Michelle D.September 20, 2015Do the tasting menu with wine pairings. No need to worry about anything else.
Ado HernandezFebruary 28, 2020Excelent! If you aré looking for something truly Italian.. this is the place
CompassJuly 24, 2013Mario Batali’s stunning Italian cooking at his West Village outpost is everything a foodie dreams of.
EpicuriousAugust 23, 2010The semolina budino is a mystery: is it cake, souffle, or pudding? The answer: the best of all three! Try it with its rhubarb-mint marmellata for foodie nirvana.
Tasting TableJune 25, 2012For lunch, sample the black spaghetti, which is walloped with fennel, jalapeños, bottarga and the crunch of toasted breadcrumbs: Read more
Aleah NicholeSeptember 27, 2017Really disappointing!! Garganelli, black pasta and casunzei all were lacking flavor and seasoning. And my husbands braised beef was very under seasoned and bland. Sadly this place did not deliver. 😕
Rumana SiddikyAugust 4, 2010If you're there the few weeks out of the year that they have their special $15 greenmarket strawberries that grow in the dark gelato, get it. And pay the extra $15 for the 25 year old balsamic drizzl
Stephen BlakeDecember 25, 2015I mostly take back my previous review because for an hour now they've been playing Beck. 👍🏻
Anna FolarosMay 28, 2013Make sure you go with unlimited amount of time and patience! Good food but by far the least impressive out of the Batali empire.
Andrea MonniDecember 24, 2014Very well executed Italian fare but nothing too interesting or to rave about. Come here if you like consistency and you don't like surprises.
Darren LachtmanFebruary 24, 2013Check Babbo twitter feed for day of cancellations and open tables....skip the month wait then order the beef cheek ravioli...
MazdaNovember 19, 2010Babbo Ristorante e Enoteca, opened by Mario Batali and Joseph Bastianich in June 1998, is an exuberant celebration of the best of Italian food, wine and lifestyle.
Sarah NamSeptember 19, 2013Get the beef cheek ravioli!! And the special grape bellini was sooooo good
Alice EunjinApril 28, 2015"enjoy a bowl of chianti-stained pappardelle with wild boar ragu or fennel-dusted sweetbreads." - thrillist

Chris BishkoAugust 17, 2010My favorite Italian in NYC - amazing food and classic hip atmosphere, particularly like the rock and alternative music ambiance
Try the Bucatini Alla'amatriciana - My least favorite dish of the night, but still better than most pastas I've ever had.
NY Waterway ManagerAugust 2, 2012The Garganelli with Funghi Trifolati pasta is a mouth watering treat! Nice atmosphere and exceptional service.
bolandFebruary 8, 2013Best thing on the menu is the pistachio semifreddo, make sure you leave room for this
Joe BastianichMay 2, 2012My favorite dish here is the Squab. Want pasta? Order the goose liver ravioli - nothing else like it.
Andrew SheppardNovember 22, 2014Didn't live up to my memory or my expectations. Octopus was amazing but the beef tongue was too thick. If stacked it would have looked like a real tongue. Yuck!
Terry SmithJune 13, 2011Expensive but food was too die for. Loved the mushroom pasta and the pork. Have to get the chocolate hazelnut cake! Read more
Doris CMarch 3, 2010The pasta tasting menu is a great way to go if it's your first time. Otherwise, there has not been anything I've tried that I have not loved!
- Try the Warm Apple And Fig Budino - Hesitated to order dessert, but I'm glad we did. Amazing!
- Perfect place to go in to eat at the bar. The pumpkin pasta is to die for.
