Great little Italian place in the heart of historic downtown. Very good food and the service was spectacular. I can highly recommend this place I can't wait to go back. The tiramisu was off the chain good , one of the best I have had.

We are so happy to have Babbo as a delicious dinner option! Sarah made the experience fantastic and deserves 5 stars! She happily accommodated our dietary needs and had great suggestions for our group.We are excited to try them again and have only one suggest and that is to soften the interior dining lights...and maybe a candle or two for the tables.They have something for everyone and we hope they'll add lunch soon too!

I celebrated my birthday at Babbo's with good friends and family. Could not have asked for better! Great food, our server (Melissa) was wonderful and overall just a fantastic dining experience. Babbo came out to check on us as well. Can't wait for warmer weather to try more dishes out on the patio!

Every member of our group of seven greatly enjoyed the experience and the meal at Babbo Italian Kitchen. Service was excellent - friendly, quick and attentive. The food was delicious. We had a variety of menu and special items and enjoyed them all. Even Babbo himself came to check on us. I had the special linguini with salmon and lemon butter sauce. WINNER! I look forward to going in warmer weather to sit on the beautiful patio. Definitely worth a return trip!

Having spent 20 years in Manhattan exposed to the best food on earth, we were hoping Babbo was not a disappointment. It was not. Great cocktails and food was perfectly cooked and tasty, though osso bucco wasn't available, we found other selections that were awesome. And it's great to see the kitchen in action from the sidewalk.Hope Babbo is in business for a long time. Very pleased.

The food was freshly prepared, and looked pleasing to the eye. All plates were delicious & fresh especially the seafood except with crab. Shelled crab get rank fast after it leaves its shell. The restaurant was packed with large & small groups. The guests were pleased overall and laughter was in the air. Cocktails were delicious. Will definitely be back soon! I walked through the courtyard to look at the wood fire oven. There was a gentleman chilling in the corner on his phone. He got up & looked at me, but never approached the window after I tapped it. I guess he was on break!

Absolutely stellar dinner. The lasagne was perfect. They have an extensive wine list and the ambiance is relaxing, warm and inviting. Service was impeccable and we will absolutely be back again.

Terrible pizza. Cold pizza. And hardly any cheese. What in the world I was so disappointed. On a bright note the salad was good and the atmosphere was great, but the food not so much.
