We had the pasta tasting with the Riserva Selection of wines which all four of us thought was amazing. The black spaghetti was so flavorful with balanced flavors of crab and chilis. I also really liked the garganelli (black truffle pesto) - the mushrooms had a slight resistance to the bite with big flavors. So yummy! My friends thought the the pappardelle bolognese was the best. And, of course, the pasta was perfectly prepared al dente. Each dish was beautifully presented, maybe 6 bites to each plate. There were a series of 5 plates for each of us. Plenty of food. After the meal we had what I believe was a raspberry sorbet as a palate cleanser. Excellent! We had several desserts including the olive oil cake. Unfortunately at that point I was too full to have more than small tastes but they were excellent as well. The pairing of the wines with the food was spot on. At each turn the sommelier talked us through the wines and the tastes that we could expect. We thought the sommelier was a great communicator - not too much, not too little - and very enthusiastic. The service was superb, everything I would expect from Babbo. We were attended to and never rushed. Excellent at every step. We did have one big problem: the music. The music that was played over the speakers was 70's rock, sometimes even hard rock. It was so loud that a couple of times we could hardly hear the sommelier. We asked the waiter and the sommelier if it could be turned down and they said they would do what they could. But it did not improve. Finally I got up and walked downstairs to talk to the manager. He told me that this style of music was preferred by the owner (meaning he could/would not change it) but he would see what he could do about the volume. Maybe it was turned down a little? I am not sure, but it definitely cast a shadow over the evening. The last time we were there I do not recall it being such a problem. Loud, head banging music is not what I want to hear when I am having a lovely dinner at Babbo. Our guests were European and it was even harder for them. We had to yell to hear each other during regular conversation which was awkward. This aspect of our evening was so disappointing, especially since no one seemed to be able to help us. None of us could understand why this was such a problem since it is so easily fixable. I would have given it 5 stars except for the music. Because of this I doubt we would return.
