Babbo Pinsa Romana & Wijn in Fatima

Voor het eerst hier een hapje gaan eten. Niet de zoveelste pizzeria maar hele andere gerechten. We hebben hier geweldig lekker gegeten. Sfeervol restaurant, niet te groot maar gewoon gezellig. Buiten nog een terrasje deels overdekt. Personeel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Wat een ambiance, heerlijk op het gemak gegeten. Aangezien ik bij een eerste bezoek aan een Italiaan altijd ga voor de Ossobuco ook hier de keuze gemaakt om deze te nemen. Een heerlijke op smaak gemaakte schenkel in een heerlijke tomatensaus, ook prettig dat je de spaghetti op een apart bord geserveerd krijgt. Het vlees was zoals ik het noem beetgaar, hij had wat mij betreft iets langer mogen op staan. De eigenaar Marcel van Look kwam aan tafel omdat ik de gaarheid net niet goed genoeg vond, wel vergeten te vragen of de schenkel sousvide was bereid of traditioneel. Maar ik ga zeker binnenkort terug want ik had een zeer geslaagde avond. En ik weet nu ook wat ik bij mijn nieuwe reservering moet schrijven als opmerking ;-) dankjewel Marcel en staf.

We had a reservation for 8:15 pm and were seated quickly, but after that... things took their time. Menus were not available until 9:00 pm, and drinks around 9:15 pm. Fortunately, the food (pasta and pizza) arrived fairly quickly. It was good, but nothing memorable. The most frustrating thing: after finishing our plates, we waited almost half an hour before anyone came to take care of them or offer us dessert. A special mention goes to the server, however: very friendly and helpful, even if he did forget about us at times. Let's just say it was an off night for the team... too bad, it was our fault. Maybe better another day.

Wat een super leuk restaurant! Klein maar oh zo’n leuk terras en leuk personeel. Super gastvrij allemaal. Daarnaast is een hondje ook welkom. Absoluut een leuk menukaart en een top wijnkaart. Heerlijk en genoten van het eten en de wijnen. Prijs-kwaliteit is heel goed.

We came into this restaurant expecting a traditional, good Italian cuisine based on the reviews we had seen. Yet, we were faced with poorly seasoned, bland dishes and long waits. While the atmosphere was quaint and expectations were high, just like the prices, the halibut had undercooked, outright raw potatoes with a basic roasted pea and kale combo that added little to no complexity to the dish other than increase our desire for any sort of seasoning. Whilst the halibut itself was cooked very well, the rest of the dish failed to capture our attention. It became notable that the expertise of the chef would be in question from the frittata we received at the beginning of the evening. Instead of the rich yet simple dish frittatas are, we received a soggy Philadelphia sandwich which completely missed the mark. Needless to say it was incredibly disappointing off the bat. The sword fish carpaccio was actually well put together considering it is merely a raw cut of fish, and the orange was a good complement, though the dish left much to be desired. It was desperately still thirsting for anything, anyone could come up with. The lobster tortellini seemed to be the popular option for the night, also recommended by staff. Upon arrival, aside from already being visually underwhelming, the dish was heavily masked by the thick tortellini dough with little to no flavor of the lobster coming through. Unfortunately the dish itself was so shallow that there isn’t much else to say about it. To end the night, after waiting 45 minutes per dish, for the starters and the main individually, we were finally met with a “short” 20 minute wait for the dessert. The tiramisu was satisfying and well made, making us atleast somewhat satisfied for the night. Leaving the restaurant, one walks away feeling somewhat satisfied with the money and time put towards the experience considering the quality of service, food, and complexity yet the recurring consensus we received at Babbo is that, whilst the chef would be able to cook me a weekday dinner, for the prices charged they should not be at the back of a kitchen with the lack of depth and creativity the menu had.

It's great to see that the staff really cares about the products they use, from plants to wine. The abundance of greenery on the patio also creates the perfect patio atmosphere. Potted plants complement the restaurant's style beautifully. The food is also excellent! She also prepared a delicious negroni after closing time, enjoying the candlelight.

Wonderful place to eat well and drink fine wines!

I had a great meal, you have a lot of choice in starters so we shared everything. And the main course was really excellent. We will definitely come back more often.

