Barbaresco — Restaurant in New York

Tomato and mozzarella app was terrible, sliced tomatoes from the fridge and they bring you the olive oil and balsamic so you can dress it yourself… yeah. With all the Italian joints around, I have no idea how this place is still open. Well, based on the demographics, it won’t be there much longer - no...
