The Corcoran GroupAugust 1, 2013If it's Batali, you know it's going to be great. We live for the gnocchi here.
Jay ShawMay 14, 2011Simple food. Stripped classics. Perfectly proportioned. Thanks, Mario! (Side note- I tried chicken for the first time in over five years here. Hallelujah!!!)
Try expertly excluded house made salumi. You won't find anything like this anywhere else in New York!
Rasmus FogedMay 20, 2013Very great food, even better service. Be sure to call in advance - tables are blocked quickly.
Alex HayworthJune 19, 2017Batali joint. If you want Italian, start here, or at Otto. Made me appreciate tartufo.
Joe BastianichMay 2, 2012Best to make a reservation, especially on weekends.

Nacho RettallyFebruary 14, 2014Everything is amazing. Marvelous food. But music selection is somewhat... er... not cool.
Patrick AustAugust 6, 2014Went for an ok Aglio e Olio, but the desert cheese selection was great. Didn't check out the wine menu
All the pastas are exceptional, especially the carbonara!
definitely one of the top Italian places to eat in the city and a great date night place!

Thompson HotelsJune 7, 201160 Thompson concierge Paul says to think of Lupa as Babbo's little brother. Try going for lunch- it’s easier to get a table.
Go on a Wednesday night and get the duck special. Outstanding.
