   Awful. I booked this reservation days ahead and stated in my reservation request that I was in a wheelchair. They approved the reservation. I’m from out of town. When we got to the restaurant I couldn’t get inside the building. My wife went inside to ask hoping they had an accessible entrance and the person inside just said no and didn’t care we booked the reservation clearly stating I use a wheelchair.

   We went here for a pre theater meal. My husband had the salmon with cucumber sauce and I had the crab. Both were excellent. The fixed price theater menu includes an appetizer, salad, entree and dessert.

    Barbetta is one of our favorites for a pre- or post-theater meal in the Theater District. Seating in the courtyard is a seasonal treat, of course - but the upstairs rooms and the main dining area all have their charms as well. The menu is reliably delicious and the service is quick when needed and unobtrusive when it’s not.

    The food was inedible! They serve bad wedding food for $70 per plate not including drinks. Never subject yourself to this experience!! I don’t know how they have stayed open.

    I went to Italy 30 years ago and it felt like I was back. Everything was delicious. Food was perfect and friendly staff. I would like to come again. The pasta was fresh and delicious. We tried the rabbit and I would highly recommend this dish.

    This is a very elegant restaurant. We sat outside in their patio which was quite charming. The service was superb . We all had the pre-theater prix fixe dinner, one salmon, one swordfish, one chicken, with mozzarella di bufalo—-all excellent. We all loved it!

    We had a wonderful dinner last evening. The food was superb with gnocchi which were airy and delicious and terrific rabbit. The wine list is extraordinary and well priced. The service was gracious. This is an old New York restaurant which people often forget about. This is a huge mistake. It is in the theatre district and open both before and after the theatre. Make a reservation!!! You will not regret it.

    Three arrived or a birthday dinner (no theater). Excited to be at the oldest family run restaurant in NYC with many firsts. Upon arrival, they only had a pre theater menu. When we asked for ala carte menu, they said you can make any entre ala carte. Charged $32 for a small plate of garganelli with red sauce which was so bitter (burned garlic and basil) it was inedible. When we addressed it, the response was "everyone else likes it." They were kind enough to take off our bill. My beef dish looked like shredded beef pressed into a mold, with gravy on top. Flavorless but for the sauce. The polenta was the consistency of wallpaper paste and had a hard glaze over the top that was difficult to cut through with a fork. The hash brown was in the shape of a Christmas tree (in April?) and was deep fried so long it was hard throughout; couldn't cut it. The service was quick...due to the fact that they wanted to turn the table. Ambiance was ok, but dated and thread-bare. Patio looked lovely, but would not make up for the food quality. The rolls and the wine were good. Overall, it was like a wedding factory and I was thoroughly disappointed ( "meat/fish/pasta....dessert" ....drop check......"NEXT!") Perhaps my expectations were too high for a theater restaurant?

    One for the history books. Barbetta charms as it provides a unique look-back at days of NYC past. We enjoyed the beautiful period decor and lovely garden, the formal but friendly and attentive service, and the interesting and varied Piedmontese receipes selected from its 120 years in operation. Quiet and relaxed, we enjoyed well prepared and standard dishes such as a delicious melon with proscuitto, venison with apple and pear, pasta with pesto and chocolate budino. The divers scallops were excellent but a potato cover clashed with the bok choy centerpiece. Somewhat convenient to the theater district.

    Several years since last dining—-greatly disappointed in food quality Garden Ambience great Suggest reduce number of entrees to concentrate of serving best quality for a fewer number of entrees My wife had the steak—-overcooked and over seasoned! I had the rabbit that was tasteless ! Super Tuscan Wine suggested was low quality—-sommelier not on site! We would not return and would not recommend

    The restaurant was beautiful, but the food was sub-par for the price. And they overcharged us by $200 and then tried to tell me I was mistaken and the price was correct. After a few back and forths they relented and gave us the correct bill. Wouldn't go back.

    Classic Italian in ambience, staff, menu and food. Because it is not nouveau Italian (to mix languages), you will find pre-theater seats here last minute but won't be disappointed.

    I gave my college-aged son a trip to NYC for Christmas, and wanted one evening of a special restaurant. Through a search on OpenTable, I found Barbetta. Formal? Yes, but not stuffy. Service was very attentive- perfect, in fact. And the food was... well, let's just say I had one of the best meals of my life there. I'm looking over the ridge at 60, so that's saying something. I am a foodie who dines out a lot. It was... perfect. I cannot wait to come again.

    What an amazing birthday experience! Barbetta is exactly what you need if you want to experience fine dining in a historic NYC restaurant. We sat by the windows facing out towards the dinner room so we were able to enjoy the ambiance. The wait staff was very attentive and great excellent dish suggestions. The food was delicious and just the right portion size. Even though we ordered desserts the wait staff still sent over a slice of birthday cake and good wishes. We will definitely come back.
