If you're looking for delicious Italian food that's worth the drive, this place is definitely worth visiting in La Puente! We ordered the Chicken Alfredo, Chipotle Chicken Pasta, pizza, and salad, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the Chicken Alfredo was the standout. The sauce was incredibly rich, creamy, and full of flavor--honestly, I enjoyed it even more than Olive Garden's Alfredo! The atmosphere was another pleasant surprise. While the outside of the restaurant may not immediately catch your attention, don't let that fool you. The inside is beautifully decorated, cozy, and full of charm. It's a smaller restaurant, which made it feel welcoming and comfortable. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. We also loved watching the soccer game on the big screen while enjoying our meal. My only suggestion would be to give a little more attention to the restrooms. They could be cleaned more frequently, and making sure hand soap is always stocked would really enhance the overall experience. Overall, the amazing food, welcoming service, cozy atmosphere, and great portions make this restaurant an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be making the trip back to La Puente again! read more

Happened to be in the area visiting a friend and We yelped for a lunch place and this Italian restaurant came under our radar, we decided to give a try. I am glad we did, the pasta dishes were amazing! Better than Olive Garden! The place was tucked in between small businesses at a shopping plaza, we missed it at first and had to make a U-turn at the Jack in the Box. The inside is of elongated setting with comfortable dinning chairs. We came on a Saturday for lunch and it was not busy at all. We ordered the following dishes: The seafood sautéed Fettuccini pasta in white cream sauce and the shrimp scampi Mediterranean. Both were with great flavors and we like the shrimp scampi more than the seafood fettuccini. Another pleasant surprise was the freshly baked butter bread roll, warm, buttery, soft, and free! Highly recommended! And will definitely return. read more

I selected the lasagna this time and it was delicious. It did take some time so be patient while ordering. My only thought was the pasta had some spots that were cooked to the point they were hard to chew and hard to cut, rubbery but the flavor profile was there. Service this time in the evening was not the best. There were too many men in here, worried about the soccer game and not paying much attention to the customer. I ran out of water and my bread was not served with my pasta. I had to ask for it. My first visit here was amazing, this one not as good, which is why I took off a star. Do better fellas! read more

What a wonderful place we found. A small restaurant in a strip mall of La Puente. It was delicious. The portions are generous and it is easy to share. They have TV's so if there is a game happening, ask them to put it on. The chopped salad was wonderful and I really enjoyed it. I could have eaten the whole thing but we shared it among 3 people very easily. The pasta was excellent but our favorite was the fettucine with chicken. Everyone loved it. read more

Wow the pastas are all tasty and delicious!!! My favorite is the jambalaya!!! So good and flavorful. The other pastas were good too and I highly recommend coming here for pizza or pastas. It is a must and I will be coming here more often for sure. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was fine. Outside area can use some cleaning because the trash outside was everywhere sadly it messes up the outside look plus the sign is hard to see from street. Still, this place is worth coming to. Plenty of parking and the TVs are good to catch a Dodger game. read more

This place is not a true authentic Italian restaurant we went for our 40 wedding anniversary for the first time and was very disappointed, The mozzarella sticks are frozen not freshly fried the pizza was terrible they put sausage crumbs instead of authentic chunks and the crust was doughie, the lasagna was ok they use the same sauce on everything I don't see us going back. read more

Wait time was good and was greeted quick. Place was clean and had good vibes. Suggest to have all TV's on and working. If not take them down. Some on some off. Menu seemed really good with great selections. Mozzarella sticks were good with the sauce having good flavor. Cajun pasta was cooked well but lacked seasoning and flavor. Had to add everything on the table to get flavor from the food. Suggest that food doesn't get sent to tables in parts as it makes people wait to eat until everyone gets their food. read more

Food: 1) Chicken Piccata- white sauce on top chicken is bland and no lemon taste which it should because that is what is Piccata is supposed to be. Side vegetables bland as well. I had to put the table Parmesan cheese and salt to make it taste better. 2) Bambino House Pasta- bland !!! Pizza although we did not order did look good but looks and taste are two different things. read more

