  • I was excited to try Babbo at the new location on Ray/Rural, never having been. Husband and I were told that they had been open three weeks. We got there around 5:30 on a Friday night and although the bar was jammed, the dining room was way open. We sat down and perused the menu. Kasey, our server, was funny and entertaining. She recommended the white sangria from Babbo's extensive wine list. (lots of cocktails, red/white wine, some premium liquor). Nice happy hour specials for the bar/patio only, but Kasey extended them to us although we were seated elsewhere. Nice touch. The service was amazing fast. We got both entrees in ten minutes. For the record, the sangria was excellent but that's where it all stopped. The focaccia sticks that came with dinner were greasy and limp. Our entrees (chicken limone and chicken jambalaya) were just okay. We have had much better elsewhere. Since I am cutting carbs, I asked for the limone dish served on a bed of asparagus which was offered on the menu. Kasey told me no but she could get me broccoli instead. Instead of arguing, I agreed. Perhaps they were out of asparagus? My dish arrived with about five small broccoli florets. Hmmmm....is broccoli THAT expensive? For the price, I expected more. Not Buca di Beppo-sized entrees but maybe Rigatoni-sized? And why is there no lasagna on the menu? There is spaghetti and meatballs as well as many other standard dishes, but no lasagna, always a good test of an Italian restaurant for me. By the time we were ready to go, the place was packed with many poor people sitting out in the heat. So sad Babbo didn't plan for the overflow better. (On a side note, husband says that the men's room is nicely appointed, marble sinks and all.) While I might go back for happy hour for the specials, ($4.00 for a big sangria!) I would not go back for dinner. We both felt the menu was overpriced for the quality and quantity of food served. It's back to Rigatoni's for us!
