"At Jonathan Waxman’s decades-old institution I sampled the Barbuto kale salad, a favorite of Howard’s and the first dish they made in the Dame space before they had a full kitchen: breadcrumbs are toasted with olive oil, drained and seasoned, Szymanski whips a basil-garlic-parmesan-anchovy dressing, then thinly slices and massages the kale into the umami-rich dressing — he calls Waxman’s version “the gold standard” — and Howard says she can’t wait to introduce her daughter to the original salad." - Emily Venezky

"Barbuto, a West Village Italian restaurant famous for its roast chicken with salsa verde, has a second location in the 1 Hotel in Dumbo. They also recently opened Bar Tizio, a wine bar in the West Village. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Will Hartman
"Opened in 2004 and built its reputation on a breezy Californian Italian menu—centered on items such as the famous roast chicken with salsa verde, a garlicky kale salad, and pastas like gnocchi. The restaurant closed in 2019 because the building’s new owners didn’t want a restaurant, but Waxman was determined to relocate: it reopened in a new West Village address in 2020 (briefly), paused for the pandemic, and fully reopened in 2021. Waxman, who is from California and worked under Alice Waters in the 1970s, consistently draws on that California influence." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Barbuto reopened on Wednesday, October 13th. The longstanding West Village restaurant moved into a new space on Horatio Street right before lockdown in spring 2020 (and has been closed since). Yes, the famous chicken with salsa verde is still on the menu, along with a couple pastas, roast vegetables, and other shareable Italian-leaning snacks. Reservations are available online, but so far there’s limited availability." - hannah albertine
