Food and vibe at Barbuto are great. It can be difficult to get a reservation, but you can usually get lucky walking in on the early side and sitting at the bar. Pro tip: they answer their phone and can tell you how long the wait will be.

Order:

• Polpettone - the meatballs are truly incredible.

• Insalata di Cavolo - maybe the best kale salad I’ve had?

• Insalata di Calamari

• Hannah Pizza

• Sausage Pizza (not always on the menu).

• JW Gnocchi

• Off-the-menu Carbonara - best pasta they have.

• JW Pollo al Forno - what they are known for. Must get once.

• JW Potatoes
