Bambino's Ristorante

Italian restaurant · Cole Valley

"Bambino's is definitely Cole Valley's sleeper restaurant, probably in part because it's just two doors down from the uber-popular Zazie. But there's a reason this Italian restaurant has survived — and thrived — in the neighborhood for 35 years. The menu is extensive and the portions are enormous, so be prepared to do a lot of sharing. Not in the mood to eat out? Bambino's pizza travels very well. Brunch is also underrated and an excellent option for when you're too hangry to wait for Zazie." - Daisy Barringer, Eater Staff
