Must-haves at Babbo

hey - i'm going to babbo tonight with a group. I was wondering if anyone who has been there can tell me some items on the menu that we should definitely order. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My favorites last month were the pasta with foie gras and balsamic sauce, and the pasta with the goat cheese and pollen.

If i visited babbo again i would definitely order the maple mascarpone cheesecake and bbq octupus. and im the kind of person that almost never orders the same thing twice, it's just those two items were so damn goodd. my favorite pasta there was the goat cheese tortelli.
my dad's three favorite things were the beef cheeks ravioli, the semifreddo, and the bbq octupus.

I love his pastas. Go with the Pasta Tasting menu and get to sample a LOT of them!

IMO the pig's foot Milanese and the pork chop are two of the very best things on the menu.

it'd be criminal to miss the beef cheek ravioli

The menu doesn't change a whole lot at Babbo, so even the older recommendation threads will still be very helpful.
