Little Italy

Recommended by a friend, I was a little disappointed, I ordered the Bolognese Al Forno, usually these are oven cooked cheese on top and you can expect pasta like tortolenni or rigatoni or other nice teasty pasta, I really had the impression of eating a bowl of mini pasta ring. That been said, service and ambiance were excellent, probably other dishes on the menu would have been better.

My son found this place in Little Italy, we definitely wanted Italian food while down there. They had a really nice restaurant inside and lots of seating outside. We sat outside and I would definitely suggest that if you want a little bit of space. The inside got really crowded next to the bar as it’s a popular spot to grab a drink while you’re waiting for your table. I ended up getting the short rib lasagna and it did not disappoint. Our waiter was fantastic. He took care of us, helped us with the menu, and made sure that we never went without our needs. Don’t sleep on this place you got a try it .

Barbusa, a charming Italian eatery located in the heart of Little Italy. Being a popular spot in this bustling neighborhood, I highly recommend making a reservation beforehand to avoid long wait times, as walk-ins might have to endure a 1-2 hour wait for a table. During our visit, my companions and I decided to try the Lollipop Chops as our appetizers. Lamb chop with gorgonzola sauce was tender, juicy, and bursting with flavors that left a lasting impression. As for the main courses, the Pizzas and Pasta were undeniably delicious, though they didn't quite reach the level of astonishment. However, what truly stole the show was the mysterious concoction called the Barbusa Espresso Martini. This enigmatic drink recipe was not even listed on the menu, yet it proved to be a delightful surprise! I highly recommend indulging in this secret elixir that titillates your taste buds like never before. The only downside is that due to its popularity, the restaurant can get quite crowded, leading to a slower dining pace.

This is a fun and happening place in the heart of Little Italy. It's quite loud inside (but fun loud), so we dined outside on the bustling sidewalk. Extremely professional service (Rosanna thank you!). Food was very good, nice wine list. Excellent cocktails. Lovely Italian food. Not the best in Little Italy but certainly in the top tier.

It was my second time eating at Barbusa. My first experience was so good that I had to stop by when I came back into town. Again, it did not disappoint. The vibe and service were great. We ordered the Granchio and Gnocchi and both dishes were excellent. The garlic bread went great with both of them and gave us something to dip into the delicious sauces.

Barbusa is a great Italian restaurant in Little Italy! The ingredients on the pizza are simple, fresh, and classic. The lasagna was delicious. I tried the Sangria, and it was sweet & and crisp, which I loved. Kitchen & cooks are in an open concept..so you have a great view. Recommend booking a reservation in advance. Weekend evenings are pact. The lower bench's indoor is a tad short for me since I am tall. The ambiance & decor are mixed with classic & modern chic*

Had a great time for a little outing at Barbusa on a weekday night. It was very nice. The bar is always my favorite place to sit. We got cocktails that were great and had some delicious wine with dinner. I have never seen a burata with raw onions though not my favorite personally but I enjoyed everything else very much.
