   Authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of Cole Valley. Hard to find this level of quality and service at reasonable prices these days.

   It was our first time at Bambino's. It was hopping; very popular neighborhood hangout and a good value for four people going out to dinner. Three of us enjoyed our food, the fourth didn't. She had the veal and thought the sauce was too runny/not too tasty. I had gluten free pizza which was delicious and my husband had the linguine vongole which he really enjoyed. The wine was a great value and tasty at $40/bottle-a good value for wine out. Wait staff was friendly, as was the owner who made us feel welcome. We would gladly come back.

   Eric, thank you for your review. We're sorry your friend didn't enjoy the veal dish on our Special Menu. We hope she had a good time despite it. Had we known she wasn't happy, we would have gladly made her something else. We will certainly address her comments with our staff. We do appreciate your favorable review and hope to see you all again soon.

   Service was very good from the somewhat overwhelmed staff - seemed like maybe someone didn’t show to help with Sunday brunch. They were still friendly and efficient. Not sure why this restaurant isn’t more popular for brunch with the spot next door always with a wait and certainly not any better. Enjoyed my breakfast pizza a lot! And really nothing to complain about.

   We had a large family group that included theee young children and the staff was very supportive of this: had a high chair, patience and smiles.

   For years I have always felt that Bambino's is the best Italian restaurant in San Francisco. The food is always fresh and flavorful and the service is excellent. Their location in Cole Valley makes parking easy and it is a very safe neighborhood to walk in. No homeless, no litter. The owner makes his own delicious desserts. Their fish and pasta specials are freshly prepared daily along with their acompaning sauces. I would highly recommend this restaurant to visitors and locals alike. Noone would be disappointed in this gem of a delightful restaurant.
