Babbo has never failed on great food, price and brilliant chef and staff. We had a lovely evening on a week night. Highly recommend the Lamb which my husband adored and Linguine Gamberoni is the best I ever had. Thanks guys for a great evening in your classy restaurant. Thanks chef 😋

The waiters were amazing especially the one from Chile and Calabria. For the food , garlic pizza is always amazing but I had the pasta courgette prawns and I didn't like it, zero courgettes and too much passata, was like eating passata pasta. Sorry I'm Italian so I need to complain 😂The pistacchio dessert was nice, music too loud as my little son is autistic was a bit too much for him I admit, but generally very friendly for this I give 4 stars.

First time visit to Babbo after a lot of recommendations from friends. It certainly lived up to the recommendations. Various offers on. We had just missed out on the 2 course set menu. But we were happy with the fizzy Friday (Prosecco) bottle at £12.50. Our waiter tonight was Niall who couldn’t do enough for us - extremely helpful and polite. Food was fantastic. Well worth a visit. We will be back.

Visited here for the first time tonight even though we only live 10 mins away and we were so impressed! My fiancé prebooked our table in advance, we came with our 6 week old baby and we had no issues at all. All staff were really friendly and welcoming and the food and service was excellent. Paid approx £43 for 1 starter, 2 mains and 1 desert with a few soft drinks. Which in my opinion for a restaurant as nice as this was reasonable. We will definitely return on our next date night.

We visited Babbo because they were having a Dolly Parton tribute act playing and it definitely didn’t disappoint! We were a large group of 18 people and had our own section of the restaurant which was lovely. We pre-ordered our food and despite being a large group and the restaurant being fully booked, it all arrived out in good time and we weren’t kept waiting. The food was delicious, was presented well and served in generous portions by staff who were efficient and friendly. The singer at the event was brilliant! Overall we had a great night and we wouldn’t hesitate to book a table here again.

Brilliant meal and restaurant! My parents came up for Easter weekend and we needed a last minute booking after another restaurant double booked us. Luckily, Babbo Cucina Italiana had room for us, and we ended up having a great meal on a Saturday evening. The place was decorated nicely, staff were friendly and attentive, and the meal was smartly presented / well filling. Will definitely come back and perhaps even try a takeaway pizza. Would recommend!

We’ve had a mixture of starters, pizzas and pastas recently and never had any issues. It’s a shame the place isn’t busier but for us it is a little on the expensive side so we can’t visit as often as we would like now the 50% off has ended.

Good value lunchtime menu. Service was very good. Feb 2003 - Staff were lovely but they need to be trained to act at the right time e.g. when you've just finished a drink or a plate of food, the server is on top of you right away. That's not relaxing for the diner. Hope this helps as the rest of the experience was very good.

So first time here. I ordered the liver pate was really tasty, but not enough bread for the amount of pate and jelly...my son ordered the king prawn starter, was okay but sauce was too salty so he picked prawns out and ate them without the soaked bread and sauce. Now here's the crux. I ordered a carbonara. Which is my favourite and i have ordered 100 times before in various restaurants. This time i was told by the possible owner of the restaurant, that the carbonara has pork. I said yes i know. My son and i are brown. I said i am Sikh. I know Muslims dont eat pork and i can only assume he pointed it out to ME specifically because he thought i dont eat pork. He then went on explaining that oh i like to make sure my customers ate happy and know blah blah blah. I watched people come in after us, order and not have the ingredients clarified for them. I didnt want to make a fuss because my son is only 12 and did not pick up on the clear racism, implying that if we are muslim we cannot eat the dish. Assuming we are muslim because im brown and my son is a haircut sikh. We ate our carbonara which he split into 2 plates as if he was doing us a massive favour (my son and i would just have shared from one bowl, as we had starters and neither of us are big eaters) but ok never mind. I was left with a feeling of unease and after that found it hard to relax. We ate and packed our dessert order, paid and left. I doubt i will go back, which is a shame, because my husband and other 3 children all live very locally and would have liked a good local italian. But as they all look like me and my 12 year old son, i dont want to be given unsolicited advice about what i may or may not be allowed to eat based on my skin colour.

They really should get their act together re opening hours, menus, etc. After checking on T/A (see photo) we went on a Friday at noon, only to find they didn’t open until the evening; I therefore checked opening hours on their actual website and booked today Saturday at 2pm; they were indeed open but - contrary to what is shown on the website (see photo) - the lunch set menu wasn’t available; truly amazing, as this is actually the ONLY menu shown on the website. According to the waiter, management can no longer offer a set menu and he didn’t know why so much conflicting information was shown (he thought there were 3 websites out there!). If I expect a set 2 or 3 course lunch menu (which looked good) it is pretty annoying to have spend more on just one course. To sum up, although my one course was very nice, with the competition in the Prestwich and Whitefield area, - where you do actually know in advance when and what you will be eatiing - this restaurant will not last very long.

The food is all really good. I had risotto which was creamy and moist. The calamari was perfectly cooked and like everything else was served very hot, not always easy with pasta. I'd have given 5stars except it was rather noisy and difficult to hear conversation, also the service was slow, presumably as it was very busy.
