This was the most amazing food I've had. These people are definitely Italian. You can tell because of the flavors in the food. The service is always so kind and the ambience is great. I love their pasta here. It has so much flavor sauce and pasta. It's so good. This is why I give this space five stars if I could I'd give it seven. read more

IL Bambino - The biggest cannoli ever - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

I've been watching the Sopranos non-stop since April of this year, and on a long binge day all I want is a huge comfort plate of Italian food. Queue my cravings last week for chicken parm. While I have never been to il Bambino, my good friend goes weekly and raves about this solid neighborhood spot. I can see why! My delivery chicken parm was absolutely huge. I was able to make three meals out of this serving for just $25. I opted for a side of spaghetti with red sauce, but was told the power move is to get it with pink sauce. Noted for next time, which there definitely will be since I loved this meal. This spot has been open since 1989, similar to another local landmark (Tropical Chinese and Sushi Ko) in the same plaza. I love to see a plaza with three spots that have been open since I was born, serving food the community continues to love decades later. read more

IL Bambino - Chicken parm takeout with angel hair - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Place has been renovated and looks nice. Service needs some training as we ordered our pasta with red sauce and it was obvious that she did not understand because our order was incorrect. The food was good. The complementary bread with parmesan could be toasted better. The pumpkin cream soup was very good. They finally offer spaghetti pasta in the menu! The Chicken Francese was generous and tasty. Glad of the improvement since the last visit in 2022. Looking forward to return. read more

I love this restaurant ! Food is amazing and service and ambience is nice. Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp added was fantastic. My 5yo loved since it didn't have black pepper. Gnocchi w pink sauce was great. The chicken Parm was great as well. Let my hands down favorite is the Fiocchi and salmon piccata read more

The food , the service , amazing , LOVE this place !!! This is my favorite weekend spot to go to !!

Best food and the service is excellent, the ambiance is very nice.. even if you're not staying to eat just picking up they make you feel part of the family... highly recommended read more

Il Bambino is a true neighborhood gem. I ordered the veal piccata with angel hair pasta, and it was absolutely delicious--the veal was tender, the lemon-caper sauce was perfectly balanced, and the pasta was light and cooked just right. For dessert, the limoncello cheesecake is incredible: creamy, refreshing, and the perfect ending to the meal. We dine here regularly and what always elevates the experience is our waitress, Dayana. She is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Her recommendations are always spot-on, and she always makes us feel taken care of without ever rushing us. Service like hers is what makes us want to come back all the time. read more

My family and I have been dining at IL Bambino since 1996 - to the date, always a delicious meal, always on point. Thank you!

This restaurant is one of my favorites the food is great. And the service is even better. This restaurant looks like a casual Italian diner. In all I think this restaurant is great. read more

This is a hidden gem in the wall that has the best pasta I've ever tasted. Whether you're dining in or ordering out, the food quality is the same. Fresh, absolutely delish, and always wanting to go back for more. If you dine in, they often have live music, and the restaurant is packed but service is never lacking. We sometimes order takeout, and the order is always right, packaged well, and ready on time. read more

excellent food choices. excellent desserts including the cafe cappuccino. Kitchen is very accommodating and staff is friendly. Jose is wonderful and the magician of the cappuccino. It's a family restaurant with friendly folks. read more

The food is delicious with great Italian seasoning and flavors. The service is very friendly and efficient and the place is very cozy. They even have live music to entertain while enjoying a great meal. Overall a very pleasant surprise to find a little Italian place in Westchester. read more

The best Italian snapper francese with pasta (Alfredo) I've had in a long time. Great portion, light, delicate and perfect every time. Oh, do not miss their cappuccino ! It is made consistently perfect every time -- no need to add anything to it at all ! I haven't tried anything else so cant give opinion. read more

Great Italian restaurant on Bird Road. Went here for the first time for a friend's birthday. The ambience is great, the survive is superb and the food is delicious. The onion soup her is really big and super delicious. I ordered the chicken Marsala which was divine. My husband ordered the chicken cordon bleu and loved it. We will be coming back for sure. Go and give them a try and let me know what you think... read more

