Il Bambino

One of our favorite food spots in Queens for the past decade. Their back patio was our escape during covid and continues to be reliably cozy for us (way better than sidewalk dining IMO). I wish they would bring back the avocado toast with hot honey but otherwise love how the menu has pretty much stayed the same this whole time. Bonus: they now have dirty chips to-go! Best of all, the service is always super friendly!

I walk past Il Bambino all the time and decided to give it a shot one evening based on all the great reviews I read. The place really does deliver. I had the prosciutto and mozzarella panini with arugula and sun-dried tomato pesto. It was so fresh and tasty. Great crust and a great combination of flavors! I also tried the apricot tartlet and chocolate brownie and loved both. The environment is also nice and cozy. The best part of my dining experience was the warm and kind Constance who made me feel at home despite being a first-timer. She made excellent recommendations and really went above and beyond to make it a great experience. Thank you Constance.

Exceptionally crafted paninis, had the broccoli vegetarian one and the sweet sausage- both were incredibly delicious. This place has earned my trust to really expect their entire menu to be amazing. Oh and they can make a good cappuccino- which is not taken for granted

I was in the neighborhood and this location popped up. OMG!! This was one of the best sandwiches I have had. I had the love handles sandwich because I wanted something different and man was that a perfect choice. Toasted to perfection. Me and my friend enjoyed it so much. Definitely coming back!

Best Paninis in the neighborhood!!! They're super friendly too! Very cozy atmosphere 😌
