Reviews for Babbo in New York, NY
Probably the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. I had the pasta tasting menu and it was amazing. The pastas was... carefully proportioned so that I didn’t get full too quickly. The service was also spectacular, one of the waiters (I forgothis name) was really energetic and such a fun guy. Disclosed below are pictures of 6/7 of the dishes we had, including the 3different deserts our table had. The highlight of the night would probably be the pappardelle bolognese, but the other disheswere also very good. When I get the chance I will make sure to come back again. Thank you Babbo for the memorable experience. Read more
Wonderful wine selection. Very courteous and attentive staff. Food was prepared perfectly and the summer corn and tomato ravioli... was divine. My husband had the short rib and said it was delicious. The ricotta cheesecake was incredible. We would highlyrecommend and will return! Thanks for a great meal and welcoming atmosphere. Read more
Babbo, take my money!!!!! Every time I visit this place, they do not disappoint. Are the portions small? Yes. Is it pricey?... Yes. Is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY. The service is top-notch and the food and drinks are divine. The black spaghetti is always ago-to choice for me. 10/10 would recommend. Read more
They had a few vegetarian options which I appreciate—although I would love to see maybe few more. I got the chickpea patty,... burrata and the roasted potatoes. Chickpea patty was my absolute favorite—the texture was great, crispy but soft, loved thesauce under the patty as well. Burrata was fantastic as well, very well laid out over beats and squash. Roasted potatoesweren’t my favorite but still pretty good—they had more smoky flavor than my palate is able to appreciate. Overall—wouldcome back here next time! Read more
This place was incredibly good! We did the pasta tasting menu and most of the dishes tasted unique but still classic. The wine... pairings were genius, the sommeliers need raises. It does not get 5 stars from me because the tasting menu was not proportionedcorrectly and the last three dishes were very heavy and large, also I bit too classic and boring for me. Heavy is ok, especiallywith those delicious red wines, but I don’t know how well they took in to consideration the amount of heavy food. We got todesert so incredibly stuffed but because the dessert was sooooo tasty we did still finish it. The staff was so attentive andvery sweet. They even wrote happy anniversary on our dessert plates! I would definitely come back here, but I might just orderà la carte next time. (I didn’t get a picture of every dish) Read more
Food was good but only a few really stood out (squid ink pasta and olive oil butter cake). Service was disappointing and felt... like we were being rushed out of the place. Wine and the Somme were both outstanding. Read more
I have to say, it’s been a while since I have been back to Babbo. Was here for the Enoteca Piedmont event. The wines were good... but the appetizer potato salad was flavorless and the desserts were underwhelming (we even ordered an extra dessert - the oliveoil cake). Neither the desert included with the meal nor the olive cake was very good. The pasta and the short rib weredelicious however! Read more
The closet to Italy you can get here in NYC! We did the pasta tasting and it was one amazing dish after the next. The wine they... helped us picked went perfectly with our meal. I am still dreaming about Babbo! Read more
