Room Description
The four private rooms on the second floor of the 1874 and 1881 townhouses in which Barbetta is located, consist of the original dining room, library and drawing rooms, each preserving its original fireplace as well as beautiful woodwork and details of the period. These four rooms, which connect to one another, may be used separately or together for an intimate dinner party or banquet for as few as six persons to a cocktail reception for over 100. Beautifully appointed with antique furniture, these rooms are accessible either from the restaurant below or by private entrance from the street.
Restaurant Description
Barbetta, having celebrated its 100th Anniversary in 2006, is the oldest restaurant in New York that is still owned by the family that founded it. Barbetta is also the oldest Italian restaurant in New York, and the oldest restaurant in New York's Theatre District. This three-fold distinction makes this historic restaurant a landmark among New York restaurants. Its landmark status has been recognized by the prestigious and highly selective Locali Storici d'Italia, which has designated Barbetta a Locale Storico(Historic Establishment), the first restaurant in America to have been so named.
