**For parties of 15 or more, kindly call our Events ManagerRobert Miguel at (415) 307-5609 or email robertm@barbayanitaverna.com.** Hospitality in ancient Greece is a timeless tradition deeply woven into the fabric of its culture. In the Mediterranean, a region historically known as a melting pot of diverse cultures and cuisines, this spirit of hospitality was not only a virtue but a sacred duty. From the early times of city-states to the present day, the people of Greece have welcomed weary travelers as if they were guests from the gods themselves. This tradition is a testament to the enduring values of generosity, kindness, and warmth that have characterized Greek society for millennia. Whether it’s a simple offering of food and shelter or the sharing of stories and experiences, the essence of Greek hospitality remains as vibrant and essential today as it was in the days of Homer’s epic tales.

We were a group of 5. All food was quick to arrive, hot foods were hot, all food was well plated and had very good flavor. We all had drinks from the specialty drinks list, and they were all really delicious and beautifully presented. We are a boisterous group, and enjoyed the energy of the place. Our waitress was amazing!!! I am sorry I don’t remember her name. She made the night even more fun.

Beyond excellent service, delicious food, it’s a narrow restaurant and when the door opens you can feel the cold on a cold night. A gem of a place.

It is a delight to have an authentic German bistro here in San Carlos. The experience transported me back to Stuttgart with its friendly welcome, warm pretzels, savory schnitzel, frankfurters, and of course, the beer and wine. We will undoubtedly return with friends and family to enjoy another special trip to Germany on Laurel Street.
