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 white seated in a Greenwich Village townhouse where Led Zeppelin and Blondie play in the background.

We were warmly welcomed, enjoyed aperitifs at the bar, and then went upstairs for our Pasta Tasting menu with wine pairings. It was heavenly from beginning to end! Kudos to our attentive and friendly staff, who described each course in detail, as well as describing each wine pairing. Special thanks to Henry, our primary server, who made each course extra special and described each wine pairing. The wait staff was professional. welcoming, and added extra charm to the evening. For me, it was the kick-off to my birthday season, full of delight and delectable food and wine. Babbo deserves every accolade in the book, except for too-dim lighting. Can't wait to return! Mille grazie!!!

It was my birthday and they charged us for the dessert but they did right happy birthday on the plate. There was also a candle so I guess it was somewhat of a celebration. Not like most restaurants that at least give you a scoop of ice cream on your birthday.

Professional & attentive sommelier, Octopus app was delicious, perfectly cooked but sauce a little tangy for my partner’s taste Pasta entrees of beef cheek ravioli & tagliatelle with oxtail ragu were both phenomenal but small in portion. Tiramisu was spongy, dry & unfortunate and the prime reason for 4stars vs 5!

The service was terrible. The waiter never even smiled once the food was mediocre for the price. We were recommended this restaurant as we’re staying at the Pierrre hotel and they mentioned it’s one of the finest. We were very disappointed and would not recommend anyone to spend the money or go out of their way to come to this restaurant!

Lovely restaurant and excellent service. The wagyu beef carpaccio (appetizer) was delicious. For our main, my husband ordered the fettuccine special with veal and I ordered the short rib. While the fettuccine dish was good, was disappointed in the short rib, it was dry (would not recommend). The olive oil cake and gelato dessert was very good, the sea salt surprisingly went very well with the gelato. Overall would still recommend, but perhaps stick with the pasta dishes.
