Barbuto 113 Horatio Street, Manhattan, New York,

"i’ve only got a blurry photo of my dinner but this place is a solid institution for eating and it’s always gonna hit on all notes. i recall the salsa verde being a bit looser and more robust in herb flavor, but the scallops compensated for anything i may had been missing. the salads were absolutely stellar. our server was also super nice and kept the energy up through the whole dinner. the cookies that finished were as good as mom/ nonna made. great date night."

"I had a fantastic experience enjoying delicious pasta recently. The food was exquisite, and the menu had a great wine selection. However, the only downside was that people were in a hurry, making the dinner feel rushed. After the entre, the waiter took the plates, and we still needed to finish. We had made a reservation for 9 PM, but I wonder why they take reservations at nine if they make you feel like you need to rush through your meal. Despite this, I highly recommend this restaurant because of the exquisite food and lovely atmosphere."

"I came here on a Wednesday evening with two friends one of whom was coming from Long Island and I advocated for doing something outside of midtown in a neighborhood with better food. Well we may as well have stayed in midtown because this place was a waste of time and money. The food tasted like nothing, including the gnocchi which was labeled as a "signature dish". The service was good, but nothing more than what I would expect for a restaurant of this price point. They ran out of the special, off menu side item and they gave us another option on the house. We got the potatoes which didn't go off the theme of tasting like nothing. The atmosphere is fine. I would not recommend and I wouldn't go back."

"Not a lot of options for vegetarians, and the ones we did get (pizza, gnocchi, mixed greens) were all just fine - not sure we'll return. Seemed like a popular spot for business dinners. Not sure if it was just the night we went (a weekday), but service seemed quite slammed and it took a while to get orders in - servers were all very kind, though!"

"I had dinner at the bar, and it was just what i was craving! The bolognese was delicious, and I really enjoyed the gin cocktail on the menu. The chocolate hazelnut cake was nice and light, perfectly capping off my meal. Special thanks to Gipsy at the bar for her excellent service, I really appreciated it! Thanks for the great evening :)"
