| - I am a big fan of Babbo...maybe just not this location as much as others. I am giving this location 3 stars, but mind you the location on 16th St. is deserving of 4. Guess it is all about the location in this case.
We arrived shortly after 7 pm on a Monday night. The place was packed! I really wanted to sit on the patio and eat, but apparently you can't drink alcoholic beverages outside, so inside it was.
It seemed as if they had about 4 new people starting. Our server had a shadow and he followed every action she did in succession with her moves. Slightly odd.
The bread was delivered to our table promptly. What a nice treat! I like that they sliced it up for us and brought us extras free of charge to munch on. It was fresh, warm, and had the perfect amount of baked red onions on it to add a hint of sweetness. Fear not, they also provide you with a plethora of oil and vinegar for dipping, to which I added mounds of pepper, parm cheese, and crushed red pepper to spice it up.
We decided to order a side mista salad to split with each other. It was ehhhh, but not as fresh as I have experienced before. I do really enjoy the mista salad and the variety of items that are in it. It is not just your traditional crappy house salad that you get from many other competitor restaurants.
The food took a while to arrive, so more bread was delivered in the mean time. I ordered the creamy garlic chicken and my fiance the southwestern chicken pasta. For both, the sauce could have been a little thicker, but in either case it made for great dipping of the bread. The sun dried tomatoes in my pasta were horribly sour and added a slightly funky taste to the whole meal. I settled with picking them out and the rest was okay from that point forward. I added in lots of extra parm cheese to give the sauce more thickness and ultimately provide more flavor.
I decided that I preferred the meal that my fiance ordered better than mine (I HATE when that happens!). I did notice a lack of overall ingredients such as the bell peppers and green onions, but in either case his was delicious. He mentioned that the peppers were a little undercooked and may have tasted better if they were sauteed.
Overall, not a bad experience, but I definitely prefer the alternate locations as of this point. I will definitely go back and give it a second chance and hopefully bump up my initial rating.
