BABBO Reviews from The Last Year
First, the service was 5 star.
.. our server had been their 19 years and was fantastic. The food quality was across the board... We had high expectations for the Ossobuco which was plated beautifully but tasted dry and uninteresting... ( no, we didn't complain...) The veal and fettuccine special ($62) was amazing, rich, deep and delicious...everything you would expect from Babbo... except it came on tagliatelle sized pasta, not fettuccine. The "pappardelle bolognese" was "pretty good ", but definitely not great. Here's the BIG one though, THE MUSIC!! Babbo, what's up with the blaring, not even great choice rock? It was so out of place it was almost funny...except it was so cranking loud we couldn't hear each other laugh... or talk... or hear the server, or the Somm... I have eaten in restaurants all over the US, Italy and Australia... this was a first. Why do THAT to your guests in any fine dining restaurant before 11pm... or after for that matter?
Dinner with family
We enjoyed our dinner in this restaurant. Pierro the waiter gave us good advice. Quality products very well prepared in good quantities! I recommend
Had a lovely dinner here! It's pricey but the service is
Had a lovely dinner here! It's pricey but the service is fantastic and it's a very cute vibe. The wine list is also great. The octopus appetizer was standout - the sauce complemented the texture and flavor perfectly. For main, I had the lobster pasta, which came with a huge claw and was comforting and elegant at the same time. Would recommend - especially for a special occasion or date night.
A shop in Italy that made me cry
We were in England for 4 days and the food was not good. However, the food here is really delicious. I almost cried.
Expectations exceeded in every aspect!
Dinner is an unforgettable experience, pleasant, cozy, dishes with unique flavors and impeccable service, with excellent wines to accompany recommended by the wait staff, excellent service, prices compatible with the expectations of the dishes and service. It will be a place to visit again, for sure.
Good experience
Nice place, good food and standard treatment. Is worth. Average cost per head of 25.00 per person all included. Two glasses of wine, two first courses, a water and a coffee.
Satisfied
All perfect!!! Very precise and friendly service grilled fish Excellent Roman-style artichokes, the best I've ever eaten. Thanks for everything!!!
Amazing 😍
The waiter Pierro was very welcoming and helped us in every way... The pasta was to die for... And the meat was delicious too ! Everything is amazing 4 days in Rome and we ate 3 times already at this restaurant.. Apart from that is a good value for money. I would definitely recommend this restaurant...
Perfect
All perfect! Director Piero high professionalism and competence! We are happy and will come back one day! The best carbonara I've ever tried!
my wife and i popped in here spur of moment for a little
my wife and i popped in here spur of moment for a little nostalgia trip. used to sit at the bar for pasta tasting menu, routinely. we were younger with less experienced pallates but definitely poorer than we are today. relevant setup. $120 + $80 for wine pairing 5 pasta courses + sorbet + dessert portions were less than 1/2 size of regular pastas. 3 small raviolis of ricotta with heavy butter. fair squid ink spaghettini with crab. nice abundant lump crab but in the end a silly dish cause crab doesn't integrate into pasta or sauce. sauce was oniony then squab liver ravioli. 3 of them. unctuous. but minuscule garganelli with mushroom. the shrooms were outstanding. sauce was basically just butter. and grana padano which is kinda life too short for that. but overall this was the best course then tag bolognese which was super lame. no ragu. just like ground meat. dessert was the high point. olive oil gelato with olive oil cake topped with olive oil and maldon. totally outasite. value poor. portions lame. not happy. won't be back. end of the era and was already uncomfortable continuing to patronize the place given the former proprietor is a rapist
Buyer Beware.
4 of us were celebrating our birthdays in the city. We chose Babbo because it seemed like a nice place to go to dinner and treat ourselves. They had a menu that offered an international woman's day bottle of wine for what appeared to be $50.00 so we gave it a try. See photo below. When bill arrived, they charged us $195 for a bottle of wine because they charged us by the ounce!!!! Ridiculous. Unclear. Manager said tough luck. A small gesture on the bill would have gone along way here. Just check the menu before you make same mistake we made. Place was pretty. Food was ok. Sommelier was condescending. Smallest 2nd floor bathroom I've ever seen. Very loud. There are better choices in the city for the price point.
Like staying at home.
Very satisfied with the quality of the food and the service, especially the maitre d' stands out for its professionalism and friendliness.
Babbo's Tuna Pizza
I chose it because it was close to my hotel. I tried the pizza with tuna and red onion and I liked it very much. If I come to Rome again, it is one of the restaurants I will visit.
Excellent service and food
The service is fantastic especially if you get Suvo as your waiter he is the star. He has the most infectious laugh, is friendly and very knowledgeable of the food they offer. The food we ordered was very good, and there were six of us, ordering fish, steak, pasta and pizza. We returned with friends mainly due to Suvo and the fresh food choices offered. Can’t recommend highly enough. Lovely atmosphere and staff. Friendly helpful and excellent food.
Great food and service (big up Suvo)
Food was great and service was great. Special shoutout to our server Suvo who was the best. We went after a disappointing football loss on the Thursday night and Suvo persuaded us to come back for dinner the next evening where we had 2 friends join us!
Good all round.
Its difficult to pick a restaurant in Rome on a shortish stay but we all wanted to go back to this one and it did not disappoint. Lovely food, atmosphere and value and Suvo is just great fun.
Food was amazing definitely reckons coming here, everything
Food was amazing definitely reckons coming here, everything was awesome, the service was perfect, and the bread was amazing.
Would highly recommend
