“I had the beef cheek ravioli and the tortellini, both of which were exceptional.”

“It’s so bad. Really bad. Undercooked pasta, rubbery octopus, over salted, half empty. Really a shell of itself.”

“All 3 pastas I had were disappointing (goat cheese tortellini, lobster busieta, rabbit cavatelli was definitely the biggest let down, the sauce was watery like store bought) but the crudo trio was good, the vitello tonnato and the fried sweatbreads were good but missing something, some character, and the warm lambs tongue with truffled mushrooms was super good! I’d order that again any day, but I’m not sure I’ll go back at that price point with so many misses.”

“So my first thoughts in that price range (which is a pretty broad range) would be Babbo (if the crowd is ok with a more boisterous setting), Ai Fiori, or Marea.”

H2
“Babbo has the BEST olive oil cake.. I go there just for that.”

“For something a bit nicer and more creative, but still not fine dining, Babbo. There are always veg options, and a very good BTG (well, technically by-the-quartino) list.”
H2
“I feel like Babi took a real nose dive after Mario left. This is based on about four meals that I had there . two before and two after.”

“Their 100 layer lasagne is great”

“Joe Bastianich’s massive ego has ruined Babbo. Can’t attract competent chef’s to work for that alcoholic tyrant, and he forces the restaurant to blare offensively loud rock music in the restaurant on the weekends. I’ve stopped going until he pulls his head out of his ass or sells the restaurant”
