You know you're going to get some of the best Italian food at this legendary Joe Bastianich haunt because it's been going strong since 1998. Babbo set the stage for contemporary fine-dining Italian restaurants in the city, and you can still expect exemplary dishes like warm lamb's tongue and citrusy sweetbreads all white seated in a Greenwich Village townhouse where Led Zeppelin and Blondie play in the background.

    The staff was wonderful; efficient and friendly. The food was wonderful! BUT…THE MUSIC IS WAY TOO LOUD! We asked twice to perhaps turn down the rock and roll loud music! It was like a Rolling Stones Concert; definitely not a pleasant atmosphere to visit or converse . It really lowers the dining standards for a restaurant that could be considered “ upscale” . With such great staff and wonderful food, you are totally missing the mark. I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    We were cheated by the lady sommelier she lied about the wines we ordered. And the quality of the food was very very poor considering the very high prices. We were very disappointed so we advice you not to go there.

    I have been coming to Babbo for a long time and I think yesterday they had a different chef or he had an off day. I always order the same 3 dishes. The red snapper crudo was great as always. The ravioli was disappointing the pasta was too al dente. The sweetbreads ( I go to babbo for the sweetbreads) were also disappointing . The same recipe but something was different . Sauce felt gloopy not as light- cant put my finger on it. Re ambience I have always disliked the playlist but yesterday was particularly annoying. I rather not go to an Italian restaurant to listen to what felt was like an entire Bruce Springsteen album. I complained about it before and I was told the playlist was all of Mario Batali’s favorite songs. He can listen to them in his home and not subject me to them. I’m going back tonight. If the food is not hugely improved it will be my last time. Time to find a new place..

    Highly recommend. Excellent food! I had a reservation for a table, but upon arrival, I decided to sit at the bar. It is a vibe! Also, if you're a prosciutto fan, don't miss out on their San Danielli appetizer. David, the bartender, keeps the energy high and the service on point.

    Service was excellent. Great wine list. Food was exceptional. Wonderful menu. We ate upstairs and it was very loud...very difficult to have a conversation within our table of 5. We were also situated in the middle of dining area next to a serving station which likely added to the 'loud'. Would definitely go back but would request a corner table in the hopes it would be more conducive to dinner conversation.

    A warm welcome greeted us as we stepped in to be what by now feels like a familiar, old friends elegant townhouse. We were shown to a beautiful table and the magnificence ensued. Outstanding cocktails, a tasty amuse bouche and peruse of the exceptional wine list. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and professional as was our sommelier. Dinner was sublime. Everything we ordered was prepared with exceptionally high quality ingredients and integrity. Some of the finest, most authentic Italian cuisine in the City. The pairing of the wine to food was artful. Not a step out of place the entire evening. We can’t wait to return! Bravo Babbo!
