    Greasy rubbery pepperoni pizza!!

    Horrible. Greasy and doesn't not taste like best Bambino's location in National City and Chula Vista. Avoid at all costs unless you want heart burn and horrible customer service!!

    Buffalo Chicken Pizza

    I was craving a Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Even though I initially didn't see it on their online menu, this place made it and I was not disappointed. The flavors and texture were checking all the boxes for me! If you like pizza that isn't too doughy, on the thin side so there's a little bit of crisp but also still chewy, has perfect balance of cheese, garlic, and buffalo sauce then you should definitely check it out. Paid $18 something for a large so price wasn't too bad either compared to other places. Will definitely be back!

    A must try if your craving some delicious pizza. Robert definitely knows how to put a pie together. Friendly service. Spoke with me while I waited for order. Recommended a great try with the chicken wings. Mixing their buffalo sauce with BBQ sauce, and tossing them in that instead of just buffalo sauce. Ranch is homemade. Once I got to the pizza, the garlic crust added great flavor, and the cheese was cooked perfect. You got a nice chew, with crispy crust. The atmosphere is a good ol' fashion pizzaria. I'm giving it 5 stars. Appreciate the experience Robert.

    Great establishment! Very clean! Friendly staff! And best of all PIZZA AND SANDWICHES!!! highly recommend trying this place out of you haven't already! LONG LIVE BAMBINO'S PIZZA!

    Meat lovers pizza

    I'm old. I've had a LOT of cheesy bread in my life. The jalapeño pepperoni cheese bread is the BEST I've ever eaten! I will come out here just for this alone, however, I would be remiss if I don't mention how wonderful the meat lovers pizza is, too!! You will not be disappointed.

    Not even close to the best pizza I've ever had. Maybe just an off day. Pizza crust undercooked, sauce tasted like straight out of a can.

It was that good! Be careful or you'll fall into gluttony like we did! My husband did the same. He's a heavyweight athlete so for him it's ok! :) Having amazing food is one thing but when you have superior service too-chefs kiss!! Brenden was our server let me tell you this kid knows the menu like the back of his hand. He makes amazing suggestions and so attentive as are his counterparts. He was helping a big party but it felt like he was just taking care of us. His counterparts were amazing as well and not to take away from them but Kira was top notch. She stepped in when Brenden was with his large party-honestly she didn't have to but it sure made us feel like VIPS. One million percent recommend this cute Italian Gem that makes you forget you're in the middle of a busy intersection of El Cajon!

So, this was our first time paddlin' in, and the place was packed with people--always a good sign, right? But, bro, the food? It didn't quite catch the wave for me. I went for the lasagna, and man, the portion was smaller than I hoped for. My wife went with the chicken Parmesan, but the chicken was kinda chewy, like it got tossed around in the surf a bit too long. And the bread? A little dry, like it needed a splash of ocean water to bring it back to life. First impression? Just average, my friends. I was really hoping for an epic Italian feast, but it felt more like a small ripple than a big wave. I'll give it a three for the vibe and the crowd, but the chow just didn't hang ten for us. Catch you on the next wave! Captain 619

Opening the door we were greeted with the old school charm of a restaurant that has been around for over 50 years. Our server was delightful and very fast. In fact the entire staff had a warm energetic family feel. And, happily we beat the rush giving us the ability to hear each other and take our time enjoying the meal. Dad and I started with the chicken tortellini soup which was a little too salty for us. Tortellini was slightly overcooked making it flowery and missing meat or cheese. Mom's house salad was ok. She did comment on being disappointed in the oil served with it. Our appetizer was shrimp scampi. This was good, full of flavor. Shrimp was slightly overcooked giving it a semi rubbery edge. On to the entrees. They were huge! I had lasagna. I think when you see it delivered in a sea of sauce you need to be a bit wary. The sauce was spicy, as it should be. Noodles were thick and prominent . Sadly that left little to no room for my favorite part - cheese and meat which were limited. Dad gave the manicotti a try which was ok. Mom had eggplant parmesan, one of her favs. Her sauce was a little bit tart. Eggplant was a nice moist and tender slice with just the right amount of cheese. She loved how the strands of spaghetti wrapped around her fork so she could dip it into the sauce without a spoon. Yup, she really liked the Pasta. Overall she felt it was a nice Italian meal. Very popular spot as it filled up before 6pm and a party of 30 was expected! You can see it's a neighborhood

I invited a large group of 22-24 people for breakfast. I went early around 10:30 AM to arrange the tables and seating, but the attitude of the owner himself, Haitham Botani, was incredibly rude, arrogant, and unprofessional. You would expect the owner to welcome a big group spending a lot of money, but he did the exact opposite. The owner, Haitham Botani, literally forced us into a ridiculous pricing trap, claiming that each table must spend a strict minimum of $150. He made us pay on the basis of 4 tables (even though we ended up being 22 people), forcing us to order a massive, unnecessary amount of food that we couldn't possibly eat, just to reach his greedy forced minimum limit. The bill ended up being over $690 for a simple breakfast! When we tried to speak with them respectfully, Haitham Botani responded with zero respect, basically telling us "if you don't like it, you can leave." The only reason I stayed and put up with this disrespect was because I felt embarrassed in front of my guests who were already on their way. Terrible management, greedy policies, and zero respect for customers from the owner himself. Save your money and go somewhere else where you are treated with dignity.
