**For parties of 15 or more, kindly call our Events ManagerRobert Miguel at (415) 307-5609 or email robertm@barbayanitaverna.com.** Hospitality in ancient Greece is a timeless tradition deeply woven into the fabric of its culture. In the Mediterranean, a region historically known as a melting pot of diverse cultures and cuisines, this spirit of hospitality was not only a virtue but a sacred duty. From the early times of city-states to the present day, the people of Greece have welcomed weary travelers as if they were guests from the gods themselves. This tradition is a testament to the enduring values of generosity, kindness, and warmth that have characterized Greek society for millennia. Whether it’s a simple offering of food and shelter or the sharing of stories and experiences, the essence of Greek hospitality remains as vibrant and essential today as it was in the days of Homer’s epic tales.

Dinner with whole family was wonderful. We ordered the tasting menu and a couple of other dishes and our service was stellar, the food great. Loved the pork chop and the branzino amazing - we kind of ordered too much but finished it all! Wonderful time. thank you!

Our first visit here. The menu is extensive. Dishes we tried very good, seabass with a flavor rich vegetable stew, dayboat scallops with a mushroom risotto. Presentation of the food was gorgeous, including fresh flowers on the plates (orchids this time)!. The interior is beautiful with dramatic light-scaping, tall ceilings, pops of color, yet serene. Table service was attentive. We had a lovely evening and will return.

The food is good, the service is good. There was almost no one there for lunch. The prices seem very high which could explain the drop off of guests at lunch from days gone by.
