" Wow! Babbo's Italian Eatery exceeded my expectation! Our server was knowledgeable and very friendly. The place had a great vibe match. The spaghetti is a must, and their garlic bread is fantastic! The dessert? Heaven on a plate! I had a wonderful time and cannot wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a family dinner at Babbo and it was delightful! The complimentary bread served with olive oil was the perfect start. I ordered the penne vodka, and it was creamy and satisfying, but the portion sizes were generous enough that I took home half! The service was friendly, and our server was quick to attend to our needs. My family enjoyed it thoroughly and would love to come back for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" Babbo was an excellent choice after a long day out. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, perfect for enjoying some Italian comfort food. The service was friendly, though they were a little busy when we arrived. I tried the fettuccine Alfredo, which didn’t quite meet my representative expectations of freshness as I wanted. A bit on the heavier side but still enjoyable. I plan to return to try their pizzas next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Babbo’s is definitely one of my new go-to places for Italian food! The appetizers were fantastic — especially the calamari! I tried their lasagna and it was downright delightful. Rich, cheesy, and a sizable portion for the price. However, the service did take a bit to get our drinks. Despite that, the wait wasn't too bothersome since the atmosphere was pleasant. I will recommend this place to my friends and plan to return with my family next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Babbo is highly overrated in my opinion. I tried their meatball sub, and it was bland and just lacked seasoning. The service was subpar—the waitstaff seemed rushed. The restaurant itself was nice, but if the food doesn't have flavor, what's the point? I probably won’t be visiting again, it just didn't live up to my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time dining at Babbo, and I wasn’t disappointed! The spaghetti and meatballs were hearty and flavorful, making me feel like I was back in Italy. The waiter was friendly but seemed overwhelmed at times, which led to a longer-than-expected wait for our entrees. But once the food arrived, it was worth the wait! The ambience was relaxing—perfect for a date night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience was mixed at Babbo. On one side, the atmosphere is charming and cozy, with lovely decor. However, my risotto was not great—too creamy and lacked seasoning. My partner enjoyed his chicken piccata immensely, pointing out the quality of the capers. The service was friendly but a bit slow. Overall, I'd say it's worth trying! " (*Curated Review*)
