Came in last night for a late night take out order was greeted by a girl up front who directed me to the counter. A manager came up and greeted me and asked me how my day was while they bagged up my food when I got home I was very pleased to find that they included bread and oil with their take out orders because it's the best. I have had great experiences dining in before and glad to see the same goes for their take out! Will be back again! read more

Stopped in at lunch time yesterday on a whim as we were hungry and needed to kill some time. I found the restaurant to be busy with the working lunch crowd and a few families also in place. Unfortunately, I found our service to be ill-paced considering we each ordered a salad which came after others around us, whom ordered after we did. Salads arrived and were adequate, again however our Server seemed to be overwhelmed by her surroundings and didn't pay adequate attention to us. That said, I would come back once again and see how dinner goes, but unless you're part of the working lunch crowd, I would consider staying away during that time. read more

We Often Frequent the Surprise location, and have been to this location a few times before meeting friends and family for dinner. Up to this point service has been consistent. So when some friends that just got back into town asked us to meet them for dinner here we didn't think we were in for any surprises. As usual our server was prompt and attentive, unfortunately when the food came I can't say the same. Two out of the Four of our party had ordered calzones, we got our food and started eating. The other calzone had the wrong ingredients and had to be remade, but by the time the remake made it out to us it was cold. Mine was missing an ingredient and also contained uncooked mushrooms, which if you eat mushrooms you understand the world of difference in texture and flavor from cooked to uncooked. In the end our server and the manager apologized multiple times for the food and explained they have a new chef. She also comped one of the calzones and comped a dessert too which will make me come back. I like Babbo and know what they can do, I just might stick to the surprise location for a short time after this. Kudos to the manager and our server for at least being consistent. read more

A group of my friends went here to celebrate two birthdays, one of which was mine. The service was very good. The food was really good. And to top off the amazing meal we had our choice of birthday desserts...seriously? Very generous and delicious. read more

Nice place for fresh Italian. I like the variety of personal pizza. Most of the time I go and eat at the bar and order a glass of wine and the pizza. They bring you fresh hot bread with oil to dip. My favorite is the pear and gorgonzola cheese. read more

I still go to Babbo on a regular basis for the FOOD only. This is the only reason I go. The service is consistently awful. I've only had one good server here (Lori) in all the years I have been coming here. They are slow, and I mean slow. A couple of months ago went for lunch with my husband and parents. We waited 50 minutes just for beer and salads. The lunch took over two hours. Today I went again with my husband and it took us 35 minutes for a salad and water/tea. They always use the same excuse. "She's backed up on the salads." Another excuse we have heard "we had a big party today." The main manager knows we are regulars but never says "hi." It's a good thing the food is good. Just don't go if you are in a hurry. read more

Close to my house. Great food service and prices!

Great Italian food!! Eaten here on a few different occasions, looooove the Italian sausage pasta! Plenty of meat and flavor in that one! Food is always hot, and always served with great service. Great place for a date with that special someone, business, or just casual. I've even done take out! (Call ahead and order anything off the menu! It's great!) read more

First of all....the bread is amazing. I could go there for bread and alfredo sauce and sit there for 3 hours... I ordered the Spicy Alfredo with Italian Sausage. They aren't kidding, its spicy. Good flavor but the sauce was a bit thin. Wife ordered the Three Cheese Mac and Cheese. Good flavor but spicier then my wife was expecting.....so I had to eat the left overs.....darn it... Very good mac n cheese. Service was great, the waiter got a christmas dollar(extra dollar over 20%) that i usually save for December...XD I will be back.... read more

Normally, we have always had good service and food at Babbo's. However tonight we experienced something entirely different. We were seated outside for dinner and were waiting for another couple to join us. One of the waiters was trying to light or adjust the outside heater when a huge flame went out. I felt a burst of heat and suddenly smelled as my hair was singed. Several customers asked if I was ok, I was scared as it all happened very quickly. Someone from the restaurant came over and I told him my hair was singed. He said sorry and said they would have to fill out something re: incident. It was about 15 mins before the manager came over. I told her my hair was singed as well. She said they would comp our meal but we would have to pay for drinks and tip your sever. We did not have a big bill, I thought the whole ordeal was not handled without any sensitivity or concern for me as a customer. No one ever came to document anything that had happened. I will be going to get a hair cut tomorrow and am thankful it was not a lot worse. It really is a shame how management's nonchalant attitude and lack of concern has changed my mind about this restaurant. read more

