One Great Anniversary

Ryan and I have a love for Mario Batali. So for our anniversary we decided to go to his main restaurant downtown. It is right next to Washington Square park and it is call Babbo. It was seven courses of yummy goodness.
starter: chick pea brochette yummy thing
1st course: prosciutto ham, cheese, and fiddleheads
2nd course: wide homemade paste, morel mushrooms, with a butter and sage sauce
3rd course: duck and goat cheese puree in a ravioli with a tomato sauce
4th course: small pieces of lamb with faba bean puree
cheese course: goat cheese with honey and fennel
5th course: a pear cake thing (sorry hard to explain)
6th course: a scoop of gelato covered in chocolate sprinkled with cookie crumbs
7th course: a warm molten chocolate cake, and Ryan had a lemon tart cake thing.
then they brought out 3 little cookies to try
It was a crazy amount of food but it was wonderful. I was a little worried about having the tasting menu because I know that Mario Batali makes some really crazy things. But I loved every bite (even the mushrooms and I don't like mushrooms). One of the hardest things about New York is that there are so many restaurants. You find one that you love but it is hard to go back because there are so many new ones to try. But Babbo is one restaurant that we might have to go back too.
