    Chef's Special Salad
    Glenn L.

    Popped in for pizza and salad. The Chef's Salad is a solid choice and the Bambino's Special was a consistent selection. The pizza here is great - I talked myself out of trying a new place and stuck with a tried and true choice. Hard to go wrong here. This place appeals to regulars and newbies as well.

    Our first time at Bambinos and we were very impressed. Service was diligent, the wings were delightful and desert was yummy. The inside is a bar, with booths and are pretty comfy. We will be back for the buffet during the week.

    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 The place looked a bit outdated, the decor and setting quite plain, and a sort of lackluster vibe even with an exciting football game showing on the screens.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!

    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!

    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!!

    Review #1,101 Posted on 8.18.26…read more The rare double visit occurred for my first time visiting this Yard House. We came here for lunch for our work summer party on Thursday August 6th, then came back a 2nd time a few hours later for happy hour after our work event ended. The food was good. They did an excellent job getting us all set up with a lunch for about 40 people, and had the food and seating chart all ready to roll. Now the seats were insanely cramped for the lunch. It was at 12 pm on the dot I believe, and they had the food delivered to the table right on cue. But we were all rubbing elbows at the table, you could hardly move, maybe adding a table or 2 solves that. The happy hour experience was awesome, server was on top of everything, and we had some good grub and drinks. Would 100% return.

    The service and ambiance were great, and they got us seated quickly even though they were extremely…read morebusy. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were a huge disappointment!! We drove an hour because of all the happy-hour deals and TikTok hype, but honestly, don't believe the hype! The lemonades tasted like water, the raspberry lemonade was barely pink, the server had to replace them and then realized,"it might be out of juice" soda only options. Everyones food arrived and I waited till it was time to go and had to ask my server where my nachos was for them to come out. I had to ask a server multiple times, and when they finally arrived, the chicken was dry, bland, and completely flavorless. I barely even ate it. The pepperoni pizza and chicken strips were good, and my husband's buffalo chicken bites were probably the best thing we ordered. The carnivore pizza, though, was just a pile of meat with no flavor. The birthday dessert they brought for my daughter was cute and she loved it, so that was a nice touch. The bill was under $70 for five people, so the price was good. I'd say the $7-$9 happy-hour items are probably worth it, but you get what you pay!!! An to believe they charge regular prices for these items not on happy hour is insane!! I wouldn't recommend it. Great staff, nice atmosphere, good prices -- but the food was dry, bland, and definitely not worth driving an hour for. Honestly, I'd rather eat microwaved food at Applebee's .

Blue neon arches, a huge underwater mural, plush chairs and low tables along the back wall. Worth the detour. Chris was working the bar on his second day and greeted us like a regular. I skipped my usual Manhattan and went with the Smoke Break, bourbon with bitters, smoke and black cherry. He nailed it. That is the one I would order again. Kudos to Chris for making the smoke linger and make the drink taste fantastic. I had this one in Oregon and it was cool but Chris did a better job with his method that really did serious justice to the name. My wife wanted the Cucumber Cooler, but they were out of cucumber. She pivoted to Sauvignon Blanc, and they were out of that too. The wine list runs four whites and four reds, so there is not much room to maneuver if the cocktails are not your thing. Chris read the situation, offered up a Paper Airplane since she wanted something refreshing, and put it on the house. Classic good bartending. It was louder than expected for how few people were in the room. On a Saturday with a DJ, music and dancing, I would guess the volume gets close to a rave. Go Tuesday or Wednesday if you want to hear the person across from you, and you will probably catch them fully stocked. My guess is weekends clean them out. Cocktails run 16 to 18 dollars. There is also a 300 dollar tequila and cognac number called La Maria served in a glass rimmed with gold dust, if you have something to celebrate. Happy hour is Tuesday through Friday, 3 to 5. They are on the ground floor of the Waymark apartments at 121 Pringle Ave with a small patio out front and heaters. Great spot to hang out and talk with friends, and a good pre dinner or post dinner stop rather than a destination for the whole night. When those doors shut you are transported somewhere neat. I would go again.

During the security screening, our bags were searched and we were patted down, which we understand may be standard procedure. However, the security guard went far beyond what we considered appropriate by squeezing our breasts during the pat-down. We immediately objected and made it clear that we were uncomfortable and felt violated. The guard identified himself as "Natty Martinez" (although we are not sure whether that was his real name). After the incident, we watched other patrons entering the bar and did not observe anyone else being subjected to the same level of physical contact. That left us feeling as though we had been singled out and treated differently. No one should expect to be touched in such an invasive manner simply for entering a bar. Security screenings can be conducted professionally and respectfully. This experience was humiliating, unnecessary, and completely ruined our evening. I hope management takes this complaint seriously, reviews any available security footage, and ensures that all security staff are properly trained on appropriate search procedures and respectful treatment of customers.
