    Lunch special - 1/2 salad and 1/2 Pizza OR Pasta
    TY Y.

    Still one of my favorite local Italian restaurants in Chesterfield! Reasonably priced (given all dine-out meals have increased in costs), tasty dishes and menu variety, excellent quality and generous portion sizes. Always get smiling and friendly service, plus the ambience is relaxed, casual and open (acoustics slightly loud). All in all, a solid 4.0+ experience; expect to pay $17-25 for an entree (many are shareable if lighter appetites), plus any apps, salads and drinks. No reservations, first come seating and limited bar to wine and beer. Good for families or date nite out. Importantly, you won't go wrong with anything on their menu! My "go-to's" are the house-made Lasagna (enough for 2), Neapolitan Pizzas, and Caesar salad. Check their daily Specials, and of course Risotto, Tutto Mare, Bolognese, Eggplant Parmigiana (starter) are also delicious! And if you come for lunch, they have a great 1/2 & 1/2 special - so get your choice of Salad and a Pasta dish, Salad and Pizza, etc. For me, Babbo's has been one of the most consistent and excellent dining spots in the Valley with a relaxed vibe. Enjoy!!!

    Shrimp Risotto Del Giorno
    Raymond J.

    Not sure about the name but this place is amazing. Excellent service. Incredible food, fast fresh and delicious. Fresh bread with olive oil. The best bruschetta I've ever had anywhere, stacked with fresh tomatoes bruschetta stuff, really delicious. My risotto steaming hot fresh and excellent flavor. Dinner meeting with friend/customer and the perfect place to have a great meal and all conversation between long time relationships. Love this place

    We were visiting and looking for something nearby. Babbo's had good reviews and we decided to try it. It was not very busy and we got right in. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We were all pleased with our meals. It tasted fresh and full of flavor.

    Went to Babbo's tonight to celebrate my birthday and it was the best experience.The food was so delicious and service was great . We ended the meal with the best Tiramisu we have ever eaten!

    Lunch 1/2 lasagna
    Mel R.

    Great authentic Italian restaurant with delicious food & quality ingredients. The server was friendly & informative with a joyful demeanor that made dining fun. The vibe was kind of Frank Sinatra cool and every time we visit there are business people having lunch meetings and ladies having luncheons. The portions are large & even the lunch 1/2 lasagna & 1/2 salad are enough for 2 meals.

    Veil Milanese
    Jackson D.

    Great food. I got the veil Milanese which was one of the specials when I went it was very tender, the veggies were well prepared and the flavors worked well together. It was a nice open layout with big windows and created an enjoyable atmosphere. Our server was very kind and attentive. The people in general there are fantastic. We had a gift card that was super old and the manager still let us use most of it anyway. They used to have a Columbia location and my family and I were regulars there. I don't know if it's the fact that prices are going up in general or just the switch from Columbia to St Louis but the prices were a little more than I remember, nothing out of reason though.

    I got the Neopolitan funghi pizza after asking the waiter what he recommended between the mushroom pasta or pizza. It came out and I was like, wuuut. I guess it was a St. Louis style pizza but the menu did not say that it was. It was just mushrooms, whole cloves of garlic, and cheese on some cracker thin crust. Would not get again. Would def get the pasta next time if I ever came back. Glad I only got a half order of the pizza. It was $13 before tax and tip.

It was decently busy for a Wednesday night but there was plenty of bar seating. The decor is beautiful and I especially appreciated their carefully curated glass and tableware--all stunning. Our bartender, whose name I fail to remember, was excellent. She had great beer recommendations. We tried the Hefe Weissbier (my favorite, which paired perfectly with both appetizers), the Meteor Pils, and the Gaffel Kolsch. I'd recommend all of them if you're a beer drinker! The spinach dumplings are a must. They are bursting with spinach flavor and swimming in a rich brown butter sauce. We also tried the alpine dip, which comes with an enormous soft pretzel. It was okay, but the dip wasn't exactly what we were expecting. I'd probably pass on the alpine dip next time. Overall an amazing experience and I look forward to enjoying a full meal there next visit. Be advised that they pride themselves on seasonal menus so if you're eyeing a menu item, get yourself there to try it before it's gone!

In fact, our waiter, Todd, was very attentive and even slowed down another server who was going to bring us our salads (a house and a caesar with anchovies) before we had a chance to finish our appetizer (a savory and spicy jambalaya arancini). Good catch on his part. We both had a glass of prosecco to start and then split a bottle of French pinot noir (Domaine de Valmoissine) to go with our entrees (steak tip pasta and steak frites). My wife loved the pasta dish (fresh pappardelle with steak tips, demiglace cream sauce and shiitake mushrooms) and my steak was perfectly prepared medium-rare with crisp and flavorful garlic fries and a side of green beans and shiitake mushrooms.

I showed him the glass and he apologized and said he'd be back after putting in the order. In just a couple minutes he returned with a new glass, new bottle of beer and another apology. I've had similar issues at other facilities but he handled it better, and more professionally than any of them. I did think the manager could have stopped by, not looking for a free drink just to say we're sorry... my date and I both had their version of the choose two section. She had loaded baked potato and said it was great, and she got the chicken breast sandwich which she said was very good. To drink she had a margarita, no salt, and said it was good. I had the wedge salad and it was so large I couldn't even try my sandwich. I did eat it at home and the salmon blt was very good. I recommend this place and while we lucked out hitting a busy place on a Friday night without reservations, my date beat me there and got seated when a table opened up.