Expensive place, bad experience. We have been there with couple of people and a little Sausage dog. We were informed that we the pets were not allowed inside. 30 minutes after our arrival, a Dutch group came, and they directly sit inside with their huge, mountain dog (Saint Bernard). Similar to other experiences in the comments, they didn’t allow us to bring our friend’s small dog, as we were “foreigners”. As a person coming from Italy, I am deeply disappointed by their so called Italian food. Their name “babbo” is in Tuscan dialect, and they claim to make cibo Romano? Make up your mind. Then my carbonara (supposedly a typical dish from Roma) was a disaster. The egg wasn’t mixed well, the souse was wet, not creamy! Then guanciale was completely burned. Their pinsa is also a joke, that dish is not typical italian. It is not a main dish, as tho they serve such. Even tho we had a reservation at 5pm, we waited more than hour to receive our food. Of course Dutch tables got their orders before us, even tho they came after us.

Was very good. Good explanation and staff that really enjoys it. Be careful if you take the specialty as a starter. That platter is great but also very much. Oysters good. Actually everything. Worth repeating. Not cheap but you know that in advance.

For years we have been coming to Babbo regularly for dinner. It is always very cozy and more importantly; the food is great. I can always enjoy their vitello tonato and the delicious pinsa's. For years the best restaurant in Tilburg!

Don't tell anyone, otherwise it will become too crowded

Reserved and received the message that we could use the table for two hours. So okay. This is reported again upon arrival. Okay. This is reported again upon ordering. Okay. This is reported again upon serving the first course. Okay. This is reported again upon clearing. Okay. This is reported again upon serving the main course. Okay. When clearing, the question was “do you want another dessert?” to which I asked, is there still time for that? “yes” Dessert is served after a long time with the request “quickly slide in, pay, grab your coat and get lost because the next ones are waiting. In my opinion not very nice because you want the turnover but the customer can't enjoy it. Not very nice but then I got angry because I chose those two hours, asked if I could still have dessert. This visit was a very disappointing experience for me especially considering that I was with friends who I had recommended this restaurant to. Tip don't offer dessert because I understood that because I have already heard more than five times that we could use the table for two hours which in reality was only 1 3/4 hours. The ice cream or dessert would then have been consumed elsewhere at an ice cream parlor or something. Won't make any difference but I haven't been there for at least a year now and I spend my money where we are treated properly and honestly.

Really appreciated this find in Tilburg, great pinsa, pasta, loved the escargots! Very nicely balanced tastes!

Wat een geweldig restaurant! Gastvrijheid een dikke vette tien! Het eten was super lekker, we genoten van de slakken, carpaccio, spaghetti en Osobuco. Wat een heerlijkheid. En super vriendelijke mensen, erg genoten.

Sometimes you come across a gem and this is one!! Delicious food, delicious wine, nice staff and a nice atmosphere. We will definitely come back 💯

This is really recommended if you want to eat authentic Italian in a cozy restaurant in Tilburg. Super friendly and helpful service. Definitely not the last time I come here…

I have to say something The two of us made a reservation at 5 p.m. and had a very nice meal... There is nothing to complain about!!! (🐌 escargot 🐌 highly recommended) ravioli with lobster 🦞 !!! Delicious …..But if you get the bill without asking, well… a bit of a shame!!0m 18.45🧐

Wat een heerlijke plek. Lekker knus, heerlijk echt goed bereid eten met mooie producten. Ontzettend klantvriendelijk bediening. We komen hier regelmatig met onze kinderen van 4 en 6. Gaan dan wel heel vroeg, en het is zo mooi om te zien hoe de bediening ook contact met hun maakt en oog voor ze heeft. De bediening weet ook alles van de gerechten, proeft deze ook zelf en dat merk je. Ze vertellen er vol passie over en kunnen goed adviseren. Absolute aanrader, maar ik hoop nog wel dat het ook een beetje een verborgen pareltje blijft!!

Neat restaurant, good flavor combinations. Very good sweetbreads, nicely crispy and soft

We had dinner at Babbo yesterday, we had made a reservation at 5 p.m. and the reservation confirmation stated that we had to leave the table at 6:45 p.m. But if you only get your starter at 6 p.m., it is quite difficult to eat 3 courses in 45 minutes! An hour of waiting is quite a long time in an atmosphere where only 1 table was occupied at the time of arrival. The main course was very small so we also wanted a dessert. We were therefore asked if we wanted dessert if we wanted to sit outside. Now luckily the weather allowed it, but if they hadn't made us wait so long we could have just eaten it at our table. The starter and dessert were tasty, but we expected more from the main course, given the price!

Nice little Italian restaurant. Food prepared with attention to detail and taste. Great wines. Friendly staff. Only downside is the acoustics inside, which is really bad if the restaurant is crowded.

