We had the best lunch at Bambino‘s! We were celebrating and love the atmosphere, great service and terrific menu choices! The salads are creative and so fresh. We tried two of the lasagnas and pizza. All were top-notch, topping it off with delicious desserts. We can’t wait to go back again!

It's an excellent restaurant. Years ago it wasn't so good. I think since a new owner took over 4 years ago it has improved significantly. The music is not too loud, but with a full restaurant, it's quite noisy.

Thanks for stopping by, Deborah. We're glad you enjoyed your visit and look forward to seeing you again soon.

It was our second time at Bambino’s (as we live in Marin so a bit of a ride), but we intend to come back when in the City to enjoy other dishes off the menu. Costas (the Owner) greeted us and made a couple of really good recommendations from the menu. After that Anjali our waitress took very good care serving our table. Great neighborhood gem. Highly recommend Bambino’s Ristorante. .

Crunchy thin crust pizza, nice petrale sole with corn meal crust, overall nice dinner for a rainy Sunday supper. And at prices that seem comparably fair for a local neighborhood spot.
