Il Bambino - Los Angeles

My friend and I stopped by for a quick lunch and we ended up ordering more than we expected. The food was amazing!!! Coming back, that's for sure!

By far, one of the best hidden gems in Los Angeles. And you know how I discovered (I use that term loosely)? Google Maps. A friend of mine and I make plans once a month to have dinner and catch up and it was my turn. And I was, hmm, where do we go? I was about to suggest Bestia, but she had already been. And when I found IL Bambino and read the reviews and saw the food, I told her we have to try it. First off, it's this cozy little restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Customer service and attentiveness is spot on (but we also went on a weekenight). My friend and both had their specials, but started off with their zucchini souffle OMG you must try THAT. The white sauce and truffles are heavenly. I had a crab linguine, which was splendid! My friend hadna pasta too, something with Zucchini and squid ink. I tasted it, it too was spectacular. And the portion is so hearty, we had to take a doggy bag each. But that didn't stop us from having dessert. From start to finish, everything was tasty. We both arrived a little after 7pm on a Wednesday. Found plenty of parking on 14th street, as the restaurant sits on the corner od 14th and Hooper. Very quiet area. Go. Go and try. You won't be disappointed.

I don’t care whether if I’m sitting in a fancy dining room, or on the side of the street, food is all it matters. Anyone who knows me well know I LOVE to eat. And il bambino has it all, the look, the smell, and the taste. Easily the best Italian food I’ve ever had. And I don’t say statements like this often. Fresh, homemade, and very friendly service.

Came for dinner with the family, found street parking right away. The most unassuming place I've ever been, to but the food is heavenly. Dish after dish was a flavor explosion. High quality dining for an affordable price and quality customer service. Everything is fresh and i mean everything including the pasta which is made from scratch. And dessert was equally amazing. If there were more stars I'd give them a higher rating.

Always drive by this location when I go to smart and final so I had to try it . I ordered pizza for the kids and chicken Alfredo for me and the wife. Food was great service was great only thing I didn't like was the table was super wobbly. I can honestly say the food was better than olive garden .
