NileGuide Expert Says:
The flagship of Mario Batali's collection of Italian restaurants, Babbo turns out generous portions of delicious, inventive food. Some of the more daring choices include beef-cheek ravioli, pig-foot "Milanese" and a salad of warm lamb's tongue.
Description:
- Celebrity chef Mario Batali and restaurateur Joe Bastianich have come together to create the ultimate Italian dining experience in New York City. A giant stairway dominates the main dining room, set off by pale wood paneling and an abundance of fresh flowers. The Italian fare is often reinvented classics; for example, before Babbo opened you would not normally find beef cheek raviolis on a menu. Bastianich and Batali are also co-owners in the highly successful Italian restaurants Esca and Lupa.

Batali's comments are insensitive and hurtful
-
I can't believe Batali is comparing bankers to Hitler and Stalin. Agree with the previous post that it is completely insensitive. Why can't he just stick to making food? I...

Mario Batali's recent comment comparing bankers to Hitler and Stalin are downright disgusting and irresponsible (reference at bottom of review). While there are many views on bankers...
