As a new Yorkers we always judge the pizza and We Absolutely loved this place! Every time I get to Seattle this is my to go spot!
Stopped in here on a late Friday afternoon and was kind of surprised how dead the area was, but happy to find this place. They had a huge beer menu and a the pizza looked good, so we stopped in for a bite. Tried the breadsticks first and they were meh - just pizza dough twisted served with cold marinara (that if it had any seasoning it was extremely light as it just tasted of tomato - although fresh tomato). I got a calzone for my meal and it was good. Like not out of this world good, but decent. I liked the variety of beers (although they seemed to be out of a few). Service was extremely slow, although there only seemed to be one server and she was bartender, online order filler and waitress (so he had a lot on her plate). It was an easy going vibe. Food was good not great, but decent.
Despite going to Seattle Center for shows regularly, this is our first visit to Bambino's Pizzeria. I always have a fear that places too near SC are tourist traps. The reviews are rather random with a love-it or hate-it pendulum. We had a good overall experience. The restaurant itself is in an older building. What we can see looked respectable enough, although my husband did advise me to skip the bathroom. Our server is enthusiastic and eager; he bought us menu, water, food expeditiously. After reading the reviews, we kept our orders to entrees only. Street parking only. Family friendly. The Food: Primavera pizza, 10", $18 - 4 Stars Menu: Tomato Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella, Onions, Peppers, Mushrooms, Olives, Tomatoes The menu specifically says they bake their pizzas to 'dark'. When the pizza arrived, it just looks normal to me. I have seen much, much darker (i.e. too dark). The pizza is fully loaded with lots of veggies. The center did get soggy, so it didn't pass the New York test, if you know that rule. It is possible this will happen only for the veggie pizza. The crust has a fantastic chew. I regularly don't eat the crust, but I did with this one. The sauce could use a wee bit more herbs, seasonings. I added pepper flakes to compensate. Overall, I am sufficiently satisfied. Pancrazio calzoni, $16 - 4 Stars Menu: Italian Sausage, Mushrooms The calzone arrived at our table perfectly puffy, as it should be. It is a good size for one person. The inside is well stuffed. The sausage adds more flavor than the veggies; the sauce didn't seem under-flavored in the calzone. My hubby was happy with it, though he managed to find the appetite to eat one big slice of my pizza, too. Honestly, for their location and proximity to Seattle Center, I thought their prices and amount of food are very reasonable and perfectly good for locals to eat here. This explains why there were at least two tables of regulars who chatted with the staff and left with 'see you next time'. We can see ourselves returning for a quick meal before a show, too.
In a neighborhood full of 21+ restaurants this place is family friendly. The service was meh. They weren't busy but it took a long time for us to get drinks and refills. The breadsticks - zero stars. They have no flavor, no garlic or butter. Just dry bread. The marinara sauce is different. I can't put my finger on it but none of us liked it. The pizza - 3 stars. The sauce on the pizza is different than the sauce for the breadsticks and I'm really glad it was. They cook their pizza with dark crust so if you like it light you have to tell them.
Avoid if you can. Only restaurant available on NYE, which in hindsight should have been a red flag. Stopped in for drinks and a quick bite. Got a Moscow mule, which was unbalanced and bitter. The Italian margarita wasn't much better. Got the breadsticks, and they came underdone and tasting blander than church wafers. the marinara was like store bought and the watered down. They brought marinara in these huge ramekins but only 1/4 filled. Wait time was 30 minutes for drinks and bread. No gelato either even though they had multiple flavors on the menus. Service was meh at best, the ambiance was very cozy just do better with food and drinks.
Not sure why this place has the rating it did but it was one of the best pizzas we have had, the crust was perfect and it had the best cheese pull and toppings. We went on a Tuesday around 3pm and it was slow so the workers were attentive and nice - great service / they were sweet. highly recommend if in the area
I had high hopes for Bambino's, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the expectations. The salad was decent (Insalata Di Noci Salad)-- fresh enough to earn a 3/5 -- but the pizza was underwhelming at best, closer to 2/5 in terms of flavor and texture. To make matters worse, the server accidentally spilled my drink, and half of it ended up in my lap. There was no offer of napkins, no partial credit and not even a refill -- just an awkward moment and poor service that left a lasting impression (literally and figuratively).
A local suggested this place. We had the Tropical and Bambino pizzas. Not impressed at all!!! No flavor to the sauce, pizza was mushy and overall very bland tasting. Will not be returning.
Once agian disappointed in the pizza in Seattle this like 10 place I been to not very good it was thrown to gether no since of purpose pizza was doggie but burt on the bottom to much stuff on it that probably why it was soggy service was shit she left to some where didn't see her until she brought the check definitely don't go here
We stopped in for an afternoon snack so take this with a grain of salt. We ordered the breadsticks and Calorosa pizza. Breadsticks are rolled up pizza doughs, which is a fun concept but they're actually just extremely bland. The cold marinara has some seasoning but the contrast of freezing cold tomato sauce and steaming hot dough is off-putting. My friends said that the pizza was good, a bit greasy, but hot and tasty. Seems like a sporty, casual hipster place. Not super busy at 3pm, they also have a happy hour around 4pm so maybe it picks up more in the evening. We were the only patrons in the restaurant. Service was quick and attentive, but kept pressuring us to order more food since we got a small pizza to share. It was a little awkward.
3.5 stars Love the cozy, homestyle interior with the open kitchen :) Pork belly Appetizer ($13) - Yummy - I wish the pork belly had been salted or seasoned some, though it was delicious. The breadsticks that come with it are sizeable. I asked for a side of marinara too which was just okay - it was weirdly watery whereas I think I prefer a sweeter marinara. Pepperoni Pizza (10") ($15) - So yummy! I love the kind of pepperoni that crisps up when it bakes. Polite staff.
We came as a party of 2 on Pride Sunday! This was a great way to beat the heat. It was slammed, but we still enjoyed great service. We had their caesar salad and split a 10 inch Capricciosa pizza. I absolutely love the quality of their food-they wood fired the crust and the ingredients they used were fresh. I would love to come back for some beer.

