"I really liked this restaurant. The night before we ate at another restaurant twice as expensive and ordered very similar dishes. I am pleased to say that this was as good if not better than the night before. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The other diners all seemed to be enjoying themselves. I recommend that you give it a try."

"Delicious brunch and they accomidated my Sister's 6 month old. Really great that they take reservations, especially with Zazie right next door, which can be impossible to get into. I thought the brunch menu was killer, with endless coffee options, fresh orange and grapefruit juice, and 4 or 5 kinds of Benedicts."

"Bambino's is a find. The food is high quality and very well prepared. The owner is incredibly friendly and really knows wine. He offers wine specials each week--that provide opportunities to try new wine at great values. He also is an outstanding pastry chef--and makes to die for gelato. The staff could provides excellent service and could not be friendlier!!"
