Bambino's Restaurant & Bar in Concord - pasta, pizza, full bar and tap room 1895 Farm Bureau Road, Concord, CA 94519

"First off, you don't come here for the vibes. The restaurant/bar itself is pretty old and run down, but the food was delicious! I chose this place for my family and I to eat for my belated birthday celebration (I was celebrating all month haha) because I saw reviews that it's family friendly and kids really like the food. I wanted to make sure my niece would find something on the menu that she wouldn't mind eating. My family liked the seafood appetizers and pasta, as well as the pizza. For the adults, the staff was very attentive and provided great beverage recommendations. They have a great selection of wine and beer. Great local restaurant in the Concord community!"

"I called for a pick up tonight, the restaurant had a steady flow and 3 people on staff that I saw. That lead to a rushed service to be undesirable. I also ordered last minute calamari I was very disappointed on the amount served, esp for paying over $17 and i was not expecting strips, But It was soft, and tender. Is it because it was a to go order that I don't feel we got a decent portion size ? Would that have been served like that if we had dine in? I know the world is hurting, not just restaurant. it's a treat to eat out now a day. It's a bummer, I would have liked to try their pizza sometime."

"This was my first visit there since the new owner took over. We went for lunch. My friend chose the buffet, which came with 3 options, depending on how many choices you wanted to take. He had salad bar, pizza by the slice, chicken Marsala, and two different ravioli selections. He enjoyed a good glass of beer, as well. I had my favorite pasta, creamy Bolognese with capellini. The service is super fast. In the past I've had their pizza, also delicious. I highly recommend and hope you try it"

"My wife and I were there for the first time today (2/10/22). We're coming back. Everything we had was delicious, hot, and quick from the kitchen. Sarah (with an H) was so very nice and didn't hover over us, but we never needed for water, extra napkins, or anything. Garlic bread with cheese, Clam Chowder, Meatball and Sausage Sandwich with a side of Pasta of your choice (handmade) with a sauce of your choice. Lastly, I had a pasta with gorgonzola sauce with diced tomatoes and spinach. I highly recommend eating at Bambino's. There's a full bar there too, seperate from the dining area, but we were just there for lunch. UPDATE: It's all true we really love this place. The food is terrific. The staff is wonderful."

"Good place to go with the kids. Everyone else has the kids kinda wild. So its perfect nobody will complain if we are a little too loud. We love the pizza and certain other things off the menu. Since we come here on the regular we obviously like it. Service can be a little off sometimes especially when it's busy. But hey they try their best and that's important."
