Fined here during Emerald City Comicon. They are located in the Summit Building of the Seattle Convention Center. While super busy they were quick to serve and the wait for a table was maybe 15 minutes. They had some drinks which played to their audience. Not sure if special for the event or just renamed. The Shadow Order was bourbon, all spice, orange, lemon, and tiki bitters. I loved the flavor combo on this and thankful I stopped at one. We had the margherita pizza. A more traditional cheese pizza with mozzarella and pecorino, tomato sauce and a few pieces of basil. What I enjoyed most was the well done thin crust. If you don't like the crust dark, try their entrees instead! This was a great place to eat and people watch. read more

Our table of four had just received our drinks when the server tripped and dumped all four drinks across the table and onto three members of our party. The table was soaked, menus were ruined, and we all had to jump up immediately. Thankfully no glass broke. The issue wasn't the accident itself -- accidents happen. The issue was the complete lack of urgency, empathy, or professionalism afterward. The server ran off, and we were left standing there for quite a while before anyone came to help clean up. Nobody apologized. Nobody brought towels or napkins to help dry us off. We had to ask ourselves to be moved to another table. Then a manager came over and jokingly said, "I see you guys are spilling tea over there," which honestly felt bizarre considering three guests were covered in drinks. The food and service after we were reseated were good, but by the end of the meal we were shocked nobody had still apologized. When we finally asked to speak to the manager about some kind of accommodation, he acted inconvenienced, claimed he "didn't realize anyone got wet," and then later made another joke saying, "I covered the iced teas," after removing about $100 from our ~$250 bill. To be fair, the discount was appreciated and generous. But what stood out most was that at no point did anyone simply say, "We're sorry." Good food can't fully make up for poor hospitality and dismissive management. Unfortunately, after this experience, I wouldn't return. read more

Came to Bombo for happy hour and had the Bombo pizza and house made focaccia. The pizza and focaccia were pretty underwhelming. This place definitely benefits from its location - right across the street from the Paramount Theatre and nearby the convention center. So it makes sense that the food doesn't need to be competitive. The service was solid. read more

Ate twice at Bombo this weekend because it was the most convenient place to go to during a volleyball tournament happening at the Convention center. First time went with a large group. I liked the Spring green salad which I more than I liked their Funghi pizza. Service was ok, but I know is hard to cater to a big group. The second time I went alone, sat at the bar (service was again just ok), had the beets and a side of chicken and it was very good. Only three stars because the service is just OK and I thought for the portion size it was pretty expensive, especially the salad and chicken.also they have a mandatory 20% service fee read more

Did you know this restaurant offers Lime helmets as an official location to pick up helmets? Now you do. I happened to stop in during happy hour and found myself sitting down eating the best mushroom pizza in Seattle. The made in house ginger drink was well balanced with ginger and fizz. The pizza is one of my favorites. Crunchy crust, balanced cheeses and great mushrooms. I came in the front and all tables were currently reserved. That didn't stop me from finding a seat at the bar. Lovely restaurant with so many options. read more

Pros: + Large portions + Amazing pizza options - I really loved the funghi + Happy Hour - 3-6 pm Mondays to Fridays (yes some of the pizzas are also on the Happy Hour List) Cons: - Expensive for the quality you're getting FYI: In lieu of a tip the total price you pay has a 20% surcharge (on top of listed menu prices) that is automatically added if you dine in. The staff explicitly tell you this before you sit down. IG: AndTheNextAdventureBegins read more

Bombo Italian Kitchen - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was going to a show at the Paramount and wanted to grab a quick bite beforehand. Bombo is conveniently located across the street in the convention center, so I decided to try it out. We arrived during happy hour and there were a few small discounts off food and drink, so we ordered a variety of things to share. We ordered the focaccia bread (fluffy, well seasoned and lightly crispy on the outside), the calamari (fried well and with a little bit of spice - possibly from the aioli), the cacio e Pepe (richer and creamier than I expected but really flavorful and I loved the addition of mushrooms) the Bombo pizza. The pizza was probably my least favorite, only because the toppings would slide off if you tried to pick it up, and the crust was a little flimsy, so it was definitely a fork and knife situation. Service was attentive and the food came out fairly quickly, so I would definitely come back here before another show! read more

Bombo Italian Kitchen - Bombo pizza Calamari Cacio e Pepe - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went here for dinner before a show at the Paramount. Nice decor, and warm on a cold night. Server was friendly. Focaccia appetizer, ordered drinks. Two of us ordered pizzas, one ordered a pasta dish. Drinks took a surprisingly long time to appear - well after the appetizer. My pizza came out cold, as in, hardened cheese, cold plate, cold. And covered in arugula that wasn't wilted, so someone put it on the cold pizza. Once I got the server's attention he replaced it, but given the short time frame it really took away from the experience. All in all, the kitchen / bar staff were slow or off, and the service didn't pay attention to our needs or what they were bringing out. They have a prime location, but it was disappointing for the experience. read more