Came here as a fluke looking for a new italian place. WOW I sure glad we did. Wonderful service and even better food. One had garlic chicken pasta and the other a sicilian pizza... WONDERFUL!!! We will be back, perhaps tomarrow!! read more

I was impressed with the Amazing food! I think some might think price is to high but when you want above average food this is it!

Recently remodeled, same menu. Same good food with even better atmosphere, decor, lighting and more space in the restaurant.

Great place for the prices. Love their "Bowl of Bolognese". When you are seated they bring out olive oil with balsamic vinegar on a plate with some small slices of bread that appears to be made of the same dough they use for the pizza crust. We split a Mista salad which is perfect for the 2 of us. The place is both attractive and plain at the same time. Nice decorating accents make the place look inviting right when you get in the door. Other parts of the dining room are rather plain however with plain tables and chairs. The place always looks clean however. I'd definitely return and recommend to others. read more

Have family from out of state so we took them to Babbo's for our favorite Itailano! We had to wait for awhile but it's was so worth it . The manger Kim was awsome! Hope to bring more family there! read more

I've yet to eat IN the restaurant, only have had take out. I tried, the order on line special, and placed a time when I would pick it up. It was ready more than a half hour before I picked it up, unfortunately everything was cold. I wrote the mgmt., who took care of the issue in a prompt, courteous manner. I was very impressed with how they handled everything. I plan on going back again, and again, and again. The food is awesome, the salads wonderful! Thank you Babbo's!! They are very service oriented! read more

Yum! We really enjoyed our meal here and may have found our new go to for pasta. The Brussel sprout and Pancetta pasta is fun and different. Love the focaccia and service was excellent. Nice, large menu selection which means we'll be back to try more! read more

The food here is absolutely spectacular. The meatball special on Monday and Tuesdays is amazing. The marinara sauce is one that I will order every time. I think it is the spice that kicks it up a notch. The calzone is crusty and puffs up. read more

Eat here frequently both in-house and take out. The food is consistently excellent. Service and ambience is always great. Their chalk board menu is our favorite. read more

Just got my gift card purchase-for the $50 you spend they give you $25 extra! The food has been exceptional from my perspective and is reasonably priced. I'm trying to lose weight so I can order the Mista salad with chicken with their house dressing that is really an oil and vinegar based dressing with great flavor and feel really good after dinner. If you have the T Rex appetite or someone in the family eats (or you have decided to treat yourself) and tomorrow is just another day then you have interesting pasta dishes like the creamy garlic chicken, the Parmesan chicken Pasta and many interesting traditional and slightly off from traditional Italian dishes. They have discounted Spaghetti and meatballs on Monday and Tuesday and the portions are generous and great tasting. Kim is the manager often when we are at the Arrowhead location and can help you with a wine selection as she has done for my wife and I. Drew is a great food server and can help you with selecting something from their extensive menu. read more

I am visiting Phoenix and decided to order online from Babbos on 3/30/17. I was completely disappointed as the food was not ready for at least 20 minutes past the pick up time. I found the pasta to be dried and overlooked. Would not recommend take out at all! read more

Awful service. If you want to be treated like crap go and ask for the manager Macy. Will never go there again she was so awful

Food was really good. Trully italian flavors. Place is clean ans modern. Good ambiance. Service that day was slooooooow. We waited over 30 min for an order of pasta. read more

Great food and service. We went for the spaghetti and meatball special on Monday night. I would recommend it!

