"It was Laura's wish that guests continue to gather here in the spirit she cherished, and we invite you to join us during this final month to celebrate the food, wine, and memories that have defined Barbetta for generations. In that spirit, we are sharing our extensive wine cellar, with bottles listed at $200 and above offered at half their listed price."
"The decision to close comes following the death of owner Laura Maioglio, 'the heart and soul of Barbetta,' who passed away in January at the age of 93. Maioglio took over the family business in 1962, running the restaurant for more than six decades."
"This is such a devastating loss for NYC, & all my thoughts are with your family. We will remember happy nights at Barbetta so fondly! Rest in peace, Laura - thank you for everything!"
