Bambinelli's Italian Restaurant

This place is nice. The food is very good. The service could improve, however. I got the Carbonara pasta with added shrimp and chicken. The fried mozzarella was also good. And the garlic knots were fantastic. I just had to ask for fresher baked ones to get the full experience. I saw my server bring good ones to the table ahead and you could see the garlic butter glistening in the light; mine looked nothing like that and was room temperature. But, other than that, I was satisfied.

Food and service is always great! Love the giant garlic rolls. Lasagna is good and fresh. Ravioli was good size and the sauce had great flavor. Margaritas were also very good 😊 oh don't forget the tiramisu!!

The food was great, loved the flavor of the shrimp scampi. Well proportioned. Yes food prices have increased but I judge it on how much food I get. If I get enough for two meals then I think of my price in half. This meal was enough for two. The rolls were soft and buttery, just the way I like them! Wait staff was very friendly and attentive. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Thank you Valeria, hopefully you are my waitress when I come in next time. I will be returning.

We celebrated a birthday with about 40 people. Bambinelli's manager and staff were on it - they greeted us as soon as we arrived to set up. They offered their help, the food came out on time, and they were available during and after the party. They provide a nice area for a private event & were more than willing to change the table setup to meet our needs. The food was delicious, too! Bambinelli's is a great choice for dining & celebrating!

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in the Atlanta area. The food is always fresh and filling! The plates are huge and delicious. Service is always on point. This location is perfect for a date night or if you just want to sit at the bar and have a drink while watching sports. I also recommend this location to bring the entire family too!

Host was nice. Sever was awesome. Food was tasty with HUGE PORTIONS. The only thing we didn't like was the calamari. 😑 But the marina sauce- delicious 😋👌🏿 Learned they'd been in the neighborhood since 1980 😮, but that was my first time ever knowing about them. Just happened to find it due to a Google search for food nearby. Plan to go again.

Oh Bambinelli's, to know you is to love you. I have never felt so passionately about a restaurant before, but today, I confess my love to you. I haven’t had the pleasure of stepping into this restaurant, but every delivery feels like it’s bringing a little piece of Italy right to my door. From the moment I open the package, I’m swept away by the aromas of freshly baked rolls, rich sauces, and that unmistakable warmth that only true comfort food can bring. Your rolls alone are a masterpiece—soft, warm, and wonderfully fresh even after a delivery trip. But the star of every order is the fettuccine. Each time I open the container, I’m greeted by perfectly cooked pasta in the most heavenly, creamy sauce, as if each noodle was made just for me. It’s smooth, rich, and utterly satisfying, a little slice of pasta paradise I can count on every time. It felt like eating a cloud from heaven... Your portions, so generous. Your prices, so lovingly affordable. I can never get Italian from anywhere else without thinking of you... You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. and my friend liked the meatballs.

It’s good enough, but the prices are crazy for an order that’s going to be messed up (missing toppings, sloppily prepared). This was a pizza with extra cheese and meatballs. Kinda rough looking for $30 worth of pizza.

Service excellent Went for saturday lunch with son. He had chicken parm hero with fries. (Only half as it was big) I had humongous delicious four cheese ravioli. Wife had fettuccine Alfredo and added grilled shrimp. Garlic rolls great

I recently placed a pickup order online, and the process was incredibly smooth. I received a timely text notification when my order was ready, which was very convenient. The pickup instructions were clear: follow the "to go" signs to the side of the building and park in a numbered spot. Once parked, I called the provided number, gave them my parking spot, and an employee promptly brought out my food. The young employee was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the quality of the food didn't live up to my expectations. The fried calamari ($14) had an overwhelmingly strong fishy smell, which I've never encountered before. It wasn't as crispy as I usually expect from Italian restaurants, and the lingering odor in my car was unpleasant. I also ordered two dinner rolls ($2), which looked appealing but lacked the buttery flavor I anticipated. The baked ziti ($16), while visually appealing, had an odd taste in the sauce that I unfortunately couldn't enjoy. I was only able to eat a couple of bites before discarding the rest. I've heard positive reviews about this restaurant, so I was quite surprised by my experience. While the service was excellent (5 stars), the food quality was disappointing (2 stars). I'm unsure if I would return.