Had a nice evening with delicious Italian food. Atmospheric place. Popular place too because it was packed. Food was good and tasty. Staff was also nice and friendly but one waitress was a bit rushed and short. But the rest made up for it completely. Will definitely come back.

Nice little place, delicious food, everything neatly presented and served. Definitely worth repeating.

Prima eten voor een leuke prijs. Wat opviel is de diversiteit van gasten, zowel gezinnen, vrienden, dates konden volgens mij een prima diner hier hebben. Vriendelijk personeel die een leuke presentatie hadden van eten en de wijn.

Delicious dinner tonight! A lot of attention has been paid to all dishes, both by the chefs and the service. Very nice friendly atmosphere. The restaurant is very nicely decorated. Price and quality are also very fair. I will definitely come back here! Grazie :)

Excelente comida italiana moderna en un acogedor y elegante interior original. Pinsa, carbonara y raviolis de langosta estaban deliciosos. Sugerencias de los camareros si los vinos encajan de maravilla

Recommended! Ate here yesterday with friends. It was a great evening! The food was super tasty, the wines were really great and the lovely woman who helped us all evening was a real sweetheart. In short, we really enjoyed it and will definitely go back!

We have already eaten there once and we will go back.

Echt heerlijk gegeten. Ossobuco en kreeftravioli als hoofdgerecht. Zelden vriendelijkere bediening meegemaakt. Op de terugweg naar huis nog nagenoten. God wat was dat lekker. Gaan na dry januari zeker terug....

Picked up a Pinsa Romana for the first time to enjoy it at home. So that was "DELICIOUS"😘😍 The Pinsa was still nice and warm even though I still had to drive 7 minutes before I got home. Thanks Marcel van Look

What a super cozy restaurant this is. In addition to the delicious food, we also had very nice wines and good advice about wine selection. We had a great evening.

Nice atmosphere, enthusiastic and friendly, delicious food! Those few people who give 1 star must be really bad...

Delicious Italian dishes and very tasty meat... 🥰♥️🥰 the 'spaghetti con polpette' gets 10/10 from us.

Another wonderful evening with delicious food, surprising dishes, nice wine list and good and pleasant service! Compliments!

We hebben hier op een donderdagavond heerlijk gegeten. Restaurant was eigenlijk vol. Maar om 8 uur konden we nog een plekje bemachtigen. Heerlijk crostini met eendenlever. Zag er fantastisch uit. Lekker pinches. Carpaccio was zo ontzettend mals. De lekkerste die ik ooiit gegeten heb. Heer.ijke spahetti aiolilo.

Onze avond was onvergetelijk met fantastische maaltijden en nóg beter; de gastvrijheid en wijsheden van gastheer Guus. Wie hém kan strikken is de koning. Chapeau

Top place, delicious food and fantastic wine👍

Super place and delicious food, nice staff.

We thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful evening filled with good wines and delicious food.

Nice place with good food and excellent service

Don't understand why this restaurant has such a high rating. The prizes are above average, but the food below average. Pizza wasn't tasty, and lasagna was burnt. The waiters were very nice l, that's why I give it 3.

We didnt book and officially it was booked out. thanks to nice service chief we received a place. the food is great, fresh, authentic italian and a nicecathmosphere. service personnel is great and very kind. ci vediamo presto.

Fantastic food. Good atmosphere. Helpful service. I can recommend the osso bucco while enjoying a barbera wine.

Great food great service they are very customer focused

When we first arrived, we were told that they don't accept walk-ins without a reservation. So, we made a reservation by phone, and then the waiter walked away with a negative expression on her face. After five minutes, she came back, during which time 4-5 tables were empty, yet we were left standing. When she returned, still with a sour expression, we were told to sit at a specific table. We waited for 25 minutes to get a menu, and only after asking for it were we finally handed one. One of my friends has a significant following on social media, and we shared a story about our experience. After that, they came over to apologize and even tried to offer us complimentary items. The chef also came to ask if we had any special requests. I can’t help but wonder, do you only cater to Dutch customers? And would we have received the same polite treatment if my friend didn’t have such a large following? As for the food, I had read that their pizza was the best in the city; however, it was extremely dry, and I didn’t enjoy it at all. I definitely won’t be returning and absolutely do not recommend this place.

