From the OpenTable editors: 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 while seated in a Greenwich Village townhouse where Led Zeppelin and Blondie play in the background.

    We told theme we had a time constraint. Left us sitting w dirty dishes, from app course, for 20 minutes. Completely absent server. Mains came out exactly when we had said we need to leave. The maitre d insisted it was our responsibility to have made sure our meal came out ina timely manner…. We were supposed to manage the kitchen?

    I have to say for the first time ever, last night was an awful experience. As usual the wine and service was great and that is truly the only highlight of our evening. Not even dessert made a difference.

    Food was out of this world, ambiance stellar, and of course the experience was next level. On top of that, our waiter Joseph was OUTSTANDING. I’ve traveled the world for food and wine - this place, plus Joseph’s stewardship captaining the experience, was actually magical So, I’d recommend it :)

    Food and service was fair at best. Expected a lot more based on the prices charged. Portion size was fine, but the food was nothing special. Better choice and price point is Luppa

    Very good service and food. Staff was amazing. However their music choice and volume was unbearable. Apparently since the owner is/was part of a rock band they were playing rock music at high volumes. After several conversations we were able to get the volume down so we can hear each other over dinner. Staff reported that this was an issue in the past with several guests. Terrible for a restaurant to do this for an expensive meal.
