Jonathan Waxman's Italian-inspired cuisine represents only the best in local and seasonal ingredients. All dishes from the antipasti to the primi, secondi, and contorni are developed using simple preparations that showcase the quality and flavors of each ingredient on the plate. A selection of formaggio, desserts and a stellar wine list are also available. As Barbuto's menu changes daily according to the quality of produce and seasonality of ingredients, guests will be treated to dishes such as Crispy Potato Gnocchi with Squash and Parmesan; Sautéed local spinach, hazelnut and lemon; and Jonathan's signature Roasted JW Chicken and Salsa Verde.

Like magicians, wildebeests, and professional gamblers, chefs tend to be a peripatetic group. They get bored, they get into disputes with the owner, and before you know it, they've packed up their knives and are on the road again.
