Go to Il Bambino and try the smoked tomato bisque when it's chilly outside. Then try a sampling of the extraordinary Italian crostinis. Truffled egg salad with shaved speck for the win! Read more

To find the restroom light, face the entrance (with the door open), walk two steps in and the switch is on the right wall near the corner.

Order the PuPu platter as your entrée. You'll get six different things, and you WON'T regret it!

The Sweet Ass panini is amazing. Really good coffee, too. Service is pretty terrible on a busy Saturday, though.

Paninis are to die for - great service!
Ryan WieczkowskiJuly 27, 2018
personally, I don't get the hype. service was very slow considering there were only two other tables seated, and everything that was ordered was either weird or not good. maybe skip this place.
