Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Babbo from around the web.
"The Pig Foot “Milanese” with Rice Beans and Arugula ($15) was my favorite among them. Crisp, meaty and fatty, I only thought it a bit precious for the price...."
"The duck was perfectly prepared, the breast pleasantly medium rare with crisp and flavorful skin, the leg confit-style was meltingly tender...."
"Osteria Mozza (L.A.) vs Babbo (NYC) ..."
" I enjoyed the food, but I'd focus more on the pastas. All in all, I'd say I was "whelmed". Neither overwhelmed nor underwhelmed..."
"Best known for their five-course pasta tasting menu, this is an upscale restaurant. The restaurant offers an eclectic Italian and American fare...."
"It was incredibly juicy and flavorful - grilled to perfection. The sides that accompanied it were also delicious and presentation was fantastic...."
"And then there was the pig's foot Milanese at Babbo, which is reason enough to hop on Jet Blue right now...."
"After a great first experience 3 years ago, I went back to Babbo two weeks ago and sat at the bar. While the bartender was great, I was disappointed and grossed out at having eaten what I later found out was the beak of the squid on my grilled calamari!..."
"I heard that this was the pinnacle of Italian food in New York. I made reservation about a month ahead and promised that i would get a table...."
"Our table was full with dishes like warm lamb's tongue and salumi, lamb brains, and lamb chops, sweetbreads galore, and goose liver ravioli. The grilled octopus was lovely, as was the pumpkin lune and hearty pappardelle with boar ragu...."
"At Babbo you will rarely find your favorite regional classics as you have eaten them in osterie, trattorie and ristoranti throughout Italy. What you will find is delicious simple food that hopefully tastes as good as you remember from your last visit to I..."
"The New York Times’s new restaurant critic, Frank Bruni, chose Babbo as his first review, re-affirming a three-star status first conferred by Ruth Reichl six years ago. I agree with Frank Bruni that Babbo is a bit too crowded to qualify for four sta..."
"Once we were finally seated, Babbo offered a much more refined experience. There are a lot of very good things on the menu, but on the whole I am not sure it’s worth the trouble...."
"The most exciting Italian restaurant in town serves food you'll never find in Little Italy. So do two uncomplicated floors suffused in honeyed amber light, as easy to get comfy in as a calf-skin slip-on...."
"Babbo, in Greenwich Village, serves a continental concoction, a Tuscan crostini topped with zesty anchovy and caper-laced livers...."
"After downing glasses of wine and those five amazing plates, I finally had the guts to ask for a picture only to find that Mario was err....very friendly...."
"It's no question that Batali knows how cook octopus. His octopus at Osteria Mozza is amazing. Perfectly grilled, tender and juicy. ..."
"ough I've only eaten at Babbo twice, the combination of both meals (each one involving three companions who like to share—the idea eating situation) has given me a taste of 21 dishes (including two complimentary dishes)...."
"I have to admit, I became a little apprehensive when that first plate of tagliatelle was set before me. It was a very large serving of pasta for a supposed tasting menu. Luckily, the sizes of the following dishes were much more manageable...."
