    Lemon Garlic Spaghettini -
    Matthew M.

    Modern, warm and welcoming ambiance with plenty of seating and a few private areas, it only lacks outdoor dining. The service if friendly a welcoming. The menu has a good selection of appetizers, salads, pizza, sandwiches and pastas. Everything was so good and full of flavor, garlic bread was soft and tasty. The spaghetti and meatballs was so good and had plenty of sauce. The lasagna was amazing and a big enough portion for two meals. The dessert was also tasty. Only down size is it took a while to get the food but that really didn't matter because everything was worth the wait and the wait staff made sure we always had a clean table and full drinks.

    Mini Wedge with Grilled Chicken
    Michelle C.

    We had a great experience overall. Our party of 11 was seated right away around 7:30 on a Friday night, which was a pleasant surprise. The food was very good -- the gnocchi was excellent, and the wedge salad was packed with flavor. Service was solid; our server was especially attentive once the food arrived. The crispy chicken parm sandwich was just okay -- a bit too much bread compared to the chicken, and it could have used more seasoning. It was a tad bit over cooked, but lacking that extra punch of flavor. The interior of the restaurant is nicely done, but it felt like something was missing -- maybe some music or ambient lighting to set the mood. As it stands, it had more of a diner feel than a high-end restaurant atmosphere. Overall it was very good and we would recommend.

    Service was excellent! She was awesome and always checked in. The place was clean, huge, and nice. But the food was just meh, Chicken Limone (Roasted Chicken Breast, Artichokes, Capers, Fresh Lemon Butter Sauce, Garlic. Served on Fusilli).

    I thought Babbo was great! I had no idea that they were located so close in Goodyear. They are just past the Harkins theater on McDowell all by themselves. It was Valentines Day and we were in the mood for Italian food. Because I didn't reserve in advance, I called to ask about a reservation. I was told that reservations were only taken for large parties. Good for us. They said that there was no wait, so we headed out! The place smelled delicious when we entered and was elegantly decorated. There were about four other couple ahead of us, so we were told that there would be a 40 minute wait. We decided to wait at the bar. The bar was so nice and the bartender all over the service, that we decided to dine there. We were immediately served really good best gooey bread with olive oil and balsamic. I thought that was a really excellent start. Only 10 minutes later the hostess asked if we still wanted our table, but were happy, so stayed put. I was boring, and decided a wanted classic spaghetti and meatballs. My wife had roasted shrimp and vegetables. The spaghetti was some of the best that I've had at at a restaurant and my wife was impressed wither her shrimp as well. We thought the whole experience was great. Great atmosphere, great service & great food! I was thrilled to have a new restaurant in the area look forward to my next visit to Babbo!

    Gnocchi Trio Creamy Pesto Sauce, Alfredo Sauce, Vodka Sauce. Delicious!

    We had a great dinner at Babbo's Italian Eatery in Goodyear! We ordered the Valducci, the eggplant parmigiana, and a kids' mini calzone -- everything was delicious. The Valducci was packed with flavor, the eggplant parm was perfectly cooked, and even the kids' calzone was a hit. The food came out surprisingly fast, which was a nice bonus -- especially with a hungry kids. The ambience was really nice -- casual but warm and welcoming. Service was okay -- not bad, just nothing that stood out. Overall, a solid local spot for Italian food. We'll definitely be back to try more off the menu!

    Pesto Pasta
    Carissa R.

    My husband and I went to Babbo on my birthday for an early dinner on a Friday around 4:30 pm. We had originally made reservations for 5:30 on open table, but our matinee ended earlier than expected. When we arrived we were seated right away and offered a booth which was nice. The lighting was nice and our waitress was excellent. I ordered one of her recommended dishes and wish I would have tried both of her recommendations. I will next time. We were able to order a bottle of wine and get appetizers from the happy hour menu. We did the seafood artichoke dip, firecracker egg rolls with steak, pesto pasta, and the sunset tortellini which were all delish. The sunset tortellini was the star of the night and was recommended by our waitress. We would visit again. Highly recommended. 5/5

    Small portions for the dollar amount
    Christina M.

    Wow, first time ordering from this place and super disappointed. We order two of the Alfredo and added chicken, $27 for what we received is embarrassing. It didn't have any flavor as well. You're better off going to Oreganos.

    Oil/vinegar
    Christy W.

    It was pretty good- not the best, not the worse, food for a casual Italian restaurant. Not super fancy, but not mall cuisine. Happy hour menu has some good specials. The wine selection was alright- basic whites and reds. Full bar. Service was pretty good- the team worked hard and were friendly. They seemed under staffed - everyone was waiting, bussing, and serving, but they kept up with everything. The bread and oil/vinegar was delicious. I had the Brussel Sprouts and Pancetta pasta- pretty good. My friend had the short rib ravioli- I had a bit of order envy- I liked hers more than mine. We have a picky eater and they nailed the penne and butter. The others were basic pasta dishes. It really was good- pretty crowded and lively- but not too loud. Friendly and efficient service. Sorry- forgot to take photos before we started eating!!!! The portion sizes were great!

    Absolutely the best pizza I've had in Phoenix !!…read more I ordered the Wings and the Pepperoni & Sausage, and both were outstanding. the crust is perfectly thin and crispy with just the right amount of chew - exactly how I like it. the sauce is fresh, garlicky, and not too sweet, and the cheese is gooey and flavorful without being greasy. The toppings were generous and high quality. You can really taste that everything is fresh. Even the side of garlic bread was warm, soft inside, and crispy on the edges - addictive !! Service was super friendly and fast. My order was ready right on time for pickup, and the staff even threw in a couple of extra dipping sauces with a smile. The place has easily become my new go-to-pizza spot in the valley. If you're looking for authentic, delicious pizza that doesn't break the bank, stop by here immediately. You won't be disappointed !! High recommend - I'll definitely be back soon (probably this weekend)

They said they made the spaghetti and gave it to us. We brought what they gave to us which was just the wings and pizza back inside so they could see. They made a call to their delivery driver, turns out he took it by mistake. We had to wait for him to bring it back. The attitude, accusing of lying and having to wait for the driver to bring our food back is wild. The cherry on top, the food wasn't even good.

    Small hole in the wall bar attached to a pretty old Best Western. We stopped by after checking out…read moresome reviews and came in to see what games they might be playing on the tv. It was fairly busy, but we were able to find a few seats at the bar. Our bartender was pretty quick getting us menus and drink orders. We'd eaten a bit earlier so we passed on food. The menu does look pretty good with wings, pizza and appetizers. I was a bit bummed because they don't offer any sour beers or even ciders. The closest I could get was a seltzer. No white claw or anything, but a few flavors of Nutrl I believe it's called. They had of course hard alcohol and regular beers on tap. The location was clean, but could use a little upkeep. Service was friendly our entire time there and we chatted a bit about the bars history. It's been there a few years, changed names in the last couple years, and is separate from the motel though they do rent the space from them. Nothing too fancy but if you're looking for a little hole in the wall to watch a game or have a drink you may enjoy this spot. The lot is old and could use a clean up. It wasn't for me as they don't offer much I like to drink, but still a great option for someone to have a draft/drink.
