About Babbo

Babbo brings polished Italian dining to St John's Wood High Street, where families gather for handmade pasta and wood-fired pizzas on the leafy outdoor terrace. The arancini al tartufo nero and Babbo meatballs draw regulars back repeatedly, while mains like the lobster tagliolini and truffle pasta earn consistent praise from both locals and visitors. Tables accommodate wheelchairs and buggies easily, and reviewers note that staff members including Patrick, Diego, and Aisha welcome multi-generational groups with warmth — one reviewer noted "tables were moved to facilitate my father's wheelchair" without hesitation. Portions are generous (the bread basket alone challenges two diners), and the signature upside-down ice cream dessert and tiramisu finish meals on a high note. Heaters and blankets make al fresco dining comfortable year-round. Best for celebrations or unhurried weekend lunches when you want cooking that feels transported from Northern Italy.
