Call in order for their $8.99 Spaghetti & Meatballs, super easy. Available on Monday's & Tuesdays. Order was ready when we got there . We took our order to the park. Perfect weather . The size is generous and the meatballs are big and juicy. Real meat! It comes with soft focaccia bread, vinegar and olive oil to dip. So good!!! Highly recommend we have ordered from different location and also ate inside. Always to notch service. Real quality food. Really you can get a second meal out of the serving size. We have always had delicious Italian food from Babbo's! read more

So I ordered the Sweet And Spicy "The OG" for takeout. Seriously it was disgusting the presentation. I have ordered before so I was really surprised this is what I received. Attached a photo. The cost was definitely not worth it. Very disappointed read more

Babbo Italian Eatery - Sweet And Spicy "The OG" Absolutely disgusting. - Italian Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

We've visited this spot twice--once for lunch and once for dinner--and found the lunch deals to be the better value. Their $15 salad and pizza combo is a great option for midday dining. For dinner, we were lucky to catch a half-priced bottle of wine night, which made the evening feel like an excellent deal. The standout dish for us is the crab and artichoke dip, which has a queso-like quality that's absolutely delicious. The pizza is fairly average, but the chopped salad is another highlight we'd recommend. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual meal, especially if you time your visit with one of their specials. read more

Babbo Italian Eatery has potential. I've visited this location a handful of times. I wanted to love it, but it was just okay. The facility is nice and has a small amount of Italian touches. If you order ahead, you can expect the order to take 30 minutes (during dinner) and it'll be on time. When picking up, don't leave without checking that you have everything. My order was missing a fork. Have you ever tried eating spaghetti without utensils? Not fun. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs, which is their Monday night special. The pasta was fine, but the marinara sauce doesn't hit the mark for me. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just alright and, IMHO, the sauce makes or breaks the dish. The meatballs seemed like the grocery store frozen food variety. It also came with a side of focaccia bread (with oil and balsamic vinegar). I suppose for the Monday night special price of $6.99 (plus tax and tip) it'll do in a pinch. If paying full price, I'd have to think twice. read more

Mediocre at best. Staff were nice but food left something to be desired. Not a very welcoming atmosphere. I was surprised it was pretty empty over the holiday season but figured out why. read more

Good food for the price and friendly server. Quick and simple. The only negative I can say is it didn't feel like the cleanest place and there was some small flies. We got the lasagna and pesto pasta. I will add they had a really good happy hour deal that would be worth come in for read more

So I picked up the family lasagna special on Christmas Eve. I noted the instructions were Nonni's Italian eatery but bake at home -Amy's Lasagna. Once I took off the top the lasagna was not made in this pan. There was an inch to two inches around each side. I feel like I must have bought Amy's which everyone can purchase in any grocery store in the freezer,when I thought I was buying a homemade product and then the price was jacked up. Very disappointed in this restaurant. read more

Babbo Italian Eatery - Here are the directions - Italian Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

We came here after a long day at Great Wolf Lodge on a Thursday night. We were sat at a booth. It's a nice restaurant -- the interior is lovely and the service was quick. They bring you complementary bread with olive oil and balsamic for dipping. I ordered the chipotle chicken, my boyfriend ordered the chicken Alfredo and my daughter had the bolognese. The Alfredo was devoured almost immediately. I enjoyed my dish - it was creamy and the heat from the spice developed over time. Excellent portions as well! I had plenty of leftovers. My daughter's bolognese was exceptional -- the sauce was delicious! I would have tried the lasagna but it takes 30 minutes in the oven. Overall pleasant experience. We will be back. read more

While the food choices have gotten better with the return of lunchtime combos, they still have a hidden charge on the bill that irritates the heck out of me. We hadn't stopped in for well over a year due to this. Why not just add 3% to your menu prices? Absolutely ridiculous! read more

