I recently visited Buzo Osteria Italiana in Bridgetown, and I can confidently say that this restaurant lives up to its new title as Restaurant of the Year in the Caribbean! From the moment I stepped in, I was struck by the warm, elegant ambiance — an inspired fusion of Italian old-world charm and Caribbean vibrancy. The open-kitchen layout added a theatrical touch: watching fresh pasta being rolled, mozzarella stretched by hand, and pizzas pulled from the wood-fired oven felt like being part of a culinary performance. Every dish was a masterpiece. The polentina cotta al forno con gorgonzola e miele al tartufo was divine — a perfect balance of creaminess, earthiness, and sweet truffle notes. The Gamberoni alla Diavola showcased the best of local fresh seafood combined with bold Mediterranean flavors, and the Ligurian meatballs—which carry a secret blend of meats—were tender, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Service was impeccable. The staff were knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and clearly passionate about each dish. They guided me through wine pairings, explained menu details, and made me feel genuinely welcomed. It’s no surprise that Buzo has now been ranked #1 in the Caribbean and placed #41 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. They’ve seamlessly married authentic Italian technique with Caribbean soul, and the result is world-class dining right here in Barbados. If you’re in Barbados and want an unforgettable culinary experience, Buzo Osteria Italiana is a must. Bravo to the entire team — I can’t wait to return!

Italian restaurant inside the Marriott courtyard , with very knowledgeable staff and good gluten free options . We had the fungi that was delicious, a good shrimp and white sauce and a very tasty flourless soufflé as desert. A bit more pricier than restaurants around it , but definitely a good option for celiacs

The location was easy to get to, open and the hostess was very welcoming. Our server, though he stated he was new and hasn’t tried much of the menu, was still able to give some good recommendations. We started with the tuna tartare which was great, and the mushroom risotto, which was slightly undercooked. The flavor was there however, it wasn’t even cooked through. Onto our mains which were beautifully cooked and made us forget about the risotto almost immediately. The lamb was beautifully cooked and tender and the mint sauce was luscious, and extremely flavorful! My husband had the roasted half chicken which was falling off the bone and incredibly easy to eat. He isn’t a dark meat man but started with the thigh and leg and said it was cooked to perfection. We also got the lasagna which was flavorful and cooked so well. It had the crispy edges that I love and a soft tender inside that was overcooked. We ended with the chocolate soufflé and cheesecake and both desserts were beautiful!!! The soufflé came with a berry sauce and ice cream which were so perfectly because it was so decadent and the cheesecake had a great crust and was super creamy but also light! Our meal was beautiful and our server was great! Beautiful location and very spacious!

Summary: outstanding food, upscale and pricey Food: fried app trio was okay…Lacked flavor. The mahi mahi on zoodles/chickpeas special was outstanding. The specialty side salad was great too. Dessert was fantastic but overpriced. Delicious treat, yes, but $16 for a slice of cheesecake? Yea, absolutely not worth it. Feedback to the GM: your food is very good — fresh and flavorful— but your prices are a tad high, coming from an American. Even by fancy American restaurant standards, your prices are quite high. Delicious, but I don’t know that I will return purely based on cost factor alone.

Typically, Italian taverns offer generous, traditional dishes at affordable prices. This place comes very close to all of this, but offers a service that's far removed from your typical trattoria. It's very attentive and welcoming! Given the prices, I obviously don't expect anything different from what I paid. It's well-deserved! I had a cutlet, lasagna, and dessert. The only flaw is that the desserts contain alcohol, which isn't mentioned on the menu. I think that's a serious flaw! It's nothing serious, though, as the staff, after I'd reported it, gave me an alcohol-free option, which was still very welcome. I'll definitely be back.
