Bambino - Marseille

From antipasti to desserts everything we tasted was delicious a sdiscret service but effective attention no booking

Visited friends in marseille, they insisted on returning to a newly opened restaurant they loved. so we went, experienced dinner with mixed feelings. read more for details. while the kitchen is Italian, the restaurant is like in the American diner from the 60s with tightly packed metallic and chairs, music from the 60s and 70s. the dining room was crowded and we shared a table with another couple, literally bumping arc through the evening. the service was friendly and efficient. the fresh tagliatelle pasta with ink sauce from ink showed good. the Margarita pizza I asked without olives and the waitress who confirmed my request came with oliven. the thin crust was nicely boiled and contained a thin layer of a pure tomato-based sauce without obvious spice, a style that I do not personally enjoy. the requested mushrooms were present, but I would like to give up the olives for more mushrooms. while I looked at the evening meal, my two table mats were much more enthusiastic and would certainly return. I should be convinced. on the other side, the dining room was filled with an enthusiastic crowd, so maybe this will also be their experience.

The restaurant is located in a not frequented street and has tables on the street sidewalk an inside (nice in Sommer and winter. The food is definitely Italian inspired (with a Sicilian touch). We were twice this week there and it was always filled to the rim. A young crowd seems to attend there. Two important points: no reservations! and they speak fluently English. Credit cards are accepted as usual in France. Now the main course: food! We took pizza which was excellent, an Spagetti Nero with octopus which was superb, arancini also delicious. I am waiting to return!

Warm welcome and service. We felt the flavors of Italy on our plates, no wonder it’s because of home! I recommend and come back with great pleasure. You can go with your eyes closed!