We went to Babbo's in surprise and was a very disappointing trip. I got there at 5 and put our name down for a party of 5. I waited patient. When the rest of my party joined me. I was still at the same spot as when I put my name down. They had stopped seating people and there were 18 tables vacant. I asked the manager and he promised we would be seated by 6. That never happened. I was speaking to an employee and he said it has been this for a month and management can't get it together. They have lost my business. read more

We've eaten here many times and the food is always good. It's always busy which shows me the food is good. Spaghetti and meatballs is a favorite along with their pizzas. They have a great Happy Hour menu so check it out!! read more

Seriously need new wait staff and front of house management. Long wait times, disorganized, managers loitering around not helping to clear guests. The order taker even said ...oh. I am sorry sir...the closest thing we have to lasagne is the spaghetti with meat sauce??? What? Where do they train these people. Very sad.....the place has good food but. Needs to retrain or get rid of the current staff.. ... read more

Strip mall Italian restaurant with above average food. Great value for the price. My children love their spaghetti and meatballs. Have been visiting for quite some time and never have had a bad experience. Only problem is that they have outgrown their restaurant. Usually a wait in the evenings. Other than that, food is great, service is good . read more

Great local restaurant that you can have a casual dinner or celebrate a special occasion. It is great they also hire local kids to work there. We are lucky to have such a nice neighborhood restaurant. read more

Good pricing. Good service. Good food. This is a great little neighborhood restaurant and we will definitely be back. The spicy Alfredo with sausage pasta was VERY good. Just the right amount of spice. read more

This place is delish!! Me and my hubby went there a little while ago for dinner we had received a gift card to go, I had been before but that would have been 6 years or so ago and the food than was so so. We went this time and it was great!! I got the manicotti with mushrooms and it was mouthwatering and I had some to take home. The bill wasn't bad either! About 35 for 2 dishes and 2 drinks. We will make sure to come back here soon! read more

Awesome bread and meatball sandwich. Tiramisu is more like bread pudding, weird consistency. Excellent service.

Good local Italian, tons of different pasta dishes & they are usually good at special request orders too (like aiding or omitting ingredients & substituting whole wheat pasta) . Salads are good too. read more

Great food and service. Awesome apps with massive entrees. Father's Day dinner and was crowded but service was on it!

Food was wonderful! They don't take reservations, but accept "call aheads". They have a great outdoor seating area (when the weather is cooler). read more

Not bad but the sauce is WAY too salty. I first tried the lasagna and then came back today for the manicotti. Too bad. It looks like they use great ingredients. I wish they'd just learn how to make sauce. read more

Food was just okay. I think carrabas and buca di beppo serve better italian food. It also seems pretty cramped in there. Will not come back! read more

We tried Babbo for the first time; joining two others for a very pleasant dinner. It was very busy but our anticipated wait was shorter than told. We had a quiet corner booth where we were served efficiently and expertly by Jimmy. His wine recommendation was on target for value of taste and price. Our four varied meals were hot and exactly as we ordered, delicious, and with no surprises. Our only regret is that we didn't find this eatery sooner. We will be back. Sincerely, Karen & Art (Karts) Huseonica, Sun City read more

Another great meal at Babbos! If you're looking for yummy Italian food and AMAZING bread, this is your place. Be sure to ask for Marshall because he'll make sure you have everything you need! read more

My wife, grandson, and I came to eat here today at about 230 and were promptly greeted at the door by a gentleman who I presume was the MOD. He asked how many, we said three and we'd like to eat outside. He said no problem and seated us. Once outside we waited, and waited, and waited. After 5-10 minutes we asked an employee, she was outside with another employee (getting a catering order ready?) if she could get our server, she said yes and went inside to, I assume alert the MOD. After a few moments a server came out, no greeting, no eye contact, and walked past our table to the table directly behind us. Sigh....not our server. After a short time our server came out took our drink order, and everything seemed to be back on track. If it was only that easy. Once she took our order she was gone....okay enough tea, time to use the restroom. What do I see? our food is in the window, our server is yucking it up with the MOD and I am irritated. We love this place! We always get great service!! What's going on here!?!? Guessing just a bad day, I get it, I work in this field, but come on it's slow do your guests right. Hot food hot!! Alfredo should not be clumpy. read more
