Bambino's Ristrorante

This place has been here for many years and it just keeps aging like a fine wine, just gets better. I love the pizza, which I fondly remember after growing up in the city, there aren’t many places that make this style of yummy pizza any more, so any chance I get back to the city, I try to go to Bambino’s. The staff is friendly, the service is great, and the restaurant is really cozy. And there’s so much more than pizza, they have salads and pasta dishes and more, so give it a try, you will be happy you did.

We visited Bambino’s today for the first time, our party of 5 shared the fried calamari, a large margherita pizza (it was deliciously garlicky), and the spicy creamy pesto… it was all very tasty!! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner as he approached to our table to treat us with complementary gelato and tiramisu… the sorbet was my personal favorite!! Service was great and the food was even better!! We will be coming back!!

Just freaking awesome. Absolutely awesome. I've eaten here several times, the most recent this past weekend of HSB and it never disappoints. The interior is warm and quaint. The scent when you walk in the door is just amazing. I always get a pizza and a pasta dish even though I know I'll have leftovers...hell...because I know I'll have leftovers. The pizza is homemade and is off the charts. My girlfriend needs gluten free and they offer options for everything (pasta and pizza). Equally delicious. The service is always great. Friendly, super helpful and knowledgeable but never cloying or solicitous. Also....for the love of all that is holy, try the homemade olives. The brine is to die for. This last time we were there, we met the owner Costa. What a super and engaging guy. Very sweet. Seriously...the food here is really great. It's not fancy or expensive...just incredibly delicious, consistent, hearty food. Make it happen.

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon with my 3 year old granddaughter. The place was empty except for us. The interior was scrubbed clean and gleaming. We got sat at table and brought water and menus. They took our order, brought our drinks and we were brought fresh bread and olives. We ordered a small all-meat pizza to share. The crust was perfect, crispy like a cracker on the bottom but bread soft above that. It was so delicious that the little one even ate 2 slices! The menu has a great variety but we came for pizza. I would definitely recommend a visit there. Great place to eat. Eventually two other women came and took a corner table. They appeared to be enjoying salad and pasta. Then two other ladies came in and their order was taken quickly. We left with half our pizza in a box. It was still fabulous the next day.

First time visiting from out of town. The staff and food were fantastic. A very cozy, quiet, and rustic neighborhood restaurant. Spaghetti Bolognese with meatballs and Insalata di Pesce. The Pesce was crisp on the outside but very moist and tender in the center. The meatballs were very tender and flavorful. Excellent portions, simple yet elegant experience. We will be back!

Through several moves, Bambinos was my go-to delivery pizza spot. It wasn't the fastest, but it was always the best. A couple years back, I brought some friends for a proper dinner to Bambinos, and the service and quality of food was fantastic. I don't live in Cole Valley, but every time a friend mentions the area, Bambinos is the first place I recommend.
