Let Cate do her thing! She makes the best cocktails... and she should be allowed to use fresh fruit!!

Bambino's Pizza has turned the corner and is creating some of the best Italian food in Concord. Their pizza crust is one of the all time greats and their breadsticks are to die for! The staff (Steven) is top notch and knows about customer service. Definitely will keep going to Bambino's! read more

I like that there are so many options to choose from on the menu, like pasta, ravioli, and various entrees. But, of course, we came here for pizza! Ordered online, and there was no easy way to order a "half and half" pie with one half a specialty and the other half customized toppings (that's an unfortunate inconvenience). Luckily they called me to clarify the order after it was placed, and though I overpaid, it all worked out in the end. We got a small (12-inch) pizza, half bambino's favorite, the other half with white garlic sauce, pepperoni, mushroom, jalapeno. Also ordered a side of garlic butter for $1.50 (a bite-sized scoop of whipped butter that was quite good) and a small side of ranch dressing for $1.50 as well (I liked that it was not hidden valley brand), both a tad pricey and not great value for what you get. Nonetheless, everything was absolutely delish! The pizza brimming with sauce, melted cheese, and savory toppings, the italian meats slightly crisp on the surface. The small size was more than enough for two hungry adults. We ordered for takeout, but there was a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating available at the restaurant, with a few medium sized TV's playing the niners game when we came by to pick up our order. The place looked a bit outdated, the decor and setting quite plain, and a sort of lackluster vibe even with an exciting football game showing on the screens. It's good we took our order to go. Service was sufficient, and the product did not disappoint. The pie we got, made of quality ingredients, fully satisfied our pizza cravings on this lovely Sunday evening. Thanks, Bambino's! read more

All I can say is this place has gone downhill since the new owner took over. I picked up food last night. The girl ringing me up was eating with food in her mouth another girl behind her where they keep stuff was also eating in front of all the customers who does that at a restaurant in front of people I asked for a side of honey basil vinaigrette, and they told me the kitchen said no, and I asked for the smallest container. It's just a joke. I won't be coming here with my family anymore. I worked in the restaurant industry for a long time and you're never supposed to be eating any food in front of the customer let alone ringing a Customer up and have food in your mouth while you're holding it. read more

The pizza is just fantastic ( haven't explored the entire menu yet! Great place for the family to enjoy. read more

It was my first and last time visiting Bambino's. It was 93 degrees outside and air conditioned inside. One of the waitresses opened the doors to the front of the building 3 times while we were eating. We asked her to shut the doors because it was hot. She argued each time that it was cooler outside than inside. She was sure that she was right. read more

Bambino's is our go-to spot for pizza. We dine in once in a while but pick up most of the time. The pizza is delicious, crust yummmm. They give you some awesome fluffy breadsticks that are similar to the crust and really nice for dipping in the salad dressing. I absolutely love their salad as well. It's pretty plain but so fresh just lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and croutons. The family size is generous and we always have some leftover. My favorite dressing is the italian. It's so tart and just perfect! You can't go wrong with dinner from Bambino's! read more

I heard that this places offers bottomless mimosas on the weekends so off I went with a girlfriend of mine. The playoffs were on and i wanted to catch them. This place is split in 2 one side is more like a bar with about 3 TVs and the other side is a restaurant. Upon walking it does look a little older inside but it's not awful, it's clean and that's what matters to me. I walked up to what I thought was a host desk but I was wrong lol nobody greeted me initially so i just sat at the bar. They had 2 bartenders Alex was one who was very nice and the drinks were great! We went and sat in the bar side, tv sound was very low so i asked if they could turn it up which they did. Tv sound was still low even when on 100. We ordered food ( chicken picatta, calamari,caprese salad, bambino's pizza) the food was the best part! The picatta was perfectly cooked and seasoned, calamari was like a steak style the sauces that they give are phenomenal!!! The pizza was great, i loved the breading. Again, Alex kept the bottomless mimosas coming and with a smile. The food and drinks would definitely have me Coming back! I just wish that they fix those TVs, i love watching football and would totally consider this place if i could hear the TVs lol This place is definitely a must try! read more