I was craving Italian food and decided to order from Bambinelli's on Uber Eats. I went with the shrimp scampi, and it was delicious--very flavorful and a generous portion. It was enough for multiple servings. I also ordered a cannoli, which I had never tried before. It was pretty good, and they provided two in the order. I also got the pasta carbonara with Italian sausage and a meatball, and it was amazing! I ended up eating too much in one sitting, but the portion could easily be split into three or four servings. I finished it in two. Bambinelli's is a spot I've been going to for a long time, and it hasn't lost any of its appeal. For a quick and satisfying Italian meal, I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

We had only ever ordered delivery from Bambinelli's so this was our first time coming in. We had excellent service and appreciated the complimentary garlic knots. The meatballs here are also very tasty. The fried calamari was a bit too heavy for my liking (and I had to ask for lemon) and the pizza was greasy. We were seated in a booth and could feel the pressure of the people behind us on the seat back. The restaurant itself could use some repair as it shows signs of wear. There's a decent variety of dishes on the menu but the only filled pasta is cheese ravioli; it would be nice if they had more specialty things like gnocchi, lobster ravioli, etc. I think we will still order for delivery but stick to the things we know we like.

I ordered the baked ziti and garlic bread on ubereats. My food arrived still warm and ready to eat. The portion size is humongous. This meal is definitely enough for 2 people but in my case, I'll have leftovers for tomorrow. The garlic rolls were light fluffy and delicious. I'm very happy with my delivery order!

Updated review: I had the best of intentions to get some new/more photos posted, but alas when our entrees arrived, they smelled so good we grabbed our forks and dug right in --- mmmm the garlic. As we were packing up the leftovers, hubby said did you get your pictures? LOL. Next time... We had spaghetti with marinara and the sausage and peppers (also served on spaghetti). Dinner portion sizes are huge - hubby gets dinner and lunch from his spaghetti; and I get dinner and 2 lunches from my sausage/peppers. We always split the small house salad and enjoy the complimentary garlic rolls. Another tasty dinner at Bambinelli's.

Took grandson and son-in-law to dinner yesterday They ordered shrimp and scallops, spaghetti/Meatballs. I did the House salad and the house Davinci chianti. ( I'm on a diet but I like Chianti #cheat ) I also had one of their great rolls, don't tell my wife. All was excellent, great service by Julieta as well. I was a multi-decade customer of Bonnie Bambinelli at original location but i like what they've done decor wise at the new location. A lot of the original pictures of her and guests. Even an album to look through in the foyer. Great people and food as always!

Literally standing at the host stand as I type this waiting to be sat. Got here 3:10, it's 3:19. Restaurant is empty, it's 3pm on a Monday, and I'm just waiting. Think I know why. About to walk out. Try again Bambinelli's, do better. 3:22, was sat. Guy was rude when he sat me, seemed annoyed I was there. He'd been sitting in the back corner of the restaurant eating and on his phone. K. Told him I'm in a rush, literally ordered before I sat down. Let's see what happens. Food came out fast (3:27) and was good as usual (I typically do delivery/pickup). Will be ordering from the other location next time though for sure!

We've ordered many times through delivery but never had a chance to actually eat at the restaurant until now! Lots of parking available and space inside. The menu includes appetizers (like fried ravioli), salads, special features, pizzas and both italian and pasta specialties. While their dishes are around $20, the portion sizes are pretty huge and you will be guaranteed to have leftovers. Our table came with a basket of fresh garlic knots/rolls which were so yummy! Chicken Parmesan ($20): our go to item. You get two pieces of chicken that is nicely fried over a bed of spaghetti noodles with sauce on top. The meat isn't dry and there's plenty of sauce. Our favorite thing to do is to mix these noodles with the fettucine alfredo - it makes such a delicious sauce! Spaghetti with meat sauce (+ a meatball $2, total $19): classic meat sauce. What surprised me was the meat ball and how juicy and flavorful it was! Blackened alfredo pasta with shrimp ($28): we typically get the fettucine alfredo with shrimp but decided to change it up a bit and get the blackened version. It's essentially the same thing except you're paying an extra $3 for the blackened seasoning they sprinkle on top. It's good but I don't think is $3 extra worth. I would opt for the original, they give you a generous portion of shrimp and the sauce is delicious Overall, I think this place hits the spot if you're craving classic Italian dishes. Recommend with the chicken parmesan and the fettucine alfredo - come hungry!

