Was very nice but we had experienced other great food that made this restaurant not the best, they let us seat outside though the place was not full inside, and it was a rainy day...cold day. The service was good but it is clear that it is run by fear of the boss and not to service the clients...

Dear contributor to Tripadvisor, Thank you for the title of your review, but I can assure you that although I make my best to offer great food, I am not always able to meet all our guests' diversified tastes. As for the "submissive" attitude of our serving people, I'm pretty sure that they are happy to work with us and... More

We had the lunch buffet for 28 euros (including water, glass of wine, bread, pud and coffee) which was of a mixed quality: half the buffet food was very good/interesting, the other half boring and some just too salty! Lovely ice cream as pud. Nice service and atmosphere. Was good for a quick dine. If I went again I would... More

I reviewed this restaurant as my favorite in Rome when I first visited two years ago. I have been back two more times and Babette has consistently been my favorite meal. The food and service are always spot on. A real standout this time was a charred artichoke with a Parmesan pudding...clever and delicious. My server was very warm and... More

On recommendation of another restaurant which was closed on Sunday we went to Babette, we made a reservation, just as well it was very busy, mostly with locals, which says it all ! A very enjoyable culinary experience and great value.

Well it was so-so, not good not bad just average. The waiters seemed to be so bored and fed up, we almost felt sorry for them... Will not go there again.

Followed a guidebook recommendation to eat here and it proved to be an excellent tip! 14 Euro buffet (including soup if you want it) had variety of pastas, salad items and other dishes. Excellent choice of wine by the glass (tasting prior to serving) to complement the meal.

We ate at Babette for our last meal in Rome on our hotels recommendation. It was a lovely meal from beginning to end. Our waitress, who spoke English very well, was unfailingly helpful with suggestions, all of which were spot on. The service was excellent and quiet allowing us to have a great discussion. You can't go wrong here.
