This unbelievably beautiful Saturday was followed by an equally splendid Sunday. Always
always eager to eat, Lindsay, Virginia and I walked to Cole Valley and found ourselves at Bambino's around 11:30 am. Our experience can be summarized in one word: Divine!
I ordered a low-fat chai latte which came to me in the form of a low-fat latte. But no matter... it was still lovely to look at.
Instead of bread, we were presented with freshly-baked mini currant and lemon scones. I'm tough to please when it comes to scones... they can often be very dry and chalky, in which case I don't enjoy them. But these were some of the freshest, cutest, most-perfectly-moist scones I've ever had. And how unique! Props to Mr. Bambino.
When our meals arrived, mine looked a little something like this:
Smoked salmon, goat cheese, and green onion omelet with a side of greens. I was full about 3/4 of the way through, but I just had to finish it. It was so good! I also hadn't eaten much of anything until then, so it was in my best interest to eat the whole thing. (There's always some way to justify licking your plate clean!)
So peeps, the votes are in, and all are in favor of Bambino's! We fully enjoyed our experience and lingered to chat after our meal. The staff was super friendly, helpful, and looked happy to be there. Visually rustic Italian, the interior is accented with warm colors and soft natural light. Best of all, it was not crowded in the least. The low conversation floating over us from nearby tables and the clinking of plates in the kitchen just added to the authentic feel. We will absolutely be returning!
