First timer since I live in California…was craving lasagna and found Babbo and they more than satisfied the craving. Kody/Cody was our excellent server and would request his section whenever we return! Food was great! They have a private dining room and many seats so wait was fairly short.

The service here was excellent, but the food seemed a bit lacking compared to other locations. Not in taste, but in amounts. For example, my chopped chicken salad had very little chicken pieces in it. But other than that, it was a great experience

I haven’t been there in a while so we ordered from the location in Surprise DoorDash. Ordered the supreme Alfredo came same size as the kids called to see if they changed things for pick up. Customer service was absolute garbage very snobby we will not be ordering from there again I would save your money

Our first time here. The atmosphere, food, service were all excellent. My drink was made to perfection. The food was hot and flavorful. We were relaxed, and thoroughly enjoyed the entire dining experience. We will absolutely be back! The restaurant itself was clean and a great environment. Thank you Michela for the BEST service and to Ava made the best drink. Cheers

I came here for the first time Thursday, early evening, on July 3rd. The restaurant was mentioned during a conversation about Italian restaurants in the Phoenix area. I arrived just before 5:00 and was greeted. Being by myself I took a seat at the bar. While perusing the menu I asked for a water and Sprite; easy ice. What I received was a water and soda/tonic water; no syrup. I mistakenly said it was flat, but meant to say no syrup. It took some time to get it corrected. I gave my order then; starting with the Pomodoro salad, and the entree Rustico. Focaccia bread was brought with a saucer of olive oil & balsamic vinegar. I added parmigiana cheese, and noshed away while waiting. Focaccia to me is very soft, and doesn’t compare at all with Italian bread. The salad arrived, and as you see in the photos there’s two tomatoes and a slice of mozzarella. The unappealing thing about this is the tomatoes were cold. Fresh tomatoes are best at room temperature. This salad could have used more cheese too. Things improved as the entree arrived. A generous portion of penne pasta cooked al dente with a flavorful sauce, ricotta cheese, baby spinach, and mozzarella. A short break following the entree I asked about the cannolis, and ordered them. There’s three to an order, with three options, and I chose one of each. Between them the limoncello had a lot of flavor compared to the pistachio. Can’t go wrong with chocolate chip. I couldn’t finish it all, and boxed the remaining two after finishing the limoncello. My check after tax totaled $40.96. About the restaurant… it was spacious, not too bright, clean, warm, and inviting. The bar seemed rather large, and a place for accommodating take out orders from another side entrance. The restroom was clean. A bit odd having a large metal trash can. Parking is no issue as there are plenty of spaces. While it’s summer, the patio looks to offer a nice setting for outdoor dining. They have private rooms, and can accommodate all sizes of parties. I may return. Experience this restaurant for yourself. For myself I look for food that’s simple, good, not complex, and not pretentious. Italian cuisine is like that. More stars could have been earned on the bread, salad, and service that was fine; nothing stellar. ‘Buon mangiare.’

So this was our second visit, since our first visit was ok, not great – we thought we’d give it another shot. (And it was close!)
When we walked in, we waited for about 5 minutes before a host even walked up, which it was NOT busy whatsoever. I’d say 6 tables were occupied in the entire restaurant. It took another 5ish minutes to have a server come over. We placed our order by the time she came, we both ordered a salad, (mine came with it, husband’s was $7). We finally got our bread the same time our salads came. My wedge salad was delicious, full of blue cheese crumbles and real bacon but my husband had the Caesar salad and it was loaded with dressing. He said it was ok but wouldn’t order again. Literally 3 bites in, our food came. (Sigh) can’t we enjoy our salads first? I’m sorry, I’m being picky but I want to enjoy our $7 salads first since we’re paying for them. My husband said his pasta was cooked to a perfectly, the sauce was a little watery but had a nice flavor and the meat was ok (hamburger). Mine wasn’t really what I had pictured…..just a chicken breast with some mushrooms on top with other very overcooked veggies…cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots that weren’t overcooked….felt like they just forgot and sautéed for a minute and threw them on my plate! I had only taken two bites and the waitress came by and asked if we were ready for the check and a box! Ummm, I’m sure I’ll need a box…but can I at least enjoy a couple more bites? I guess we should’ve said yes, since after we were done we had to wait another 11 minutes before we even saw her come back to our side (the table next to us were also waiting for her to come back!) The restaurant is very nice inside and would be nice for a large group that wants some privacy since they have a nice large room in the back. This being the second time visiting, I don’t think we will be back. Definitely not impressed for $85.
If you do want an excellent Italian dinner – do yourself a favor and go to Portofino West! Wonderful service, explains anything to you, no pressure, and killer food!

We’ve eaten here a few times now and decided to order via DoorDash We ordered the pepperoni pizza with Salami and some garlic bread. The garlic bread was basically toast and the pizza had 3-4 pieces of salami on it with almost no pepperoni! To make matters worse it was cold when we received it and had to microwave the pizza. We have eaten in the restaurant before and it was much different from ordering. The crust was extremely thin and lots of oil as you can see from the photos.

Very friendly staff, great service & good food. We were not expecting much, but we’re presently surprised. The food was overall good, a light take on Italian staples. We were seated quickly, attended to right away and received our food fast. The prices were typical sit down restaurant ranges. We thought that for the service and food, the price was fair and plan on going back again.

Please read the entirety of this comment. Here is my SCORE:
1) Atmosphere: 4.9/5
2) Service: 4.9/5
3) Flavor: 4.5/5
4) Cost: 4.9/5
Total Score: 4.8 (4.8/5)
Excellent customer service. I cannot think about anything negative.
We ordered a Chicken Garlic Pasta, Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan, White Buffalo Chicken, Martini Pasta (roasted chicken, artichokes, and olives). They served us bread with EVOO and balsamic (it was warm and soft). We ordered salads and they were the star of the show (recommend the Caesar Salad). We ordered wine and soft drinks. Also, a baboo cookie ice cream and cannolis.
The place was absolutely beautiful inside. Love their modern, industrial design with a bit of brutalist atmosphere. The wallpaper is gorgeous. The lighting is just right. They seem to have space for special events like rehearsal dinners, office celebrations, or just big family parties. Plenty of parking. Bathrooms were cleaned.
We believe it is decently priced and the overall experience is worth coming back to. I wish the absolute best to this business!!!
Note to management: I would only suggest the kitchen to revise the flavor profile of their Chicken Garlic Pasta. I would recommend adding more salt, peppers or any sort of heat to elevate the plate.

Today was my first time in the restaurant my wife has had the food before but I’ve never been there and for my first time it was an amazing experience! Even though they were short staffed our food was still prepared in a timely manner it was hot it tasted amazing! I can’t say how good our waiter was he was so amazing he was on top of everything we needed and had our drinks out to us really fast! And the Italian sodas are to die for my gosh we had one of each one and everyone of them were amazing! I love that the restaurant is big enough to accommodate a large party to. We definitely will be back with more family and friends! Check out photos of the food that I took while we were there for my wife’s birthday!