Great location for Paramount-goers. Food was solid. A no-tipping policy? Shocking, but this is the way the world should be in my opinion. Chicken Caesar was perfectly portioned and chicken was tender and moist. Rigatoni was good. Pizza was acceptable- the crust was the best part. Possibly a bit too greasy for a slice (some people LIKE this!) and the cheese wasn't a favorite. This pizza info was from a fellow diner in our party. Restaurant was surprisingly non-busy for a concert night. read more

My wife and I went for happy hour and had a great time. Ordered: $12 old fashioned - very tasty honestly. $18 happy hour pizzas - I got the pepperoni with hot honey, delicious. My wife is gluten free and dairy free, they had options to accommodate which is great. The space is huge in the lobby of the Seattle Convention Center, honestly a vibrant spot. read more

Bombo Italian Kitchen - Bombo Pizza, Salsiccia Pizza - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I went here with a few friends for happy hour to make use of the final days of InKind 2x referral bonus, as this is one of several restaurants that are in the network. It is overall not busy, with plenty of walk-in seating even at 7pm when we left. We got the Bombo pizza, Walla Walla pizza, Salame Piccante pizza, roasted beets, a glass of house red wine, and espresso cream cannoli dessert. Happy hour makes the pizza $18 which is a reasonable amount, since I would not find it worth paying $23-25 for a pizza during normal hours. The regular pizza dough is decent, and the gluten free pizza dough ($3 surcharge per pizza) is a bit crispy and chewy and it's a nice experience to try getting one with and without gluten free option. The Bombo reminds me of classic New York pizza where there's pepperoni and hot honey, but the hot honey misses the mark as it was not spicy. It's supposedly their signature pizza but while delicious, it did not stand out as I could just pay $4 for a generous slice of this type of pizza in NYC and would not notice a huge difference. Walla Walla is a nice mushroom pizza with egg though scrambled so it is not visible. I always love caramelized onion so I enjoyed this one. I'd say this is #1 given it is a bit more innovative than the Bombo pizza. Salame Piccante is quite peppery with the salami and pickled vegetables, and the pickled vegetables are not too sour to drown out the other flavors. My friend enjoyed it but I don't like pickled stuff so this ranks #3 for the pizza choices we got. Roasted beets were fresh, though I'm not a fan of beets so I cannot comment beyond that. Espresso cream cannoli was bad. The shell is stale and the espresso cream was not too strong in flavor. Service is pretty poor given they mandate a 20% gratuity on all checks. We have to flag and chase the server to put in the order especially when happy hour is approaching conclusion. There is not much checking up during the meal but at least they gave us water refills by the bottle. read more

This was a great place to spend time before a show at the Paramount. Arrived without a reservation on a Thursday night and was told the upstairs area was booked, but the downstairs was open for 21+ patrons without issue. We ordered off the happy hour menu and loved the hot honey bombo pizza and drink options which were tasty and just the right strength. The winter greens salad was a good balance as well, and filled out the meal but I feel like the squash included could've been a bit more fresh. Overall the vibe and couch seating area was super cute and I'd definitely come back to try it again. read more

Went here before a show at paramount and was a bit odd bc we went upstairs to get a table and it seemed pretty empty with like 80% empty but they said they were full and we had to go downstairs to their bar to get, guessing bc of reservations. Was a bit suprised bc we got there at like 5:20 trying to get happy hour. We were promptly seated downstairs and ordered off the happy hour menu. Service was very nice and fast and the vibe downstairs was actually pretty cool. Overall all the stuff we ordered was good, the pizza was very good and I felt like sharing a pizza and a salad between two was perfect amount of food for us. I like the pizza a lot and it was a good deal on the menu, I thought the salad was a bit bitter and there wasn't that much squash in it and a bit unbalanced. Overall I'd come again, just for the food esp if I had a show nearby as it's a nice place to hang. read more

This restaurant is located right at the main entrance to the Summit building of the Seattle Convention Center. It has a large patio that opens onto the entry courtyard. I had talked to several people who ate there prior to my visit, and they all said the food was excellent but was very expensive. Quite true. I feel like this isn't just an expense due to convenience, but because the food and service is very good. If you look at the fine print on the menu picture I uploaded, you'll see a statement about how they pay staff and that a 20% gratuity is included in all bills. I went with a friend. We sat at a cute two person table on the patio. The staff did a great job of accommodating for my friend's allergy. We shared an asparagus dip and house-made potato chip appetizer; it was incredibly delicious, but about half our chips were crumbs that were impossible to dip, but when we asked for more chips, the server had more brought out without quibbling. I had the Caesar salad, which was huge and very fresh. I had a local cider from Yonder along with it. My friend had the chicken parmigiana, which was huge. She gave me a piece of her chicken, and it was very good. read more

