Part of STARR Restaurants

One of New York’s most iconic Italian restaurants returns to its historic Greenwich Village carriage house with a renewed spirit. In 1998, Babbo pioneered a new style of fine dining by defying convention with bold interpretations of regional Italian dishes, embracing off-beat ingredients, and serving it all to a classic rock soundtrack. Under the guidance of Executive Chef Mark Ladner, this next chapter continues the celebration of old-world hospitality and New Yorkers’ zeal for dining out, defined by lively tableside presentations rooted in whimsy rather than formality, all within an intimate candlelit dining room. The menu balances beloved traditions like the Pasta Tasting with new signatures shaped by Ladner’s decades-long study of Italian cooking and New York’s global palates. Think chilled Venetian glass bowls of local fin fish crudo, a 49-day minestrone, and the revered 100-layer lasagna with a Detroit-style finish. A sweet finale comes by way of the transcendent saffron panna cotta and zabaglione spooned tableside from a copper tureen.
