ABOUT

BABBO WINE CLUB

Join us every Monday and Tuesday for lunch or dinner and enjoy a selection of bottles from our private cellar at merchant trade prices; exclusively while dining at Babbo.

Each month, our award-winning Head Sommelier Yuri Gualeni will hand-pick an evolving list of standout bottles from the cellar: hidden gems, iconic labels, and seasonal favourites. An early week gift from us to you to enable you to discover wines typically reserved for special occasions, offered at reduced pricing and once they are gone, they are gone. 

THE DADDY

Babbo, meaning “Daddy” in Italian, is a neighbourhood restaurant that embodies La Dolce Vita meets Little Italy – the pinnacle of the Italian dream.

Offering a charming day to night dining experience, the restaurant focuses on authentic Italian cuisine, from lunch, aperitivo through to dinner, rooted in family and traditions. A home from home nestled in St John’s Wood High Street, Babbo is a place to tell stories and create new memories with friends and family; we’re your Italian escape.

THE FOOD

From creative antipasti and knockout feasts to bold pasta dishes, this is food that brings people together.

Babbo’s menus have been meticulously created by Executive Chef Nicola Cariglia. Grounded in his Southern Italian upbringing and inspired by his mother’s kitchen and family life that made food the centrepiece of daily rituals. Celebrating the elegance and simplicity of traditional Italian cooking, enjoy a range of signature dishes, that showcase the finest seasonal ingredients, inspired by secret family recipes passed down from generation to generation.

THE DRINK

Ask any Italian and they’ll tell you a meal is more enjoyable with a perfectly paired drink. Our drinks list boasts a curated selection of fine wines and quintessential handcrafted Italian cocktails which can all be enjoyed alongside your meal or at the main bar pre and post-meal.

The home of Chianti, Barolo, Prosecco, Valpolicella, Soave, Orvieto, Etna, Italy has a rich and diverse wine heritage dating back more than four thousand years. Our wine list takes you on a journey through Italy as well as a selection of premium bottles to toast those special moments.
