Ordered chop salad which states on the menu it has kalamative olives. It was served with black olives without prior notice. We confronted our waitress in the matter and she had the chef come out and he said they had just run out of kalamative olives and just used black olives as a substitute. Nothing was done to try to...

Perfect place for a quiet dinner for two. The food was top notch. My halibut was cooked perfectly. Will be going back

We visited on our last evening in the area. The food and service were excellent. We have an allergy in the family. The chef came out the discuss options with us. Awesome, thanks Chef Randolph.

My husband and I visited Bambino's last night, having enjoyed some great dinners there last year, but fearing that this year it might disappoint us. My husband started with an amazing Caesar salad with a creamy dressing and pieces of Parmesan cheese, not the usual grated Parmesan -- a very delicious combo. Oh, and it was HUGE -- probably better... More

Our planned destination was closed and it was already 8p so we decided to try the next best on the tripadvisor list, which was Bambino's. We lucked into a backup that could have been a first choice. The dining room is tiny, quaint and charming. It was half empty when we arrived and empty when we finally let them close... More

My Wife and I dined there last night with another couple. It was really yummy from the soup to the salad to the mains. The flatbread appetizer with goat cheese and caramelized onions was great. The Italian salads were fresh and crispy. My Wife raved about the tomato basil soup. In terms of mains, my Wife and I had specials... More

I've delayed writing this review for quite some time because if it's just me? I like Italian food but the price and portions don't seem to fit properly. OK on to the review. We were on Corolla for a day trip from Kill Devil Hills and didn't want to dive all the way back before dinner. My wife LOVES Italian... More

Decent family restaurant in Corolla. The menu is well thought out and the wine list very impressive for this part of the country. The food is well prepared but if you are a NY-area Italian food snob this is NOT of that calibre. It is tasty and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. My family and I will definitely...
