midtown. It may be the oldest family run restaurant in Manhattan since it was started in 1906. It is built in a row of brownstones. It is incredibly elegant inside and has outdoor garden seating in the ready. We sat outside. They have a large menu, with dates in brackets beside many dishes. This represents the year th3 fish was added to the menu. They also have a large wine list, primarily Italian. This is an Italian fine dining restaurant. Fortunately they have a three course lunch menu priced at $41. They also feature two wine, a red and a white, priced at $12/glass or $55/bottle. This is the route we chose. There are six appetizer, five entree and three dessert choices. I asked the waiter for suggestions and went for the whole wheat penne pasta with a ragu of meat sauce to start, followed by the linguine al pesto. Both were good choices. We both had strawberries with zabaglione for dessert. It was a good lunch. Are there negatives? The dessert was pre plated, meaning the zabaglione was not whipped tsbleside and served warm. It was a cold dish. Otherwise, everything else was great. The pricing is good for midtown Manhattan. We would return.

We were at Barbetta last night and did not have a reservation. The staff were all welcoming and attentive throughout. The food is Piemontese Italian with many traditional dishes and an excellent selection of wines. All the dishes that we chose were delicious and my friend, who lived in Piemonte for many years, said they were authentic in both taste and presentation. The prices are quite high but this is central New York! I would definitely visit again.
Be the first to ReplyThe oldest "Italian" in NY
A historic Italian restaurant a stone's throw from Times Square. Slightly old-fashioned furnishings but a charming place that offers classic and well-made Italian/Piedmontese cuisine. Discreet service and wine list. The only flaw is that the curtains on the windows require urgent washing at the dry cleaners. Account in the norm.

I came here with a mentor/friend in between Broadway shows. This is a highly ranked restaurant for her. She wasn't wrong. From the ambiance to the food to the waitstaff (Eduardo in particular!), I had an amazing dining experience.
Be the first to ReplySubpar food, disappointing experience
Given this restaurantโs story, the quality of the food was really disappointing. We both did the fixed price pre-theater dinner. I had the rabbit, which was tough, and my companion had the Bue de Barolo, which was a lot like meatloaf. As far as fine dining goes, you can do better for the price. Unfortunately, I think this restaurantโs finest days are long behind it.

Absolutely wonderful each time we go. Tonight it was a birthday. We asked for a quiet corner table, and it was all ready for us, a request often ignored at other restaurants. Our dinner was amazing! Old school northern Italian specialties including an assortment of antipasto as appetizers, delicious home made pasta dishes, lanb and venison for main course and topped off with the best desserts! The wine list is perfect as were the Negronis that we started with. Special thank you to Ramon, the captain, who made us feel so special! Canโt wait to go back.
Be the first to ReplyReturn visit as terrific as the first time
We made a return visit after four years and were equally pleased with our first time. Barbetta is simply great. A couple disclaimers: If youโre looking for innovation, go elsewhere. If you have a super American palate and only appreciate salt or sugar-laden food, this is not your place. If you want modern chic decor and trendiness, consider other options. Finally, their รก la carte menu is not offered Tuesday through Saturday between 4:30 and 7pm if they are extremely busy, but is always available starting at 7:30pm. If you have your heart set on something not on the prix fixe menu, book outside that window to avoid being disappointed. Barbetta feels like walking into a spectacular time capsule. The food is traditional to northern Italy and prepared as it would be in Europe. Our appetizer of prosciutto snd melon was impeccably simple snd delicious. My Bue al Barolo (braised beef with polenta) was comfort food at its best. The venison was perfectly cooked and the poached apple served alongside was very tasty and seasonally appropriate. The espresso chocolate cake was like a piece of barely-sweet fudge with pure cocoa flavor and the lemon pistachio tart was reminiscent of a fantastic key lime pie. Service at Barbetta is always a top notch experience, with men in white jackets and bow toes catering to our every need. We just love it there and canโt recommend it highly enough!
Be the first to ReplyA mixed night at Barbetta on Restaurant Row, NYC
Beautiful and classic dining room, and depending on who serves you, it can be joyous or boring. Same with the food: one Italian appetizer we had was brilliant (pasta with pesto) and one was just mediocre. And what is with the mashed potatoes: green! Ok, but no flavor that I would ever want to taste again. The mousse was fine, and would have been better served with a small pastry or cookie. I just love the history of the place; but a few modern touches in the food would be most welcome. A bonus: not irritating music playing; we actually could have a lovely conversation at dinner. Great hostess! Lots of flair. One of the head waiters (in black dress clothes) was delightful, one was just flat and boring in his approach. So, overall a mixed experience, but we are so glad the place exists and people who carp about the "outdated" dining room are just idiots.
Be the first to ReplyMediocre Food
We went here for a date night one evening in June and there was plenty that was left to be desired from our meal. The ambiance is fine - a bit dated and stale. The staff were friendly and moderately attentive but didn't go out of their way / above and beyond. All that said, what really drove this rating, was the average (At best) quality of food. The bread tasted stale, the swordfish was bland and unimaginative (no vegetables/garnishes to go with it really), and thus difficult to get through. Skipped dessert simply because we do not want the sugar nor calories though we are confident it would not have changed out opinion.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing that itโs been in business since 1906
There were not many things to like about this place. There was a reasonable selection of wine by the glass. The pre theatre menu was a good price and offered a good mix of starters, mains and desert. Wait staff were professional and attentive. I hate plastic flowers on tables. The decor was a unusual mix of furniture. The problem is the food. The mozzarella in my starter was not as fresh as it should have been and the penne pasta was not freshly made. The swordfish was acceptable but the steak with red wine was not good. Desert was nice. The coffee was old and had been sitting for a while. I would not return.
Be the first to ReplyA Theatre District Gem
Theatre District gem. Northern Italian cuisine in the heart of the Theatre District. Main dinner room exudes history and tradition. The food was prepared with the care of a hit Broadway show. Waiter Tito Garay shared that he is approaching his third decade at the restaurant. Tito was knowledgeable about every aspect of the menu. He was both professional and personable. Reservations a must! An incredible meal is guaranteed.

