Took too long to write a review and now they’re closed! I’ll make this quick and simple in case they open another location. Came in with two other Unilocalers and we ordered all kinds of stuff, but not a pie ironically. The garlic knots were really good! Tried some of the meatball sub and enjoyed it. Pretty solid. The leftover half of the Italian sub I had was solid; seems like a typical Jersey Mike’s sub. Nothing all too special. My spinach and ricotta calzone was overcooked and too dry on the exterior, but too greasy on the inside. Only ate half. Thought service was pretty good, even though she had annoyed one of the Unilocalers I was eating with, because she forgot to bring out extra dipping sauces. She redeemed herself later in the meal by continuing to smile and serve us well. I’d go check out another location if they opened one up to try their pies, since some of the things here were pretty decent.

Great service, great food, reasonable prices. If you are looking for a casual sit down Italian restaurant, this is the place!

Upon entrance floors filthy grimy, place is dead on Sunday lunch, TV will give you a neck injury when watching, food is ok(hard to mess up pizza) bathrooms dirty, service is ok… doors wide open with flies flying everywhere, and best of Las Vegas signs everywhere just in case you were wondering…

Check for Unilocal coupon! Food was delish and I loved the atmosphere. We shared an Italian sub and a pizza. Pizza was cooked the way it was meant to be. Crisp crust and not running with grease. Our server was on it and very friendly. Can’t wait to go back!

Came here with my sister and her boyfriend on Sunday, 8÷3÷14. So, I’ve heard the garlic knots here are the best ever… That they ARE!!! Soft, Garlicy, and Buttery. I ordered Penne w/Chicken in Vodka Sauce — LARGEPORTIONS!!! I also, ordered a 10″ Spinach Pizza. Crust is good. Crispy & Thin. I was a little disappointed that they didn’t use fresh mushrooms and spinach. One can tell if mushrooms are canned or spinach is coming out of a box. It was tasty enough to eat though. My sister had the spaghetti in meat sauce — Large Portions again! Very tasty — Sauce has a unique taste. Not a bad thing — Just different. I’ll come again and try a different pizza, but will definitely be coming back for the KNOTS!

Blehh tastes like wayyy over priced microwave pizza! Bland! Weird cheese. The only reason we got food from here is because Sofia’s best was closed. Sofia’s is 100 times better and for half the price. I will never go back to bambinis just because the food tastes like crap. I would rather have little Caesars than this place

Loved it here. Décor is cute and inviting. Our waitress was attentive and we got so comfortable that we didn’t realize two hours had passed. Each booth has a small television and it was nice to have pizza and watch ESPN at the same time. Food was good. We will return.

I came in for a private event in their banquet area. The staff was very attentive and patient with our large group. I will echo what other Unilocal-ers have said, you definitely have to try the garlic knots, they’re delicious. I had some pepperoni pizza which was tasty but didn’t knock my socks off. The cannoli was also very good, I inhaled it. The banquet space was ample although I noticed that the room we were in was considerably warmer than the rest of the restaurant. I was sweating a bit and several others commented on the warmth. Other than that it was a great experience!

Went here last night after my son’s practice. The ambiance is great. It definitely had a pizza place setting and atmosphere. They also have a small TV at each booth so you can watch what you want to watch while eating. We received 6 free garlic knots for checking in on Unilocal,and we weren’t disappointed. The knots were very good, but the marinara sauce wasn’t anything special to me. We ordered a half cheese/half sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, & olive. They certainly didn’t skimp on the toppings; they were piled on top of each other. I just felt like I was looking at a DiGiorno Pizza when they brought it out though. The pizza itself was decent. Better than your crummy franchise places, but certainly not as good as a Rosati’s or Villa. The cheese was good; but again, the sauce wasn’t anything memorable. The veggies and meat were fresh to me. All in all, I had no issues with it. The service was fine; our waiter checked in us repeatedly. The rest of the family enjoyed it. So while I feel 3 stars is good, I’ll bump to 4 considering my family’s opinion. We’ll certainly make it back.

I’ve had different wait staff experiences to include a very very attentive and concerned waitress as well as a waiter that made us feel like we were bothering him by being there. I’ve also felt as if the main dining room is where all the action and attentiveness is focused(I love sitting in there) and the back rooms are more forgotten about and not as cozy. Overall I love love love their food. The chicken parmigiana is phenomenal, spaghetti is amazing and their pizza is to die for. The garlic knots are a must to start with. Everything is fresh and doesn’t have that«sitting in a warmer» taste. Kids can make their own pizza to feel all important… there are mini tvs on some of the tables and the best part is a great selection of wonderfully priced beers, wines, and even wine coolers! I had family in town this week and they really enjoyed the food.(Unfortunately not the waiter or service) this won’t discourage me from going there again. I will request the main dining area though. This place is a cute little date night type of Italian restaurant. Enjoy!

