I had a chance to eat at Babbo with a couple of old friends from high school last night and it was very enjoyable! We met up at 5:30; the place was packed but my savvy friends were waiting at the bar.with wine glasses in hand and names on the list . We were seated promptly and commenced to catching up. While looking st the menu.
Contrary to what previous helpers have said, service was attentive and pacing was good. Friend 1 had penne with vodka sauce, friend 2 had pasta with a lovely cream sauce, and I had spaghetti and meatballs All dishes were pronounced tasty and portions were large enough to take home leftovers .
I rarely eat pasta but I can happily recommend Babbo for pricing, service, and palate-pleasing. Everything was yummy and our party spent less than 25 dollars each including wine and tip.
Babbo is a place worth trying!
