    The 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.

    Do the tasting menu with wine pairings. No need to worry about anything else.

    Really 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. 😕

    If 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

    Babbo 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.

    Very well executed Italian fare but nothing too interesting or to rave about. Come here if you like consistency and you don't like surprises.

    Make sure you go with unlimited amount of time and patience! Good food but by far the least impressive out of the Batali empire.

    Try the Bucatini Alla'amatriciana - My least favorite dish of the night, but still better than most pastas I've ever had.

    Didn'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!