YES!!! What a place. This reminds me of my favorite places in the NJ, NY, & Philly areas. It’s authentic in that they make really good food, every staff member is exceedingly personable, and the set up is fun. This was our first stop in after driving by so many times. We ordered a chicken parm and a cheesesteak and shared. Very satisfied! Price — Reasonable Quality — Very good Service — OUTSTANDING

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but I’m rating on overall experience and not just the food. We arrived around 6pm and to our surprise we were seated right away. I knew immediately I was going to enjoy this place just from the aroma! Everything smelt so delicious. The garlic knots were fabulous my only compliant was the marinara sauce was a bit watery for my liking. I ordered the anti pasta salad which wasn’t anything to write home about. It had a strong olive flavor.(Avoid it) My husband ordered the chicken parmesan sub and I had the tortellini with vodka sauce. My husband is super picky on trying new places and he loved his meal which was a shock! I was hesitant on ordering a 16 dollar pasta dish but it was OUTOFTHISWORLDGOOD! The cheese inside had amazing flavor and they were hand rolled tortellini! They had complimentary fresh bread, also amazing. The only negative to this place that hindering it from a 5 star rating is the service. The waitress was friendly but slow to return to the table. The restaurant seemed short staffed. We had to ask for refills and boxes as she was not attentive enough to notice. Another plus is military discount! Definitely a must try :-)

The cashier, who’s name is Angel stole $ 8 from me. I placed a togo order on Tues. Nov. 52013 at exactly 6:00PM from a server named Angel, this is according to my receipt that also shows a charge of $ 30.25 that was paid using my debit bank card, but after checking my bank statements today I noticed a charge for $ 38.25 to my bank card from bamstealurmoni! Now to be fair, I have not yet confronted Angel, or his manager about this overcharge to my account as of yet, normally in a situation like this I would wait until after the problem was resolved, giving the establishment time to investigate, and offer a resolution before I would start publicly accusing them of being thieves, and make no mistakes about it, that is what I’m doing, I am accusing Bambinis of being a shady, dishonest, untrustworthy, thieving, dirty, disgusting grease pit hole in the wall solely based on the employee’s they choose to represent them, but the reason I am sounding off now is because Angel was a total jerk from the get go! This guy has a serious attitude problem! Sorry, but I don’t tip somebody $ 8 for taking an order, I would however tip if he served me, even if he was still the snot nose little prick that he is, I would still reward him for his efforts, assuming he wasn’t thief of course! Tomorrow after they open for business, I will inform them of this crime, and I promise to either update this review, or remove it based on the outcome, but unfortunately they have lost me as a customer, I believe in supporting locally run businesses, and many times I have recommended this place which I now regret, the I.A.P. who now hold there monthly meetings at this place being one of them, I am not looking forward to telling them how wrong I was! Maybe this is just an isolated incident, and this is just on bad employee giving the whole establishment a bad name, we will just have to wait a see, like I said, I will follow up on this review, and if in a week from now Angel is still employed here being allowed to steal from their loyal, hard working unsuspecting customers, then we will know just what kind of place this really is, but if he is dismissed from his duties of representing this company as being petty little crooks I will have no other choice but to spread the word far and wide warning people of this scam, I have many outlets to voice my concerns, I am very involved in the community, and very rarely do I speak ill of an small business working hard to make it. but when you steal from me I get angry. I have no tolerance for scam artists in my town! That is all for now, but I will keep everyone posted. Thank you. *first update, when I posted this review a few minutes ago, a picture came up with it, a picture that I posted some time ago which I have forgotten about! When I see a business on Unilocal that does not have a picture, and I support the business, I will post a picture for them to help advertise, I’m only pointing this out to illustrate how hurt, betrayed, and utterly sickened by what was done to me, for a measly $ 8 they lost a loyal customer, and now have their reputation at risk.

I eat here if not every week, every other week. The owner takes great pride in putting out great food. I have eaten pretty much everything on the menu and never had a bad meal. I never leave hungry either. The portions here are very generous. Inside is clean and there are tables or booths. They have a couple huge banquet areas too if you want to host an event here. This week I ordered my usual Italian sub as well shared an Italian antipasto with my wife. The sub is just good. you can get it hot or cold. The sandwich has lettuce, tomatoes, onions, banana peppers, ham, salami, cappicollo, provolone & oil and vinegar. I have them put the oil and vinegar on the side since I have mayo added just make sure things don’t slide around and I can add the amount I want. The salad was generous for being the small order. Very good and fresh. The shared sandwich and salad really hit the spot. The pizza is what you really should try first here. The deep dish is the best. When you order stuff like pizza or pasta it does take a while because it is made from scratch. Order some garlic knots while you wait because they are the best in town. There is a make your own pizza station for the kids. Bambini’s is closed Monday’s.

