  • Rating: 4.0 out of 5"by Molly M. at Yelp User Review1/26/2013I was so excited to try Babbo. My friend and I went on a Monday night expecting to wait for seating at the bar. We lucked out and got one of the little tables up front without any wait. It was a tight squeeze getting into the booth side. We split the grilled octopus as an appetizer.