I had a good experience at Bambino Felice (La Puente). I ordered the Seafood Sautéed Pasta ($20.25 - Full Size). It's sautéed salmon, scallops, shrimps, and mushrooms with basil in a white wine cream sauce over fettuccini noodles. It's satisfying and BIG! (Important: Bring Cash. There's a 4% additional fee for Card.) I arrived at Bambino Felice (La Puente) on Wednesday (around 6:32PM). Parking is very easy. The lot is very big! However, Bambino Felice (La Puente) had initially worried me. The business's exterior looks worn-down and ugly. And many, unfortunate homeless people wandered nearby. Fortunately, my first impression was wrong. Bambino Felice (La Puente) is literally a hidden gem. Staff is professional and efficient. Staff welcomed me as I walked in. Staff worked hard. My food took 14 minutes and 27 seconds. Good time. As mentioned, I appreciated the Seafood Sautéed Pasta ($20.25 - Full Size). The white sauce is hot & creamy (not watered down); the seafood & ingredients are surprisingly fresh and well-prepared (e.g. juicy shrimps, plump scallops, moist salmon, savory mushrooms); and the noodles are soft but bouncy. There's passion and talent in that kitchen. I left with plenty of leftovers. TASTY! Regarding ambiance, the interior is GORGEOUS! Customers are transported to lush greenery, sparkling light fixtures, and lovely art. I admired the canopy of leaves and shiny tables. There's also multiple flat screen TVs playing the soccer game. Its interior also felt well-ventilated and spacious. I counted about 14 tables. Despite the ugly outside, the interior is charming & perfect for a special occasion or gathering. This spot is a perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. Overall, I had a good experience at Bambino Felice (La Puente). I'm very thankful that the positive praise is genuine. And I left with a bright smile, an appreciative heart, and a full stomach. If you enjoy pasta & want to pleasantly surprise your guests, I happily recommend Bambino Felice (La Puente). 4.9 out of 5 read more

Bambino Felice - Great excellent service good prices highly recommended five stars - Italian Near Me - La Puente, California

Woah this place is not what they make it seem to be with all the social media hype. Im positive that they paid for all the food reviews. I had the cajun pasta jambalaya, and it was flavorless I had to add a lot of salt. It was very watery. The shrimp are OK. I eat those. I cannot lie about that but my wife's lasagna lacked flavor also. honestly, everything just had no flavor. I took 90% of my portion home to see if I can fix it with some seasoning and maybe make it edible. I usually don't give bad reviews like this and I like to support local businesses but I think something is really going on with this place. They should spend more money on making their food better instead of the advertisement I will not be going back and I encourage people not to waste their money and time there you guys have a blessed day.. read more

Who knew their was going to be good pasta in La Puente. This hidden gem is tucked away in the shopping center by Autozone. If you didn't know it was there you would missed it. The waiter was friendly and attentive. I had the blackened chicken chipotle pasta and added shrimp. It had a little kick but the pasta was perfectly seasoned and creamy. It was served with buttery, garlicky yeast rolls too accompany the pasta. Definitely will be back to try the calzone or pizza. read more

Bambino Felice is a delightful hidden gem that might not immediately come to mind when you think of Italian cuisine. As I approached the restaurant, the trendy sports bar vibe caught me by surprise, blending intimacy with a lively atmosphere. I tried the pollo alla parmigiana and requested a crema rosa sauce instead of the traditional red sauce. They happily obliged, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was lightly breaded, and incredibly moist. The only thing that could have elevated the dish further was a sprinkle of fresh Parmesan cheese. Additionally, the chipotle blackened chicken fettuccine was outstanding--definitely a must-try! Our waiter was attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. One downside was that they had run out of crème brûlée, which was disappointing. But overall, don't let the complex nature of the menu deter you--this restaurant is well worth a visit!

