Elyse EstradaOctober 17, 2014The perfect pre-theater dinner when you have your parents in town! NYC's oldest Italian restaurant is quiet, staff is attentive and the 79 year old bartender makes a helluva martini. Ambiance is ++
New York PostApril 23, 2015The oldest eatery on Restaurant Row, this Theater District staple was once a popular hangout for John Lennon, Andy Warhol and Dudley Moore. It was even featured in an episode of "Mad Men." Read more
TaniaJuly 26, 2023I am surprised the rating is so low…. Loved the place, the food, the staff is great! It’s like a hidden gem)
Stribling & AssociatesFebruary 16, 2012Opened in 1906, Barbetta is NYC’s oldest restaurant still owned by the founding family, the oldest Italian restaurant, and the oldest Theatre District restaurant. A historic restaurant trifecta!
Harumi USeptember 12, 2014Beautiful restaurant with food to match. It is very much family business and staff are like family too.
Buford BarnesFebruary 29, 2012Established 1906, continuously family owned, features food of Piemonte, Italy's northwestern-most region. Redecorated in 1962 with imported 18th century Piemontese antiques, some owned by the Savoys.
ChristinaDecember 30, 2014The outdoor courtyard is very pretty. If it's good enough for Don Draper, it's good enough for me. #madmen
Gigi AlshJuly 25, 2014A little getaway from the city! Lovely garden with super friendly staff and amazing home made like food!
Matteo P.February 6, 2022Hard pass. Service is unimpressive, food even less so (despite my bias, as I’m from the same region). Nice location, if you like the vibes.- xin jinJune 9, 2012Lovable, lovable garden, fabulous food, and great people. Vivid vibe but private and quiet. Magnificent.
Laura FroelichNovember 25, 2018Upon arrival we were told we could only order from the Pre-Theater menu. A La Carte menu isn’t available until 8pm. Apps terribly seasoned; pastas bland. (I usually never add s&p but had to tonight.)
Sean PitmanOctober 12, 2010Amazing food. Worth the price of admission. Even the low-end wines are delicious. Perfect for dinner before a Broadway show.
Wilson ZhouOctober 26, 201510% discount on total bill excluding tax & gratuity for NYPhil subscribers; not valid Saturday nights
pezikeMarch 7, 2015Nice food, beyond pretentious setting but efficient staff. Colonial not in a good way.- Wilson ZhouOctober 21, 20152015-2016 Carnegie Hall Concert Season, 15% off food and beverages for members.
Great place for food and drink before seeing @woolfonbroadway
Alexandra KaufmanJune 24, 2012Made us wait for 40mins to get our table and no one was there. They were having a 'meeting' and made us wait until they are done. We probably won't go again.
Kirsten TMay 22, 2011The atmosphere is incredible. Avoid the fixed menu if possible - the food wasn't worth the cost.
Tom DeierleinApril 1, 2010Great outdoor courtyard. This is 104 years old. Quick service perfect for theater dinner. In and out inside an hour. First class. Ask for Elvis.
Woody AllenOctober 2, 2012Il migliore ristorante italiano di New York, scelto più volte anche dal cinema. Scorsese ha girato qui The Departed e Woody Allen una scena di Alice. Read more

"A new, genuine, beautiful musical. It wouldn't matter if Idina Menzel, Anthony Rapp and LaChanze were in it, the show would be really good. But with them it's fantastic."
