Barbuto Restaurant

Casual dining, cocktails, and a vibrant interior make Barbuto a star of the Northern Beaches.

Barbuto is situated right across the street from the golden shores of Narrabeen beach, and the décor certainly reflects that. Ocean-toned tiles wrap around the bar, with the wooden tabletops reminiscent of the driftwood littered along the sand. Thick rope hangs from the ceiling in an interesting visual display that calls to mind the rope used on sailing boats of days gone by. Bright prints line the walls, giving the place an inviting, relaxed aesthetic—but it’s the food that truly will tempt you once you settle at your table.

The Barbuto menu has a modern Australian theme with an Italian twist. Entrees include fried calamari and chill and garlic prawns, with a range of mouth-watering pastas and mains available to follow. Alternatively, embrace the great Aussie BBQ tradition and enjoy something from the grill—reviewers have raved about Barbuto’s steak being cooked to perfection.

With a name like Barbuto, you’d expect an impressive drinks list—and you wouldn’t be disappointed. This venue has a range of enticing cocktails, wines, and beers, both bottled and on tap, to quench your thirst.
