I must say I love love love the meatballs. On our bimonthly dinner outing with my mother, we picked Italian and she suggested we come to Babbo's as i am always reluctant to try new Italian places because of my Italian heritage has set the bar really high, and most Italian seem to disappoint. I must say Babbo's did not disappoint me.
We came on a Tuesday night which is spaghetti and meatball special night, and all though the restaurant was very busy, I feel the service was great. As busy as Scott (our server) was he was very attentive. Scott was knowledgeable of his menu and of the restaurant. Great job, cause he was able to accommodate my demanding mom.
We did not know of the special before we came, and as we where being seated I notice a lot of people had "the special" I ask our waiter if it was the special and he told us on Monday/Tuesday nights that's what the special was.
What I noticed about "the special" was the meatballs were huge, and the spaghetti had an ample amount of sauce in and on the spaghetti which I love, because it all about the the sauce. which was a very simple great favored sauce. It was so good I got 2 additional "specials" TOGO.
I have to be honest after finding out what the special was I did not look at most of the menu, but the pricing seemed very fair overall. And i guess i will just have to go again to try other dishes.
I gave 5 stars because my overall experience was great.
The only compliant I have is the add on salad is $3.95 and is super tiny. And it is a reach out to management to make the salad less expense or make it bigger.
I am glad to see that they have location in the northwest metro phoenix area since we live in the southwest area of metro phoenix. If you would open in the Goodyear/Avondale area I promise to become a regular
