About

Babbo opened in 1998 in Greenwich Village, New York City, quickly becoming one of the city's most acclaimed Italian restaurants. It earned a Michelin Star and was originally helmed by celebrity chef Mario Batali. After Batali's departure, Starr Restaurants took over, appointing Mark Ladner as chef and ushering in a new era for Babbo.
