Barbuto

I've been here twice in the last few months.

The first time we came in a big group and sat at the Chef's table. Despite my friend informing the restaurant that I was a vegetarian there was absolutely nothing prepared for me to eat, I was only able to enjoy 15% of the food served and yet charged the full cost of the meal, added to which I was made to feel like a pariah but the waiting staff.

After this I vowed never to return, however I was persuaded to go with a friend and this time ordered off the menu. I'm so glad I did.

The food was delicious - incredibly fresh and each fllavour is distinct. The gnocchi with butternut squash in particular was gorgeous.

Wine list was good and well priced.

Service a bit hit and miss at times but well-intentioned.
