This is a little hole in the wall. You could look at it and pass by and never think of it again. That would be a HUGE mistake!!! Everything in here is made from scratch! The lasagna, spaghetti, and penne we ordered were all expressed as the best thing we’ve ever eaten! Their flan! Their flan!!!!!!!’ Oh my gosh their flan!!!! Best meal I’ve ever had and I will return one day soon I hope! Try this place! I promise you will not regret it.

Small unassuming corner Italian restaurant in central dtla. Started with Burrata Crostini with Prosciutto di Parma. Follow back Lobster Ravioli. All excellent tasting & beautifully presented. Ivan tended to our needs. You can see Miguel & Angel working the kitchen. Normal seating setup for 26 guests.

Ivan, the waiter was wonderful. Attentive and knowledgeable. The food was very good it was my granddaughter’s birthday and Ivan brought out a special cake and candle to celebrate. The location is pretty isolated… probably a big crowd at lunch.. I’d go again.

We asked for water and was charged $8 for bottled water without any notification this would be an extra charge. Starting off rough.
The table bread was burnt, the AC barely worked, the calamari was bland, the tagliatelle didn't have enough chicken and the carbonara was too salty.
It was located in a bad area and the inside was run down. I knew this ahead of time, but in Los Angeles that usually means the food is excellent. This place was an exception.
Seating was cramped. They also had a giant half of a parmesan wheel on display under their soccer game (that stopped working multiple times during our visit) within 2 feet of our table (and 2 other tables). No covering, no sneeze guards, just chilling there exposed. I asked if it was decoration, because surely that's not meant to be eaten if it's stored like that. They told me no, I can order a pasta mixed in it for $90.
No thanks.

Really great food. Every dish I’ve had here has not disappointed me. The prices are reasonable and the service is great.
The location is not great but there is plenty of street parking nearby and the fixtures to accommodate outdoor seating is appreciated.

We found this new treasure by Googling restaurants near The Music Center, where we were coming from out of town and seeing a show. We struck gold! Il Bambino is in an unassuming building, but they serve amazing food in a clean, homey, and friendly space. Our party is still raving about our selections, and we are planning another trip in the near future! I cannot recommend it enough!