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION -- A TRUE HIDDEN GEM! I honestly don't even know where to begin. I hadn't been to Bambino's in a while and WOW -- what a mistake that was, because this place is PURE MAGIC. Met up with some friends and we ended up having the time of our lives. The energy is unmatched. The live music was incredible and set the perfect vibe, the crowd was so fun and lively, and the whole place just buzzed with joy. The food was absolutely delicious -- every bite reminded me why Bambino's is so special. On top of that, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely wonderful, making us feel so welcomed from start to finish. And the owners? Truly amazing people who clearly pour their heart and soul into this place -- it shows in every detail. Bambino's is the definition of a hidden gem. If you're looking for great food, amazing music, an unforgettable atmosphere, and the kind of night you'll be talking about for weeks -- this is it. Highly, highly recommend. Can't wait to go back! read more

ok ive been coming to bambinos for years now and the food has never disappointed me it is always great and the customer service is also great but this last visit i tried the expresso martini and let me tell you that it was beyond good! i see why they boast the award winning on the menu. the only complaint i had was that the restaurant was uncomfortably hot inside they definitely need to crank the ac up i was sweating inside. non the less i will be back for their delicious food and great drinks i will definitely be exploring the rest of the drink menu. read more

Bambino's is solid. Great beer selection, good service, and the kind of chill atmosphere you actually want to hang out in. Happy hour deals are worth showing up for, and the pizza's legit--crispy crust, quality ingredients, no corners cut. Easy place to relax, catch up with friends, or just grab a drink and a bite without any hassle. Definitely one of the better spots in Concord. read more

Bambino's fully reminds me of the old school pizzerias we had in the 90's and I love it. They have a great lunch buffet or slice options for a lunch special. One of my favorite things is their spaghetti with meat sauce, it's always so delicious and freshly made! The service is always friendly, fast and attentive! We love this local place. read more

Alissa is such a great server and she is awesome. She's so attentive and kind. She's just an angel. If she were ever to be let go it would be worst thing that would ever happen to the business.

Sorry but not sorry! We've been loyal neighborhood customers, but after many disappointing visits, including today, I can confidently say this was the worst dining experience we've had here. This place has become a hit-or-miss spot. We keep coming back for their delicious pizzas and pastas (which we do love), and we've even had the pleasure of being served by a great server (wish I remembered her name!) who works part-time. Unfortunately, when she's not there, I brace myself for mediocre service. Still, we come to support local businesses, and all we expect in return is consistent, decent service--not a gamble every time we dine. Today was no different than our other bad experiences, whether dine-in or takeout. When we arrived, the bartender--who was behind the bar--told us to seat ourselves. The restaurant wasn't full, two tables occupied along the wall, a group of about 12 in the center, and a few people at the bar. I counted at least five FOH staff. We sat down and waited... no menus, no greeting. After a few minutes, I went up to the bar to grab menus myself. I sat back down, and I tried to catch the attention of any server--anyone--to take our order. But they seemed to go out of their way to avoid us. Still, we stayed hopeful, thinking maybe they were really busy. A few minutes later, a party of four came in and was immediately greeted--with menus and utensils in hand. That was the final straw. We quietly got up and left. Unsurprisingly, no one noticed. Why would they? Am I wrong to decide never to come back again? read more

Great restaurant! I just checked for a pizza restaurant nearest and found Bambino's Restaurant in zip 94519! Great experience! Walked in and ordered the large cheese pizza with pepperoni! Short time!

