   I had the best time! The waitress was amazing. It was her birthday as well as my dad's. She made the whole experience so fun. The food was delicious. The men got alcohol and wine and the bill was such a fair price.

   The food and service was outstanding! Great location and ambience. I had the Sicilian Ribeye and it was delicious. It came with fries and the portions were huge. It’s a loud and happening place but fun. The prices of the food was surprising too, very affordable, especially for the portions you get. I highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely be back.

   Good food and service. Parking a little difficult to manage.

   We arrived a few minutes earlier than our reservation. Then we were told there was only seating outside available. We requested a heater for our table outside table. The hostess seated us at an outside table with a heater that was not turned on. When we asked if she could turn it on, she left, and so did we. Horrible front-end service.

   Brand new to the city was recommended to have dinner here. Absolutely packed with reservations. I had one but decided to sit at the bar and eat. It was wonderful. Highly recommended.

   Beautiful restaurant in the heart of Little Italy, we were seated promptly and although music was a loud, the setting is very inviting and comfortable. The appetizers are delicious - we had calamari fritti, bone marrow, and burrata caprese. Next time, we want to try the garlic bread. All of the entrees were tried were tasty and the portions were generous. There is valet parking in the adjacent lot for diners of Barbusa and a couple other establishments.
