    A very nice restaurant easy parking great service I tried The red snapper with Zucchini spaghetti. appetizers are delicious. Service was good and the food was promptly served. It is a bit on the expensive side but it is well worth it. I highly recommend this place.

    Went for dinner with a party of 10 on a very busy night. Service was exceptional even though the food took a bit longer than expected. All dishes tasted delicious, and the portion size was good. The carrot cake for dessert was a bit dry, and the advertised gelato was definitely not it. I'm pretty sure it was Häagen-Dazs ice cream. Overall, it was a nice experience. One thing to add. For the dining experience you are offering, please add proper napkins. They were very small and flimsy.

    Amazing food with incredibly fresh pasta. Great serving sizes. Service let the experience down slightly. Definitely felt a difference in the service given to us vs their hotel guests. Tiramisu wasn’t very good - whipped cream style so not authentic.

    The family and I have been here a number of times. My kids love the pizza and pasta. I try a new dish every time I am here. The staff is wonderful and very pleasant. The food has been consistently good. I like the variety of cocktails they offer. The interior is decorated in the classy side. You can't go wrong with with Buzo...

    I honestly cannot pick one problem with Buzo. We had our dinner here tonight and the service, food and atmosphere was amazing. The four cheese ravioli was phenomenal and the side of fries was huge!. We will be returning and recommending it to everyone we know. Excellent.

    What a nice find for lunch! Walking in it was such a warm and friendly atmosphere. We each ordered a drink (Aperol Spritz and Sorrel Bellini) and both were lovely. The caprese was quite large, as was the pizza. We enjoyed each, with the pizza being the standout. It had a crispy and thin crust and was loaded with ham and mushrooms (as you can see in the picture). The restaurant also was decorated beautifully for Christmas. We will happily return when next in Barbados!

    Pizza was great, service was quick and prices average for Barbados. The fish, however, had too much sauce in our opinion. Staff was really friendly. Would recommend.

    This is a beautiful restaurant with warm and attentive wait staff. The food is top notch. I definitely did not walk away feeling I would have created my meal in the comfort of my own home, so we'll worth it. The food gives you excellent quality and value for your money. Very tasty with well prepared drinks from the bar.

    Visited with my wife for our 5th anniversary. We enjoyed the atmosphere a lot. The temperature was great, the decor and lighting were nice, and the large open window into the kitchen was cool. I could see when staff snuck bites to eat and found it funny. Our waiter Ashley was great. Very positive spirit, and great energy, and smiled a lot which for the most part came off as genuine. I tried something I've never had for the first time. It, unfortunately, didn't rock my world. My wife enjoyed her meal but we felt like the salmon used may have been tin salmon which was a meh. The rest of the dish was good. My whiskey sour was enjoyable and my wife absolutely enjoyed her Sorrel Sangria. We were pleasantly surprised with an anniversary platter with two cupcakes and I must say that even if these were store-bought, they were absolutely delicious. The well wishes from the other staff regarding our anniversary were very nice. One guy gave a really nice affirmation-type well-wishing which was so smooth we wondered if he'd rehearsed it. All in all, we enjoyed our night and thank the staff for their effort.

    Amazing service great atmosphere very classy for the area. Our pizza came out very quick, shrimp squid and white fish trip was also very good and fresh. Quite expensive but the quality of the food and service was excellent. Special mention to Richard great host loved his hospitality!!

    Great restaurant that does proper Italian. Great prices and solid portions. Appetizers and mains were both fantastic and the service was on point! Suggest trying the Tuna Tartare with the burrata cream and the mushroom truffle pappardelle. A great spot for a delicious meal that is reasonably priced.

    Food was spectacular, service was top notch and ambiance was excellent. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Mark E. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place, Great friendly service, delicious food. You get two waiters working your table so you always have a drink, (wine poured) and the wait time from ordering to delivery of meal is very short. On the downside its a bit noisy and carrying on a conversation can be difficult. The evening we went, for our 50th Wedding Anniversary, a young couple at the next table had one conversational volume - ON and loud 😄- but the Restaurant, unbeknownst to us produced a small desert with the words " Happy Anniversary" in chocolate syrup. Touching and thoughtful. Reservations are a must, as it is a popular Restaurant. Highly recommended !

    We had excellent pasta!! The pork tenderloin was very juicy. The restaurant inside is beautiful and the patio outside is nice and has little chairs and tables for kids. Highly recommend this place and so far best Italian food I have had in Barbados in 3 years

  • 5/5 Anna M. 2 years ago on Google
    We loved this restaurant. Air conditioned and modern decor. Varied menu & car parking on site. Children's menu available. Great 14" pizzas come with their own stand. Delicious

    First time dining there and it was satisfactory. Our waitress was very pleasant 😊 . It took a little while to get the food but it was good.

  • 5/5 Naomygosh 2 years ago on Google
    Very good restaurant, the place is beautiful and the waiters are great (Jamaine was extremely nice) Too bad the lady at the front desk wasn’t very nice.

  • 4/5 Neil S. 2 years ago on Google
    We stumbled upon this place trying to find somewhere for dinner on our first night in Barbados (note Sundays are very quiet here)! From the outside it’s difficult to tell if it’s open as the front doors are so dark but once inside it’s a lovely and bright place with great food! We had the tempura calamari and vegetables to start, which were cooked perfectly! The accompanying sauce was ok but a garlic aioli would have worked better. For mains we had the pumpkin ravioli and squid ink seafood pasta, both of which were delicious. The service was great here and I’d definitely come back. A nice little gem of a place

  • 5/5 Vik D. 1 year ago on Google
    If you’re visiting Barbados then this restaurant is a must! Recommended by our taxi driver and we loved it. The pizza is amazing. Pasta was great too. The vibe is really nice and very modern. We will go back before we leave.

