▶James Andrews' Babbo review
James heads to Greenwich Village for the new-look Babbo, now run by Starr Restaurants with Mark Ladner in the kitchen. He kicks things off with a Tomato Martini and some bread with mascarpone, then calls the Babbo Celery Salad a delight. The Beef Cheek Ravioli at $45 for five pieces is his favorite bite of the night, though he wishes it were cheaper and a little bigger. The Grilled Branzino gets called a textbook branzino, super crispy skin and soft flesh. Then dessert steals the show: the Blueberry Budino is a 10 out of 10, and two more sweets show up on the house. Best part? Stephen Starr comps the whole meal, so the bill reads one cent and James drops a $100 tip.
- The Tomato Martini wins him over after some bad martini luck at other spots.
- Beef Cheek Ravioli, $45 for five pieces, is his favorite dish of the whole night.
- Blueberry Budino is a clean 10 out of 10, and he says do not skip dessert here.
- The Grilled Branzino is a textbook plate: crispy skin, soft flesh, no complaints.
- Bill shock: one cent thanks to Stephen Starr, so he leaves a $100 tip.