Went here with a big group and we covered: Artichoke Dip Marinated Olives Housemade Focaccia Italian Sub Salad The Bombo (pizza) Margarita (pizza) Rigatoni Mafaldine Vegan Cheese Pizza (not recommended) Tiramisu Various Adult Beverages Service was outstanding, tons of space given how "not busy" it was, and a nice layout. Was a little difficult to have conversations a few people away at the long table given the music, but it wasn't bad. I was impressed with the pasta and pizza given so many negative reviews. I thought they may have been basic, but were well executed and delicious. read more

I didn't eat at Bombo but I had drinks there. They are located within the Summit building so I walked by a lot, and it looked good. The drinks were very good. The bar has a lot of comfortable seating and the drinks were strong. I think it would be a fun place to meet someone and hang out. You can order food at the bar as well but I was just there for libations. read more

Let me start by saying we love ESR and Bombo. We come every time we're in town for a show and always tell friends to check it out. But this visit... something was just off, way off. We arrived early (around 11:30 AM) when only one other table was seated and were so excited to enjoy one of our favorite spots before a show. We started with wine and the calamari -- which was quite good. Then came the Caprese salad. It looked beautiful, but that's where it ended. The tomatoes were so mealy they were nearly inedible. We ate maybe a quarter of it. Unfortunately, our server never asked how it was, and when we mentioned it, she was already so busy it barely registered. Next up was the Salsiccia pizza to share. By that point, we were starving, and it came out within about four minutes -- which was telling. The crust wasn't fully cooked, and the heavy layer of cheese overwhelmed everything. They no longer provide scissors for slicing, and the kitchen hadn't cut it all the way through, making it awkward to eat. Service from there was pretty much nonexistent. Such a shame, because we've always raved about this place and have had so many great meals here in the past. We truly hope this was just an off day, but something has definitely changed. read more

Stopped in for a solo dinner before a show at the Paramount right across the street. No reservation needed on this Friday night, I walked in and was seated right away at a bar top looking straight at the theater. The low lighting and warm wood made it a cozy contemporary feel. Gigantic portions for one, the Italian Sub Salad would've been easily sharable. The Tagliatelle pasta combined interesting flavors of butter, balsamic vinegarette, and parmigiana reggiano. Robust flavors for sure! A couple glasses of an imported red recommended by the server was a great accompaniment. I appreciated the host explaining the auto gratuity of 22% while I was being seated. He was very polite, kind and personable. Located at the corner of 9th & Pine, accessible from the Convention Center as well. read more

A solid place to come get some wood fired pizzas and drinks. They have both interior and exterior seating available. We came during happy hour and sat outside since it was a nice day. We had the Funghi and Bombo pizzas as well as some houdemade focaccia. Both the pizzas were good and a complete contrast from each other. I did enjoy the Bombo more as I felt it had a little bit more flavor to it. read more

The place is next to the convention place. So it is convenient.The ambience is pleasant modern Italian interior. The staff is really nice. It is all ESR restaurant atmosphere. The foccacia bread was good. It was a bit hard to break. But decent overall. The walla walla pizza was so so. The decor was good. The size was good. But the taste was nothing. There was hardly any sauce. I walked in expecting ESR level taste; but it did not meet the expectations. read more

Yaaaasss!! So this a new part of the convention center (I think it was remodeled but anyways...) aside from this place being beautiful it is now officially our spot to go to before we head in to any shows at the paramount. I love it! We made a reservation and were almost immediately seated, so let's talk food Roasted Beet 5/5 Solid yummy beets no complaints it wasn't anything that knocked your socks off but still a solid dish Margherita Pizza 5/5 So I couldn't for the life of me decide if I liked the mushroom or margharita. The dough itself was yummy but the tomato sauce was utter perfection. Funghi (Mushroom Pizza) 5/5 This was such a delicate and tasty pizza, lots of mushrooms, it's more of a white sauce pizza and garlicky which YES PLEASE!! Love love love it Mafaldine 6/5 dear sweet pasta gods what in the name of all reggiano. I am never making pasta again without aged balsamic oh yummm, I couldn't believe how good this simple sounding pasta dish was. YOU MUST TRY THIS!! (I also forgot to take a photo of this and it was immediately devoured The place looks gorgeous and the service was quick and efficient and the quick friendly of a busy restaurant Can't wait to come back!! read more

The service at this restaurant isn't great. We had to yell out to get someone, anyone, to take our order. After food arrived, they never checked back to refill drinks or ask how the food was. We ordered the Rigatoni and artichoke dip. Both were delicious but only wish we had better service which is probably why they automatically add a 20% tip because they definitely don't work for it. read more

