My favorite place. Been going for years. Best ever chicken w/ salsa verde & always order the gnocchi. Great atmosphere!
CharlottesAugust 1, 2016Can't beat the location in summer and the food is on point, finely executed Italian fare. Delish!
Nicole WilliamsMay 26, 2011The atmosphere is great on a warm summers evening when they open the restaurant up! Foods great - recommend the swordfish with artichokes. The linguinetti was also lovely.
Melissa RogersJanuary 26, 2014Per Frank Bruni: a seasonal salad as an appetizer (go for the shaved brussels sprouts!), the roasted chicken as entree.
Cesar RazuriNovember 30, 2014Chicken, chicken, chicken. Rydberg guys make a really good bird. Cocktails are great as well.
Maria AlvarezAugust 2, 2013Pizza uovo. Wow. Don't hesitate - order it! You can share it as an appetizer to be able to have more food :)
Justin FerrantiApril 10, 2016The fiddlehead bruschetta is made by angels. Main portions are large, so it's better to share a few plates.
The roast chicken is one of my favorite meals in town. Also love anything they do with Brussel sprouts or kale.
The kitchen can always make carbonara even if it's not on the menu. Always always always order this dish!
Adam RauscherFebruary 26, 2013JW Chicken is tremendous. It's the same roast chicken your mother made, but absolutely perfect and bursting with flavor.
Luke ChuOctober 22, 2018Nice place , great service great place for a date!! The food is ok the drinks on the menu are a bit weird!!
JessicaMarch 17, 2015Awesome scene/ambiance. The cocktails are on point and the bartenders are very knowledgeable.
BravoDecember 2, 2010Chef/owner Jonathan Waxman runs this neighborhood place and makes food that makes people happy. -Jimmy Bradley , Top Chef
Hailey NguyenFebruary 17, 2018Portion size was inconsistent - the chicken and the bolognese are huge while the squid ink pasta dish is tiny. Gnocchi was not fluffy and light. I expected better.
OliviaJuly 27, 2017Try the roast chicken, but feel free to share it, as it's literally a half of a chicken. And try the rigatoni
BollareNovember 27, 2012As recommended by the Sartorialist on Instagram, I tried the brussel sprout salad and it's the best in the city! -Tera P.
- Brad LFebruary 4, 2013Chef/owner Jonathan Waxman started his career at Chez Panisse. Get the Pollo al Forno or the Pizza Cavolo (lunch only for pizzas).
They currently have a gnocchi with sausage and kale on the menu. If you see it, get it
Colby CashenSeptember 24, 2013It's already been said but the chicken and steak are amazing and randomly enough so is the cauliflower side dish
Jeff WeinsteinMay 13, 2017Not my favorite kind of place (more posh than food) but fun when it's nice out to hang out in the hood. Split a salad and the chicken. Potatoes looked good. Pasta was overwhelming.
julia tNovember 16, 2014Love it. Shaved cauliflower salad, roast chicken. Best bolognese I've had in the city.
Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014Jonathan Waxman’s chicken with salsa verde and carbonara pasta are some of my favorite things to eat here!
Ashley ChanJune 28, 2017The interior decor was underwhelming & reminded me of an old factory. The chicken didn't stand out to me as the inside was dry despite a very flavorful skin. Gnocchi & kale salad were pretty good.
SolApril 7, 2019Solid brunch spot with outdoor seating. Overrated in large part because of the frequently long wait times.
PeterNovember 10, 2012The gin list here is killer. And they serve Fever Tree tonic. Gin lovers take note.
New York PRJanuary 7, 2017This spot is best as a warm weather dinner spot. The pollo al forno is just roasted chicken, nothing special.
Deepa MirchandaniDecember 4, 2018Try the carbonara for a totally new experience. Great space and excellent service.
Barbuto brunch , we know spotted pig and pastis, but this is the new spot-- great food and amazing smiles to start your Sunday !
Ryan AmbsSeptember 19, 2015Braised goat and cucumber salad. Great place to go if you want to be outside
Susan NatoliOctober 22, 2013One of the best meals I've had in NYC in a long time. It still haunts my dreams.
Seline JungSeptember 25, 2016Make a reservation! Plates here work great for sharing family-style. ✌🏼️
um.. Pure #awesomeness. period. beyond the #magical chicken- this place is fucking fantastic! a NYC gem. #Love
- Tim TayshunJuly 26, 2017If you are looking for some great authentic Italian food. This is the spot for you!
KellyFebruary 28, 2014Barbuto has the city's best carbonara but be sure to go at lunch, it's not on the dinner menu.
