    Back again after 3 months , I stumbled on the restaurant by mistake this time, didn’t recognise it at first as I entered from the main road instead of the side carpark. I had the same steak with roasted vedg and the meal was perfect. I have nothing else to add except you must try this place, if you are a meat lover. Excellent business lunch yesterday in Bambino’s grill, staff very attentive and lots of seating inside and out, all the meats are in a big display cabinet, I had a medium rare Flap meat steak (what ever that is) but was cooked exactly as I like it , and very tasty I didn’t leave anything, steaks came with grilled vedg I washed it down with 3 excellent coffees as I was driving, they had a great selection of beers. There is a carpark at the side holds about 13 cars and we got parked easily. I’m kicking myself as I didn’t take a photo of the steaks, I have included the bill as I usually do with some photos of the restaurant.

    Good thing is, you can see and select the .eat you want, before they cook it. Bad thing, they do not take credit cards. Another good thing is, the beers are really cold, but the place is hot. The sauces are good and fresh and they give you little toasts with sauces as a gift. The flavor is not the best, but its cool, i guess they should let the meat marinade a little bit more.

    The simplicity of this place is just amazing! It’s an open grilling area. Imagine going to a barbecue in an open lot with just great food. Unlike other restaurants, once you arrive you’ll have to proceed to the counter. Select your seasoned raw meat, sides and drinks. Then head to a table of your choice until they bring out your food. Coldest beers on earth! Lots of meat options, tostenes, friends and good beers. This is not the place for vegetarians! Lol! It takes a moment to get the food. But everything else is perfect with the places (tv with sports on, music really chill and relaxed setting) except for a rainy day because of the fact that it’s an open place in the lot of a hardware/electronic shop.

    Walk in and you see lots of seating options inside and out. Order your grilled foods and watch the TV or enjoy hanging with friends as many locals do.

    A very spacious place, different ambiances, the grill is ok, but not outstanding. Drinks are very good!. The policy of "we only sell group grills" if the clients are a large group, it is wrong.

    We came to BAMBINO’S GRILL for dinner and our experience was disappointing. It was a rainy night and the staff were all over the place. We walked in, we went up and down and around the rooms without anybody’s attention. The rain was leaking from the ceiling so all the empty seats were wet. Eventually, they helped us arrange a table. While we were ordering we were told that some menu items weren’t available; so, we decided to get an imported Parrillada for four. However, once served, our order wasn’t right. Allegedly, they ran out of other items and they just substituted them without asking us. Nobody was held accountable and no attempt to make amends was made, so we had to eat the food anyway. Fortunately, it was good enough but, not worth the trouble.

    Sat there for at least 10 minutes with no acknowledgment or service. Other diner outside was served a coffee and waitress just kept passing us, looking at us, and ignoring us 🤷🏽‍♀️

  • 1/5 Marinald H. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Ordered the mix plater( chicken, wings(half cooked ), ribs, pork chop, chorizo) with a side( choice of yuca, french fries or vegetables) and a passion fruit juice, after putting the order in starting my juice the waitress told me that the chorizo had to be charged extra because they removed from the portion, I didn't mind because I wanted to try it. In the end when I got the bill I was charged extra chorizo as I agreed , and french fries extra. When I told the waitress , she was stuttering that was a change they had done months ago. I didn't care much but if you are a turist I would suggest to avoid and go to a different restaurant down the street there are many more so don't get stuck there.

    Went for dinner in a large group and we all loved it. The restaurant was very spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor dinning spaces, the waiters were very polite and pleasant and most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. Service was also quite fast, we didn’t have to wait long to get our food.

  • 5/5 Borris 1 year ago on Google
    This is a family owned business with high quality fresh food cooked to order. This restaurant is must when visiting Santo Domingo. The current location is located in the National District. I believe Juan is breaking ground to open a location on the Conde. Get here!!!

  • 5/5 Franchesca Escoto P. 1 year ago on Google
    Close to Zona Colonial, good music and atmosphere, there's a TV, in it, they show recent sport games. Nice prices and food, the waitresses are really nice too. Fully recommended!

    The service was great and the food delicious. The environment is really good, the music was not loud so you can have a chat with people freely.

    If you are looking for a comedor, this is a fantastic place. I was surprised how well they cook the meat and the grilled veggies are super nice.

  • 4/5 Robert 1 year ago on Google
    Understandingly, the place was busy but my complaint is not how long it took for our order to reach our table. Yes, the order took super long, but we watched as 3 other tables that people arrived after us were getting their orders/food before us. Our food was somewhat on the cold side with sausages being dry and overcooked. Not the best meal but perhaps I dined when they were understaffed and had too many clients.

  • 4/5 Justin M. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent grilled food with decent prices. Service is quite slow, and a guy behind the counter seemed a bit impatient with me because I don't speak any Spanish. Food is worth it though!

  • 4/5 Marvin C. 2 years ago on Google
    When I receive a burger where the vegetable are on top of the meat and the bottom bun don't become soggy I'll give. 5star

👍👍 The venue is very cute, the view on the ocean is spectacular. The staff was super friendly this day. The food was really good and arrived extremely fast. I had Mofongo (So delicious) and Sancocho (very good)! The only pros was the dessert.
