    Funghi E Tartufo
    Alyssa P.

    Came here recently on a Thursday (late) night. We were seated quickly and the staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered the 1. Fiori di zucca (Squash blossoms)- unique dish I would recommend trying. It was a good combination of flavors with a crunchy tempura outside +cheesy center+sweet and sour sauce on top 2.funghi e tartufo pasta- also good unique flavor but was very rich, I would recommend splitting this dish 3.palermitana- rigatoni pasta, I'd skip on this one The restaurant was only about half full at the time, but the music was so loud that I felt like I had to shout at my husband to hear him. Cute spot if you're looking for a fun night out with drinks but maybe wouldn't recommend for an intimate date night.

    Someone told me they once cried (of happiness) after eating here so I had to go check it out for myself. We got the: - Lollipop chops: lamb was good, sauce was AMAZING - Dolce e piccante pizza: crust was well baked and loved the sweet, spicy, and salty mixture, very heavy though. - Frutti di mare: seafood wasn't fresh unfortunately Overall came to a conclusion that this is an okay spot, not my first choice in Little Italy. Maybe if I try the pesto gnocchi i'll change my mind since that looked pretty good.

    Came here after little Italy farmers market shopping. Everything in little Italy is walkable but parking is horrible. My friend and I walk in without a reservation and got seated right away. Drinks : Bianca sangria -very light and refreshing, just the right hint of sweetness. Unsweetened ice tea with lemon Food : bolognese pasta - horrible, don't get it. My friend was the one who ordered it and only took two bites. We pack to go and my boyfriend ate it and he didn't even like it as well. It was dry and pasta is like spaghetti -Os . Even the serving bowl seems like it's a kids meal Frutti di Mare pasta - this pasta was so much better. Light sauce, flavors of the seafood was perfect with a hint of tart and not overly fishy. The pasta cooked perfect à la dente. Burrata pizza 1000/10 - amazing pizza I have ever tried in CA. Thin slice, they make it perfect amount of dough and crust. The Red sauce is what made the pizza so amazing. This pizza was so light not a hint of oiliness which two girls finish the whole pizza! It was that good! Overall I would definitely come back for the pizza again!! And I would definitely try their other dishes but Avoid the Bolognese. Total price was about $120 price is definitely steep but their pizza was so worth it. Service was good at the beginning but towards the end when it was time to pack up food and get the bill it took forever.

    Legit Italian restaurant right in the heart of little Italy in San Diego. We came on a weekday night but it was already bustling around early on. We were fortunate to be seated within a few minutes at their outside patio. Overall plenty of seating and good ambiance inside and outside the restaurant. Excellent service. We ordered the garlic bread, pollo parmigiana, and frutti di mare. All were exquisite! He garlic bread was perfect. The parmigiana was a good blend of chicken and pasta. The frutti di mare had a generous portion of seafood. Would definitely come again!

    Ambiance is good, clean and well kept, Their crab pasta was unique and flavourful . You dont see many crab pasta in other restaurants usually. Beet salad was great too. The food came on time. It wasnt crowded for an afternoon

    Located in the center of Little Italy, Barbusa is a restaurant that offers modern Sicilian cuisine. Since my partner and I were planning to explore the surrounding area, we decided to book a dinner reservation here. When we arrived, the restaurant was extremely packed. Even though we had a reservation, we still had to wait 20 minutes until we were seated. Not cool! Because this restaurant was so full, it was extremely loud and noisy. I could barely hear what my partner was saying when we tried to talk. In addition, the seating layout felt very tight. We were way too close to the table next to us. Food-wise, everything was satisfactory, but nothing amazing. I've definitely had much better Italian food before. We ordered the following: Funghi E Tartufo: handmade pappardelle pasta with mushrooms, panna, mascarpone, and white truffle oil - very rich and buttery. Gnocchi: handmade gnocchi pasta with pistachio pesto, panna, and oven roasted tomato - the nutty pistachio pesto sauce pairs really nicely with the soft gnocchi Burrata Pizza: artisan pizza with tomatoes, burrata, and basil - fresh, simple pizza with a thin crust that is great for sharing Other than the food, I did not really enjoy anything else about this place. Service was lacking as well. Parking was difficult because of how congested Little Italy is at night and the fact that there is no designated lot.

    Beautiful atmosphere, both indoor and outdoor seating, right in the heart of little Italy Unique menu of varied items, including vegetarian options Good, attentive, friendly service Had the Bietole (beet) salad and an appetizer of fried zucchini. Very good!

    It was a really cute place. We got lucky and got outside seating. I really liked the two appetizers, but I did not like my main dish. It felt like Chef Boyardee, but trying to be a little fancier. It was supposed to be a Bolognese but the noodles were circles that were a little hard. It just was not what I was expecting for Italian. I wanted like home, cooking mother Italian, and this was a place that was trying to be too fancy. The food definitely was more expensive than it should've been. Good for a date night, but maybe not anytime more than once.

