...I have passed by Babbo many times.<br />That's it.<br />I've eaten in Otto and was disappointed.<br />I know Mario (sort of) drew his picture bla bla and ate his food free at the Beard House a number of times but...<br />It's tough going to these places and having yr expectations met. Especially when they've been around a while. The gloss is off the pumpkin "ravioli" maybe..?<br />I did get Mario a glass of champagne the other nite at the Beard Awards -did I have a choice?<br />He's bossy :)Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187123620236078676.post-64403131785376369542010-04-29T08:38:56.281-07:002010-04-29T08:38:56.281-07:00Nancy, we split a couple of appetizers: a beet som...Nancy, we split a couple of appetizers: a beet something and grilled octopus. I had the pumpkin (or sweet potato) ravioli (as mentioned in the post) and we had broccoli rabe which was nothing special. My friend had quail. It was all good, but until the dessert, nothing really blew me away for all the to-do about the place.Adairhttp://lentilbreakdown.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187123620236078676.post-22160410421763547082010-04-29T08:12:01.148-07:002010-04-29T08:12:01.148-07:00Happy belated Birthday!

The dessert looks really good; what else did you try?<br /><br />As for Mario places I've tried Esca (seafood), which I loved, and Otto (pizza), which I think has slid downhill in quality over the years. I saw him riding down 2nd Ave on his scooter last summer (wearing the orange crocs, of course!). Such a character.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00556738105574922618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187123620236078676.post-68922147667626504032010-04-29T06:45:19.220-07:002010-04-29T06:45:19.220-07:00Hi Alison!

I've been to Batali's Pizzeria Mozza in L.A. and that has a much more casual vibe and I think I liked it better. Would I go back to Babbo? No. I thought it a little overhyped as many reviewers said.Adairhttp://lentilbreakdown.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187123620236078676.post-76638661219762379372010-04-29T01:57:41.144-07:002010-04-29T01:57:41.144-07:00So how was it?