What an amazing experience we had! I was searching for something special in the theater district and oh boy did I find it! This is the oldest Italian restaurant in all of New York City. It is old school, elegant, and the food is divine! I look forward to returning time and time again.
Be the first to ReplyAn excellent old world experience
Still our favorite pre theatre dinner in Nyc. Havenโt been there for several years but it felt like coming home. With so many old restaurants disappearing itโs a pleasure to see Barbettaโs 100+ year run is not over. Food was great and so was service. Itโs an โold worldโexperience you should try at least once.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious, beautiful, but disappointed
Let me give some context for reference...I visit the city frequently and have never given a second thought as to a bill for dining out. Last night my wife and I had a post show dinner at Barbetta. Let me say the ambiance was beautuful, the service very good (they forgot to bring my wife's coffee), and the food delicious. What I did not like was after sitting down, we were told that the price fix menu was the only menu you could choose from. It was limited to say the least. We went there for their extensive menu options, and to not have an option was disappointing. Most restaurants, if not all, allow you to order from their regular menu. (Price fix was $63 p/p) PF included appetizer, entree, side salad, and dessert. We both chose a pasta for an appetizer (I also ordered a la carte minestrone soup for upcharge), my wife had a bass dish, and I had a braised beef dish. What was most surprising was when I was given the bill. I was charged $19 for a small plate of pasta as an appetizer. I was also charged $24 per glass of wine for my wife x2 & $16 per glass x2 for me. I've never paid $24 for a glass of wine. Overall, very nice restaurant. In my opinion, overpriced. There are many great Italian restaurants in NYC whose food are outstanding, with lovely ambiance, and do not charge those prices for a small plate of pasta and $24 for a glass of wine, and also limit you to a special menu. Total bill with tip, $300
Be the first to ReplyVery Special Experience
While not everyone will love this place, many of us think it is exceptional and wonderful. The downside is the old style decor. As family owned for more than a century, it reflects a rich history. It is steeped in history. The service was first rate and the Maitre D, Eduardo is a treasure. He is the orchestra conductor who treats every diner like his special guest while making the house run smoothly. We had a first rate pre-theater dinner, totally un-rushed and special. The food was high quality. We had salmon and rabbit. Starters, salads and desserts were a pleasure. This is a spacious, comfortable place where you can have a conversation without the usual noise of other venues. Highly recommended.
Be the first to ReplyOutstanding Pre-Theatre Meal at a Great Price in a Historic Restaurant
Several weeks ago my wife was in NY with friends from Washington and they introduced her to Barbetta. She liked it so much, she brought me when we were in town this week for a Broadway Play. We had the pre-theatre menu. The food was outstanding. I had wild rice and crab. I've never had better. She had the filet mignon and loved it. Not only was the food excellent and the restaurant gorgeous but it's ideally located in the theatre district. The Maitre D', Eduardo, went out of his way to tell us the history of the restaurant and the family that owns it - the oldest family-owned restaurant still in operation in NY. It's quite a story. Ask for Eduardo; He's a real gem. Barbetta is now our "go to" pre-theatre restaurant. Hopefully, they'll still have crab and wild rice on the menu next time we visit.