    My partner and I took a visit to Barbusa (With reservation) on a busy weekend and I have to say, parking here is a absolute nightmare. We arrived to Little Italy an hour early and it took us almost an hour to find suitable parking. Sure, you're able to find paid parking lots but most that are outdoors seem pretty unsafe and street parking (metered) were pretty nonexistent as well due to the amount of traffic and congestion there is. Quite frankly, it's worse than DTLA. My partner and I parked about a 20 minute walk away which made the experience a bit unpleasant. Onto the restaurant itself, the ambiance is quite romantic I'd say. The dimmed interior is very fitting to the style of restaurant and this occasion overall. There's outdoor seating with heat lamps but I find it quite congested when servers are walking in between crowds from the street to the outdoor section of the restaurant, a bit of a mess but can't really complain about the layout. My partner and I had to wait around 20 minutes to get seated after arriving with our reservation which is not ideal but the restaurant was very busy overall. Service was decent at best, our orders were taken a bit slow but it's understandable as it was quite busy. Not very attentive but other servers/staff accommodated with table cleaning and plates. We ordered the Gnocchi pasta, Funghi E Tartufo pasta, and Burrata pizza to share and they came out in a timely manner. Pretty impressed with the presentation with all three dishes which is a huge plus. Taste overall, it didn't really blow me away. It was tasty but nothing over the top in my opinion. Portions are decent and certainly fulfilling with a side dish. I'd have to say though, the Burrata Pizza is pretty sizeable, decent size to share and a decent pizza overall with a crunchy crust. Overall, a average experience as the parking and service wasn't adequate. Felt a bit rushed but food was decent. Interested in revisiting just to try the other pastas and Italian food, just a disappointing visit and didn't impress me enough.

    Funghi E Tartufo

    Great pasta spot to try in Little Italy! We came right when they opened on a Saturday, and the service was amazing. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. We ordered the Funghi e Tartufo, Prosciutto e Tartufo, and the Palermitana. Everything was delicious, but the standout for me was the Funghi e Tartufo. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the pasta had the perfect chewy texture that paired so well with the creamy dish. I was also celebrating my birthday, and they surprised me with a small sweet treat, which was such a thoughtful touch!

    Short Rib Lasagna
    Vanessa F.

    Had dinner here. For appetizers we ordered the garlic bread which was very good, the bruschetta, and the burrata caprese. For entrees we ordered the gnocchi and short rib lasagna. The gnocchi was good with a doughy consistency. My husband loved the short rib lasagna. For dessert we got the donuts which I enjoyed very much. Our server was friendly and provided me with a sour mocktail even though mocktails are not on the menu. The outdoor seating gives a nice feel of an outdoor Italy ambiance. Inside in nice and dim with good music.

    Lollipop Chops & Calamari
    Anh H.

    Writing this review now after two visits about a year apart. **Note that as of current, the seafood bar and pizza are only served after 4PM. Service: 5/5 Very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable servers. Most seemed of Italian decent which added to the authenticity. Ambiance: 5/5 Modern yet cozy. Love the atmosphere. Drinks All of there drinks seem thoughtful and very well crafted. They were all amazing. The banana espresso martini was a 1000/10! Food - Calamari: 4/5 Large portion and great flavor but it could be more crispy overall. - Lollipop Chops: 5/5 I never would have thought to order this dish. It was recommended by the server and it did not disappoint. Came out piping hot, cheese pull, and tons of flavor. - Ricciola: 5/5 I was presently surprised with this dish. Didn't know how I'd feel having fish with potatoes but since the potatoes were cooked perfectly, it meshed so well. - Dolce e Piccante Pizza: 4/5 All of the toppings complimented the pizza very well. My only complaint was that the pizza wasn't toasted/baked enough. It need a little more char and it crunch to it. - Lobster Fusiili: 3.5/5 - Carbonara: 4/5 Delicious but very rich. This dish is good to share family style. - Funghi e Tarfuto: 5/5 My favorite dish! They don't skimp out on the truffle also. Noodles are perfectly al dente. - Gnocchi: 5/5 Also a top contender.

    Visited Barbusa for dinner with my friends on Saturday, and we loved our time here! We each ordered our own dishes and loved every single one -- I got the braised short rib lasagna that was amazing!! The meat was so tender and the lasagna was baked perfectly. I tried a bite of my friend's mushroom pasta which was so delicious and creamy. We shared an espresso martini that was also so yummy, creamy, and strong! Honestly I have no complaints with our meal, our dishes were brought to us pretty quickly, and the staff were all so friendly! Highly recommend this spot in Little Italy!

    Ask the Community - Barbusa

    Do they gave Gluten Free pasta or GF options?

    Yes~ their pasta selections have gluten free available options.

    Are there high chairs for kids?

    Yes, they do

    I've heard this place is loud, just how loud is it?

    Yes it's louder than needed. Food and decor makes it worth the visit. You can always dine outside.

    Hi! Do they do anything for anniversaries/bdays?

    You might have to contact them directly. I put in my OpenTable reservation that the occasion was an anniversary but they didn't do anything lol.… Read more

    Do they have a kids menu?

