    I like that there are so many options to choose from on the menu, like pasta, ravioli, and various entrees. But, of course, we came here for pizza! Ordered online, and there was no easy way to order a "half and half" pie with one half a specialty and the other half customized toppings (that's an unfortunate inconvenience). Luckily they called me to clarify the order after it was placed, and though I overpaid, it all worked out in the end. We got a small (12-inch) pizza, half bambino's favorite, the other half with white garlic sauce, pepperoni, mushroom, jalapeno. Also ordered a side of garlic butter for $1.50 (a bite-sized scoop of whipped butter that was quite good) and a small side of ranch dressing for $1.50 as well (I liked that it was not hidden valley brand), both a tad pricey and not great value for what you get. Nonetheless, everything was absolutely delish! The pizza brimming with sauce, melted cheese, and savory toppings, the italian meats slightly crisp on the surface. The small size was more than enough for two hungry adults. We ordered for takeout, but there was a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating available at the restaurant, with a few medium sized TV's playing the niners game when we came by to pick up our order. The place looked a bit outdated, the decor and setting quite plain, and a sort of lackluster vibe even with an exciting football game showing on the screens. It's good we took our order to go. Service was sufficient, and the product did not disappoint. The pie we got, made of quality ingredients, fully satisfied our pizza cravings on this lovely Sunday evening. Thanks, Bambino's!

    This place is the kind of family run pizza place that you just don't see anymore. Great service from some young kids. Classic pizza parlor. The pizza was great. California style. Not that pretentious east coast stuff. Ambiance is all pizza joint

    I heard that this places offers bottomless mimosas on the weekends so off I went with a girlfriend of mine. The playoffs were on and i wanted to catch them. This place is split in 2 one side is more like a bar with about 3 TVs and the other side is a restaurant. Upon walking it does look a little older inside but it's not awful, it's clean and that's what matters to me. I walked up to what I thought was a host desk but I was wrong lol nobody greeted me initially so i just sat at the bar. They had 2 bartenders Alex was one who was very nice and the drinks were great! We went and sat in the bar side, tv sound was very low so i asked if they could turn it up which they did. Tv sound was still low even when on 100. We ordered food ( chicken picatta, calamari,caprese salad, bambino's pizza) the food was the best part! The picatta was perfectly cooked and seasoned, calamari was like a steak style the sauces that they give are phenomenal!!! The pizza was great, i loved the breading. Again, Alex kept the bottomless mimosas coming and with a smile. The food and drinks would definitely have me Coming back! I just wish that they fix those TVs, i love watching football and would totally consider this place if i could hear the TVs lol This place is definitely a must try!

    my beautiful Pasta with Alfredo Sauce

    The only way i can describe my food i ate here today is heavenly. I got pasta ( specifically angel hair alfredo with shrimp ) that shit was SO good i almost started crying it was so creamy and wasn't overly creamy though . I also got the pizza and its SOOOOOOO good i cannot emphasize enough how divine the pizza was . The service was well ,service ! but it wasn't bad, we got read perfectly! They noticed when we wanted a refill. The atmosphere was pretty nice aswell as the price!!

    ABSOLUTE PERFECTION -- A TRUE HIDDEN GEM! I honestly don't even know where to begin. I hadn't been to Bambino's in a while and WOW -- what a mistake that was, because this place is PURE MAGIC. Met up with some friends and we ended up having the time of our lives. The energy is unmatched. The live music was incredible and set the perfect vibe, the crowd was so fun and lively, and the whole place just buzzed with joy. The food was absolutely delicious -- every bite reminded me why Bambino's is so special. On top of that, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely wonderful, making us feel so welcomed from start to finish. And the owners? Truly amazing people who clearly pour their heart and soul into this place -- it shows in every detail. Bambino's is the definition of a hidden gem. If you're looking for great food, amazing music, an unforgettable atmosphere, and the kind of night you'll be talking about for weeks -- this is it. Highly, highly recommend. Can't wait to go back!

I informed her that we were 1st timers and she said to take our time. When she returned, she asked if we had any questions, my wife asked about the pizzas and she gave a rundown of the most popular pizzas and a very detained description of each. We decided on the Calamari appetizer, the Nectarine Salad and Fungo Pizza to split. Calamari and Shrimp 5/5, lightly batter, extremely tasty Nectarine Salad 5/5, she had it split for us, Great flavor, dressing was perfect and the goat cheese was nice and creamy. Fungo Pizza 4/5, it was sliced in 1/4 so they were huge. We split them in two. The center was a little soft and chewy, outside crust was slightly charred and perfect. It had a minimal kick from the Italian Chilies. We drizzled the marinara from the calamari on top which cut down the heat. We had plenty of pizza to bring home. Lastly we order the Pistachio Cake on Special and the Limoncello cake to go to. Both were delicious and we couldn't decide on a favorite. It was a perfect Lunch/Dinner Date with my wife

