   The lamb lollypops and shrimp and oysters are all fantastically good! I highly recommend it!

   The ambiance was nice, but the food was just average and the portions were small.

   The food was good. I had the osso buca which was melt in your mouth. My husband had the bolognese dish. I think the bolognese dish needs a more substantial sized pasta to hold up to the sauce. The flavor was great. We were seated near the bar which is very crowded and noisy. They also played music that was loud and too much base which makes everyone talk louder and the place too loud.

   Flori de zucca was excellent! The espresso martini was perfect. Our server was great. My only complaint is the hostess let us stand there for a couple of minutes without acknowledging us. There was no eye contact and I hate for that to be the first impression. I will return for the great food.

   Excellent food, outstanding service. Inside is very noisy, more suitable for groups. Next time we will sit outside.

   Lively ambiance, great food. The dry martini we ordered was not very dry , bu good. Service lovely. A place where you can interact with the table on your side. Lots of young people.

    We found Barbusa online and we’re so impressed with every detail of the night. Our server Marcelo was phenomenal! We got the prosciutto and burrata appetizer and it was unreal! Go. Go now and experience this gem on India!

    Barbusa is always amazing!! The food and servers are top notch. Celebrated my birthday and they always make it special. Only down fall is we had to wait 45 min for our table even with a reservation. But overall worth it!

    Food 9/10. Service 7/10. Only complaint was that the music was far too loud to have a normal conversation.

    It was my first time here and everything was incredible. The food, service and ambiance was amazing. Our server was so attentive but also came at the perfect times to check in on us. Her recommendations were always the way to go. The food itself was so fresh and presentation was great. Everything we had (prosciutto and burrata, garlic bread, braised short rib and king crab pasta) was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly but it left you feeling good but not bloated after. Quality food, great service and the restaurant itself had the best ambiance. Hands down the best Italian spot in San Diego.

    I wanted a quiet, authentic Italian restaurant with a good house Chianti. What I got was a noisy sports bar with booming music, Americanized pasta, and an overpriced wine list. The cannoli chips tasted like they’d been fried in old oil. Very disappointed. The other restaurants in this group are great.

    I've loved this place for years and have always recommended it to Airbnb guests, but this was a bad experience. I arrived early and was asked to wait at the bar for the table which was fine. I didn't expect to be there long so I just asked for a glass of water and the bartender seemed inconvenienced by that. The table was ready by the time my friend arrived and we were seated in front by the window. The server first greeted us by asking if we were ready to order and I told him we didn't have menus. He said we had to use a QR code, which should be somewhere on the table under the tablecloth. even he couldn't find one so he told us to just go to the restaurant website. To be honest, I'm over this in finer dining establishments...part of the experience of going out to dinner should afford the option of having a break from the phone that I've been on for work all day...is a tangible menu too much to ask? Our food was delivered seemingly within 200 seconds of us placing our order...so fast...however mine tasted like it had been sitting waiting for awhile and/or microwaved just before serving. I had the pollo arrosto and the chicken was hot on the outside, but barely lukewarm in the center (though fully cooked), and the carrots were soggy and drenched in the sauce, to the point it was hard to identify which end of each was the one with greens still attached. My friend's pasta looked like an overcooked bowl of mush, but he said the sauce was good. The place was much louder than I've ever experienced, and I'd say this was the worst part of the experience. The music itself was almost painfully loud making it difficult to have any kind of conversation. On top of that, there were 6 young women at a table next to us who were literally shouting...and I really couldn't blame them for that because it was the only way they could be heard by everyone at their larger table. I asked the server if the music could be turned down and he said no. I'm done recommending this place.

    Everything was scrumptious. I had reservations for b day party we had a beautiful table for 6. Kids and adults loved it. Starting with garlic bread calamari, pizza carbonara and funghi pasta. Mario was sour server he was on point with beverage recommendations and very funny. We had a great time.

    We’ve only been to this restaurant one time before, but we absolutely loved it! They were five of us, and we got to sit at the roundtable, which was perfect. There was a special menu because of the holiday and I’m a bit picky… So I ended up with just a chop salad and shrimp cocktail but everybody else ordered a little bit of everything and said it was delish!

    The gnocchi, zucchini blossoms, and pizza dolce and piccante were all absolute perfection! Our kudos to the kitchen! Our waitress, Jenna, was so very sweet, but also extremely inefficient. She came to our table a total of 4 times to apologize for the poor service 😣 The decor is at Barbusa is very attractive, but the loud booming music makes it almost impossible to have a conversation. Overall, food was a big hit…service & ambience, not so impressive.
