Barbuzzo

Made a reservation in advance for Friday night dinner at 5:45pm. Loved the octopus salad! The food is super fresh and well seasoned. Service was only ok for our table - admittedly we weren’t too hungry and didn’t order too much. Decent experience but will try another restaurant next time

The restaurant is a mix of Mediterranean and Italian styled cuisine and the food did not disappoint. The bread with the whipped ricotta had the perfect crunch. I would highly recommend ordering a pizza for the table. Between 4 people each pizza gave us 1 slice. The lamb stuffed grape leaves were a great surprise, very flavorful and soft.

We had a great time at Barbuzzo. The butternut squash arancini was crispy and delicious, served with a perfectly balanced sauce. The pan-seared gnocchi was also amazing, as well as the Pera pizza. They have a good selection of local beers, all served at the proper temperature and with appropriate glassware. Our waitress, Gina, was very attentive and friendly. The only downside was that dishes are brought out as soon as they are ready, which isn’t ideal for couples or larger groups who prefer to enjoy the meal together.

Expected a similar positive experience based on the reviews, but left disappointed. I asked for wine recommendations and the waitress said she hadn’t tried most of the white wines yet. Very laid back, inattentive attitude and not knowledgeable on basic questions like which wines were dry vs sweet. Most places would either confirm with other staff and/or offer a sample if unsure. The margarita pizza was fine, nothing spectacular. The space also felt more casual than expected and although they may be going for an intentionally rustic look, the tabletops looked too worn down. Also everything was hard seating except for the barstools that had no backs, so definitely not somewhere comfortable to stay awhile. There are definitely better spots in Philly to try first.

*Ricotta and potatoes. Obviously beer/wine. Went for happy hour for 2 at the bar. Good wine and tasty/soft ricotta with bread. The burger was nothing special. Nice crispy potatoes. Pleasant bartenders. Happy hour used to be better unfortunately.