I had made dinner reservations ahead of time. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed and seated right away. The inside had a nice bar and tablecloth covered tables giving off a classy yet cozy atmosphere. We were seated by the window in a cozy and more private space. It was a lovely spot. Our server brought us cold water and menus to look at. While we were looking at the menu, we were brought warm bread and butter. My husband decided to order the Moroccan Beef Tagine and I ordered the pescatore with fettuccine. I don't care too much for salmon and asked if they could please omit it. They offered to give me more shrimp and mussels, which was very nice. I really appreciated that. I'm so glad we made reservations, because the restaurant filled up fast. I definitely recommend reservations when coming here. It's a popular place for the locals. Our food arrived quickly. I was offered freshly grated Parmesan cheese for my pasta. My husband loved his Moroccan beef. I tried it and it was delicious and had so much flavor. My pasta wasn't the best, but just okay. The sauce was very bland, and I had to add a lot of salt to make it taste more flavorful. The pasta was overcooked and not al dente. The worst part was the shrimp. The shrimp were overly cooked and hard to chew. The mussels and clams were very good, though. I would have mentioned this to our waiter but I didn't want to be late to our concert. We didn't heave a lot of time to waste so I ate about half of my dish and made sure to eat all the mussels and clams. If we had more time, I would have asked if I could try something else and I'm sure they would have accommodated me. The staff were very friendly and kind. I would definitely come back and try one of their Moroccan dishes. When I read the review for this restaurant, prior to coming, many people commented on how good the Moroccan dishes were. I can see why, because my husband Moroccan beef Tagine was so flavorful. If we are ever in the area again, we will give Fiore another try.

Such a simple and delicious addition to their menu, it gets my money every time.

It is a family restaurant so we frequently sit next to crying/screaming children. Not their fault, but a note for those looking for a date night spot. The food is great. We get the fried spaghetti squares as an appetizer every time we visit and they are always a hit, especially to those that are new and visiting. As I mentioned before, the vegan ceasar is also a favorite. For mains I like to build my own circle pizza, and others in my group like the square pies. One of my favorite things about Melos is that I can usually request vodka sauce on my dish, whether it's pizza or lasagna. This makes my experience 10x better than other places. They also have a good ranch, which is key for a good restaurant, especially one with pizza. I do wish their prices were a bit lower, but overall it is a good place to splurge a bit. We will continue to return.

Interior is interesting, it's like you're dining at someone's home? Street parking or there are lots nearby with the first hours or so free. Service was good  The Valentines prix consisted of an app, entree, and dessert, some of which are not on their regular menu!!  -bread and marinara (4/5): bread was great, thick slices and nice crust. Marinara was standard -potato-leek puree (4/5): came in a cute little cup to drink out of, good flavor -gamberoni (5/5): prawns were a good size and perfectly grilled. The sauce was a good addition -polette (4/5): meatballs were juicy and the pesto was flavorful and creamy. Interesting thing to have as an appetizer though -fettuccini carne (5/5): I always have an internal struggle about getting a red sauce or a cream sauce, so this was the perfect option as a creamy red sauce pasta. Serving size was good, and there was also plenty of meat and mushrooms, which I loved! Flavor was great! -lamp chop (4/5): good grilled flavor, but one was slightly too raw for our liking so we had to send it back to the kitchen to cook it some more. Our waitress was very understanding though! The mashed potatoes and veggies were also good. -tiramisu (3.5/5): good flavor, but there was wayyy more cream than ladyfinger, so the textural balance was off. And I love cream! -peanut butter chocolate brownie (4/5): really good but also pretty sweet. Loved how thick the whipped cream was, but didn't taste as much peanut butter as I would've liked Overall, I had a great experience for their valentines day prix menu. Food was great and I would definitely go back to try their pasta!

When I…read morelooked at the menu for online ordering, I got super confused because they had the Dagwood listed under 3 different sections. 2 of them had a starting price of around $17, while one had a starting price of around $13. I figured I'd go with the $13 one, why not? Then I quickly realized that the ordering system was a whole mess. It gave me the option to customize my sandwich, but some of the required fields didn't make any sense at all. For example, I don't like olives, but it required me to select olives. Then there were 2 separate sections for extra meat and extra ingredients, and those were required too, and both came with additional charges!!! I thought requiring customers to add extra ingredients and charging them extra because of that was totally ridiculous. If I don't want extra meat or extra ingredients, I should be able to leave those options blank and still place my order. But I couldn't proceed to place my order if I didn't select those. I ended up trying to go with the $17 option instead with minimal customization options. I eventually just placed the order, went to the store, and picked it up. As for the sandwich itself, it was pretty standard in size and the quality was decent, but there really wasn't much going on inside. It was basically just bread, meat, and cheese. There weren't even any vegetables! No lettuce whatsoever. I thought that was really weird for a sandwich to be very bare like this, especially given that the final total cost was $19 for a single sandwich from a small deli. I expected a lot more from a sandwich at that price! Again, the sandwich wasn't bad, but I didn't think it was worth $19.
