| - My husband and I ordered food togo tonight, neither of us have ever eaten at Babbos and we received a coupon in the mail so thought we'd give it a shot. The verdict, it satisfied our hunger but nothing more. It's not memorable and sadly we will not return.
We ordered the cheese bread (FYI it has mayo on it, yuck), neopolitan pizza, and rustico pasta. We also got the zeppole for dessert. We live .8 miles from this restaurant and when we arrived the girl at the counter let us know we were just waiting on the Pizza. Our pasta and everything else was ready when we arrived and we waited at least 10 minutes for the pizza. So, when we got home our food was luke warm at best. My husband was so grossed out that the bread had mayo on it. The menu does not list this on there. I called the restaurant to see if it did in fact have mayo and the kid had to go ask someone, he came back to the phone and confirmed, yes it's a garlic mayo spread. Well that was $8+ straight in the trash, my husband wouldn't touch it! The pizza was mediocre at best. It really lacked any sort of flavor. The pasta was room temp and grainy; room temp from being ready well before the pizza and grainy from the ricotta?. Needless to say we both thought the best part of the meal was the FREE bread, (ciabatta maybe) they gave us. That was soooooo good. The Zeppole was just OK, but I do believe if it's ordered in house and consumed right away, it's probably fantastic. I really wanted to like this place since it's so close to home, but unfortunately we'll be going elsewhere.
