My boyfriend and I were craving some pizza and decided to check out Bambino. We've been meaning to do so for months - my boyfriend goes to ABP and always raved about how good Bambino smelled, since they're right next door. We ordered the Frankie pizza and the cheesy garlic bread, both to-go. Both were tasty, although the pizza was pretty burnt on one half of it. Nevertheless, the taste was good. I ended up drizzling some honey on it at home, which was a great choice! With tip, these 2 items came out to $37, so it's definitely a pricey spot. Not sure if/when we will be back here, simply because there are cheaper and equally tasty options elsewhere in town.

I wish that Yelp allowed half stars because then I would have given it 3.5 stars.I am a big fan of sandwiches and had been craving a sandwich. I keep "kosher style" so for me, a sandwich generally means a Turkey sandwich of some sort.I ordered through Uber eats for pick up. In the app they also had a "deal" on their garlic cheesy bread, so I figured I would give it a shot as well.The sandwich was $12+tax, not entirely unreasonable these days (heck, Jersey mikes or snarfs will cost at least that much with lesser quality ingredients and homeslice is a couple of dollars more) tbe garlic cheeses bread "on sale" was $8.The parking situation here is a real turn off. I lucked out and got one of the "reserved" parking spots for bambinos but there is very limited parking and the street parking isn't great either.I arrived about 10-15 minutes after I ordered. The staff was friendly and greeted me right away and directed me where to go to pick up my order. Good thing they did because I didn't notice any signage that would have directed me to where I needed to go. I was pretty hungry and I hate a soggy sandwich so, I decided to at least take the first couple of bites in my car. Ended up eating my whole meal in the car right there. It was a good sandwich. No real conplaints. Initially I thought it was a bit on the small side, but it was fairly filling. The flavors were great and it didn't get too soggy, though it was a little soggy. The bread definitely lost its crunch as I got towards the last few bites, but so it goes. I would go back for this sandwiches. You could tell the bread was fresh and the ingredients were good quality and it had great flavor. Would be great if there was some side options that would work with the sandwich. I would have liked something to accompany it.The garlic cheese bread was disappointing. Not sure it was worth the $8, and definitely wouldn't pay the regular price of $10. The bread just soaked up the oil or butter or whatever they were using so it was squishy and just oozing oil. Not sure if they used too much, or if it is a combination of the oil/butter and the oil from the cheese, but it just wasn't good. It had very little crisp to it the way a good garlic bread should. The flavor was fine I guess if you could get past practically drinking the oil from a sponge.I didn't get pizza here, but I did see the pizzas on various tables as I walked through, and I personally don't think I would ever come here for pizza (maybe at happy hour, maybe). For my money and taste, I still think homeslice is the best and you can get a larger pizza at homeslice for the same price they are charging here.I think, if I were near by, I would come back here for the sandwich again, assuming the price doesn't creep up, and the portion size and quality doesn't creep down, but I don't think I would dine in here (counter service with a mandatory built in gratuity. I get the reasoning behind it etc, but I have a problem with a mandatory gratuity somewhere that isn't even full service) and I really don't think I'd come for the pizza, definitely not at full price.For the owner: always been interested in trying the other spot, but since I don't eat pork or shellfish, I have found that menu to be very unaccommodating which is a shame for a place that holds passover Seders etc. hope you can do better on that, but since it's been pretty successful, I'm guessing that won't happen.Give the place a try for yourself, just be prepared for the terrible parking and the mandatory gratuity, and if your going for the pizza, I'd definitely recommend trying to get there during happy hour

Molto bene Bambino!!Four of us came here last night for the first time. We could not have been happier, we tried four different pies and will be coming back to try the rest. The Copa Cabana's chewy crust was topped with an ample amount of sauce, copper and orange marmalade slices. Did it work? It was a marriage made in heaven.The Cacio Pepe pizza is a worthy medium for the classic Roman sauce. The Ceasar salad was fresh, with just right amount of cheese and topped with two large anchovies, and big crunchy croutons.We enjoyed a very good Multipulciano with our pizzas and look forward to trying some of the inventive cocktails next time. The service was friendly and efficient, the ambience is festive and welcoming. We didn't mind that a 20% charge was added to our bill as it is used for health insurance and providing the great servers with a living wage. I wish we had some photos to post but we were busy enjoying the delicious food.