I've eaten here a few times and the food never disappoints. My absolute favorite is their lasagna, it's so creamy and flavorful! I have yet to try the chicken lasagna but that's next on my list. Their chicken parm is also delicious and the perfect size. read more

I stopped here for lunch before my dentist appointment, since it's in the same shopping plaza. Since I wasn't really hungry - and what I was facing a few doors down - I just ordered water, minestrone and their meatball appetizer. My waiter did tempt me into a limoncello for a sweet bite. It's definitely a neighborhood restaurant / family restaurant vibe, with sappy 80s songs (think Air Supply) as the soundtrack. No bells and whistles, but relaxed attentiveness. My waiter came by and checked a couple of times, and accommodated service with the fact that I had to rush out to their neighbor the dentist. The meatballs I enjoyed were tender, juicy and with a generous helping of marinara sauce as well as a sprinkling of basil and powdered mozzarella. My minestrone soup was a light, nicely seasoned broth with a good amount of veggies. Drizzled with a berry compote, the limoncello cake was slightly jiggly and a pleasant sweetness. read more

Amazing true and authentic Italian food! Always made to order and fresh! Plenty of parking.

Celebrated a birthday this past week and everything was amazing. The fettuccine Alfredo, garlic bread and tiramisu were delicious. My family and I enjoyed this restaurant as first timers and the service was exceptional from beginning to end. Definitely recommend! read more

We've been coming to this place for many years as well as order takeout. It's a hit or miss type place because if you walk in and it's full the service will be terrible. We try to make it before 7pm for dinner. Minestrone soup is always very tasty although I've had my share of cold soups but tonight's was perfect. The salmon with olive oil linguine is usually my order and I feel that it's gotten tasteless this year. My oldest had the chicken parm with penne pink pasta, she loved it! She said it was perfect today just the way she likes it without a gallon of red sauce on the chicken. My husband tried the blackened snapper and it was over seasoned. Just the blackened seasoning over the fish. For dessert my family enjoyed the chocolate cake. Unfortunately I wasn't able to capture pictures of any other food than the soup bc we just dug in as soon as the plates hit our table. Staff is always very nice and welcoming, greeting you as soon as you walking the door. It's a family friendly restaurant. read more

IL Bambino - Minestrone - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Food was (mostly) fantastic - service was slow. We absolutely loved the caprese salad. The cheese and tomatoes were extremely fresh. The bread that they brought out as an appetizer was cold and it was very evident they didn't put the bread in the oven so it tasted terrible. I ordered the bolognese which was a HUGE portion for one person and definitely enough for leftovers or to split. The rest of my party ate meatballs and the lasagna which were really good according to everyone. The chocolate cake was very rich but was great. The biggest downfall of the restaurant was the service. It was painfully slow. Although we were seated immediately, it was downhill from there. The waiter kept forgetting to bring water for us, forgot to bring small plates, forgot utensils, forgot about us for long periods of time. We had to keep reminding him to bring us things we had repeatedly asked for. At one point, my dad couldn't even eat his lasagna for at least 10 minutes because the utensils were never brought and he eventually got up and requested them from a different employee. Had the food not been great, I'd be giving this one star. If you decide to come here, pack your patience. read more

The food is tasty. The sauce is also tasty not tangy. The ravioli stuffed with ricotta is also good. I also learned that the pasta is bought from Italy. The service is prompt. The ambiance is nice quaint. The restaurant is hidden in a strip mall. Worth the trip. Note to the restaurant: I would play classic Italian and Italian American pop music. Not modern pop. That is the only downfall. read more

We just celebrated my daughter's birthday this past Saturday April the 12th with a luncheon at Il Bambino for 30 people. What a nice and pleasurable experience! From the moment I first considered having it at Il Bambino until the end of the party José was there to guide and help me with all the details. He helped me select three choices to offer as appetizers and as the main entrée based on their most popular dishes, showed me some "party menus" previously prepared in other events to give me some ideas, and made recommendations as to what would be more cost efficient regarding the beverages. In sum, José took care of everything before and during the party and made this an easy and enjoyable celebration for all. Our guests were very pleased with the food, the service and the atmosphere. Kudos to José and Il Bambino. read more