We recently had dinner at this divine restaurant, meeting with a friend who lives in NYC. The outside courtyard area is perfect for a summers evening, lovely food and wine/beer, service was incredible. Barbetta is a hidden gem, if I could give you 100 stars I would! Greetings from England!
Be the first to ReplyGreat for Pre-Theater Dinner
When the restaurant we originally planned to eat dinner at before seeing Jagged Little Pill had no one in it, we checked the internet and found a seating at Barbetta - so glad that we did! Location is great, atmosphere is amazing (with great history!), service and food were excellent - and we were able to get through our 'theater menu' meal with plenty of time to make it to the show - would definitely recommend!
Be the first to ReplyFood was divine!
We were looking for a restaurant where we could dine post theaterโright now very few options on a Saturday night. We arrived around 10 pm and were the only patrons, usually not a good sign. In this case we were delightfully surprised. We each chose different 1/2 portions of pasta for first course and all were very well prepared ( agnolotti, gnocchi, and a roasted tomato spaghetti) - mains ( rack of lamb and rabbit) did not disappoint. For dessert hazelnut cake and lemon/pistachio torte. Service was attentive, wine list extensive. The room is a bit formal, old school style. There is a courtyard which looks like it would be inviting in warmer weather. Looking forward to a return.
Be the first to ReplyBarbetta is a lovely authentic Italian restaurant
If you are looking for an authentic Italian experience, you must try Barbetta. We loved the authentic and tasty food and the atmosphere was so charming. From a friendly greeting and handshake upon entrance, we felt like family the entire visit. The wine was absolutely marvelous.
Be the first to ReplyUnexpectedly fantastic
We almost cancelled after reading recent reviews and I am so glad we didnโt. The food was exceptional. The sea bass was cooked perfectly with a crispy crust, the scallops were phenomenal and the gnocchi - wow. Great service and great Waiter who has been there 52 years. Really a great meal and experience. Perfect pre-theater.
Be the first to ReplyWhat a place.
I have read a few of the reviews on here and they seem to sum this place up perfectly. We stumbled across it after having a very busy day sightseeing. We were blown away in so many ways. The decor it extremely dated, the service is laugh out loud at points, the food was good, not great but good. My husband and I had a fantastic night, enjoying the waiter looking for his corkscrew to open a bottle of wine with a screw top, he then seemed very annoyed with the bottle and almost through the bottle in the ice bucket! Poured wine for my husband but not me, cleared plates we had not quite finished, brought desserts when we still had a mouth full of our main course. If you want an adventure in New York you must visit, if you prefer you dinner without a laugh then then please avoid.
Be the first to ReplyFood ok, letโs talk about the restโฆ
As an Italian man let me start making a clear distinction between what is defined a nice ancient, and what is defined an ugly old. I saw many excited comments on TA that highly talked about the ancient stile of the restaurant โฆ in this place there is really Nothing ancient but only old stuff that I would have thrown away many years ago.
Our restaurant experience began with a rude lady at the wardrobe, that did not allow my wife to keep her fur coat with us, the restaurant was empty, but she said using a very imperative tone โor you leave it with me or you will be forced to wear it at all timeโโฆ
Our food was served in a timely manner, but it was just ok, not good and not bad, just eatable.
The service was ok, but a bit tired and with no emotion,
This place needs a deep reform, that include a full renovation of the interiors and a more actual menu, if they want to regain a prestige that has been lost. Don't waste your money here.
Still FABULOUS!!!
My husband & I had a lovely dinner here on a Tuesday evening after a show. I hadn't been since pre-pandemic and it was closed during that time, as well, and just recently re-opened. It was LOVELY to be back! This place really takes you back to old world charm! The entrance is under a brownstone stoop and is deceptive from the outside on how grand the scale is. The space it quite large and is 2 brownstones wide with super high ceilings. A venue like this is not found in old pre-war spaces, but maybe in the hotels. The staff is dressed in typical high end restaurants in black & white with ties. The tables are white table cloths and set a comfortable distance apart. There is also a very large outdoor garden open seasonally. The food was delicious and drinks were great. The clientele was very mixed with a large group in the middle taking up 3 tables, to older couples, younger couples, a couple with 2 young kids, and my husband & I (middle ages) on a date night. If you're looking for some old NYC glamour, then definitely go to Barbetta!
Be the first to ReplyWorst Restaurant ever!
The atmosphere was supposed to be elegant and the Rest. states it has been in business for over 100 yrs. The decor shows it. This was by far the worst Restaraunt we had ever eaten in. And we eat out a lot!! My dish was terrible and I did not even eat it. When the waiter asked if it was ok...I told him the truth and said we just wanted our check. He said ok and sent someone over with it. Never apologized or explained the bad food. The waiter (a different one, because there were many who kept asking if we wanted more water since our food was taking so long) was extremely rude when we wanted water the 1st time. He asked if we wanted the bottled Water, when I said no the tap was fine...under his breathe he was saying as he was walking away from the table "oh...so you want the NY Tap water!) I called him back and got the bottle, he made it seem like the water was going to taste like crap! (Older waiter, White Hair, White Jacket) When another waiter came by later with the "Tap Water" he said it was clean and filtered...and "nothing wrong with it" we had already opened the Bottle at this point. This was a one and done and we will NEVER return! Way to go for customer service and word of mouth to have people return there. I think word of mouth is huge for repeat customers? Maybe they thought we will never return to NY anyway? Or never send anyone their way? They are correct now!
