About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
Located on Waverly Place in Greenwich Village, Babbo opened to great acclaim in 1998 and is as bustling and popular as ever. It offers three-star dining that redefines and reinvents the principles of Italian cuisine for 21st century America. An epic, landmark wine list, an exciting, quintessentially New York dining room and expert, attentive and cordial service make a table at Babbo one of New York’s prized possessions.

From the OpenTable editors: You know you're going to get some of the best Italian food at this legendary Joe Bastianich haunt because it's been going strong since 1998. Babbo set the stage for contemporary fine-dining Italian restaurants in the city, and you can still expect exemplary dishes like warm lamb's tongue and citrusy sweetbreads all white seated in a Greenwich Village townhouse where Led Zeppelin and Blondie play in the background.

    Food and service were amazing! The music didn’t seem to fit vibe and was way too loud. I had dinner with my 18 year old daughter and friends and they agreed.

    Shockingly poor. Quite stunned by how awful the management team, front of house and sommelier were. A great shame really.

    Has a lot of potential. Food is very good unsure but unsure why I was paying $65 to have brusato and having listening to Pearl Jam blaring over the speakers during dinner. Obnoxiously loud and just a weird atmosphere. Sembra che questo ristorante è solo un macchina per soldi … punto
