Barbuto Brooklyn Debuts with Signature Dishes and New Twists

Chef Jonathan Waxman has expanded his renowned West Village establishment, Barbuto, to Brooklyn Heights, opening the doors of Barbuto Brooklyn on September 17, 2025.

Located within the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge at 60 Furman Street, the new venue offers a spacious 210-seat dining area adorned with industrial elements and lush greenery, providing a fresh ambiance for both loyal patrons and newcomers.

The menu continues to showcase Waxman's celebrated California-Italian cuisine, featuring beloved classics such as the JW Pollo al Forno—roasted chicken with salsa verde—the signature kale salad, and gnocchi with hazelnut pesto.

Adding to the culinary repertoire, new offerings include the Pizza Brooklyn, topped with Acme smoked salmon, avocado, crème fraîche, and caviar, and the Pasta Bambini, a fettuccine dish with butter and Parmesan.

In addition to the main dining area, the establishment features the Barbuto Garden, an outdoor space offering its own selection of bites and a rotating list of 16 beers on tap, perfect for al fresco dining.

Waxman first introduced Barbuto in 2004 in the West Village, where it quickly became a neighborhood staple. The expansion to Brooklyn marks a significant milestone, bringing the restaurant's signature dishes and new innovations to a broader audience.
