About Barbaro
Barbaro brings a refined yet relaxed take on Italian dining to the corner of Franklin Avenue and Church Street in Millbrook, NY. The restaurant is part of a celebrated Hudson Valley restaurant group led by Chef Gianni Scappin alongside partners Luciano Valdivia and Nick Brower—the culinary team behind Market Street in Rhinebeck, Cucina in Woodstock, and Fern in Lakeville, CT. Together, they have built a reputation for Italian cooking that blends tradition with creativity, and at Barbaro that philosophy unfolds in an intimate dining room defined by warm textures and thoughtful design.
The menu draws inspiration from the culinary regions of Veneto, Tuscany, and Genoa while embracing the seasonal ingredients of the Hudson Valley. Wood-fired pizzas emerge from a Pavesi oven with crisp, blistered crusts, while house-made pastas showcase both classic technique and inventive pairings. Local produce and carefully sourced Italian imports come together across the menu, creating dishes that feel authentic while still reflecting the region the restaurant calls home.
Beyond the food, Barbaro has become a social anchor in Millbrook’s dining scene. The restaurant’s understated elegance—accented by antique mirrors, terra cotta pottery, and subtle nods to the town’s equestrian culture—makes it equally suited for relaxed weeknight dinners or special occasions. It’s a place where thoughtful cooking, a welcoming atmosphere, and a sense of community converge.