Tried Bambino"s for the first time last night, and now I wonder why we didn't earlier, we are definitely adding them to the rotation. Service was excellent, thanks Maddie! Food was wonderful, and atmosphere was like chill, family vibe. This is a great neighborhood restaurant! Thanks again for the great service Maddie! read more

Seems like the place to be on a Friday night. The place was packed with many at the bar. It was more lively than most bars at restaurants. I ordered shrimp pasta...almost $30 for 8 shrimp and nearly tasteless Alfredo...very disappointing for the price. The shrimp tasted like it came from a big bag of already cooked frozen shrimp...not fresh...not fresh at all. The complimentary bread it came with was stale, but the fresh whipped butter was amazing! That was the best part of the meal. The staff were really nice, although they looked like they were really busy scrambling to meet the requests of customers. They seemed to handle the pressure really well. The place feels more like a bar than a restaurant, which might be good for some people. I'm not completely writing this place off for their bland expensive pasta. I still have to try their pizza. Five stars for the service. 1 star for the bland expensive pasta Five stars for the whipped butter read more

I used to go there weekly for their eggplant pasta primavera that I loved. Then they changed management - or cooks, I guess. Now the food is absolutely HORRIBLE. They served me a take-out that was burnt, tastless, hardened, overcooked, INEDIBLE. I returned it and caused a bit of ruckus asking how they could actually serve such garbage. They said they fixed it, so I tried it again a week later and lo - same thing . . . AWFUL, HORRIBLE. I stopped going there and really miss what was once my favorite weekly meal. read more

thought I'd give these guys a try for pizza tonight. I called in my order and ordered the bambino special double cut, cooked well done. although the flavor of the pizza was just OK, it was not cooked well done, and was not even cut all the way thru the slices and definitely not double cut like I ordered. When I got home, I had to cut it myself with my own pizza cutter. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Love all of their food! I only wish they would bring the family salads back to their normal menu (instead of only on their catering menu). We ordered one with our meals every single time! read more

Food was amazing! Our group got garlic breadsticks with a marinara dip, probably my favorite thing. I also ordered chicken parmigiana pasta and it was delightful. We also shared a pizza and the rest of my group got different kinds of pasta dishes for themselves. Overall everyone enjoyed. We came on a Saturday, and just missed the live performance since we came for an early dinner at 4 pm, one of the staff said there was a group performing at 6 pm, so might be a good date night if you're into dinner and a show. I'd definitely be back! read more

Lots of food options: pizzas, pastas, soups and salads, and dinner entrees. We ordered: The Favorite Pizza: so good, great flavor. Meatball Sandwich: Huge! My son loved it especially since it came with a side of spaghetti. Alfredo Capellini - very rich but really good. My daughter cleaned her plate up. Eggplant Parmesan - decent. Great flavor. It's like a lasagna but instead of noodles, they used fresh eggplant. The salad for 10 people is HUGE!! Service was amazing! Our waitress was super sweet, friendly and personable. We loved her! Great place to hang out and watch games. They have a full bar too. read more

I used to go here monthly to hear one of the best musicians in the area play which made the trip out to that part of Concord worth it. I would get a table right up front. Each time, I had to put up with a wait time of over an hour to get a medium size pizza because the service was always so slow. I no longer go there after witnessing how poorly the owner and music /event coordinator treated the musician. There is no integrity anymore in dealing with them. Pizza was basic and topping choices sugary anyway for such a long wait. I would never go back. read more

I think I was at this sports bar/restaurant a long time ago. Parking is not terrible but the strip mall was pretty full of vehicles. We were greeted immediately even though the restaurant was almost half full from the dinner crowd, the bar was pretty much full with various games on the screens. I need to warn that like a typical sports bar it was pretty noisy. The menu was pretty much chicken wings, pizzas and a good selection of pastas. I ordered their rigatoni carbonara, it did not have the requisite peas which is a staple for carbonara but not a standard. The dish was not bad but could have stood a bit more cheese and ground pepper not the pepper shaker stuff. We had to ask for bread which was part of the dish but I thought garlic bread was part of our pasta dishes but we never received it. There was not even a side salad to accompany the pasta. Service was relatively fast but we did have to ask for bread. The wait staff was doing dual roles taking care of the bar and the restaurant portion of this place. Like I alluded earlier the pasta was not bad but since I'm not a pizza or wings fan, that's the choices I'm left with. read more