This is the second time I've eaten Bambinelli's while traveling through Atlanta for work. The pizza is consistently really good. Their pizza dough is really good, so the crust always tastes really good. I've also had a Caesar salad each time. The salad is always fresh, and you can tell the Caesar dressing is made in the restaurant. It's fantastic! Lastly, make sure to get an order of garlic knots or their cannolis for dessert.

Wow! Got take out pizza and garlic bread and it was delicious! Love that they have a dedicated take out area that is staffed and efficient. Place is spacious, clean and well-lit. Garlic knots are delightfully doughy. Pizza was LOADED with toppings, and crust was soft and crispy.

Wow! The baked lasagna was epic as takeout and did not disappoint in house. The Greek salad is great and our Bambi pizza was delicious. Service was good and the host was personable and kind. Definitely worth a visit.

Pretty solid pizza. Great garlic knots. Service was excellent I'd go back if I was in the area. Would love to try the pastas. They looked great. Note: meatless Friday.

Pizza was salty big time. I managed to eat one piece. The seating was uncomfortable. Service was okay as long as I was willing to wait.

I gave it 5 stars because the food is good and plentiful! Every order could feed a family of 4/5. The plates were as big as your head! The service was OK. Not fast like we're used to in the North(from MN in town visiting), but it was OK to slow down and relax. The bathrooms were nice, clean and bright. We had Alfredo with grilled chicken and broccoli, potato gnocchi and chicken parm. It was so much that we had to take majority of it to go. It's good when you add some seasoning(salt and pepper). The tomato bisque was so salty my mom had to send it back. The bread they bring you while you wait could be a meal! They bring you about 8 rolls that are bathed in butter and lots of garlic. They are SO good. We would go back for sure!

I ordered from Bambinelli's through Uber Eats. I got the shrimp scampi and an order of dinner rolls. The order made it to me with no problems but when I opened the container I could tell there was a lot of garlic by the particles sitting on the side. Upon tasting the food the garlic did overpower the pasta. I couldn't taste anything else. The shrimp by itself was delicious and seasoned well. But they should consider going lighter on the garlic.

We celebrated my father's birthday tonight. We were a big group and the staff was fantastic! Our server was amazing !! It's a must place to go!

I've eaten here in person before and today I doordashed it because I couldn't leave my house. The first time I was there I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, it was extremely bland and had zero flavor. In hopes of getting a better experience, I ordered the same fettuccine (added extra garlic in case it was bland again), salad and garlic bread. Garlic bread: 10/10. Soft, fluffy and buttery. The garlic was not overpowering it was perfect. Salad: never received it. Pasta: will not be getting this anymore. I'm glad I added the extra garlic because that's the only flavor I'm receiving. I don't even taste the actual Alfredo sauce. If you get this, be sure to keep a salt shaker next to you because there is none. To be honest, I wish I ordered the fettuccine from Olive Garden. 1/10

Bambinelli's is an AMAZING restaurant in Tucker! The atmosphere is what first impressed me, from hanging plants to a fun sign on the wall, it would be an amazing family spot or date night. I ordered the broccoli gnocchi, and it was truly perfect. Couldn't finish, but it was some of the best gnocchi I have had! The service was also great, but I came for lunch so I'm sure it wasn't as busy as dinner time. Can't wait for to come again. Really, it's a great spot! Highly recommended.

I ordered 2 large pizzas Friday night around 7pm and was so disappointed. The pizza was SUPER salty to the point it was inedible and when I called and spoke to a manager, he told me that he would speak to the kitchen. In no way did he try and rectify the situation and I payed $40 for 2 pizzas my family barely touched.

I order 1 dish from Bambinelli's and it's perfect every time - The shrimp fra diavolo! You must try it if you like a little spice. It's also dairy-free, a huge plus for those of us who love Italian food but are lactose intolerant. And the garlic knots I always order online, but I can hear the excitement of the seated customers. The area where I pick up is clean, orderly and comfortable. This place is definitely a staple for me!