Babbo, if you are wondering why all the other restaurant parking lots are full and yours is not. Here is why: 1. First impression when you walk in the place. The lights were cranked up to as bright as they could be like they're trying to clean the place. 7 o'clock dinner time you'd think you have a little bit better of a mood in here. No one wants the sunlight blasting on them while they're eating. Lighting 101. 2. Almost no music at all, seriously no vibe! can barely hear any sound at all. There's literally no reason to have speakers in here at that point. Again lighting and sound. Pivotal to restaurants. 3. You can tell you're understaffed because you have people running around like they're stuck in the weeds all the time. The place is not even that busy. 4. Is the bartender the manager? Haven't seen a manager on the floor once and we've been here for two hours. 5.cherry on top. Order came out wrong so they had to remake the right one the second time. Beer tasted old as hell. Had to switch to old fashioned. 6. Food was 5 out of 10 Good part. 1. The server was nice and polite. 2. The old-fashioned was good. Unfortunately no large cube. Not surprised from this place. Too many other places you can go to spend your hard earned money. read more

We got the food delivered. I love the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar olive oil dipping with the bread. I could not stop enjoying them but I need room for my pasta. The pasta is tasty and the sausage is great. We will plan to dine in next time and enjoy more variety of food they offer. read more

Great food and great service one of the best italian restaurants I have been to. It had a great view.

Perfect place to get food for you kids!! They have good service. Take out is taste fresh. Not that expensive. read more

This place was just meh. Nothing spectacular, probably can live without it. All in all , just subpar.

Cheese wheel pasta? Say no more; I'm there. I haven't been to a Babbo location in about three years but when I heard this location was serving pasta tossed in a parmesan wheel, I had to try it. We started off with the burrata appetizer which was delicious! I had the asparagus and mushroom risotto tossed in the Par wheel for my entree. Service was a bit inconsistent throughout the meal, but the manager was stepping in to help wherever she was needed. read more

We love Babbo's and come all the time as long-term customers! The staff is always so friendly, and the food comes out super quick. I love all their pastas, everything is delicious. The mac and cheese especially is one of my favorites! read more

Babbo Italian Eatery - Kids Mac & Cheese - Italian Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

First, I'll start by saying I think Italian food is always overpriced. I mean, pasta is CHEAP and it's not like this is authentic and handmade. It's dry pasta like everyone makes at home. So when pasta dishes are $15-$20 a pop, I know they have to keep the lights on, but like, that's expensive. My pasta primavera was good. I would eat it again. Not earth shattering, but sufficiently good. The calzone was impressive and tall. The kid meals were good portions. The free bread and oil was decent. I don't have any specific complaints other than cost and nothing totally blowing me out of the water taste wise. Fair though, it's overpriced Italian and still good, but yeah. Just not begging to go back, but this judgement stands for most Italian restaurants. Service was good. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while. It's nothing fancy and more of a family restaurant. Was concerned it was closed due to the lack of cars in the parking lot. Being a single female I sat at the bar and really rate a restaurant on how they treat a single women at the bar. The guy behind the bar greeted me promptly and asked why I would like to drink. Another lady brought out bread and asked what I wanted to order. The braised short rib ravioli was good. Servers were attentive and asking if I needed anything else. Was pleased with my experience. read more

My first experience was not good. I really wanted to like the restarant. Party of five. We ordered a pasta dish and two pizza's. The restaurant was not busy. The server brought out a cold pizza to try and tide us over until the our pizza's were ready. It took forever for the pizza and one of the pizza's was not fully cooked. They did remove the pizza that was not fully cooked from the bill. The server never checked back after the food was delivered to see how things were. I had to point out to her when we were ready to leave how bad the pizza was. Never saw a manger. read more

My son and I popped in for an early dinner around 3:30/4pm. The place was empty and we ordered two things. The "Scratch-made crispy chicken" appetizer and a kids cheese pizza with fruit. Check out the photos. A very poor attempt and wilted fruit. The service took forever and we maybe saw our server every 10-15 min. A poor experience all around. read more

The only reason I even give this place two stars is because the food is okay. I have been to this place multiple times, mostly when it has not been busy and the service is horrendous. There were less than 10 people in the restaurant today and I had to go find someone to ask for another drink or my tab. Ridiculous. read more

I hate writing these, but I'd like to save people time/money. I called in 30 minutes early and arrived on time for a pickup order with my girlfriend and dog waited in the car. I only ordered 3 items, Salmon salad, a cheese pizza and a calzone. When I arrived on time the Pizza and Calzone were sitting on the countertop and not on a warm surface. Like Joe's Pizza or Yo Pauly's who put it on top of the oven to stay warm. The manager proceeded to tell me they never cooked the Salmon salad and would need 15 minutes. I found it funny since it was on the bill. When I got home all was cold and the Calzone was not even cooked like a big pile of dough. The pizza looked like a 3rd grade class had make your own pizza day. (Totino's) Lastly, the Salmon salad was salty with too much pepper and looked like they threw a chuck of salmon on a bed of greens with one onion in the salad and nothing else. 1000% percent terrible experience and I will never go back. Next time I will continue down the freeway the extra couple mile for a true NY Pizza and Calzone done correctly at Yo Pauly's. read more

