• wedding reception

  We hosted our wedding dinner reception at Barbuto BK, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel so cared for — everything ran seamlessly. The food was incredible (our guests are still talking about it!), the drinks were a hit, and the space was just beautiful for such an intimate celebration. Every detail felt thoughtful and effortless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — thank you, Barbuto, for making our wedding night so unforgettable!

• semi private dinner, party of 16

  We hosted a 16 person semi private dinner here and the food was fantastic, good portions for everyone family style. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating to everyone. Also the pistachio cake was amazing.

• holiday work dinner, party of 9

  Shame on the management. I was here tonight and had one of the most despicable things that can have accrue during a work dinner. The manager, Phil, was aggressively kicking out tables with minutes of a “warning” after the check was paid. He accosted my co-workers, 9 women, and was absolutely vile to the woman who spent thousands to take her team out for the holidays. It really was a horrible way to end the night and something the owners should look into. It clearly was his inability to MANAGE expectations and MANAGE the restaurant…his job as manager. We understand the service industry is difficult but there is a professional and decent way to navigate these things, something Phil does not seem to possess.

• group brunch, party of 7

  This meal was probably the most expensive brunch I've ever had, but it was fantastic. We had a party of seven so they charged us per head and just made us food without us ordering. All of it was fantastic, and the food just kept coming. Really a crazy experience as I was full by the large array of appetizers but then it just kept coming.