I had to come back to try something else and let me tell you the flavors do not disappoint. First try it before you knock it alot of (hater) reviewers expect white dining table service and this isn't the place nor the time. This is more refreshing environment you can sit down where you please. That being said the service is superb and ambiance is open and accessible. Variety of wines, beers, and soft drinks as well as high quality apple juice (my favorite brand) we both tried the Italian chopped chicken salad and the mushroom artichoke pizzetta. Delicious. We will be back once again to try something new. read more

NOT A FAN. THE SERVICE AND FOOD WAS VERY OFF. Food: 0/5 First, let me say I think these reviews have to be paid for or something. I try to be tasteful when I say something was/is not the best, but the food here was severely below that. I ordered an eggplant parm + side of meatballs, my dad ordered a lasagna . . I am convinced all the food was from a frozen Marie calendars box in the clearance section. My eggplant was hard/ not cooked. For the first time in my life I called over the manger and asked about the food. He was very apologetic and admitted that it is not house made, and that he was sorry our server lied. He offered a partial refund. Service: 0/5 It was a weird club vibe for sure lol people were everywhere, the owners (or managers) had friends at the bar yelling and going insane. It was just a very uncomfortable and honestly unprofessional. They were drunk, cursing, saying inappropriate things all while families had their small children trying to enjoy a plate of spaghetti. All around: 0/5 I will never come here ever again. The pictures on instagram are far fetched, and totally not worthy of the price. Costco lasagna has a far better taste. read more

Was excited to try this place after seeing videos online but was fairly disappointed. Not sure if they were just busy and forgot to season our pasta dishes but they were very bland. The dishes had the right creaminess but no taste. This is coming from someone who does not heavily season/salt my food. Would've rated 2/5 but gave the extra star because the portions were generous. read more

My fiancé and I have been sending each other videos about how good this place looked. After reading many reviews and different opinions we decided to try it ourselves; after all it is only a 7 min drive from us. This new trendy sports bar/pasta restaurant is located in a busy shopping center with plenty of parking. Upon arriving we walked to the front and got seated immediately. One of my favorite things about this place that was the same from start to finish was the service! The service was amazing and we felt well taken care of the whole time. It's a small space but with the food they serve I'm sure they'll expand soon. We wanted to try a little bit of everything from here so my fiance and I ordered different pastas, a meat lover's pizza, and buffalo wings. The pasta(s) were absolutely delicious! The Cajun jambalaya pasta was so creamy and savory, and it came with lots of meats. I loved the wings, a little crispy on the outside and nice and juicy on the outside. The pizza was yummy, the crust was great although due to its thin dough towards the end the pizza would fall apart when grabbing it (still a good pizza). I will definitely return to try something new! read more

Boom, boom, boom (gotta get that) Bambino Felice (gotta get that) Boom, boom, boom (gotta get that)... 5/5 Service Ordered over the phone, you can also order online but had a few questions. Good amount of seating inside. 4.5/5 Food Lasagna Calzone sign me up. Im like Garfield with Lasagna, all day! So had to give this a try. It was really good, turned into everyone else's food but at least I got nibble. Spaghetti and meatballs try Boloneges adding meatballs. This wasn't that memorable, probably pass on it in the future. Cajon Jumbalaya was tasty. Not spicy actually the Boloneges was Spicer than this. But it had a really delicious flavor. 5/5 Parking Located in a shopping center between Autozone and Planet Fitness. Lot of parking but its can get crowded during workout peak times. Look forward to trying more to make my tummy felice. God bless read more

Super cute place! I saw this restaurant on IG and decided to give it a try. Drove to La Puente from the IE, long drive but worth the drive. Wasn't too busy, we got there around 8pm. Small location but plenty of seating, plenty of parking as restaurant is in a shopping center. Good customer service, and food is 10/10. I ordered their seafood sautéed pasta and it was oh so delicious! Super flavorful, perfect! My husband ordered the pepperoni calzone and he loved it's their Mariana sauce is homemade and oh so delicious! A must try when in the area! read more

Was craving pasta and saw a reel on this place and had to come by and try it - IMMEDIATE bad vibes upon entering. I went to the counter to pick up my order and not a single worker acknowledged me; I stood there in silence for a WHILE as they all walked passed and side eyed me. No "just a moment" or "we'll be right there with you," let alone a "welcome." If I hadn't already paid online, I would've just left for how long they kept me standing there. Even when I got the food, I was still disappointed. The House Pasta was creamy but ultimately bland; the only taste was the lemon from the chicken. The tiramisu was more like a dry spongecake covered in cream and chocolate powder. The singular bread was good, though. The portion size of the pasta was huge though, lasted me 2.5 meals. Bottom line: $32 for standoffish service and okay food. I'll just go somewhere else next time. read more

