Babbo, one of New York’s most iconic Italian restaurants at 110 Waverly Place, has been acquired by Stephen Starr and Starr Restaurant Group. Michelin-starred Del Posto’s former chef Mark Ladner has been hired to run the kitchen. Babbo made a splash when it was opened in 1998 by Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich. Batali left the business in 2017. Starr Restaurant Group’s New York restaurants include Buddakan, Upland, Pastis, Le Coucou and others. Bernstein Redo & Savitsky, P.C. is proud to be a part of the Babbo and Starr Restaurant Group team.
