Babylon - Raleigh

The food was not up to the par. We drove from Greensboro just to eat here. I had high hopes for this restaurant based on the reviews, but I was sorely disappointed. Definitely would not come here again. Spent a good amount of money but it was not worth it. We got the mushroom ravioli, chicken pesto pizza (my dad makes better pizza in our wood fire oven), we also got gnocchi. The sause was mediocre. The sauce on the ravioli and the gnocchi was the same. For desert we got tiramisu and their sphere of chocolate? The ambiance was also good but overall, I wouldn’t come here again. We had to stop somewhere else on the way home.

Boujee atmosphere, loud, I couldn't hear the person sitting across the table from me. Terrible music, it was like club music at an Italian restaurant?? Overpriced food, but the pasta was delicious! The appetizer was pretty Terrible though, it was a special of the night and it was bread with the most bland mozzarella cheese I've had in my life and cherry tomatoes with basil and supposedly some sauce. The dessert was amazing chocolate lava cake with ice cream. Oh and the parking sucks too, everyone parks wherever they feel like, sometimes trapping people in!

Ambience is the best, quiet and warm. Risotto was undercooked (rice was crunchy), margherita pizza had only one basil leaf (should have more otherwise it’s just a cheese pizza with tomatoes).

Wow. I have been to most of the notable Italian spots in the Triangle, and this one was just class. Ambiance really made it for my girlfriend and I; great wine list, great service. Can't go wrong!

If the food only matched the ambiance… Really cool location! Restaurant is beautiful and fun, but sadly that is where the good stuff ends. Food is really disappointing. Small-ish menu with food that doesn’t live up to the hyped up descriptions. Pizza downright stunk; I only ate it because I paid $24 for it! Carbonara was gelatinous and flavorless. Salad was good, but the buratta was too firm, probably because it was a few days old. Service was blah. Everything came out fine, but the waitress was inattentive and disinterested. Never said hi or welcome, literally just walked up and said, “drinks?” Much better food options in the area. Too bad because the place seems cool. I won’t be back.