The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food and wine were amazing . We passed this on our way to the hotel and came back for dinner . We were so happy we did as this was probably one of our best meals in Rome while there . They were very accommodating to my dairy allergy and great with the kids . They even had a kids menu !
Exceptional seafood restaurant
Exceptional seafood restaurant with great service by Piero and team. We got the Sicilian fish to share between two and it was an amazing experience from choosing the fish from the platter to watching the fish be served. Piero provided a great memorable experience, one of the best service we have had in Europe and would highly recommend.
My dad took me to Babbo when he was in town because it was
My dad took me to Babbo when he was in town because it was one of his favorites when he lived in the city in the early 2000s! It was incredibly classy and my favorite part was the super knowledgable sommelier. The wine list was extensive and the sommelier was incredibly helpful in educating us about our options. We got tons of food, lots of appetizers, a salad, and then pasta for me. This was a little while ago so I can't fully recall what I got, but I remember really enjoying the food! Its a Greenwich Village staple and has kept up the quality of its food and service for so long, definitely worth a try at least once if you're in the city.
Charged me cancellation and was so rude over the phone when
Charged me cancellation and was so rude over the phone when I explained my boyfriend had covid.
To start, the food is excellent.
It is what you would expect from fine dining experience. What separates these establishments is the overall experience. That is where Babbo falls short. We felt rushed from the moment we sat down, we almost felt as if they over booked and were rushing us out. As we made clear from our pace, we wanted to slow things down and enjoy the evening. To be clear, our expectation wasn't to spend all night, but 2 or 2.5 hours which is reasonable for 3 people in my view. Additionally, the volume and selection of music was inappropriate. It wasn't blasting but it was noticeable and unpleasant selection. I really liked the food but the overall experience fell short. This was my third and last visit here. There are too other better choices to return here..
Food uneven.
The lamb tongue was good, but we had to send back the lobster spaghetttoni. The lobster pieces were overcooked and NOT fresh. The sauce also too thick Ambiance. The place was bombarded w exceptionally loud disco "music", 108 dbm,It affected the mood and the appetite. We requested to be seated at a quieter spot but the request was NOT honored. They attempted to lower the noise, but was still way too loud. Our waiter tried his best to mitigate the situation and was attentive . The management spoiled our evening by ignoring our request!
My friend booked a table for 5 people 1 month ago,
My friend booked a table for 5 people 1 month ago, specifically requesting the 7 fishes menu for Christmas Eve. When we arrived at the restaurant we discovered that the menu had not been reserved for us, that it was finished (at 8 pm, dinner time?!) , but that we could take dishes from the menu that were the same as the fixed price menu. Are you kidding us? So the dishes were there and the menu was not finished, it was finished at the fixed price. What a joke! We asked for explanations first to the waiter who proposed us the 375 dollars menu instead of 7 fishes menu at 135 (what?!) and then to the manager: really unpleasant, rude staff who invented a thousand excuses without logic (the menu was finished but the dishes were available on the menu, we had to pay a fee - never mentioned- to reserve the fixed menu etc.). No fee was mentioned on the website to reserve the 7 fishes menu, the restaurant called 2 times to confirm the reservation and did not say anything about this fee, despite the fact that we have requested the 7 fishes menu also over the phone. We felt scammed. Since it was Christmas Eve we stayed to have dinner because it was too late to change restaurant: food was disgusting, not fresh and overpriced, 2 people of my group had food poisoning that night, tables were to close, I could hear also whispers from the table behind me! Very rude staff. Never again. Do yourself a favor and don't go, spend your money somewhere else.
Don't want to be sanctimonious, but i have eaten here close
Don't want to be sanctimonious, but i have eaten here close to 100 times (live in the WV and either get delivery or eat out - every night), and tonight was the worst dining experience of my life. Food is always great, but Nico (I think the manager), is a joke. He is really smug and dismissive. A lot of layers here, but the only one worth commenting on is that my wife has a severe nut allergy (that we informed the restaurant about, and they acknowledged), but they still served her a dessert with nuts as part of the Christmas Eve 7 fish tasting menu (which we had to fight to get, despite having a 5:30 reservation with two 3 year olds that I called about 3 times to be sure no issues and that we would get the tasting menu). A server came rushing out about 5 minutes after we got the dessert to inform us it had nuts (good thing - my wife only ate half of it - absurd). When we expressed this to Nico, he said, "you want to talk about this outside?" I said "are you kidding me?" Bastianich - Fire this bozo. This negligent service is unacceptable.
I first came to this restaurant shortly after it opened so
I first came to this restaurant shortly after it opened so probably around 1999 or so. I've been coming back occasionally since then. It deserves 5 stars just for the consistency of the food and service over the years. There are things to quibble about - the music is not great, the food is probably not the absolute best you can get in NYC, it's pretty touristy - but there's a reason it's been around for so long.

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

Last Reply by 👻 @EnjoyableJelly34 (11/14/2022 12:34 pm)5 Thumbs Up2 Replys, 0 commentsWhose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??

Best answer by 👻 @HandsomeCollar14 (06/29/2022 11:31 am)4 Thumbs Up6 Answers, 3 commentsWorking on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Best answer by 🥷🏻 @ColorfulRod45 (09/18/2021 1:07 am)3 Thumbs Up1 Answer, 2 commentsWhere do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
Best answer by 🦩 @FluffyStar64 (07/13/2021 9:05 pm)3 Thumbs Up12 Answers, 2 commentsWhat happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
