One of the best Italian restaurants in NYC! World class handmade pastas made with precision and expertise. Legendary chef Mark Ladner at the helm. Flawless service and beautiful charming ambiance. A must go to restaurant.

Staff was wonderful – super friendly and helpful. And as a solo diner I was made to feel especially welcome which I always appreciate. The ambiance/vibe is a little too old school/corporate for me but I’m sure this is going to be a very popular spot for business/client dinners etc. I ordered the fish crudo (3 types), the vongole pasta, the zabaglioni and I had two glasses of wine. It was good but not remarkable. The highlight for me was the cheese served with the bread at the start of the meal. I believe it was mascarpone and it was absolutely scrumptious.

This restaurant is spectacular. It is excellence to a T. The service is warm! The food is amazing. Definitely get the 100 layer lasagna, the angry lobster, the bee pollen tortellini! We also enjoyed the broccolini and the escarole salad. The broccolini side was the best broccolini I’ve ever had. The panna cotta was amazing. This place is definitely for the cultured person

Outstanding Italian cuisine at this revived NYC classic. The décor is elegant and timeless, complemented by attentive, engaging service. Each dish features sublime flavor combinations that elevate it far beyond its menu description. A perfect setting for a special celebration. Babbo’s return to the NYC dining scene firmly re-establishes it as an unmissable staple.

On the outside, it appears to be a humble, even ordinary Greenwich Village establishment, but when you walk inside it’s a gorgeous experience that delivers the strengths of fine dining without the usual stuffiness. The service is extraordinary, the food is excellent, and the ambiance is second to none. Highly recommend the bee pollen goat cheese torteloni. The lasagna is excellent too if you have 3-4 people. Will definitely return

Extraordinarily bad food here, the ceviche is jammed into little holes and didn’t taste fresh at all, possibly the worst ceviche we’ve had in a long time. The clam volgone was inedible, the clams old and fishy smelling. The pappardelle bolognese was decent, but the noodles super tiny, as was the portion. We asked about the lobster pasta dish, they said it was mildly spicy but it was very spicy, so we couldn’t eat that either.

The server was completely uniformed about the food, took away our plates before we had finished eating, gave us a check while we were still eating dessert? The place wasn’t that crowded either.

Didn’t feel at all like the old Babbo, one of New York’s great restaurants in the past, although it looked the same. The bathrooms are still terrible, nothing was done there.

Most astonishing was the $233 bill and feeling like we hadn’t eaten anything. This place felt like it was making money off of old memories, not bringing back an old great restaurant.

The new Babbo was “ok”. We ordered a number of different pastas. The linguini was delicious and the rest were good but not as memorable as other similarly difficult to get reservations. Won’t be rushing to go back

Stepped into Babbo with some great memories of the old days there… the atmosphere still hits and the service was great but the food isn’t quite there yet. Might just be some opening jitters — I’m planning on coming back in a few months.

I have to say, that everything here was good. We enjoyed our dinner here. Pasta’s were very good. Ambiance was romantic/ good nyc vibe. No complaints on Service. The only reason I cant give this place higher the 3 stars is purely the prices. Prices at nyc restaurants are just getting out of hand in my opinion. $95 veal chop, $150 steak, etc… yeah, I know I dont have to go out or order these items. Its just that these same dishes just a few years ago were 30-40% less. Now appetizers are the prices of what entrees were years ago and entrée prices are outrageous! So when you get the check at the end of a nice dinner out , now you just begin thinking… was that really worth it?

I’ve lost count of how many meals I enjoyed at the original Babbo, and the reboot not only lives up to its legendary reputation but manages to surpass it. Every dish was perfectly executed: the escarole salad, sweetbreads, lobster busiate, rabbit ragu cavatelli—it will be difficult not to repeat this order when I return, much as the rest of the menu is equally tempting. The cocktails were equally delicious (espresso and tomato martinis—and to clarify, these are two different drinks).

The redesign is elegant but not stuffy, intimate yet lively. Service was seamless, attentive, and warm, which tends to be rare during opening week. A special thanks to Jimmy, Radu, and the delightful hostess (whose name I regret not getting). It was an absolute pleasure meeting you all—truly class acts.

Long story short, Babbo 2.0 is phenomenal. Run, don’t walk.
