1 day agoVideo: Restaurant Review: Babbo
Under Stephen Starr and chef Mark Ladner, Babbo updates classic Italian dishes with lighter, focused preparations while some portions and desserts remain uneven.
The place is due for a comeback, said Sam Hernandez, the new co-owner of Bravo who bought the restaurant with his best friend Jason Yu in December 2025. The duo are well aware that Bravo is flooded with " break-up posts " reviews on Yelp from disappointed erstwhile diners over the past year, and they are ready to turn things around.
