Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Barbuzzo Restaurant in Philly is a must-visit for inventive and fresh dishes. The "salted caramel budino" and "whipped ricotta" are standout favorites. While the space is cozy and can be noisy, the "service is top notch" and the "flavors are uniquely delightful." Highly recommended for food enthusiasts!

Barbuzzo is one of our favorite restaurants in Philly. We always get the beet salad, it is delicious. The calabrese pizza is the best one on the menu, a perfect balance of spicy and sweet. The blood orange sorbet was a nice ending, very tasty and refreshing. Our server, John H, was great, very attentive and gave us good suggestions for wine - highly recommend this restaurant

All of our food was excellent--my husband and I had reservations for a late dinner to celebrate an anniversary. We were both very hungry and ordered the olives, arancini (with butternut squash), pappardelle with duck, gnocchi, and a calabrese pizza to share. All the food was excellent. The wines (we drank red by the glass) were also very good. Our server was wonderful. We had a great night!

The good is always so good at Barbuzo. We tried some new things and they were definitely up to the standard that was set years ago. Can't recommend Barbuzo enough.

The food was excellent. We shared the whipped ricotta which was served with a generous amount of grilled bread. I had the squid ink tonarelli which was delicious. My husband had the seared gnocchi which was also very tasty. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We’d definitely return here.

Fresh and tasty sharing plates and unique cocktails. The pizza with San Marzano tomatoes was great. Salted caramel budino is always an outstanding finish.

Seated in bench seating supposedly for 5 people that should only be for 4 (in addition had to find space for our coats). No heat in the restaurant and was seated by door, uncomfortably cold the majority of the time. Food and service was good per usual. I would’ve expected being notified of such an issue with the restaurant of this caliber, leaving us effectively no alternative options. This was our worst experience with the restaurant and will certainly affect our willingness to return.

Great food, nice wine selections, well made espresso martini, and well executed food. Super loud inside and tables packed like sardines but the quality is worth the noise
