Why Travelers Love Bambino -
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
My date and I had the Philadelphia sushi and the creamy pasta. The pasta was amazing! I would like to give a shout out to Francisca, the waitress. She served us so well with patience and was also very professional. It’s a nice spot for date nights, solo dates or group dates. A shout out to the dj. The music is always top-notch for the times I’ve been there! We had the loveliest server, Francesca, who gave us the best recommendations for dinner last week. The restaurant was quiet, being a Monday, but the music and the atmosphere were stunning! We had the crostini, the Bambino caprese, the prawn pasta, seafood risotto , the truffle maltagliati pasta and the lamb cutlets. Loved the food! And the tiramisu was amazing too! Thank you for a lovely evening! We went there last night for the all you can eat Sushi & DimSum: The food was made well and it was quite tasty - everyone should try it (Disclaimer: Service can be quite slow during these days). The only thing that was disappointing is the lack of enough serviettes for use. Also, in 2025, it's so strange for a restaurant to not provide wet wipes and enough serviettes to their patrons. As you can see from one of the images uploaded, we had to use the napkins and wet wipes that I had in my bag, otherwise our hands would have to stay messy. This was quite disappointing for a more niche/high-end establishments.

I had the chance to attend their unlimited sushi and dimsum experience that’s help every first and third Wednesday. Upon arriving we were seated and it took us flagging down and calling nearly 4 different waiters before we finally got a menu. After that it took flagging down our original waiter multiple times before she attended to us. We didn’t get our drinks (water and a coke) for another 20 minutes. When the food came it was way beyond expectation. And it was the same cycle of horrible service. I am extremely disappointed and expected a lot more.

A Hidden Gem Worth Discovering! Bambino Restaurant exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. 😊The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel personal and relaxed.🤗 The food was outstanding – fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and flavors that truly stood out. This is the place to chill with your gang and a very loooong island. Highly recommend. 😉