This place made me and my family immediately sick. The sauce is disgusting, the tomatoes are definitely canned and not drained, there were literal whole rubbery tomatoes in the sauce. Took grandma here for her birthday, she referred to the chicken in her dish as "meat cubes", waiter took her order off. Just gross. Stay away.

Today we ate lunch at the Tucker location for the first time. I had heard they had big portions but it was REALLY big ! I had the Chicken Parm and my wife had the Eggplant. We brought half home including a bunch of those garlic rolls. I also ate 5 of them with my lunch. I am definitely recommending this place ! I see by their website there is one pretty close to me near Sweetwater Brewery so we will see if it's as good :) Edited to add that Marquis was our server and was fantastic !

I ate at this location twice in two days and my experience was 180 degrees apart. The first day I ate there with my coworker and it was incredible. The server was friendly, helpful and attentive to our needs. Our drinks came right away and he took our order as soon as he returned. We had Calamari for an appetizer. They came out as big as onion rings. Plenty of marinara which never seems to happen. They were delicious, I ordered spaghetti and meat sauce, this was a huge bowl with about twice what anyone should eat and the sauce was great. My coworker ordered the sausage and peppers and said it was great, this was also huge and she took over half her food with her. The garlic bread was pull apart and flavorful. I personally prefer slices to sop up the sauce but that is just a preference. This would have been a 5 star rating..... except I went back! The next night I didn't want to drive so I went to the same place. The server, I think she said Valeria was terrible. She took my drink order as soon as I sat down, then she asked me if I was ready to order. I was not so she went to get my drink and didn't return for about 15 minutes( it was iced tea not booze). The menu did not say that the sausage and peppers came with pasta and I could not remember if my coworker got any or not. I was prepared to order something else if not. She said it did so that is what I ordered along with fried mozzarella as an app. The mozzarella came out in about 3 minutes, the cheese was not even warm, not like uncooked but like it had been waiting for someone to order it. My entree came out and there was no pasta! I ate the cheese and waited for her to come back. I told her there was no pasta and she said she confirmed and there should be. Then she looked at me as though she did not know what to do next, then asked me if I wanted her to take it back to the kitchen . I told her I did and she came back with a bowl with the pasta in the bottom, very hot and what I think were the same sausage and peppers on top, not so hot. The onions and sausage were fine but the peppers were not cooked. I finished my meal and i could not find her to get my check. I had to ask another server. If inconsistent service was the only problem I would probably have written a nice review on day 1 and disregarded the service as a learning curve. The inconsistency in the kitchen as well would make me hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

If you're looking for a family owned place to munch on cheap Italian then Bambinelli's is for you! If you'd rather pay $3 extra per dish and get real Italian food that's genuinely good... well, maybe not. I thought that the Bambinelli interior for the Tucker location is bland. I know they just entered the new location, but I found the white tiles and jet black booths a bit severe. It's not exactly the cozy, family-style atmosphere you'd expect from a lot of Italian restaurants. As for the service: it was decent. We were told by the server that they were missing an ingredient for the appetizer on special and they couldn't serve it, and then he proceeded to walk away before we could even ask for another or see the menu again. That was odd. Otherwise the service was pretty good. The food was pretty mediocre in my opinion. I got the spaghetti and meatballs and it seemed pretty basic. The meat was largely flavorless, the pasta was average, and the red sauce was also pretty average. Not bad by any means, but definitely nothing special. The best part about the whole experience was the pre-meal bread, which was actually delicious. Otherwise, I can't say I would recommend it.

Highly recommend this restaurant. Ask for Marquis because he is the single handed best person ever. Ask for him. I normally never give above 20% but I'm definitely going to only ask for him moving forward. 10/10 will come again. FYI: every $100 = $10 off next time

Stopped in for a quick bite on our way to Clemson. Food was great and the garlic rolls were not too "garlicky". Just ordered a simple pizza since it was late. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. Price is very reasonable as well. Our server was nice and always checked in with us so we never needed to call for refills, etc....

One of the items we ordered was a child's portion Alfredo (ordered to go) with chicken added. $17!! (I didn't realize the price until after I paid.) The chicken was rubbery and tasteless. Their website welcomes feedback to the manager...so I provided negative feedback to him about food and price. His response? None. I guess he doesn't care. Bonnie would not have tolerated this lack of customer care.

