We had such a great experience this past weekend! Great indoor dining, the atmosphere is so intimate but lots of chatter happening around you. Immediately you feel welcome by the staff. The food was delicious from start to finish, unfortunately we were too full to try the tiramisu so make sure to leave room!! Definitely will be coming back for another round of wine and pasta. Highly recommend!

It was rainy Sunday that we decided to get some Sunday brunch at ZazIe. However upon arriving there was a line with an expected wait time for about 1 hour. We noticed an Italian restaurant next door called Bambino which was open for brunch. Upon entering the restaurant had a few open tables and it was also obvious that they were shorthanded. I was guessing some of the patrons were from the Zazie overflow.After a wait of about 20 minutes we were finally seated. After a few minutes the owner was able to take our orders. From the brunch menu we ordered the Omelet Speciale, a vegetable scramble, the Red Velvet Waffle special, a Lobster Ravioli and the Cioppino. Even though the restaurant was slowly emptying, it took about 30 minutes for all our items to arrive. Bottom line the brunch dishes were alright. However the Italian dishes was quite good. Definitely worth a visit for the Italian food.The ambiance is very clean and simple. There was nothing fancy but definitely the food spoke for itself.

Wonderful place. I went to celebrate my birthday with a few friends and we ended up spending almost three hours eating, drinking, and chatting. Service was extremely warm with multiple wait staff checking in on us and making us smile. We order appetizers (calamari, mussels, and garlic bread) with a salad to share. It was all delicious! I ordered their buckwheat mushroom pasta and that was very tasty! They are generous with their portions and we all felt stuffed and satisfied. It's a fun place and I'd happily go back.

I don't give out five star reviews unless I mean it.In full transparency, we did not initially seek out Bambino's for brunch. We were standing outside waiting to be seated at Zazies next door when we saw a small sign in the window at Bambino's that read "Now serving brunch".Stunned at how empty the restaurant was, I picked up the menu and saw they offered all the brunch staples and even a "breakfast pizza" that was right on brand for an Italian ristorante. If I could sum it up briefly, this was the best unplanned find I've had in a long time. I stuck with a traditional breakfast and let me tell you, the fruit was fresh, the pancakes were fluffy, and the potatoes were seasoned and crisped to perfection. My boyfriend opted for the breakfast pizza and described it as "unrivaled".There are a lot of brunch spots in SF and I almost regret sharing this review because I know their reservations are going to blow up, but they truly deserve it. You can tell the chef appreciates the best ingredients and the host was so sweet and patient with all our questions. The food was so good, I'm going back for dinner next week. Can't wait for my next meal at Bambino's! I'll be back with the dinner recommendations ;)

Went here for a date night and it did not disappoint! It was my first time here, but I had previewed the menu beforehand and, as an Italian food junkie, I had high expectations!! It truly did not disappoint!! When we first arrived, we were immediately greeted and seated. Unfortunately, I do not recall the names of the people that helped us, but every interaction we had was beyond pleasant. Everyone was so attentive, helpful, and willing to give recommendations. We never had to ask for more water or cheese, etc because the service was that great. My date and I shared our meals and since I'm a vegetarian, we went with the cheese ravioli with marinara sauce and a medium pizza! There were plenty of veg options (at LEAST 6 different veg pastas, not to mention tons of salads, pizza, calzones) The ravioli was divine! One of the best raviolis I've had and the sauce was equally delicious. The pizza (veg side) was Margherita and didn't have sauce which was my first time having a pizza like that but it was so good! The crust was rich in flavor so I didn't feel like I was missing anything! Already planning on coming back here asap!!

Great staff and awesome food! The pizza was amazing... I have been at UCSF for the past week or so talking care of my Dad. We stopped in here for dinner and left smiling (for the first time 10 days because of my Dad).You will enjoy!

A random google search led to one of the best Italian meals I've had. The restaurant is extremely beautiful and smells of fresh garlic when you walk in. You can also smell the dough for their pizzas and it draws you in. The service is amazing as everyone is personable and attentive. We ordered the burrata caprese salad, fettuccine with spicy creamy pesto, a calzone, and creme brulee. The burrata caprese salad was amazing and the balsamic reduction on top was perfection! I had the calzone which was very good. My partner enjoyed the fettuccine and I tried a bit which made me wish I'd gotten it too. The creme brulee was delicious. It's a huge serving definitely made to share. We will absolutely be coming back to try the tiramisu as we were told it's even better than the creme brulee. This is a perfect spot for a date night or a casual dinner.

Showed up late on a Saturday with a party of five and a well behaved dog. They sat us and we had the most delicious meal. The calzone pizza is something I will dream about. Their desserts are delicious too! I will be going back!

My wife, brothers and I had a very lovely dinner at Bambino's. Delicious Italian wine, tasty pasta and savory pizza. We had a very attentive , friendly waiter Sergio who was kind enough to answer any and all questions and although he was busy , always managed to check in on us. One of the main highlights was Constantinos. He was the chef who took the time to get to know us and recommend the amazing desserts on the menu. He was so passionate when describing the desserts he prepared but he really lit up when he talked about his personal Tiramisu. He said it was his favorite and best dish to make and strongly recommended it. Of course I couldn't resist and had the tiramisu and OMG he was not kidding, the best Tiramisu I've probably ever had. Soft, lite and rich. We can't wait to return to Bambino's.
