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.
The menu pairs traditions like the Pasta Tasting with new signatures inspired by Ladner’s decades of Italian cooking and New York’s global palate. Highlights include fin fish crudo in Venetian glass, a 49-day minestrone, the 100-layer Detroit-style lasagna, and a saffron panna cotta finale with zabaglione served tableside.
