    Great experience, wine deal was a steal. Octopus and steaks were great. Waiter was polite but had a large section on a chaotic night so I feel for him. Very professional and energetic place.

    Everything here was amazing. Food exceeded expectations and staff were super friendly. We barely waited longer than anyone else and they gave us free dessert and sake on the house! Will absolutely go back! Also very pretty inside and able to actually talk to my table without issue!

    We were warmly welcomed, enjoyed aperitifs at the bar, and then went upstairs for our Pasta Tasting menu with wine pairings. It was heavenly from beginning to end! Kudos to our attentive and friendly staff, who described each course in detail, as well as describing each wine pairing. Special thanks to Henry, our primary server, who made each course extra special and described each wine pairing. The wait staff was professional. welcoming, and added extra charm to the evening. For me, it was the kick-off to my birthday season, full of delight and delectable food and wine. Babbo deserves every accolade in the book, except for too-dim lighting. Can't wait to return! Mille grazie!!!