  • 5/5 Andy C. 2 years ago on Google
    This is place feels a class above, so we felt under-dressed having been out at the races and exploring all day. However like all Bajan places we went, it wasn't an issue to the venue. I had the Tortelli Salsiccia Porcini and it was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had anywhere in the world. We went back again later in our holiday and dressed more appropriately, and seafood starter was delish too. Beautiful setting for a special meal and not expensive for the quality and venue. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Jennifer B. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything was great the atmosphere was warming the food was great. Loved the drink. The family and guess enjoyed themselves. Will go back there again.

  • 5/5 Chris 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding dinner at Buzo, from start to finish. Our waiter was Tristan who was so polite and professional, he worked very hard to ensure his guests had a pleasant meal. The food portion sizes are very large, with a wide variety of choice. The restaurant seems consistently busy and I can see why customers love this restaurant. The service was very quick and our pizzas came out within 15/20 minutes. Decor is beautiful and I would say the restaurant is great value for money. Certainly be back at Buzo to try some pasta meals next time.

  • 5/5 Mini P. 1 year ago on Google
    If ever you're in the Oistins area of Barbados close to Coconut Court there is this amazing eatery. Huge praise indeed from me! The owner is warm, friendly and inviting, immediately relaxing you into your chair. This Italian eatery is a special place for those that appreciate good quality food. Our waitress Victoria was attentive but not overly so. Our table bread was so soft and pillowy that it absorbed the balsamic vinegar and olive oil with ease. We passed on starters and dived straight into the mains. My seafood tagliatellini was just perfection. I've been lucky enough to eat in some of the best places and this is right up there with any of them. We both opted for the soufflé dessert and again it was served perfectly on point. I highly recommend you pay this place a visit. It really is a little taste of Italy. Well done guys.

  • 4/5 Kashka H. 3 years ago on Google
    This place has great ambience with dining inside and alfresco. I didn't give it a five star rating because the pizzas are a little hit or miss in my experience. There are some really great ones and some average ones. Everything else I've had, has been consistently good but the baked polenta is truly exceptional.

    Always enjoy the meals and service at Buzo!!! Before Covid, my husband and I would go for lunch on weekends for the delicious pizzas.

  • 1/5 Veronica W. 4 years ago on Google
    Honestly, one of the worst pizzas I've ever had (and I'm Italian so I know what good pizza tastes like!) We ordered a Campagnola and a Buzo, without cheese because I'm lactose intolerant. The crust was way too thin and it tasted like paper. The tomato sauce was very sweet and the Buzo one didn't have any wild mushrooms (just regular mushrooms) and no sign of truffle oil, both ingredients on the menu. I was barely able to finish two slices and I'm very disappointed (given the fact that it was also my birthday!!). I had better pizza from the frozen section in the supermarket.

  • 5/5 Everything N. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent decor....... located on the south coast of the island on the same compound as Marriot courtyard. Had the salmon pasta, It was very good. The drinks are amazing and the service excellent. Must wear your mask upon entering, until seated . Great for couples, families or loners. Loved the fact that the menus are the place mats and are disposable, they no longer carry a regular menu which is used repeatedly.

  • 1/5 Tonya B. 3 years ago on Google
    Had the special menu. Appetizer was a kale salad which still had dirt on the kale. As expected, they said it was black pepper. They did ask if i wanted something else but i decided to wait or the next course. The main course was a pork loin dish with asparagus and mushrooms. Presentation was awful. The pork was totally covered with brown salty gravy with two ( I counted) small pieces of asparagus hidden in the brown sludge. I did not enjoy that either. I had to leave before dessert was served but my remaining party told me that it was not good. Ate at buzo prior and it was nice but this time around they were off the mark. Pls revamp that special menu.

    Best place to chill and spend time. I don't live in Barbados anymore but whenever I visit, I go there for pizza. Their Campagnola is my favorite and Buzo special is also nice. I have tried every one of the pizza from their manu. I used to go with group of friends almost twice in a month, more than that sometimes. Most of the staff members know me by my face😂. Their pepper sauce is must try. I wish I could buy a huge container from them and store it. I never had Italian pizza better than them. Miss going to Buzo! Much love...

    I hate to do reviews like this because I know how hard it is as a business owner to provide good service. I had an extremely disappointing experience at Buzo restaurant and would not recommend it to anyone. From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff were unfriendly and unwelcoming. Despite my patience, I had to wait for nearly an hour to be seated, only to then endure another 40-minute wait for our dinner to arrive. Even the drinks we ordered took an eternity to be served. It was evident that the manager lacks the necessary skills to efficiently run a restaurant, as there seemed to be a severe shortage of staff on a busy night. The high prices at Buzo did not justify the extensive waits and lackluster service. What truly irked me was the mandatory service charge that was added to the bill, preventing me from tipping the server directly. This felt like a money-grabbing tactic, as it gave the establishment control over how much they would receive in tips. This is completely unacceptable and felt like a rip-off. Overall, the exorbitant cost, subpar taste, and excruciatingly long wait times make dining at Buzo a regrettable decision. Until significant improvements are made to the service and overall experience, I would advise against choosing Buzo as a dining destination.
