Babbo's is neighborhood bistro, which means to me that they would be half a step above take out. I've only eaten here twice and I've ordered a different pasta each time. While food is nothing to write home about, the appetizers were creative and even incorporated Mid-East (hummus dip) and asian elements. The food prices were reasonable and the kids portions were generous. I wish they would expand their dessert menu since it only has three items.\n\nNevertheless, I HATE dining in here because of the wait staff.\n\nI get it -- the wait staff is young, polite, and accomodating. Then, they say/do something completely asinine that leaves you with such a horrible overall impression of this place. The last time I dined inside there were annoying flies. The waitress gave us an apology and a weird excuse - \"the area has a lot of horses so there are a lot of flies\"....ookkaay... I asked for to go boxes and she took the plates away. After sitting there for five minutes, I find out that she discarded all the food instead. $30 of barely touched food. I was annoyed but in retrospect who wants to eat food covered in flies? She was an otherwise sweet girl but next time...there won't be a next time."^^ .
