    The food was inventive, delicious and served at the perfect temperature. The service was attentive without ever being intrusive. The décor was based on well-aged natural materials but the room felt young. Crowd was diverse. We really enjoyed our meal at Barbuzzo!

    Nice Saturday brunch with a visiting friend from out of town. I loved the steak and eggs! Pleased that I could get a table on Saturday at noon only a couple of hours before.

    Stood at the front for 10 minutes waiting for the hostess to show up. We had a reservation. Once seated our waitress insisted we order everything at once so she could “pace our meal”. We ordered 4 dishes. Three of them arrived within 5 minutes. I made a comment about it to another server who brought the 3rd dish. At that point a manager and then our waitress came over to discuss it. They asked if we wanted to move to a larger table so we’d have more space for all of our food. I clarified it wasn’t more space we needed but more TIME to enjoy our first couple dishes rather than all of it at once. At some point after that our waitress disappeared and was replaced by a much friendlier waitress. Food was good, not amazing. Don’t care for any place that insists on us ordering everything at once and then tries to rush us through our dinner.

    One of our favorite spots - great Mediterranean food & a beautiful setting in a vibrant part of Philadelphia. Great for dates or even just a drink & some of their great pizza, pasta or their famous dessert, the budino.

    Excellent food and great service. We were seated next to a very loud foursome which caused us to hurry out early. My husband lived the octopus. The pasta was very tasty..

    The food was great but we received 3/4 of our entrees at once and then it took over 30 minutes for the forth entree to arrive. I told the manager that this wasn’t right as all of our food was cold by the time the forth entree arrived and he said basically told me that’s how they operate and to eat when you get the food. I won’t be back at this restaurant for a very long time. I’m very disappointed as I really liked barbuzzo until tonight. Our server was very nice and apologetic but the manager wasn’t great to us. We’re a customer paying a lot of money and I felt under appreciated. The service is no reflection on our server.

    Lovely dinner with friends - fun cocktails to start and then shared Calabrese pizza (has a nice kick), whipped ricotta, roasted beet salad, house ground meatballs, spinach rigate and bronzino - everything was tasty, fresh and well prepared. Staff very friendly and ambience inside is energetic and hip.

    Overall, food was good. The octopus was almost room temperature, didn't feel freshly grilled. The waiter gave us some explanation, but that wasn't it. The flavor was good. Everything else was great. And the server, Ethan, did a great job even though it was a busy night.
