" Had a mixed experience at Babbo. The ambiance was lovely, very cozy and romantic. However, my chicken alfredo was bland and the pasta felt soft. Luckily, the service was attentive, which is always a plus. I might consider coming back, but only if someone suggests it or as a last resort. I expected more authenticity from the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came with a large group to Babbo Italian Eatery, and we were all excited about the dinner options. The highlight for me was definitely the pasta dishes; they tasted homemade and comforting. However, the service was a bit slow, likely due to our size and the restaurant getting busier. Despite that, I appreciated the manager checking on us. I'd love to return of course, just perhaps not on a weekend with a big party. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my dining experience here. The appetizers were delicious, especially the bruschetta which burst with flavors. I tried the four-cheese pasta dish, and while it was tasty, I expected a more vibrant taste from a quality Italian restaurant. Service was attentive, and food was out quickly, which I appreciated. Overall, I liked the place and would return to try other items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely adored Babbo! The pasta primavera was a riot of flavors and textures, perfectly cooked and fresh. The complimentary bread was delightful as well! My dining companion tried the eggplant parmesan and devoured it. Service was on point; attentive without being intrusive. This is definitely a recommendation for Italian lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Babbo left me with mixed feelings. While the ambiance was warm and inviting, the food didn't meet my high expectations set by other reviews. My chicken parmesan was overly breaded, lacking in flavor. The service was decent; the waitstaff was friendly but our food took forever to arrive. Hopefully, my next visit will yield better results as the place is highly recommended. " (*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*)
