Babbo's – Hearty American-Italian

Despite Babbo’s not so welcoming entrance in Stanford shopping center, the restaurant is worth a visit to have a lunch while shopping. I would not go there as a sole destination, but it works more than well in a casual lunch or dinner joint.

The food is Italian with some American influence. Surprisingly enough, the portions are not huge, but sized right for average people. You don’t feel bloated after leaving the restaurant.

We ate pastas and salads during lunch time. Pastas were great, but I cannot recommend the salads to anyone. I’ve never seen so weird version of Caesar salad. It was nowhere close to the normal delicious salad, but more of a new way (that didn’t work) of putting the salad together from the same ingredients.