FUCK. THIS. PLACE. FUCKEM This is the worst pizza place in this city I have ever been to, and let me explain whyyyy: First off, I’ve never been here before, but it was the closest pizza place that I came across on my way back from Nellis AFB to a friends house, and I wanted to surprise her with pizza. I walk in and place a takeout order for a large Margarita pizza. Simple enough right? No. No apparently this is the hardest fucking thing for a chef to accomplish, cause I wait 30 minutes before the guy at the front hands me a small box. What the hell is this? I ask. This is a small pizza box, I ordered a large. Indeed, they messed that up. But I understand mistakes are made sometimes, so I don’t throw a bitch fit and the guy at the front apologizes, replaces the order, and offers me a complimentary scoop of gelato. Great, a cup of icecream for waiting an hour for a fucking pizza, seems legit to me! So I wait for another 20 minutes, and the cashier rushes back to me with my large pizza. I understand it’s not his fault, but the fault of the incompetent chef in the back, so I graciously accept the pizza and leave. Phew! Glad that’s over! So I get inside my car, and set the pizza in the passangers seat, I think to myself, gee, I should probably check the pizza to make sure it’s the right kind. Cause chances are that chef is a moron. This is what I open up to: EDIT:So funny, I had a link to the picture, but apparently the company, or some grouchy loyal customer complained and Unilocal took it down, but fear not my friends, it’s all over facebook. I get a fucking pizza soup. Great. Just great. With an hour of my time wasted, I’m literally pulling my hair and way too pissed off to go back in there and complain, cause I probably would of threw this shit in the chefs face. This shit wasn’t even cooked all the fucking way. What if me, my friend, and her little sister got sick from it? I try my best to go to local pizza shops here in town, but it’s fucking places like these that make people stick to the corporate chain pizza places. Atleast they know how to cook a fucking pizza all the way through. This place needs to fire their dumbass ass chef and get a new one before they go out of business. Complete horseshit!

I was driving down Craig(HUNGRY) and noticed flashing lights. When I realized this place was the same one that had put flyers on my door twice this week, I decided to give it a try. There were people all around the front entrance. I wasn’t sure what was actually going on but a guy approached us and directed us to a booth at the end of the kitchen, also close by the station where kids make their own pizzas. Our waiter greeted us after a couple of minutes and offered cartoons. Yes, cartoons. The booths had a small tv mounted above the tables. Very convenient! Who doesn’t want to watch sponge bob while eating. No, seriously it was nice to have a distraction for the kiddies. When we first entered, a tray of garlic knots in the kitchen caught my attention. We opted for the half dozen as an appetizer and they were great! Perfect temperature. Perfect flavor. Just perfect! As mentioned in another review, when I noticed they served Heroes and not subs, I was sold. The husband settled on the pepperoni and meatball stromboli. I finally decided on the chicken parm hero and the kiddies had the child’s portion of spaghetti. My biggest complaint is that they don’t have«kids menu» but only a kids make your own pizza. When asked, our server told us that they could do kid portions of certain pastas. Our food took a while to come out. Which, considering how busy they were and how fresh the food was, we didn’t mind the wait. My hero was, well AMAZING! The chicken was tender and juicy. The sauce was tasty and the mozzarella cheese was perfectly melted. The hero was huge and well worth the $ 9. The stromboli was very tasty. No complaints about any of our food. The only problem was we were very close to the kid’s pizza making station and the entrance to the kitchen. There was a heavy flow of traffic and people standing close to our table, which I’m not a fan of. But the service and food made up for my little complaint of heavy traffic. I will be back to visit. Next time I’ll save room for the gelato and cheesecake.

This is the best Italian eatery since Metro Pizza! The garlic knots are by far the best I have had since I was a little kid. I eat here on a regular basis and it really says something about the place when you see the same employees each time who seem to genuinely love working there. They always give me an honest opinion when I ask about a menu item which I truly appreciate. I always have a hard time deciding what to order it is ALL good! I live in Summerlin and make the drive over here just for Bambini’s! The baked stuffed shells are simply to die for. The ricotta is spot on! I had it on a recent visit a couple days ago and really liked it. The subs are full of flavor and they do not skimp on what they put on them If you are going for a sub I would recommend the«Our Famous Sub» it is just great! I like it both hot or cold it just depends on my mood. I do like mayo on it so I ask if I am getting it to-go for the mayo, oil & vinegar on the side so I can put it on myself. It it just easier that way so you don’t have a sloppy mess by the time you get home. Ok, the pizza is the true *star* here. I have had the«white pizza» and again with the ricotta being so spot on it is just a win win. If you are looking to share a pizza with others at your table I recommend the«mixed cold cuts pizza» it is THE best item on the menu. They have an area where kids can make there own mini pizzas. I have even seen schools bring there kids in to do it. There are TV’s everywhere usually playing sports. If you wanted to host a large party they have 2 nice sized banquet rooms just for that. You can dine inside or outside on the beautiful patio. If you want to phone your order in for pick up that is as well an option. They have a nice case as you walk in of yummy desserts. On the door I have seen a sign requesting you not bring your own drinks inside. I would never think to bring my own drink to a restaurant I am going to sit down and eat at but apparently they have a problem so I wouldn’t recommend bringing your own drinks. They are not open Monday’s.
