It was my first time here. I am not a big fan of Italian food but, that changed with il bambino. The service was great and FAST. The food was fresh & DELICIOUS. Jose was BEYONG amazing. He found out it was our first time here and treated us to a dessert. Tiramisu is hit or miss…. Here I HAD 2. I cant wait to come back and eat here again. Love this place.
All employees, the food and the environment was fantastic. Jose our waiter, is a special person. He is warm, professional, pleasent and the best waiter we have experience in a long time. Congratulations José for being the best of the best!!
A quaint little ltalian restaurant with homemade cuisine just west of the Palmetto Expressway on Bird Road. since 1989. Boasting authentic flavors and warm, family-style hospitality, ensuring every meal feels like home. Beautiful decor and atmospher with excellent service. Maybe more for special occasions as on the more expensive side for Italian restaurants. I had one of the best Lobster Ravioli that I have ever had, with a slab of lobster in the middle of the plate, but it was a special so may not always be available. Definitely worth a visit for Italian food lovers.
I had a delightful experience on my first visit to Il Bambino Restaurant. The food was enjoyable, with the chicken cordon bleu and 4 cheese flat bread pizza standing out. The service was prompt and efficient, pleasing everyone in our group. The only minor drawback was the slightly cramped ambiance due to the close arrangement of chairs and tables, but this did not overshadow the overall positive experience.
I had an incredible experience at this Italian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh & flavorful. The cozy atmosphere made the evening even more enjoyable. A special shoutout to Jose, who was by far the best waiter I’ve ever had. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend this place and be sure to ask for Jose when you visit!
I've been going to this restaurant ever since I was small, and it's always been amazing. The food is so fresh and prepared so well (my favorites are the lasagna, chicken francese, meatballs, and cannoli), staff are super friendly, and the menu has a large variety of foods to try. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone, it's a must!!
Great Italian restaurant on Bird Road. Went here for the first time for a friend’s birthday. The ambience is great, the survive is superb and the food is delicious. The onion soup her is really big and super delicious. I ordered the chicken Marsala which was divine. My husband ordered the chicken cordon bleu and loved it. We will be coming back for sure. Go and give them a try and let me know what you think…
