"Barbuzzo is one of those rare places that manages to please just about anyone, and although it brands itself as largely Mediterranean, the kitchen here makes some excellent pizza, pasta, and Italian small plates. You’ll probably need to make a reservation, but the bar and chef’s counter are first come, first serve. Start with a few negronis, order a pizza, a few small plates to share (the grilled octopus is a must), and make sure to split the salted caramel budino for dessert." - Candis Mclean