This is one of the few spots in Austin that is able to replicate a more authentic Italian pizza. Well balanced sauce not too sweet, well baked pizza dough, my pet peeve is a burnt bottom (yes the bottom of the pizza is just as important as the top!) they baked their pizza just right, well done. Sure, toppings are important but if you can make a good dough that is talent for me, honestly they exceeded my expectations with the dough, bravo. I would come back again to try more items and see how consistent they are. They have both indoor and outdoor dining with plenty of space. Pleasant wait staff.

One of best pizzas in the game, top tier pizza everything from ingredients to the crust, it is all hand made or it taste like it. Hands down, crispy and crunchy flaky airy crust, definitely taste like it's coming out of an Italian oven. Love the crispy edges on the crust, it has somewhat of a nutty taste. The cacio pepe is an amazing pie, white creamy sauce, the funky taste but with the lemon cutting thru it, I mean this pizza needs lemon and boyyyy it is incredible. Love the crispy onions on top. No flop! Uncle Frankie, you want meat? You got meat, add the crispy crust with the hint of tomato sauce, I love how the meats really sing in this pie, the sauce isn't overpowering the taste, it's a well balanced vegetable and meat thin pie.Little stinker, same beautiful crust but you can really taste the cheese and the mushrooms, love the high quality cheese taste, semi tart but sweet, creamy at the same time. Plus funky from the cheese. The mushrooms have a nice firm ness and overall unique pizza.I think everyone in Austin has had wing stop, the ranch is famous. I will say, this ranch from Bambino is better than wing stop. It has the best ranch seriously. More people need to find out how the ranch is from Bambino, they should bottle it and sell it.

I really liked this restaurant! I think the lower rating is harsh but maybe we had a different experience than other people. Ours:1. The Tracksuit pizza was amazing. I will be coming back for this pizza alone! Great flavor combo and cooked to perfection. 2. The Mi Scusi was above average but not amazing. I think the sesame seeds detracted from the other flavors. 3. I appreciated that the kids chicken fingers (at least appeared to be) homemade and not from a bag. But they were more than a little overcooked. This is the main reason I went from 5 to 4 stars. 4. The staff was VERY helpful and accommodating, even with our little toddler. They came by frequently to check on us and did everything they could to make it a pleasant experience.

Stopped by Bambino for a quick lunch date when I was hangryy and it did not disappoint. We shared a cheese pizza and it was the perfect amount of slices for two hungry people. The service was great as well! Would visit again.

The flavor is good. I enjoyed the white creamy part over the cheese of the pepperoni pizza. Garlic bread was good and our server was delightful. Location is good and patio options (shaded) available. Parking- if busy- can be tight but street parking available. We celebrated a coworker's birthday on a Friday and didn't realize they charge a $3 per person fee for bringing dessert from the outside. That was a little inconvenient since we had everything but the candle and a knife. Understand that it is a business decision and overall the service was good. Nice little bar area right in the middle to the space with good lighting. Yummy ranch (might be homemade) and cheese sticks were delish.

The interior is so cute and every aspect of the restaurant matches the overall theme. Large patio for outdoor seating as well.Overall the food was a little underwhelming. The mozzarella sticks were good but the breading was a little thick and they could have been hotter. There was still a great cheese pull. Their special ranch is delicious! Peppery and just different enough to have an exciting taste without interrupting the flavor. The garlic cheesy bread was interesting! It's made with the same pizza crust. I would have preferred a bit more garlic flavor and brushing the garlic onto the crust. The caesar salad was good, plenty of fresh cheese, dressing, and croutons. I think the dressing could have a bit more flavor (lemon?). The drinks were fun! Only $5 for the slushes. I would recommend coming here for a tasty refreshing drink in a cute space. I personally wouldn't return for the food itself. The staff was kind! There are water stations but waiters also refill your water. You order at a counter when you walk in but are able to order additional items later and close out your tab at the table. It felt like the waiters forgot about us when we were ready to leave. I stood up and grabbed a pizza box for myself and flagged down someone to get us a to-go container after waiting a bit.

I can't justify the prices here. $25 for a medium sized pizza at best. Pinthouse pizza is better quality, bigger sizes and better prices. I see the owner has replied to people about this having to do with benefits for employees and salaries so I suppose I understand but it still feels like a rip off. The service at the bar was good, the pizza and olives were decent. It was not worth the cost though. I will not be back.
