Babbo is without doubt one of the best Italian restaurants in London at the moment. The entire team always seem to go well above and beyond to ensure that you have a fantastic experience whether it's a quick lunch or a long lazy dinner. The restaurant has a nice chic but relaxed feel to it and the rustic inspired menu is fantastic with plenty of traditional dishes given the special treatment by chef Doug Santi.

I've dined there several times over the past few months and still find it difficult to choose as the menu has so many highlights. As many of the previous reviews point out on top of the great food and wine you are made to feel so welcome – something that often seems to slip in restaurants nowadays. Babbo is definitely one for a special occasion and ideal to treat yourself. Prices are on the higher side but to be honest everything is so perfect it's impossible to fault the bill.

If Babbo doesn't have a star come January then there is something deeply wrong with the Michelin Guide! If I could find a bookie I'd stake my house on it!
