I am writing this review as I suffer from food coma. I just left Babbo after chowing down a big bowl of pasta, bread and spring mix salad. Let's say my lunch meeting went by well.
What I love about Babbo is the variety of options to choose from. If you feel like pasta one day you can grab a bowl. If you feel like pizza they have different pizzas to choose from in various different sizes. Then if you feel like salad or adding a salad they have a nice selection of salads to choose from.
I am a boring pasta, pizza and salad person. My order looks like something you would request for your kids. I am still hooked on the traditional marinara pasta in a bowl. No meat or cheese. Just the sauce. This is the ONLY restaurant that has ever got it right and it taste good every time. The Spring Mix Salad is my absolute favorite pick on the menu. That dressing tops it off but something about the sweet golden raisins they add. The bread well that is a whole different story. I have this theory if a restaurants bread does not taste good how can the food. Babbo has mastered the bread. Let's say you will fight over the last piece with your guest that is how good it is. They provide you with oil and vinegar to dip it that makes the bread melt in your mouth.
I have used Babbo in the past for catering for large parties. They have never made a mistake and the food is always looks like a presentation out of a magazine. That has only helped me look good at work. Defiantly an establishment you can trust for large catering needs.
It has been amazing watching this Italian Eatery grow. I saw this restaurant move in to my neighborhood then had a dining experience at the Women's Expo many years ago that had me sold. They have a dynamic culture which is why there service is always great. Along with a hip menu that is mighty tasty.
