So glad we stopped Our server Wislene was perfect!!! I highly mushroom fettuccini, the flavor was the best I’ve had in such a long time. The pizza was good - sorry no photo. The pork belly steam bun was delicious too. Perfect meal and glad that 3 of us split the pasta’s.

We stopped into Bambolina while visiting Salem and were so glad we did! We ordered the margarita pizza and it was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients. The service was fast and friendly, which we really appreciated since we were on a bit of a time crunch. The restaurant was very clean and had a calm, quiet atmosphere. There weren’t many people dining around 5pm on a Wednesday, so it was a relaxing break in the middle of a busy day. We wish we could’ve stayed longer to enjoy it! Would definitely go back and highly recommend.

I had the sausage and the artichoke & arugula pizzas along with a cappuccino. The food was very good, and the service friendly and prompt. I downgraded the atmosphere because it looks like every hipster restaurant ever: nixie tube light bulbs, drinks in mason jars, 4 different types of lightning, big B in lights on the far wall. The food makes up for it though.

My husband and I spent an hour looking for a place that we wanted to eat at. We settle for bambolina. It was a little loud but it didn’t bother me at all. We ordered the pizza bread which was really good, I did order the forest mushroom pizza for my husband and I to share but a mushroom pasta came out. My husband and I were confused and the waiter offered to give us the pizza instead but I declined. I do have to say I’m glad we got the pasta it has to be one of the best pastas I have ever had!!!

Pizza was great! Our waiter on the other hand wasn't. He only came by our table 2 times. Once to get our drink order and then to take our food order. Another waitress brought us our food and checked on us. He only came back around when it was time for us to pay. I know its the busy season but when we were seated there were only 2 other tables of people.

Let me just say that the food here is delicious, and our server yesterday was wonderful. The kids loved their pizzas and the Colonel Sanders was outstanding. Unfortunately I don’t my family and I will be returning any time soon. The older blond white woman, who I can only assume is the manager, was incredibly rude and disrespectful. Watching the way she interacted with the guests next to us was so uncomfortable, and how she spoke to her staff in front of everyone was enough to spoil my appetite. She was downright disrespectful, cursing at people, making inappropriate comments, and treating paying customers like an inconvenience. I get that it was super busy, but that’s no excuse for acting so blatantly unprofessional. It’s a real shame because the place is great otherwise.

Horrible Ceasar salad. Dressing tasted like mayo, the croutons were very spicy and covered in pepper, mound of shredded cheese on top. The only good thing is it had fresh lettuce.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Delicious!
Bombolina’s has hands-down some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. The crust is perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside, with that homemade flavor you just can’t fake. Their sauce tastes fresh and tangy, and the toppings are generous and high-quality. You can tell they care about every detail.
The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly and attentive.
If you’re a pizza lover, Bombolina’s is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! 🍕❤️

Went here on Sunday, 10/05, and the hostess was unprofessional and visibly annoyed from the start. We asked for a table for six, and when our table was ready, we were told the only option was to sit outside. We mentioned we were willing to wait for an indoor table, but the hostess said it wasn’t “available.” About 10 minutes later, another group of six arrived, and she gave them the option to sit inside or outside.

I spoke with the manager afterward, who justified it by saying they were short-staffed but completely disregarded how unprofessional the hostess had been especially when we were willingly to wait. After reading other reviews, I realized I’m not the only one who’s had a similar experience here.

On top of that, the soda was flat, food was ok and our waitress only came by twice — once to take our order and once to drop off the check.

I’m sorry, but what the heck? I came in for the first time to try the food — not the pizza, but Kokeshi — and I honestly can’t believe all the amazing reviews. Even the soda was flat. I left feeling completely disappointed and a bit bamboozled. Service was great though.

Awesome spot for OUTSTANDING wood-fired pizza. Came in during spooky season, seated right away, and the pizzas came out way faster than expected and cooked to perfection. Had the Soppressata and Forest Mushroom pies and have zero complaints. Staff was very attentive and super friendly, we’ll definitely be back again!
