Excellent food.
We went as 4 and got:
Cannellini Beans Salad
Rigatoni all Norma
Homemade Pappardelle
Homemade Potato Gnocchi White Veal Ragù
Lamb Meatballs
Zucchine Al Gratin
Everything there was great. What stuck out the most and you should get is the Rigatoni all Norma and Lamb Meatballs. The pasta was cooked perfectly and had an amazing chew. The red sauce was to die for, so bright, and (hopefully not artificially) sweet. Coming from Philly and Lancaster, this just blows any Italian joint out of the water, the menu was so deep with amazing dishes we wanted to try.
The cocktails and beverage list was also great. One of the best negroni's I've had.
Service was pretty good, server knew most of the stuff going on, but wasn't very confident in that.
Atmosphere for us was quite terrible only because a couple decided to have their loud and annoying child be loud and annoying in a fairly confined space. I'm not taking points off for that though.
Place is a little pricey, but it's NYC.
Barbalu offers great dishes served impressively fast. I’ve tried many of their saucy pasta plates and Italian wines, and I’ve loved every single one. The service — as you can tell — is quick, and the place is almost always packed.
I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time to secure a good spot and enjoy the experience without the wait!
Place was packed. But for not having a reservation, we didn’t have to wait long to be seated. Very cool spot, a little loud but enjoyable atmosphere with decent music. The services after sitting, was fast and the food came quickly as well. I ordered the sausage and peppers personal pizza. Pizza was good for what it was ordered and old fashion as well and that was so so. It was more sweet than I’d like and very light on the alcohol.
Definitely the best pizza I had in NY and not.
Impressive how the pizza is light but extremely good, same the pasta.
From focaccia with olives to start, to margherita pizza and pasta with seafood to the tiramisu and caprese: vote 100/10
Edward was our server and it was simply amazing.
We will be back very soon! Grazie mille
This place became an instant classic for us! The food is always spectacular and consistent, the branzino and mushroom pizza are definite standouts. The staff are kind and personable, and the atmosphere has a great energy. It can get a bit loud on busy nights, but I’ve the food is worth it. I come here regularly with a friend, and we can always count on a quality meal ^^
