Babbo Italian Kitchen

"My mother and I stopped by a few days before Christmas. We had made reservations and were seated very promptly. There was a cocktail menu with seasonal drinks. I had the espresso martini and my mom had the lemondrop. Both were very good and very well priced. I then ordered the lobster ravioli which was excellent and my mom got the carbonara. Hers was fantastic as well. We will be back!"

"It has great atmosphere. Our server Izya was really sweet, pretty, and had good energy. Also the staff as well everything was perfect! This is during the Christmas season so I got the drink “Dirty Chai” definitely a must try."

"We made reservations for our table on a Friday night. We were seated relatively quickly. The service was good. We ordered lobster ravioli and chicken picatta. Both dishes were really good. The lobster ravioli was in a creamy tomato sauce that was excellent. House bread with olive oil was soft and delicious. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and food. I would eat here again and I would recommend it to friends."

"The restaurant is beautiful. Very comfortable atmosphere. Our waitstaff were fantastic. They knew their job and did it well. The food was just fabulous. Something I would expect from Asheville. Focaccia - perfect doesn't even begin to describe it. Light, airy, and so full of flavor. The Seafood Pescatore was sublime. Lobster Ravioli was quite flavorful. The Crab Stuffed Mushrooms were perfect. Can't wait to go back and try more items off the menu. Forest City is lucky to have such a new restaurant added to downtown."

"We had a wonderful experience this evening! Our waitress Melissa was very polite, sweet, and took time to answer all our questions! She kept our sweet tea full! The food was so delicious and being someone who cooks most meals from scratch, my husband and I are typically disappointed when we go out to dinner, but not this time! We will definitely be returning customers! We also had to other people check on us (possibly the owners?) which we really appreciated."
