Feds sue San Antonio pizza spot Barbaro, saying it violated labor, tipshare laws

The U.S. Labor Department has sued Tobin Hill pizza spot Barbaro, accusing it of violating federal labor laws by making tipped workers give a share of their gratuities to managers. The suit, filed Sept. 1 in San Antonio federal court, argues that Pizza Bar LLC, which does business as Barbaro, also unlawfully shorted 25 current and ex-employees on their federally mandated overtime pay over a three-year time period. Restaurateur Chad Carey, whose Empty Stomach Group includes Pizza Bar, denied the allegations in a statement emailed to the Current.
