    This is one of the best meals we’ve ever had. From start to finished everything was incredible! We started with the Burnt Ends and the Tallow French Fries. I will dream about those burnt ends. They were melt in your mouth perfect and the sauce is delicious! The French fries were crispy, thick and perfectly salted - it’s one of those textures that you can’t stop eating because it’s so pleasing and flavorful! Next, we shared the Tomahawk Taco Board and the Cacio Pepe. Wow. Flavor all around. We actually came for this board and we loved every bit of in, including adding the chili lime colossal shrimp. The pineapple slaw was a real standout for this also! Last we shared the lemon tart, the banana bread split and the cake batter gelato. We went overboard on ordering deserts because we couldn’t decided and ended up eating every last bit of every desert! Truly a masterpiece of a restaurant and we cannot wait to come back and try more!

    Sexy Roman completely blew me away. The ambiance is stunning, but the service is what truly sets this place apart. My server, Tristian, was absolutely incredible. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel incredibly welcome throughout the entire evening. The absolute highlight of the night was the martini cart experience. Watching the drinks crafted tableside with such care and flair added an amazing touch of luxury to our meal. If you go, you absolutely have to order it. Between Tristian’s flawless hospitality and those perfect martinis, we are already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!

    I had a really good experience at Bar Bambino. The ambience was fantastic, the drinks were good, and the food was actually pretty impressive for a speakeasy. My only complaint is that I wish they had a few more martini choices on the menu, but overall it was a great spot and I'd definitely go back.
