About Babbo

Babbo, one of New York’s most iconic Italian restaurants, returns to its historic Greenwich Village carriage house with renewed spirit. Since 1998, Babbo has redefined fine dining with bold regional Italian flavors, unexpected ingredients, and a classic rock backdrop. Now, under Executive Chef Mark Ladner, the next chapter blends old-world hospitality with playful tableside presentations in an intimate, candlelit dining room.

Cuisine

Babbo offers bold regional Italian flavors with unexpected ingredients, featuring dishes like Beef Cheek Ravioli and the Goat Cheese Tortelloni. Highlights include finfish crudo in Venetian glass and a saffron panna cotta finale served tableside.