It's a nice place. The food needs so help. The flavors just aren't there. I would not say at all that it's authentic. In my opinion the tortellini comes in frozen and not made in house and it shows. read more

Very simple and easy pickup process for to-go orders! Ordered online and it was already ready when I went to back it up... no waiting. I got GF pasta and I love that they don't charge extra for it. It was fairly good, I would try something else whenever I go back that is not as heavy. (I got something similar to fettuccine alfredo but with GF pasta). Affordable, easy process, will be back to explore more options on the menu! read more

We love Babbo food and the staff there is so friendly and accommodating! We recommend it to all our visiting friends!

Every single time I have been here there has been an issue. The staff doesn't check on us, they've messed up our food, but the worst was that they were always out of at least a couple things from the menu (usually happy hour items during happy hour). I wouldn't recommend. read more

I have been checking out curbside service at various restaurants during COVID-19. Babbo does a superb job at keeping everything organized and flowing in the parking lot when you drive up to pick up your order. I love good deals and decided to order the $6.99 spaghetti special for the first time, which they have right now on Monday and Tuesday nights. I called in the order and drove over to pick it up. They had cones set up in the parking lot and a one-way traffic system for picking up your order. The Babbo employee walks up to your car, gets your name, and then goes back in to ring up your order. They bring the order to your vehicle with your credit card receipt. You sign the receipt and you're good to go. I like the organization of their curbside pick-up and have been back a few times since for the spaghetti special. The $6.99 spaghetti is a large portion with marinara sauce and two large meatballs. I always give the meatballs to my boyfriend, who is a true carnivore. They also provide an order of their wonderful herb bread with dipping sauce. Yummy! read more

Ordered take out which was super easy. Got to restaurant and was immediately greeted. Order was ready, paid and left. Got home didn't realize some type of oil had spilled in the bag. Took way overfilled container, thinking they ran out of the correct size and then tried to fit an entree sized meal into a leftover container, to my dining room table and noticed it was leaking oil everywhere. Ok now time to mop up oil. Oil on floor cleaned. Went to sit down and oil all over my chair. Sigh time to clean chair and yup you guessed it, chair now has a permanent stain. Come on if you run out of the correct size container either (a) borrow from a sister store, (b) go to Smart & Final and buy correct size or (c) split into two containers. Food - 4 stars Service - 4 stars Packaging - 0 stars. Be better with packaging. Love you guys but this has not been a good experience when you all typically knock it out of the park. read more

We've been to other Babbos' in Phoenix and found this one to be me'h. I don't know if their problems are in the back of the house, or front, or both; but the food takes forever here. The couple next to us just gave up and left, after waiting fifteen minutes for someone to take their drink and appetizer order. In some ways, we should have too. I could list six or eight short comings, but I'll leave you with this one gem from the menu: a Bowl O'Bolognese made from marinara sauce. Huh? And get this, our tab came to $60 before gratuities read more

After fan fest today we stopped here to eat. The restaurant has a very contemporary and appealing look. It really is a beautiful restaurant. I was happy to see that they have gluten free pasta and cauliflower crust pizza but it's cooked in the same oven as the gluten pizza so it's a no go for celiac. I ordered the creamy pesto with the GF noodles. My husband had the Parmesan Chicken Pasta. He said it was a nice alternative to Chicken Parm and he appreciated the texture the crispy chicken added. He did say that he doesn't prefer it over traditional chicken parm. I thought my dish was pretty good. I prefer traditional pesto because it is just so good but the creamy pesto was pretty good. My only complaint was that the gluten free pasta was a little over cooked. There was no GF bread and it would been really nice to have to dip in my creamy pesto sauce. They have Parmesan cheese on the table but they didn't bring our fresh parm. You can't beat fresh Parmesan on pasta. My coffee was empty most time that we were there but at least I also had a water to drink. The bill wasn't too bad, they have really reasonable prices. read more