    Doesn't seem like it but their garlic bread and bolognese Al forno (looks like spaghetti o's with traditional tasting red meat sauce) would be good options to share with kids!

    Is the corkage fee still $20 or did it increase?

    Corkage fee was insanely increased to the highest in Little Italy at $30/bottle as of 6/8/2022

    Is there still a corkage fee? Can we still bring our own bottle?

    HIGH Corkage fee. $30/bottle

    How do I make a reservation for a large party? Opentable won't let me make a large party reservation. Party of 20

    I think you need to call for a party of that size.

    Is there a corkage fee here?

    YES ! Corkage fee is $30 / bottle !

    Are dogs allowed?

    I'm sure they allow dogs at their outside tables, but I wouldn't recommend it. It gets crowded and there is lot's of hustle and bustle around the tables.

    Is there indoor dining?

    They just began seating inside again three weeks ago.

    Do they still accept cash?

    Yes. We paid cash and card for our bill.

    Do you they sell "cheese wheel pasta"?

    I was just there this past Sunday and currently don't offer that

    Are they taking phone calls for take out? I've tried calling for the past 2 days and nobody is answering.

    They are taking phone calls for take out.

    Does lunch menu have the same item as dinner menu? Thanks.

    The lunch menu has the same items as the dinner menus.

    Do they have a vegan menu?

    There is no dedicated vegan menu but they do have a great vegan pizza. Call ahead to make sure they have the vegan sausage.

    Do they still serve short rib stack during happy hour, and is happy hour served only at the bar?

    I just went last week for HH and did not see that on their menu (I just posted the pic of the HH menu for you for your reference). And yes, HH is only served at the bar area.

    Is parking tricky here?!

    Yes pretty tricky to find street parking! There is a public parking garage down the street and it has an elevator that pops you up into the Little Italy Plaza. It costs $16 for 2 hours.

    Do they take the Synergy gift card?

    Yes

    Hi I've small very well behaved pup. Are they dog friendly?

    I would not think so, there is no outdoor seating and it's a fairly upscale Italian place.. also very busy, and loud which would not be good for a dog. It also states on the main page that they are not dog friendly.

We made a reservation and although we arrived on time, we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. I agree with some of the other commenters when they say that the revolving fireplace needs some love. It has the look and feel of needing to be updated. Also, for it to be a "speakeasy" vibe, you could hear the loudness of the bar through the walls. It just kind of ruins the facade a little bit. Regardless, we enjoyed the novelty of being slowly admitted to the speakeasy on the opposite side. We were given seats and upon first glance it was a dark lit space with an old fashioned aesthetic. I was surprised to see how casual everyone was dressed- I assumed there was a dress code, but I guess flip flops made the cut ‍. It took a few minutes for our server to attend to us, and when he did you could tell he was slammed. We just didn't get the table side manner one was hoping for an establishment like this. Peeking at their drink menu, I found myself disappointed that much of their options had a lot of sweet or fruit juice ingredients. So, I went for their old fashioned. For the price, it was just okay. Another disappointing moment. In all, it wasn't terrible, but it just isn't worth the hype. Overpriced and mediocre drinks and a seemingly overworked staff didn't make for a memorable experience and ended up not being for us. Glad to have tried it...but look elsewhere if you've actually been to a speakeasy. This just doesn't live up to what it's trying to sell you.

The cocktails were also much stronger than anticipated. We sat at the bar this time instead of at a table, and the seating felt very cramped. The bar stools were so close to the standing area that it was difficult to even pull out a chair without people brushing past. Because of that, we ended up finishing our food and drinks and leaving pretty quickly instead of lingering and enjoying the experience.

    Finally made it to this cute speakeasy in San Diego! We stopped by on a Sunday around 5 PM and had…read moreno trouble walking right in. There were plenty of seats available, and service was quick and smooth. Cocktails were around $15-18 each. I ordered the Perpetual Motion and absolutely loved it, the sweet strawberry flavor paired perfectly with the creamy Calpico. It's the kind of drink I'd order again and again. I also tried the Piña Colada, which was equally delicious. Even though the cocktails are beautifully handcrafted and easy to sip, you can still taste the liquor, which I always appreciate. This is such a great spot for a first date, a girls' night out, or simply catching up with friends. One of my favorite parts was exploring the vinyl room, it adds such a fun retro touch. The entire space has a nostalgic, vintage vibe that makes you feel like you've stepped into another era. It's the perfect place to relax, enjoy some creative cocktails, and soak in the atmosphere.

    This is a nice establishment, especially for lounging with a date. Very clean and nice drinks too…read more A little pricey however that's the norm in this area for the more popular out of towner type spots. The servers are friendly. But you have to be patient as they are often quite busy. The record store and records theme is what they present online but to be honest that is only a minute section of the establishment. It definitely doesn't describe the theme of the place neither. The worker in the record section simply ignored me when I tried to purchase a record and after a minute I had to ask for him to please ring me up. No apology from him. No biggie, I still had a decent time drinking here.