The service was wonderful! The decor was inviting and the menu was expansive! So much to choose from and portions were large! We had a party of six and we all ordered something different and enjoyed every bite! We ordered the coconut shrimp and the bruschetta for appetizers, the tiramisu and the crème brûlée for dessert and they were delicious! read more

I'm not a big Italian fan. When my kids ask for Italian, this is the place of my choice. Better than any chains in the area.

We saw a reel on Instagram and knew we had to check out Bambino Felice! It did not disappoint!!! We traveled all from Arizona, and it was definitely worth it. Between all of us we ordered the cheese ravioli, meat lovers calzone, and chicken Alfredo. The homemade bread is undeniably delicious! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Having a toddler and a child with us, and they were accommodating! No issues at all even with our little ones being a bit loud and hyper (lol), which we really appreciated, and that's always a plus for parents lol Unfortunately they weresold out of the dessert we had our eye on, BUT! that just proves how amazing this place is. We'll just take it as our excuse to make that eight hour drive again! read more

I've really been wanting to try this place after hearing several people say it was really good. I liked that they offer both full and half portions, the full size is definitely shareable if you order an appetizer. Unfortunately, based on what we ordered, the food lacked flavor. I had the Shrimp Scampi Mediterranean, which was very bland. I had to add salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes just to give it some taste. My daughter ordered the Bolognese, and that was also very bland. My wife ordered the Pescatore Pasta, which had a bit more flavor but still wasn't anything memorable. The most flavorful dish at our table was my son's Lasagna Style Calzone, the dough was delicious, and the ricotta really made it stand out. We also ordered rolls, which were good. Service felt a bit off, it seemed like they were short-staffed. Our waitress took a long time to check-in, and when we asked for refills, it felt like we were bothering them. I did notice they were handling a large catering order, which may explain the service and possibly why the food felt rushed or maybe we just ordered the wrong items. Parking is easy since it's located in a large shopping center. The restaurant itself is small, clean, and cute. Overall, I wanted to love it, but the lack of flavor and service issues made it a disappointing visit for us. read more

Let's start by saying that it is a big portion probably 2 can eat from it, but the problem here is that it has no flavor it basically taste like unseasoned tomato water beef is unseasoned and didn't ever taste the sausage in it either. I also purchased a Greek salad which also bas very disappointing. Maybe it was due to Valentines day, I will give them another chance. read more

This restaurant is tucked away in the corner of a shopping plaza. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our dinner. The Chipotle Blackened Chicken Fettuccine was creamy, pasta was cooked al dente and the chicken was flavorful (we added some Parmesan, salt and pepper to our liking). The Chipotle Cajun Chicken Pizza had good flavor as well, the chipotle gave it a nice kick, and the dough was a bit sweet. The Caesar Salad was okay, but likely would not order again. It was a positive experience overall, will likely be back! read more

I was really excited to try this restaurant, but unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. We drove 50 minutes to get there and, sadly, won't be returning. The Alfredo was bland and lacked flavor, and the Chipotle Pasta needed a much stronger chipotle taste. The Mediterranean Shrimp Scampi was just okay. The one thing that absolutely matched the positive reviews was the customer service--it was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and provided a great dining experience. read more

Fine Italian food with a Latin twist. Small cozy restaurant tucked away in a shopping center. Nicely decorated interior with a positive atmosphere. Super friendly service is always welcomed. Started off with their bambino bacon wrapped shrimp and they were super delicious. The sauce with cappers is a perfect match. A must try. We shared the bambino house pasta with chicken. Tequila lime sauce makes the dish superb. Full of flavors and very tasty. The four cheese ravioli was also a hit. Fresh ravioli with high quality cheese.Their complimentary freshly baked bread was a home run. Perfect for dipping into your pasta sauce. To end the night I had to try a michelada. Well balance of the mix and beer.This place is worth the hype. I honestly can't wait to go back. read more
