Always expect an amazing meal. I almost don't want to say this because I want it all for myself!!!

Once again, Bombolo lived up to its reputation and our expectations. This restaurant is a real find. Chef Garrett does a masterful job of blending flavors.

Love this place. Really creative menu and well executed. Excellent cocktails and wine selection as well. Service is good. Barbecue shrimp is a fave and the pastas are wonderful.

All four of us loved our dinners - just delicious. Efficient wait person. Unfortunately loud and very loud table next to us. It was Saturday night though...

Our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it! It is a very “meaty” place so maybe not the best choice for vegetarians- food was also very salty (steak and frites)

What a charming restaurant, with a thoughtful and well executed menu and very attentive service.

Service : We noted a few food sensitivities / allergies at the start, and our server was proactive in assisting us.

Food : The spicy rigatoni (yes sounds simple) was phenomenal, as were the Brussel sprouts. The menu was ambitious, with French, Italian, Thai influences and they were very well executed. Unfortunately, we were so full, we didn’t have a chance to try dessert.

Ambiance : quaint little place, with lots of interesting decor - transports you away.

Thank you for a memorable evening!

Thank you for a lovely evening! It was our first time at Bombolo and there will certainly be more. The food is outstanding, creative and balanced at the same time. The service especially knowledgeable, thoughtful and kind. Cozy and relaxing ambiance is also appreciated. Thank you, see you soon!

Service was very unenthusiastic or descriptive. Sales could be better. Server was unengaged in dining experience as far as hosting is concerned. Much potential, lacking in quality of knowledgeable servers who are passionate about dining out and creative menus

Food is okay, but not worth its price. Several of us had unhappy stomachs in the night after dining. The restaurant is very small, and it doesn't feel like you're in a fine dining establishment. No bread.

If you were to make a list of the best under-the-radar restaurants in the triangle, Bombolo would be number 1.

We loved our dinner at Bombolo. The menu changes daily and always has unusual choices-- so we had to try the wild boar and rabbit dishes. The pate appetizer was terrific, only wish more bread came with it. The bbq shrimp was good. My husband loved the brussels sprouts and the chocolate Budino but I thought the salt levels were too high on both. The fresh pasta dishes were outstanding as was the service. Portion sizes are not too big so 3 courses are feasible, and the prix fixe option made that more affordable.