A dear friend was leaving ATL and I agreed to bring dinner for our packing session. Italian was requested and I am glad I went with Bambinelli's! I placed a takeout order. The food was ready on time when I arrived and piping hot. They gave me all the requested extras including the paper plates (because of course my friend's kitchen was packed away in boxes). I ordered chicken Parmesan with an extra grilled chicken breast, Ravioli, Greek salad, and garlic knots. OMG, those knots were everything! The chicken parm was delicious and it was a decent portion. It was a good call to add the chicken breast instead of a completely additional entree. Honestly, a third person could have eaten with us. The red sauce was robust, which I loved. Salad was fresh. The ravioli was just ok. They were on the smaller side (but came with 7 pieces so that was cool) and appears to be the previously frozen, breaded and baked ravioli instead of the larger fresh ones. It was still ok though. Service was great. Overall, I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the mood for Italian!

This is my first time eating inside the restaurant. Usually I order through Uber Eats and that never disappoints. Eating in the restaurant was great as well. The food was hot, delicious and plentiful. Definitely enough food for leftovers. The service was excellent. Our server Estrella was on point. Can't wait to return. Plenty of parking. Nice ambiance. If you haven't tried Bambinelli's yet you should.

I've been eating from here for years in Tucker. excellent Italian food for a reasonable price, top 3 pizza. prices have increased as costs have gone up and still reasonable tasting as great as always! have not been inside the new location, but the previous location had great service.

I've been twice recently and have some firm opinions to share: 1. Food: This is a quantity over quality experience. Quality is fine but the presentation could be better along with more thoughtfulness about preparation. Like I want some crunchiness left on my chicken parm rather than it being drenched in sauce. Love the Tiramisu! 2. Service: This is a multiple servers at your table experience. Servers are friendly but sometimes are hard to flag down, but that is normal for anywhere these days. 3. Ambiance: First impression is missing the smell of Italian food and is replaced with the smell of cleaners. Not sure why you can smell the food outside but not in. Not fond of any of the decor in this new location. Fake flowers should be banned. The whole bar area should be much cozier. It is a lost opportunity in my opinion.

Bambinelli's in Tucker has the best staff who go above and beyond for their customers. All of the food is delicious with hearty portions. Great atmosphere and quick service. I have been a very satisfied patron for years.

Solid Italian restaurant we found while passing through from the airport on our way to SC. Asked for a fun server and we were seated with Hanna (she was so friendly and helped us navigate their amazing menu to pick the best options!). We did calamari for starters. The rings were a nice size and cooked to perfection. The only thing I would add are some fresh lemon slices to the plate for those who like lemon with their seafood. We did a pizza to keep it simple and went with the small so we didn't have to carry around leftovers while traveling. Solid local spot.

My third time having lunch and dinner there the food is awesome great service and good pizza and the entrées are good too.

I think this is definitely an in person kind of restaurant as anytime we have been there to dine in the service and food is amazing but we ordered via delivery app for dinner this evening and while we cannot fault the restaurant on the length of time the food took the fact they didn't have half our order in the bag and the pasta which is typically on of our favorites was probably the worst we have ever had from here. If you are going to serve large portions make sure you have enough sauce to cover half the noodles.

I have been going to this place for years, all of their locations, but moslty Tucker and Roswell Great food and atmosphere.

Oh I had to make sure to write a review this time! I've visited here two weeks in a row for lunch and both visits were superb. The restaurant is large with lots of great seating. I've had the greatest service every time I visit here. The calamari is lightly cook very fresh and dare I say the best in town, you would think you're somewhere in Florida! The next on my list is the pizza! We always order a large pepperoni sausage and mushroom pizza. This is our go to for calamari and pizza and we're loving it.

Bambinelli's has long been one our our local favorites. Recently, we took them up on their take-out BOGO offers. Both times we received large servings at a great price. The process is quick and simple, the pick-up takes about 60 seconds and the staff there are as polite and pleasant as you could want! Thanks, Bambinelli's!