The pizza sauce was way too sweet and didn't have enough seasoning or flavor. It kind of felt like dough with very sweet tomato sauce on top. We just did a to-go order with margarita pizza and breadsticks and it was ready in a good amount of time. The staff was nice when we came to pick it up, though the shop was empty. Not too pricey at all. Overall not the best pizza, but still decent. read more

Pizza was really yummy make sure you like smokey as it was really smoky .. the fig dressing was so delicious! Ordered delivery will be back read more
Decent food, cool space, and super friendly staff! The pizza crust was amazing -- fluffy on the inside with a good crunch on the outside! The sauce was pleasant and the toppings on the Calabria pizza were good and fresh (note, that this pizza is a little spicy). We also ordered the Genovese pizza and the pesto was good, but the chicken was a little on the tough/dry side. We got the hazelnut chocolate gelato for dessert and it was delicious (however of the 7 listed flavours they only had three in stock that day). Our sever was helpful and friendly, and the food came out quickly. Walking distance from Seattle centre and plenty of parking in the area! Lighting is dark and the atmosphere is rustic. Cool spot! read more

The service and pizza were great. I had the Lazio one with the mushrooms and truffle oil, I recommend that. My stepmom got the buffala mozz one, also good. The pepperoni was extra, as my dad ordered, and let me tell you they were generous. The beer was not my favorite but that is on me and my taste, not the beers fault. Bathroom was scary, but they just need to spruce it up. read more

Always our first stop off the plane and on the way home! Best pizza, best service and really friendly staff! read more
We were walking in the area and Bambino's was the only eating establishment without a line. There is a limited menu but if you want pizza or a calzone, it's worth a try. I had a meatball, pepper and onion calzone. It was cooked perfectly and looked great. The taste was good but they were light on all of the ingredients. I only had2 bites with meatball in it. Most calzones have mozzarella and ricotta but this had a moderate amount of Mozzarella. I also tried a slice of margarita pizza which was good. The waitress was pleasant. If you're in the area stop by, it's worth a try. read more

The ambiance was very cute but that's where it started and ended for me! The service was fine. Granted, I came in with about 45 minutes to spare (the place I wanted to go closed early because their AC was out) so this is what I had to choose after Ubering to the area. I got breadsticks and margherita pizza (adding chicken). Unfortunately, the breadsticks were the best part of the meal. The sauce for the breadsticks was bland, and the pizza was interesting (again, I think the problem was the sauce). I've never had a margherita pizza with just one piece of basil on each slice. The flavor lacked and the sauce/cheese wouldn't stay in place. I don't think I'd return here, but their wine menu was expansive so maybe that would have changed my meal experience. read more

The service was top notch. Sat at the bar and the bartender was very personable. The pizza was fine and the beer selection was great. Had a gelato for dessert that was pretty good. Not a bad option for a laid back drink. read more
