Eh, not the best but it'll do - Edit
To clarify, if you are vegetarian this place would easily be 4.5 stars. I loved eating here as a vegetarian. In particular, I would scarf down buttered bread with garlic and have fettuccine alfredo, and I'd always get dessert here too. But as a vegan, the one dish that is vegan is subpar and I could easily make it at home. It's not worth a trip over.
Read morePros: Ambience, Good portions
Cons: The one vegan dish leaves a lot to be desired, Needs more vegan options

Not many vegan options - Edit
They only have one vegan pasta dish that is just so-so. But they do have several good vegetarian dishes

Eh.. it was ok - Edit
The only vegan dish listed on the Bambinos Cafe menu is the sorella pasta. It tasted healthy - whole wheat pasta, lots of veggies in a tomato broth. It was filling but it wasn't amazing. It was...ok. I had to add quite a bit of red pepper flakes to it. My boyfriend ordered a pizza with no cheese. The pizzas are small. All in all, it was an okay experience. The service was good but no rush for me to return here unless they have more vegan options.

Poor quality and falsely advertised - Edit
I would encourage those that are health conscious, vegetarians, and/or vegan not to eat here. The ingredients are very poor quality, lots of frozen and discolored vegetables, and suggestions by the employees (after noting a guest is vegetarian) contain chicken stock. Moreover, I’m very familiar with and have extensively backpacked throughout Italy while attending art school in the South of France and teaching in Paris, this is very poor Italian cuisine. In reality, there are and should be a variety of fresh ingredients, exquisite herbs, and vegetable dishes (fresh vegetable dishes, no frozen vegetables, and without chicken stock).

A quaint Italian cafe with a few veggie options - Edit
Bambinos has a really nice vibe inside, along with some seating outdoors when the weather is pleasant. It feels as if it's a cross between a more upscale Italian restaurant and a laid back coffee shop.
Read moreService was friendly and our waitress was very attentive. She offered us bread with garlic for starters. I went with a sweet tea to drink and it was refreshing with just a touch of sweetness. For someone who is not fond of overly sugary drinks, I definitely enjoyed it.
I went with the vegan option, The Sorella. It was filled with fresh vegetables and was pretty good. It's great for a light meal, since the lunch portion is relatively small and does come with a soup or salad.
The prices were quite reasonable given the solid food and great service. A lunch date for two came to just about $20, including drinks. Not bad at all. I would come back if I'm in the area again. My only feedback would be that I would like to see more vegetarian/vegan options offered here.
Pros: Atmosphere, price, quality food
Cons: Limited vegan options

Love it!! Incredibly impressed out-of-towner! - Edit
Showed up 45 minutes prior to closing on a Sunday night and was treated as if we arrived earlier. The place was pretty full for the hour and the staff was incredibly flexible in using their menu to create vegan and vegetarian variations, explaining that the meat was all prepared separately.
Read moreBruschetta was made with olive oil instead of butter; hot with tons of garlic and a sweet cold tomato sauce. I had The Zia minus chicken - mushrooms, peas, cream sauce with provelle. Hearty, filling and YUM! He had the Greek - minus the chicken, stock & feta - black olives, tomatoes and greens with penne pasta and olive oil. Very tasty!!!
This staff knows how to make vegi & vegan options!!! Huge kudos!
Totally off the beaten path, in a local college neighborhood.
Oh... and good selection of beer and wine too.
Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, great location & ambiance
