About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Romantic

Celebrating its 118th Year, Barbetta is the oldest restaurant in New York still owned by its founding family. Barbetta is also New York's oldest Italian restaurant and the oldest restaurant in the Theater District. This three-fold distinction has earned it landmark status by the Locali Storici d'Italia. In a glittering interior decorated with 18th century Italian antiques Barbetta serves the cuisine of Piemonte, Italy's northwestern most region. In summer, its exuberantly verdant garden with century-old trees and scented with the blooms of wisteria, oleander, jasmine and gardenia make it a most sought-after site for al fresco dining.

Excellent food and very personable attention to the table Eduardo and Temo were fantastic. It was like eating at home. Great food for the price and everything was delicious and fresh No wonder this is a NY gem that has stayed true to its oldest restaurant tradition and maintains it over the years.

I took my 7 year old niece before a show. The wait staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. They made her feel like a princess. The pre fixe lunch was a great value. Very enjoyable lunch in the garden.

It was so fantastic. This was our first time to this wonderful, beautiful restaurant. The service was above and beyond. It was so nice to sit outside in the gardens on a warm nice. We had the pre-fixe theater menu and everything was so delicious and reasonable. It was my birthday and they gave me another dessert with a candle in it to blow out. We cannot stop bragging about this restaurant. I would highly recommend it.
