  We had such a great experience at Barbusa! We came with the kids, and Victor and Rossana were amazing—very responsive, incredibly patient, and especially accommodating with our children, which we really appreciated. The food was excellent. We shared the mushroom truffle pasta, tomato cream pasta, Margherita pizza, burrata with fresh tomatoes and basil, Caesar salad, and several appetizers. The mushroom truffle pasta was definitely one of the highlights—creamy, rich, and full of truffle and mushroom flavor. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, but the service from Victor and Rossana really ma

  We dined at Barbusa at the recommendation of our friends who are local to San Diego. We were welcomed with smiles and seated immediately on a Thursday around 6PM. There were many open tables which were all full within an hour. We went without reservations. Parking can be a challenge even on a less busy day so I would recommend car pooling which is what we did or being dropped off by a ride share. The atmosphere is great. Very appealing and tables were spread apart far enough where you didn't feel like you were being stuffed as close as possible. There were many seating options for singles at t

Small moment, but it meant a lot to us. When we were leaving, another server asked if we wanted a bag for our to go boxes, little things like th

  EXCELLENT FOOD, MEDIOCRE SERVICE A local recommended this spot. I was apprehensive because it looked "too fancy" for my taste, but I was pleasantly surprised. The meal I got (Bolognese Al Forno) was fantastic. It was flavorful and I enjoyed it, even being as picky of an eater as I am. The dessert was also great. The downside was the service. We went during the week and it was not busy at all. We were given the option to eat inside or out, and we opted for outside because it was a beautiful day. But while we were at the host stand we could see it wasn't busy. The server greeted us after a few m

  We came to this restaurant without a reservation and were seated very quickly, which we truly appreciated. The table wasn’t the most comfortable one, but considering we didn’t have a booking, we were grateful to be accommodated. The hostess introduced herself as Ella. Unfortunately, her behavior stood out in a negative way. She was constantly chewing gum and came across as rather arrogant. In my opinion, this kind of appearance and attitude feels unprofessional and doesn’t create a welcoming first impression. Our server, Michael, was friendly and happy to give recommendations from the menu. At
