    Barbaresco is a consistently good restaurant that delivers quality food. My family was here many years ago and we all remember how much we enjoyed our food and the atmosphere. We went back to check it out and see if it was as good as we remember. It was a special experience. I set our reservation for 1:30 pm and it was perfect timing. The restaurant was empty and it was pretty quiet. As our meal went on, we saw many people come in and have a meal. I had the ravioli special and it taste like I was back in Italy.

    I opted for the osso buco special with saffron risotto, and it was delicious! Its price was very high, most I’ve ever paid for an entree, but I didn’t know that ahead of time so enjoyed every bite! We love this place and dine here multiple times on every trip to NYC. The veal piccata and the pansotti with walnut sauce are also excellent as is their Caesar salad.

    Really lovely in a neighborhoody way. Hard to decipher the specials through the charmingly authentic Italian accent of our waiter, but great choices to be found on the menu.

    Even on an extremely busy Friday night, Barbaresco delivered!! A warm welcome (we are regulars when in town) and friendly service. Their Caesar salad is always excellent and the veal piccata a longtime favorite. And my spouse is a fan of their saltimbocca and the chicken with mushrooms in a Gorgonzola cream sauce.

    Barbaresco never fails to deliver a delicious meal and gracious service. One of the few places left in Manhattan where you can reliably get a delicious meal at a reasonable price. My dining companions who had not eaten there before were equally impressed and happy to have a new place to go to for delicious Italian cuisine in a comfortable, relaxed setting.

    Solid Italian fare in East 60s. First courses were better than mains and noise level high in small dining room.

    Great neighborhood spot for casual Italian. Gets very loud when full. Service is frequently rushed but the food always delivers.

    Is Italian neighborhood gem, service is incredible, food ir really good, has a little bar at the entrance. Ambiance is charming, romantic. We were with some friends and we had fegato a la veneciana, swordfish, orata, branzino, tomato and onion salad, some vegetables, all were really good. Good wine list. Love it.
