read moreNew York City's Barbetta restaurant offers a mix of reviews by customers who have visited the historical establishment. While some guests praised the high society vibe of the restaurant, live music, and exceptional service from staff like Eduardo, others were critical of the food quality and understanding of dietary restrictions. The establishment's ambiance was often noted as a highlight, with a beautiful courtyard for summer dining and stories about the restaurant's history shared by Eduardo.
