Barbatella

Have a seat in the European-style courtyard or make new friends at the communal table inside. Known for its authentic Italian wood-fired pizza and gelato, it equally excels at a select menu of pasta, seafood, meats and sandwiches. On the lunch menu, pizzettes, or small pizzas, come in six varieties. There are no ordinary sandwiches; take the bourbon-roasted chicken salad or Neapolitan grilled cheese with smoked mozzarella, pancetta, and roasted tomatoes, for instance. On the dinner menu, grilled eggplant, heirloom tomatoes, pork sausage and buffalo mozzarella top the signature pizza. It offers cheese and charcuterie samplings including four types of mozzarella. Seafood lovers go for the Ligurian seafood platter: langostino, shrimp, calamari, mussels and linguine in light tomato brodo.
