It's a smaller scale restaurant compared to some others, but it's quality. It may not be as good as some of the top Steven Starr restaurants but it's certainly not far behind.
Surprisingly, one of their best offers is the hole sweet corn Arancini, must try.
The Spanish octopus isn't bad but I've had a slightly better version at Estia Taverna.
In terms of dessert, it's gotta be the Budino, no question.
Their service is very quick! I was impressed considering it was a busy night.

If your in the mood for a Mediterranean inspired then make sure to stop in to Barbuzzo. This small intimate dining experience is perfect for a solo meal, a date for two, or a night out with friends. The kitchen is right behind the bar so you get to watch them cook your meal. The service was out of this world and the food even better. The wood fired pizza is perfectly balanced with flavor and is big enough for two people to enjoy. I must recommend the whipped Ricotta as an appetizer. We walked in for a late dinner with a party of 4 and no reservation but you can always call ahead if you know a date and time.
Very impressed with the service and quality of food! Our server was lovely and very accommodating to us. It was our friend’s birthday and for our dessert she surprised us with a candle. We got 1 caramel dessert, 2 pastas, 1 pizza & 1 bread appetizer. No longer living in Philly but definitely will come back and visit when I’m in town
We were driving down from NJ, called ahead to make a reservation. On our drive we got caught in a monsoon, delaying our arrival time. They were pleasant enough to hold our reservation and got seated right away. The food is phenomenal and came out relatively fast. But the star of the night was Stephanie. She was such a great server, felt so welcomed and had a great attitude about the food but also on life. Great service with a wonderful personality. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back anytime I’m in Philly. The tiramisu is top 2 I’ve ever had.
Visited on Sunday for Brunch. Food was very tasty and good proportion.
We had ordered Shakshuka and Cardamom and mascarpone cheese stuffed french toast with stone fruit preserves and blueberries thyme syrup.
Everything was made fresh.

Bubbly conversation fills the air. Reservation for table was pleasantly on time. The waiter recommended Tonight’s Special Lamb Ribs - Plum Agro dolce, Moroccan couscous, purple basil, cherry tomato, ramp-tarragon vinaigrette - and so I ordered that.
Make sure you get a reservation because this place is popular, and for good reason.
The service was excellent; the waiter was attentive and offered good drink recommendations. The old fashioned and Negroni were delicious.
Tried the Calabrese pizza but the Funghi was amazing. Perfect combination of cheeses and extremely fresh mushrooms. Cooked to perfection
The highly recommended salted caramel budino lived up to the hype. Homemade whipped cream with multiple decadent levels below that.
Highly recommend

This place is fantastic! I haven’t felt this satisfied when eating out in a very long time. Portion size is just right, and the prices follow the trend. Food is extremely well seasoned and flavorful and came out super fast - we had the butternut squash arancini, house ground meatballs, and the creste rigate. We walked in just after 5 pm on a busy Saturday, without reservation, and they took us anyway, but let us know they would need the table back by 630 pm, which was not an issue at all. Our server was very helpful and friendly. The place can feel a bit cozy with how close the tables are from each other, but I didn’t mind it so much and it would definitely not be a deterrent for me to come back. Recommend 10/10.
