Barba Bianca in Greenport

don't bother making a reservation, it doesn't mean anything. you get there 15 min early they say you can't seat for another 2.5 hours. l made my reservations 2 weeks before. not only they are very disorganized they ate very rude and they don't even listen to you. they say they have the same problem with others. l wonder why.l couldn't get an explanation why l couldn't be seated, never again , this place won't survive.

Just excellent!!! Everything as perfect. Cannot wait til opens again this summer. Wow!!!

It's Fortino's Tavern now. Great food and even greater people.

We ate at the bar on a busy Friday night, and couldn't have had a better experience. We started with absolutely fresh out of the water that morning plump delicious oysters from Widow's Hole, barely a mile down the the harbor. How local is that? Oysters are a special on Friday night. Scungilli salad tender and tasty, rabbit that was out of this world, lobster with buccatini -- could not have been better. Staff friendly, service fantastic.

Delicious

Barba Bianca's second weekend open was smashing. A delightfully simple atmosphere and even more delightful staff. With consideration of nerves, we look forward to returning once the staff has become more comfortable. To start, we had raw oysters (typical Nofo fare). The fried, stuffed zucchini blossoms were perfectly flakey and the ricotta was a dream. Skate fish for an entree was shockingly good & I can't imagine it any other way. Our waiter paired a Pinot Grigio with our meal - a flawless recommendation based on our discussion of the menu. This is the restaurant the North Fork has been missing, anyone who disagrees has never gone out to eat anywhere but the North Fork.

Great food and excellent service. Everything we had was delicious especially the crudo of the day and the lamb meatballs. One of the best restaurants on the North fork

Great food, beautiful setting, fantastic service. Great summer spot!

Great food on the NoFo Italian without the heavy red gravy

Great, clean food

Good friend zucchini blossoms and very good crab salad with polenta. Tasty skate, ok lobster risotto and interesting fregotta with clams

The ambience is as romantic as you can get, especially when seated outside on the dock. The food (especially the skate. THE SKATE!!!) is superb, but I'm docking it one star because the spaghetti (Spaghetti and Lobster) was a bit on the raw side. Otherwise I'm quite glad we stumbled upon this little gem! In addition to the skate, I highly recommend the flore di zucca and the duck prosciutto and fig appetizers, the watermelon negroni cocktail, and the panna cotta dessert (perfectly silky and sweet). Service was prompt and considerate.

great place. Menu is a little small. lobster risotto was amazing

Food excellent however the hostess needs to be replaced. She has no idea how to run the restaurant and treat customers.The table next to us walked out because of poor service and she did nothing to make them stay.Hire a professional not an armature with no experience.

Poor food and atrocious service.

Upscale food with a nice ambience and beautiful plating, but the service left something to be desired. Still a nice spot to check out, and a very interesting menu

Excellent food, but TERRIBLE service. My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate my birthday and nearly had to beg the waitress to give us her attention. When we spoke to the manager nothing changed. Will not go back because of this experience

Absolutely excellent. I walked into here based on a creative looking menu and was surprised with a delicious meal that would’ve fit right in during a recent trip to Sicily. After such a good meal, was not shocked to learn such a respected chef was in the kitchen. What a treat.

We're so glad we took a chance on this spot, despite some mixed reviews. Service was attentive and accommodating. The cured tuna and scungilli appetizers were generous and exceeded our expectations, while the gnocchi pomodoro and pasta with rabbit, peas and carrots, were both pleasingly filling - pure comfort food. Finally, the panna cotta with stewed peaches was a perfect share to finish the meal. The only downside was the busser hovered very close, waiting for us to take a final bite before whisking the plates away. He even swiped my wineglass before I could ask for more! We would absolutely return to this beautiful waterfront restaurant on our next visit.

The Food, Amazing!! The staff, attentive , most efficient and friendly👍 The atmosphere, perfect!!!You MUST try this restaurant!!, again and again.
