Italian Bambinos Gerringong

Worst coffee experience of my life. tasted like hot water with smell of coffee.

Clearly doesn’t bake his lamingtons fresh. Super stale.

I have just been in Gerringong for a few days and the highlight was this patisserie. Everything we got was delicious and our absolute favourite was the round caramel slice delicious!

Not a great experience of this takeaway. It was almost uncomfortable watching the two visibly stressed (despite not being overly busy) staff members, as they rushed around the place. They were unable to effectively communicate or delegate tasks to one another. They constantly had to be reminded of your order contents, and were unable to identify who had and hadn't paid. When I asked how much longer my food might be, I was told it had just gone in despite just having watched them put something completely different in the microwave. I would have assumed this was a bare faced lie, were they not so incompetent.My mushroom arancini left plenty to be desired, it was not entirely warmed through, and was almost entirely bereft of mushrooms or seasoning of any kind the melted cheese running through, just about rendered it edible. The frittata would have been fine had it not been almost completely cold. The pastry of my canoli tasted slightly bitter, probably overdone/burnt and yet it somehow managed to be soggy in places. The filling was bland and uninspiring. My coffee was entirely bitter I suspect they burnt the beans.The food seemed like it had been prepared without any love, care, or attention. And what must be, at some level, a contempt for their customers.All in all a thoroughly unsatisfactory visit. I would avoid if at all possible.

My wife, son and I recently had dinner at this place. Meals were hot in some places and luke warm throughout the pasta and lasagne dishes.Was not made to order, in fact a lot of pinging from their microwave, the hot plates weren’t even fired up.Good authentic Italian food is and should be made from scratch, or at least have the fresh pasta to use. Sauces should be made on a hot pan and pasta stirred in.Poor tasting, I could of made this at home and I’m not even Italian.We were on holidays, worst experience of the trip.Find another Italian restaurant, like in Kiama.
