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.

this one may be obvious, but it really is worth experiencing at least once. you have to get a reservation in advance a month to the date you want to dine. try the mint love letters. Read more

The Garganelli with Funghi Trifolati pasta is a mouth watering treat! Nice atmosphere and exceptional service.

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

Pappardelle with white truffle and lamb chops
Andrew SheppardNovember 22, 2014
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!

Try the Warm Apple And Fig Budino - Hesitated to order dessert, but I'm glad we did. Amazing!
Nick RunyanNovember 28, 2014
Sit at the bar and stick to the pasta and you'll be happy.

Squid ink pastas the best dish in NYC

My favorite dish here is the Squab. Want pasta? Order the goose liver ravioli - nothing else like it.
Darren LachtmanFebruary 24, 2013
Check Babbo twitter feed for day of cancellations and open tables....skip the month wait then order the beef cheek ravioli...

Babbo is lauded as Mario Batali's favorite of his restaurants, and diners would agree with its original and memorable Italian dishes.

Expensive but food was too die for. Loved the mushroom pasta and the pork. Have to get the chocolate hazelnut cake! Read more
Aleah NicholeSeptember 27, 2017
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. 😕
CompassJuly 24, 2013
Mario Batali’s stunning Italian cooking at his West Village outpost is everything a foodie dreams of.

Get this wine - 2004 Castillo de verdeno barbaresco - amazing!!

My favorite Italian in NYC - amazing food and classic hip atmosphere, particularly like the rock and alternative music ambiance

Try the gnocchi with oxtail. And enjoy the cookies/biscotti they give you at the end of the meal.
Ruel TyerDecember 11, 2018
Pork chop was excellent! Wonderful wine list.

Really great pasta and beef tongue appetizer.

Have you been to Marea? See you there. Highlight of the night, Red Hot Chilli Peppers album playing.
Doris CMarch 3, 2010
The 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!

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.

The black spaghetti with rock shrimp was a bit tasteless. The place is cozy, but the music is very loud and doesn't match the ambience.
Peter PreislerJanuary 18, 2020
Pasta tasting menu with wine pairing. What’s not to like?