I had heard all kinds of positive reports about this restaurant through the grapevine. And tonight it turned out to be right. Delicious food, there are very nice dishes on the menu! And nice wine. But what is especially striking is the friendly staff. There were 3 or 4 girls walking around and they really got it. Super friendly and thoughtful! You don't often come across that anymore, but here you do. All the more reason for me to go here again!

we were looking for a nice restaurant with a tasty Italian menu delicious food in a very pleasant environment and friendly service We will definitely go back there again

Very nice staff. Was here with my 7-year-old daughter. But the restaurant is not suitable for children. That makes the assessment slightly more negative. This Italian does not serve pizzas but rather flat bread with pizza toppings. Nice prices.

We had a delicious meal here. The duck breast starter in particular was really excellent. The service and atmosphere were good and nothing to complain about. If we were from around here we would definitely come back here more often. Highly recommended.

In my opinion, Babbo deserves a big 10+. Cozy restaurant, delicious food and very friendly staff

We were surprised by this Italian pearl in Tilburg. The food was excellent. We recommend the pizza/Pinsa with sourdough base, Raviola Veal Cheek and Ossobuco. It was quite busy on a Sunday evening and therefore it took quite a while. With children I would only order a main course.

Dank je Guus voor het heerlijke eten en je prima wij advies. De keukenbrigade was weer i In topvorm😎We komen snel weer terug😁

The good reviews led us there spontaneously and we were not disappointed... Thank you for the lovely and delicious evening - there was one thing we couldn't notice in particular: not enough toppings, as other reviews said... The pinsas were very well topped, tasted very good, we were completely satisfied.

Super atmosphere and, above all, great service and great guidance and explanation at the table by the host. Classic in a fun, playful way, definitely recommended.

Very poor service, waited 1.5 hours for a starter and another 1.5 hours for the main course, so we skipped the offspring !!!!!

Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere.

In my opinion it is the best italian restaurant in Tilburg.

Delicious food and very friendly staff

Super cozy, delicious food and even though the owners had to serve themselves. Highly recommended.

Heerlijk gegeten! Alles was lekker vers gemaakt voor een gangbare prijs. De bediening was super. Goede adviezen voor bijpassende wijnen. Wij komen zeker een keer terug!

My friend and I recently enjoyed an evening at this charming Italian restaurant and it was a fantastic experience. What immediately struck us was the excellent service, something you don't find everywhere these days. The employees really did their best to give us the most pleasant evening possible. Of particular note was a waitress who studies journalism. Her kindness and genuine interest made our dinner even more special. She asked us questions and showed real interest in our stories, which made the experience very personal and warm. And then the food: delicious pizzas! Every bite was a pleasure. The flavors were perfectly balanced and it was clear that a lot of attention and love had gone into the preparation. Overall, a great evening with delicious food and exceptional service. This restaurant is highly recommended for anyone looking for a pleasant, personal culinary experience. We will definitely come back!

Tasty but portions too small (spaghetti)

This small restaurant is highly praised by many people in Tilburg. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant feels good. The platter of snacks and the mushrooms as a starter were delicious, but the main course was quite disappointing, the "pizzas" were mediocre toppings and in terms of quantity they were more like a sandwich for lunch. The chef' special risotto was very satisfying. All in all, the price-quality ratio is disappointing.

Wonderful evening with colleagues. A 6-course dinner with matching wine. Great night!

Great tasteful food. Very good. Coming back for sure to taste more. (And the Negroni was also very good)

Fantastic meal again, great staff, super tasty food, nice place

Ate here for the 2nd time. How wonderful it was again. Staff is also great. Thanks Guus for the top service and also those girls. Everyone is equally friendly!! Highly recommended.

Wij waren er voor de eerste keer en zeker niet de laatste!! Het eten is heerlijk alles is vers, je voelt Italië op het bord ! Echt aanrader ! Zeer aardige bediening!!

What a surprise. Had a great meal here with my family. Nice menu with a wide choice of delicious dishes. Nice wine list with a good variation also in price. And then those lovely people in the service, wonderful. In short, we had a wonderful, wonderful evening. We'll be back soon.

Fantastic small Italian restaurant, food and service out of this world, with great atmosphere. They know their wines, you can taste what you like. The best escargots I had in my life. We will be back.

Have eaten at Babbo Pinsa several times and have been pleasantly surprised every time. What delicious dishes are on the menu. Ordered an antipasti this time. A beautiful board with an assortment of starters. Then a pinsa with fresh tuna and ended with a delicious tiramisu. Recommended!

Great restaurant. Friendly staff with passion. Delicious dishes and wines. Great night. Recommended!