Very nice interior! There's two floors to it, the kitchen/restaurant and the bar on the lower floor. The food was good! The pizza's dough was soft and not too hard. My favorite was the Funghi pizza with the mushrooms. I would recommend this one if you enjoy mushrooms as the taste is very flavorful. The drinks were also quite unique as well. They were quick to seat us and it wasn't very crowded when we went so we were able to get our food within a reasonable time. read more

A colleague and I had some time to kill before an event at the Hyatt, so we stopped into Bombo for a bite to eat. I ordered the Funghi pizza and the beet salad. I really liked the beets but the pizza was bland and left a lot to be desired. Red pepper flakes couldn't even bring the pizza to life. Service was polite and the ambiance was rather chill. I am happy to share that the restaurant was also very clean. I probably wouldn't return but it's worth a visit at least once. read more

I am writing this review as I sit here at the table for almost 15 minutes without a single waiter stopping at our table.

Went with my wife and daughter in the late afternoon. The layout is very nice with plenty of space for seating and all enclosed by large glass walls and a nice modern feel that's clean and subdued. There's also a cocktail lounge around the corner downstairs. This was a real treat for my wife and myself! We had so many food items. It's hard to remember all of them, but I will give it a try. We started with the beet salad with walnuts. We had focaccia with a garlic balsamic dressing. The Italian Grinder was excellent! The carpaccio with shaved fontina was awesome! Also had the Italian Sub salad. The Burrata had zucchini, pea shoots, pesto and sun dried tomatoes, loved it! Last but not least the Bombo Pizza with pepperoni, pecorino and hot honey glaze, also good. We had a couple of mocktails that were fantastic and delicious. The service was prompt and professional and no one rushed us in looking through the menu. We're from out of town so I may not be back for awhile, but will definitely go again when in town! I recommend! Taking pictures of the food felt uncouth, so I opted not to. read more

Looks like the service we received today is the standard based off of reading a few other recent reviews. We stopped in here for lunch and were mildly disappointed in the experience. As someone who's worked in the service industry, I completely understand what it's like to be slammed, but the way my friends and I were treated today was underwhelming to say at the least. The salad we split was good, but the pizza was burnt, and considering our waitresses lack of urgency (or desire to serve us at all) we didn't end up saying anything about it. Hoping it was just an off day for the woman who was supposed to be taking care of us. Won't be returning or recommending to anyone we know. read more

We had a good experience on a Tuesday before a paramount show. We made a reservation to be safe but it probably wasn't necessary. The decor was modern.

Overall I think it's a good option in the area or before a show and the portion sizes are very reasonable. read more

We wanted to have a nice dinner before theatre at the Paramount. Didn't want to spend a lot, saw Bombo Kitchen and looked up their reviews and menu. Decided to go there before the show. We ordered two appetizer salads, the beet and a Caesar to split as well as the buratta appetizer. They then informed me that the chicken parmigiana was unavailable. There were only three entrees listed. My wife was ordering the rigatoni, and I didn't want the linguini, so I punted and ordered the Bombo pizza, not realizing it was just a pepperoni pizza. We should ha walked when they didn't have the entree I wanted. Food was good, but the pizza oozed grease. My bad, I ordered it in a rush not realizing what it was. We didn't have reservations and walked in at 3:40pm. We were told they could seat us, but we had to be out by 5:00. Okay, but we waited for 20 minutes to order before we were noticed. I'm sure this is a hip place and gets lots of business as it's in the convention center. Bill was expensive with a 20% gratuity, and service was mediocre. We won't be back. read more

So thankful there are late night food options around the Seattle Convention Center. Our flight got in late and our hotel restaurant didn't have any dinner after 10PM. This is a cute place with a lively bar crowd on a Friday night and open doors with some welcome fresh air. We were greeted within a few minutes by the bartender who also served the tables. He was friendly and helpful. We ordered a super nice rose wine and got a much needed pitcher of water to start. The appetizers came out in short order and were all tasty but just lukewarm. We loved the meatballs in sauce and the mushroom arancini in sauce. The beet and goat cheese salad was a nice tangy offset to the hearty meatballs. They offer a late night bite menu but that was more than enough. We enjoyed our visit. read more

Maybe it is too new... Came during late happy hour early dinner, party of 3. Cocktails were good, can't really complain on Old Fashioned to be too sweet. Salame Piccante pizza had a bit kick to be interesting. Amusing that pizza was not cut into slices. They provided a pair of shears for your own cutting. I kind of like that. The Antipasto was quite nice, but the mozzarella was a bit spongy inside. Mushroom Arancini came in 5 or 6 balls, both were generous in terms of portion. Then we had Bombo pizza, upon recommendation from the waitress. It was a disappointment. Basically way too sweet in sauce. Gnocchi was a must-order. The portion as good and the rest were meh. Given the numerous Italian restaurants in this area, it faces tough competitions. read more
