    I could not rate this place high enough. As soon as we walked in the door last night, we felt so welcome. The customer service was exceptional. For entree we had the gnocchi (not pictured) and then for our mains we shared the penne ragout, cannelloni, and pollo pesto pizza. EVERYTHING was 11/10. The flavour was amazing. The pizza is definitely the best pizza we’ve ever tried. There was entertainment as well and the singer’s voices were beautiful. Thank you for such a wonderful night. We will definitely be back.

    Food was just average, nothing special. Better off eating at home and going down for a drink and listen to the music. Entertainment was enjoyable and the only memorable item of the entire evening.

    We dropped on without a reservation on Saturday night. The staff were very helpful and managed to fit us in. And we weren't to be disappointed- our entrees, mains and dessert were All superb as was the service and all at a reasonable price. Needless to say we will return.

    Nice local restaurant with live music. Perfect spot to bring a date. We ordered a pasta, slow cook beef, pizza and of course tiramisu. The waiter remembered us the pasta and it was refreshing with the chilli, beef was soft but honestly a bit bland, and pizza was awesome. After all it was a great experience!!

    Service , food, ambience were all amazing. And the singer was world class. Brought friends from Melbourne and we all had a great time. The busy restaurant is evidence to the success. Try the cocktails also , very good 👍

    What amazing staff. Just beautifully friendly. It was the perfect evening. Great food and the entertainment was exactly what I had hoped for. Not too loud to enable conversation over dinner. Intimate setting and lots of laughs as the night went on. Aleesia the singer. I could have sat and listened for hours along with the bonus accompaniment of ‘Max’ on his Cello. Apologies if I didn’t get the names exactly right. 😊

    Great atmosphere, lovely food. Female singer is amazing. Later in the night Max played his Cello as well. While Shane the waiter can boogey really well. Group of us girls had a fabulous time, dancing In between the tables.

    Such a fun experience, great dinner with friends, serious entertainment factor. Ellisa - or Lisa the singer was absolutely amazing, Her voice and talent was amazing, interacted with everyone there, sang songs on the spot that she had never done. We were having such a good time that we stayed much longer than planned z Such a fun night, thank you bambino’s….

    Had the opportunity of dining in at Bambino Ristorante and can confirm it ticked a lot of boxes. From the outside aesthetics to the inside ambience, this place was more than amazing from start to finish. Max, the owner was down to earth, friendly and always willing to be of service throughout the duration of my dine. Food was amazing. Great flavours with a delicate touch of Italy meets Australia. All round it was amazing, the smell, the presentation and the service. Not to mention, there was live music from a local named Lani, who showcased a lot of groovy, into it, vibey songs that made the atmosphere change in an instance. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a date night, or if you need something to set your mood straight because Bambino is the place to be. Love it!!!

    I’m not the one that normally write a Google review on businesses pages because I think most of them are out of spite. Food here is delicious and they clearly had a work event for a company today that they were catering for, but with that being said I work six days a week and I’m a sales business manager and I still know how to handle customer service better than how they did today. Ordered food at 5:10. Told it would be ready by 5:30 get to the restaurant to be told that I would be grabbed once food is ready. I was sitting out of the restaurant for 40 minutes, not dressed properly to be sitting out the front of the restaurant for 40 minutes with no updates or apologies, and the only reason they realised I was still waiting for my order is because I walked up to the kitchen, asking what was going on again. The most frustrating part is now I have had to miss my doctors appointment.

    Was an amazing restaurant. Food was amazing and the staff were absolutely fantastic. Overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend. The signed they had doing love music has the most incredible voice and her energy lightens up the room

  • 5/5 Grethe Van W. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was so good but the best part was the live performer Lani! She was incredible, a few songs sounded like they were they were playing over the radio! We’re from out of town but would definitely be regulars if we were local

  • 5/5 Rebecca S. 1 year ago on Google
    We were looking for a family friendly restaurant with atmosphere and good food to celebrate our sons birthday..Well Bambinos ticked all those boxes. We had a wonderful time, the singer was AMAZING and very entertaining, and the food was fantastic.. we laughed all through the night. We can’t wait to go back

  • 3/5 Narelle G. 11 months ago on Google
    The staff are very pleasant, the food was nice, although I felt a tiny bit overpriced for the serving sizes, the atmosphere could have been enjoyable except for the very loud and awful singing, which was relentless during the entire visit. Even with 45 decibel earplugs in, it was loud, and made it difficult to talk to each other across our table. Not sure we'd visit again as don't think we could endure the "entertainment".