Pepperoni pizza was good 5... chicken Parmesan 0... service was ok a little slow towards the end.... Long review short just get the pepperoni pizza if you go!

So when I clicked the button "write review" I was pretty sure it should be "Update review" as I've been here a ton of times and I can't believe I've never written a review about this place before. This has always been my go-to for lasagna and baked ziti, but don't sleep on the garlic knots, they are little pleasure bombs for your mouth. plenty of seating inside and a separate area for take out. I suggest that you order online for a quicker in and out I've seen their pizza but I haven't had a chance to order one yet that's next on my list. This one is worth a stop if you are in the mood for Italian.

We tried the new location this week while the family was in town. It is huge! Our party of 8 had a good meal. My favorite is the marinara sauce. I ordered the lasagna & thought it was tasty. I'd love a bit more sauce on it bc it was so good! The white pizza was waaaay too garlicky & i love garlic. Kids enjoyed their pizzas. Another family member loved the calamari. The portions are quite large....for my taste, too large. I will say the menu we were given had no details or information describing any of the menu items & while some things are obvious (lasagna, baked ziti), others are not. It's interesting bc other photos on yelp by patrons include menus with details. The salads come in an entree size & a feed-the-table size. Service was attentive. This is a solid red sauce Italian place.

This restaurant is a neat, little find in the heart of Tucker's shopping and hotel district. If you blink you might miss it. But after a lady I met ranted and raved about it, I had to try it. Especially since Ippolito's closed down in Peachtree Corners. I've been coming for 3 years. While the service can be inconsistent at times possibly due to the Covid aftermath and employee shortages, they always deliver on the freshness of the food. The garlic butter rolls - amazing. The lasagne and chicken cannolis with red pasta sauce and cream sauce - fantastic. Greek Salad - out of this world. It has a family friendly, Southern hospitality, old school charm with the tall, black ice cream shop style booths. I'm not sold 100% on the sweet tea, but it's fair, or the desserts. I never see anything I like, and I live for dessert. I loved the Fried Ravioli and my friend loved her Shrimp Alfredo with Broccoli added. We'll be back.

We were seated right away with a very friendly waiter who also took our order. I had linguene Alfredo which came out in a huge bowel- it looked to me as though the Alfredo sauce was from jar - as it was extra creamy (true Alfredo is pasta in melted butter , creamed with Parmesan & pasta water). The garlic rolls were generic soft rolls tossed in oil & garlic (I only took 1 bite). The new location was fairly large and a cosy atmosphere with comfortable bench seats. It was a great restaurant where you can easily hear your family conversation

My job ordered from here for lunch and it was soooo good! I got the chicken Parmigiana and it was everything I needed and more. The portion was big enough for three meals! The food was delicious and flavorful including the rolls! I will definitely be back on my own time.

I went with some friends and we all ordered something different and shared. It was all so good! The food was excellent and came quickly. Our service was awesome!

It's a very cute restaurant and the service was standard. That's the good news. The unfortunate news is: First moment you walk in- it doesn't small like food. There's no pizza aroma. Our calamari was flavorless. No seasoning from what we could taste. We used like from the bar to fix that. The pizza came out with a cardboard underneath. Was this a frozen pizza? Weird. Pizza flavor was standard. Nothing made the pizza stand out among other pizzas. Other tables ordered pasta. I will probably give those a try. I know this location just opened. And maybe they have a few kinks to work out.

I was there with a group around 35 people The food was really good and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. I recommend

I went during lunch time and although there were a lot of empty tables, I was told my to-go eggplant sandwich would take 25+ minutes due to the kitchen filling a catering order. I said that was fine and I could wait. Yo u can believe my surprise when I went to bit into the sandwich, but luckily opened it up first because it was a meatball sub. It is not like I ordered meatball and got sausage. I ordered an eggplant sub, a vegetarian sub, for a reason. I confirmed that I was rang up correctly and that clearly the kitchen did not pay attention to the order. When I asked for my money back, I was told that it could not be done even though it should be so simple to reverse a credit card charge. They gave me a gift card so I could return. As someone with dietary restrictions, it is hard to want to go back to a place that makes such a big mistake. I plan to just donate the gift card to the food pantry. I hope that my message made its way back to the kitchen because what happened should be considered a big deal.
