Amazing food, but service can vary wildly depending on your server. Our guy last night was pretty clueless and slow, but other times it's been great.

We had dinner last night, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff was warm and welcoming the moment we walked in, and even though the place was busy, our server took time to check on us often without being intrusive.

We started with a very nice bottle of red wine, which was perfectly crisp and full of flavor. For the main course, we shared the cod in red sauce — fresh, flaky, and cooked just right. Of course it comes with the most delicious bread you could ever ask for. We also added a side of spinach which was so good!

The atmosphere was cozy, with big windows, and soft music that made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. Prices were fair for the quality, and portions were generous.

Would I return? Absolutely. This is the kind of place that makes you want to linger over your meal and savor the moment.

I had a reservation with my wife and our newborn (4 months). This restaurant went above and beyond for so many reasons. The day happened to be extremely smokey and my reservations were initially for the patio. With a newborn I was very apprehensive about sitting outside. I contacted the restaurant and they were able to move things around indoors to allow for the three of us to sit inside.

Once inside, we experienced exemplary service. Food was delicious and came out in a timely manner. The bread was incredible.

Towards the end of the meal, our newborn began to cry. I had to step outside to soothe him. The staff was able to give us a check in a timely manner, assist my wife with moving our stroller, and even came outside after us because we had left a binky.

Thank you everyone.

Wow. Best meatballs I've ever had. I also had the saffron pasta with anchovies and olives which was also delicious! Everyone at the table enjoyed what they had. If we ever visit bend again, we will be back!

Trattoria Sbandati never disappoints. The food is always incredible — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We’ve eaten here many times and every meal has been outstanding.

The staff is just as amazing as the food — warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. The cozy, intimate vibe makes it perfect for a romantic night out or a small gathering with friends. It’s a true gem in Bend and we’re so grateful to have it here!

Excellent scallops and a cucumber salad to start. My wife's saffron pasta and my meatballs and spinach were excellent.

We are very happy to have found this Italian gem. We started off with the antipasta and the board was beautiful. It wasnt my favorite as the bread was a little crispy but flavorful. We both ordered the Ragu Tagliatelle. It was really impressive all around. Great flavors and pasta was cooked well.
We shared the meatballs and enjoyed them. I can see why they are a favorite. However, we think 10.00 a meatball is a little steep. It did come with sautéed spinach, which was cooked and flavored to perfection. We finished sharing the tiramisu and it didn't disappoint.
We enjoyed trying Italian wines and our service was superb.
This isn't a cheap restaurant so I was taken aback seeing them fill water glasses from the sink (no filter seen but can't deny if it was at the bottom).
I'm sure most places serve tap water but once I know, I'll request bottle.
Overall, a very nice dinner and we will be back.
