  After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night. “It left such an impact on people,” said Suzanna Gardijan, who has been working at Barbetta for 38 years as its Private Events Manager. “Everybody’s coming back tonight just to say goodbye, and a lot of people are crying, telling us how much Barbetta has meant to them,” Gardijan said from her perch at coat check.
