Barbetta
Barbetta, founded in 1906, is the oldest Italian restaurant in New York as well as the oldest restaurant in the city's Theatre District. This family-owned and operated establishment is now run by the daughter of its original founder, Sebastiano Maioglio. Entree items include broiled Atlantic salmon with an herbed sauce and cucumbers and chicken in a pomegranate sauce with mashed potatoes. The main dining room at Barbetta showcases an opulent decor that is complete with a chandelier that belongs to Italy's royal Savoy family and a 1631 harpsichord. Other luxurious features are the upholstered chairs, the candle lighting throughout, and hues of creme and peach. In the summer, al fresco dining is available in the garden that is reminiscent of a country estate with scented blooms and white iron furniture. Private functions can also be arranged at Barbetta and held in one of four private rooms or in the garden.