Very tasty food with friendly and good service. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed the Carpaccio and Vitelli Tonato, then the delicious mushrooms, with the tarte tartin and Tiramisu for dessert, all accompanied by a delicious rosé. The hospitable, friendly service made the evening complete and is certainly a reason to come back again!

Delicious food and good wine. Truly a hidden gem! Good price-quality ratio.

Delicious food and super good service and you can also enjoy the food in a very relaxed way 👌👍

Very cozy restaurant, delicious honest products and very fine wines. Here they give you the peace and quiet to dine instead of rushing through the aisles. A pleasure, but make sure you make a reservation!

Enorm vriendelijk personeel, persoonlijke aandacht en heerlijk eten. Ongedwongen en fijne sfeer. We komen snel weer terug!!

Service 6 out of 5 and delicious food.

Pleasant. Delicious food. Committed employees

Wat een lekker eten hebben ze hier!! Dol op hun vak en een enorm warm welkom met liefde voor hun gasten. De gerechten zijn heerlijk verfijnd van smaak. Als je heerlijk wilt eten is dit een aanrader. Voldoende en gratis parkeergelegenheid is ook prettig.

A gem of an Italian restaurant on the outskirts of Tilburg. Warm welcome with a personal touch. Surprising menu with good quality dishes. The Pinsa is a pizza variant with the tastiest crusty crunch base ever. All generously provided with various toppings. The only downside... waited a little too long for the main course, but they politely apologized for that. All in all, simply a top tent.

Surprisingly delicious food in a small, nice restaurant. It was fun! Highly recommended!

Delicious dinner tonight, both starters and main courses and the wines were excellent. Service is top notch, hostess does her job excellently. Friendly and hospitable, I also notice that the chef/owner does their job with love and passion. Thank you for this nice dinner, see you soon. Yours sincerely, Yong Hu

Delicious food, definitely recommended if you like Italian food.

Fantastisch gegeten in dit restaurant! Van te voren reserveren is aan te raden. Leuke bediening en super gastvrij. Een heerlijk en knus restaurant met een leuke menukaart, Dus voor ieder wat wils. Ook de wijnen zijn geweldig. De prijs-kwaliteitverhouding is heel goed.

What a nice place with delicious food. You can taste the attention! And very good staff. It was a great dinner!

Delicious and enjoyable meal at Babbo Pinsa Romana & wine. Enjoyed the atmosphere, professional service and especially the delicious dishes such as the antipasti deluxe appetizer board with fantastic side dishes such as oysters, vitella tonato, escargot and more. We are very spoiled, highly recommended!

The food and wine were delicious. I will definitely come back to taste more!

Very good food and great atmosphere. Will definitely come back several times.

Heerlijk gegeten, top! Duurde wat lang voordat het toetje kwam, maar dat werd weer rechtgezet doordat we de koffie in mindering werd gebracht.

Echt een van de beste Italiaanse restaurants waar ik ooit (in Nederland) heb gegeten. Afgelopen week voor de tweede keer geweest. Het eten is vers en op smaak. De bediening is erg enthousiast en weten je op je wenken te bedienen. De wijnen op de wijnkaart zijn van goede kwaliteit en zijn gevarieerd en betaalbaar.

Gezellig sfeervol restaurant. Heerlijk eten. Heb werkelijk genoten. De bediening was perfect, voorkomend en behulpzaam.

Heerlijk gegeten en leuke kaart!

Great Italian style restaraunt. Atmosphere neat, well selected delicious menu. Very friendly service. Take time to choose what you like 🍅

Vriendelijke bediening en het eten is qua prijs kwaliteit verhouding matig tot goed. Leuke avond gehad.

Na een tip van Stella Suites gereserveerd en een top avond gehad! Echt geweldige bediening en het eten: Absoluut Top! Meedenken over Vega in de keuken en de wijn adviezen van de bediening Spot On! Na een fijne ontvangst met amuse en een heerlijke aperitief onder het genot van een uitstekende geadviseerde wijn bij de gerechten, absoluut genoten van het eten. Babbo Pinsa heeft een mooie menukaart. Complimenten voor het personeel en de keuken! Dank voor de fijne avond!

Reservering online was fout gegaan, maar er werd gelijk in oplossingen. Super beleefde bediening. Eenmaal aan tafel, goed geholpen, het eten was heerlijk. Lasagne en pinsa's gegeten. Echt een aanrader.

Wat een ontzettend goed Italiaans restaurant. Lang geleden dat ik zo lekker gegeten heb. En zeer vriendelijk kundig personeel
