It’s a long scroll, but it looks worth it. Barbuzzo is Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran‘s latest Midtown Village spot (they’re also the duo behind Bindi, Grocery, Lolita and others), and it opens today. With an emphasis on local, artisan-farmed goods and a Medi vibe, and it’s the duo’s first non-BYOB. Uwishunu has some great pictures, and the Barbuzzo blog has some great making-of details. In a word: Guh.
Barbuzzo, 110 S 13th St. 215-546-9300
Pig popcorn? I’m so there. I am envisioning greezy popcorn with hunks of lardon and maybe…chives? Can this be possible? Thanks for the preview, kittens.
clearly going for the same audience as Garces Trading. how are we doing the “local, artisan farmed” thing if we’re also doing the “Mediterranean” thing? this locality is very much NOT the Mediterranean. you read through that menu and it’s a big list of shit that is very certainly not being farmed here. you don’t get to just say “oh, we’re emphasizing locally sourced foods” and then have a totally non-american menu theme.
@ DX-
I think what they are saying is that Barbuzzo is sourcing all of their produce and meats locally to make the Mediterranean food…..