    We stumbled upon this restaurant very randomly for our family of 7 including 2&3 year old. Upon arriving with a toddler needing the toilet very quickly without a table first, Max greeted us very warmly with smiles and was super accommodating. The whole night he never judged us and never stopped checking in on us and giving us anything less than too notch first class service. There was a live singer by a beautiful lady that night and we had the whole restaurant to ourselves and the boys absolutely loved the music and singing and especially the food ! And Max surprised us with his cello too. Seriously great work to the team and especially to Max. Such a very pleasant surprise and it was very nice to meet you and that you are from Taiwan! We will be back for sure. We need more people like Max

    What an amazing hidden gem on the Gold Coast. Lovely italian food with great music entertainment. Pizza and pasta were very tasty but the dessert platter was the best !

  • 5/5 toshi p. 10 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere is very vibrant and welcoming. The food is amazing with great service, and a nice range selection of beverages. Arancini is a great entree and a must order along with the gnocchi. We picked a few mains but the MUST TRY is the NICE CHEEK. 100% Recommend! The popcorn cocktail is very interesting and unique concept. The live entertainment enhances the dinning experience 100% better. Overall the experience is good and will definitely come back! Max was very professional, welcoming and entertaining. Will definitely come back!

    This place, will now be our regular . What an amazing warm, fun restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious as was the entertainment and service. It's definitely one of the Gold coasts gems.

  • 5/5 Hannah MacPherson #. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food!!! Service is wonderful as is the entertainment. I have dietary requirements (Vegan) and always feel anxious about asking for anything off menu but the waitor said the chef would whip something up no problem and it was DELICIOUS 💕 The online booking was super easy and I wrote that it was my Mother's birthday. Without asking, they brought dessert out with sparklers singing. The whole place joined in, such a great atmosphere. Will definitely be back!!

    One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in a long time, so delighted to have found it. The guy serving us was great and went out of his way to accommodate us. Food was so amazing, everything was really good and obviously made with love! Best carbonara and most amazing gnocchi Gorgonzola.

  • 5/5 Mark B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was amazing. We took our family there and we all had incredible reviews. We are staying In Queensland from Victoria and went here because we thought it looked nice, boy did we make the right decision. The gnocchi was divine, the lasagna was delicious. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful, the owners were lovely people and very nice. My son got a garlic pizza that he wasn’t all to fond of. The live music was nice and relaxing. There was a man outside all night greeting the people entering the restaurant and even just people walking past. Overall I would say we had a great night with wonderful food and staff. I would definitely recommend and I would most likely go back if we didn’t live so far away from the restaurant

    The best place to be with friends we had so much fun upstairs singing & dancing. Great staff and the singing was magical. Nothing was an effort. Food very tasty. Go and have fun.

    What a great evening from the time we arrived to the the time we left. The staff could not do enough for us. The food was outstanding. Glad we found the best Italian restaurant on the coast. Looking forward to the next time. Thanks again🙏🍻🥂

  • 5/5 Rebekah R. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fabulous place, great Italian food and live music (the staff can sing) where the audience is encouraged to join in and dance. Ask for the top floor. Will def be going back. So glad to be able to dance again (thanks covid)

  • 5/5 Renny J. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing is an understatement. We visited Bambino on a Wednesday and were pleasantly surprised to see that live entertainment was included. The singer was fantastic and had a great time entertaining the small crowd. We tried several dishes for entrée, main and dessert, and every single one was outstanding. The meals even impressed our hardest to please friend. I would highly recommend the garlic pizza and gnocchi. Bambino's take on these dishes were divine. The service was impeccable, vibe great and accessibility regarding the location excellent. Days later we are still raving about this place and cannot wait to return!

    After unsuccessfully trying to order takeaway for our NY Eve + anniversary dinner from another local establishment we tried Bambino's... So glad we did! From the get-go this restaurant and its (owners?/staff) were simply delightful and extremely accommodating. We were able to place our order for pickup well in advance without any hassles. Our order was ready on time, brought out to our car by a lovely gentleman along with a complimentary bottle of wine! The food was absolutely delicious and we'll definitely be ordering again in the future. Such genuinely lovely people running a gem of a restaurant. Thanks so much for ensuring our night was a special one. All the best to you for the year ahead!

    What an amazing find! We were originally booked at another restaurant, which unfortunately cancelled. However we couldn't have picked a better alternative! Food was great, service fantastic and the music was sublime, including the small interlude from Max on the cello. What a great night, will definitely be back.
