History

Mario Batali and Joseph Bastianich are the creators and owners of this traditional Italian restaurant. The hope for the restaurant was that it would use the best local ingredients to create simple dishes that created a real Italian experience for anyone who dined there.

This restuarant has had sensational acclaim since it opened in 1998. Awards include the James Beard Foundation's "The Best New Restaurant of 1998" award as well as various reviews including Ruth Reichl at the New York Times who awarded Babbo with three stars. The restaurants popularity has held strong throughout the years as is shown by a re-review by Frank Bruni who maintained Babbo’s three-star six years later after it's original opening. 2005 marks the year Babbo received a prestigious one-star rating by the New York Michelin Restaurant Guide. That same year Babbo was also awarded the IVY Award by Restaurants & Institutions. Babbo is not only hailed for it's orignal Italian cuisine but also a vast wine list.