Cute, cozy little Italian restaurant. You can tell from the conversation between employees and guests that this restaurant has many regulars (which to me is always a good sign). I went for an early dinner on a random Thursday night and there was a decent crowd inside but not overly crowded. I ordered the veal francese with Alfredo linguini. The bread before the food was delicious! Portions were great and the food was pretty good. The taste is somewhere between fast Italian and authentic Italian, if that makes any sense. I wouldn't mind coming back again for a midweek dinner. read more

My coworker showed me this place during our lunch through door dash. Can I just say this is one of my FAVORITE spots for pasta? I got it today again for lunch because it's so darn good. You can build your own pasta as well which is pretty cool due to some people being picky eaters. I always get the chicken cabnora with fettuccine and the service is so quick and prompt to attention. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for a few years now and have always been extremely pleased. Was just there last Saturday for a birthday lunch party with a very big group and again I have only good things to say about everything. The food is delicious and abundant. Jose and the rest of the employees bend backwards to accomodate everyone's needs and wishes and watch that you have a good supply of the delicious garlic bread at all times Same with the drinks. A five stars restaurant!!! read more

Over priced pasta, terrible service. We were charged $22 for a plate of pasta with oil and parmesan and when we asked why they said we created our own plate. First and last time at this place read more

The food is amazing, I've tried many Italian restaurants before but I believe this is the best one so far. I'm always recommending it to friends and family and they all love it as well. There's also never been a time when the service was bad, plus the ambience is relaxing, peaceful and intimate. I really recommend this restaurant if you're trying to have a good time and enjoy a nice meal. read more

Spectacular and very economic experience. Food quality was great as well as service. Ahhh and the guitar player was excellent. Very nice ambiance...just a little too cold, but changed when asked. Cat wait to visitar again. read more

This place is delicious! They must have new owners/chef. I had not been in years, but now we go like once a month. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and it's pleasant. Live music is a little loud for my taste. But overall yummy little place for delicious Italian food. read more

The food was great and the dessert. I came in with my 3 friends. One of my friends had a red snapper with linguine and glass of red wine. Two of friends had a beef lasagna and I had a chicken lasagna. The food was great. The waiter that serve us was very nice and they bought us garlic and parmesan bread. For dessert I had the tiramisu. It was delicious definitely coming back. read more

We found the food to be mediocre , the service was excellent . The sangria was outstanding. The quality of the food is just not there. It's OK for the price. It's a neighborhood local restaurant, I would not drive out of the way to go there. The ambience was pleasant and inviting. I am giving four stars due to the excellent service that we received . read more

Blind price menu. What you see online IS NOT WHAT YOUR BILL WILL BE LIKE. waitresses hovering over us I felt rushed. Not at all a good experience. The food does not warrant the high prices. Don't go there. read more

Service was not that great here. The waiter never came back to see if we needed anything. No offer to refill drinks. He avoided eye contact the whole time. The food was lacking salt. All three of us agreed. Known of the pasta had much flavor. The chicken was good. But that was basically it. I would not return. read more

Great clean place. The food is great. Has tradition and modern Italian. The lasagnas are great. Both the meat and the vegetable one have a homemade taste. Delicious. Service is great especially great for large parties. You can plan in advance and have a limited personal menu for large parties. Fantastic experience. read more

Ok enough Italian food for take out. Ordered the chicken Francese and it was ok. It's always hard to tell with take-away to be honest and fair. The meal overall was filling and did it job. I won't be in a hurry to repeat this experience. read more

I visited Il Bambino today and it was fabulous. It had declined in quality a while ago but under this new owner the food is A+. I had the Salmon croquettes and beef lasagna- absolutely divine! I am going to be a regular especially when they have live music on Wed and Thursdays. Keep up the quality food and service read more

Home cooked excellence! This is the best Italian in town. I'll Bambino is one of my favorite Italian restaurants around. The location is small, but it's homey and the servers make you feel like family. This place has an amazing lasagna, the spaghetti and meatballs are out of this world, and the Tiramisu is so creamy and well balanced. I love the food it's excellent. Great place for a first date, family gathering, or just an Italian night. read more
