"Barbuzzo makes some of our favorite pasta, pizza and Mediterranean small plates in the city. Yes, it’s good for a date night or dinner with friends, but the narrow 13th Street space is actually more comfortable (and easier to get into) when dining alone at the first-come, first-serve chef’s counter. There’s not a bad dish to be had here–we like the Asparago pizza, grilled octopus, or pan seared gnocchi. But whatever you start with, though, you absolutely must end with the salted caramel budino.
