TOTALLY surprised to hear about this restaurant serving up delicious Italian food in La Puente! Don't let the location stop you from enjoying one of the best and most creative Italian cuisine in the tri city area. I was happy to arrive about 20 minutes after they opened because as I sat waiting for my meal, other patrons started filling the tables. I was immediately greeted by the very welcoming owner/chef Ivan who made some suggestions from his menu. I decided on the bambino shrimp appetizer and the shrimp scampi entree. The bambino shrimp was wrapped in bacon and sat on a base of lemon n caper sauce. I've never cared for capers but let me tell you, that sauce was delicious! The bacon was cooked perfectly, no raw pieces that can sometimes happen when it's wrapped and the shrimp was nice and firm with great seasoning. The shrimp scampi dinner was fresh and the sauce was light and delicious. The kalamata olives and capers added the perfect balancing bite! The hot "from the oven" rolls made sopping up the sauces from each plate a breeze! I will definitely return to try out several other items, but next time with my family so we can sample EVERYTHING!

I ordered Pizza, Lasagna, and salad. The salad was fresh and a good half sized portion. The meat lovers pizza had just the right amount of various toppings. The lasagne included delicious sauce. The food portions are well portioned and not huge or over abundant. Main point I'd like to make is that the food is delicious. It tastes fresh and clean. The sauces are light tasting and not overpowering. You can taste the pizza ingredients as they aren't overblown by cheese. Lasagne is bomb. Yummy sauce on the side. Kind and friendly service. I brought it home and it was well packaged. Hope this helps. Good clean food. I will be back! Thank you Bambino Felice!

Wow! I had to write a reveiw. I had the best eggplant parmesan at this small, but excellent restaurant. I am very picky of the Italian food I eat. Coming from Chicago, I thought that my hometown had the best. Glad I was able to go there and try their eggplant. Mama Mia! The best of the best! The sauce was excellent and the meatballs that I requested with my eggplant were delicious. And the price was not bad. Thank you for such an excellent service. My compliments to the Chef!

Came in to pick up a mobile order on a Saturday night around 5pm. Packed with a wait list. The dining area has about family size tables with one long table fit for about 20 people. So I ordered 3 plates, but my advice is to call ahead before picking up. The estimated time for pick up was way off. When I got there it was another 30+min after the pick up time. Understandably. But other than that, this place serves awesome italian food which will always have me coming back for more

I think I died and went to pasta heaven! 20/20 would recommend! Me and the boyfriend have been craving Italian for a little while and we almost settled for Olive Garden, but I'm so so happy we did not! The Seafood Sauté was the star of the show. Oh my goodness, it was so good--the perfect combination of salmon, scallops, and shrimp in a heavenly creamy sauce. I love angel hair pasta, and that was an incredible substitution. The bf had the Bolognese with angel hair as well. The flavors and portions were incredible. The presentation was beautiful, and the complimentary bread was perfection. The bread was soft, warm, and topped with a garlic bread type of spread. The only thing I would have to say is that it would have been more amazing if the bolognese sauce had been a little thicker, but overall, it was so good. What a cute little gem we found! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but be sure to stop by! You will not be disappointed!

Amazing food!!!! Amazing!!!! First of all, don't let the curb appeal scare you off. Just walk inside and you'll smell the food aromas and you'll realize you made a good choice. Ivan, the server and owner, made some recommendations. We got a shrimp appetizer. Don't know the name. But it was shrimp wrapped in bacon with capers and lemon. 11/10!!!! I ordered the chicken Marsala. Blew me away! So yummy. Better than the shrimp appetizer... I think. I can't decide. Both were so so good. Thank you for the good meal!!!!

My Chamber of Commerce group met at Bambino Felice for our monthly luncheon. Ivan, the owner was very easy with contact to set up this event. The food was delicious, we ordered pastas (with protein) and salads. My favorite dish was the Bambino House Pasta with Seafood, Chicken Picatta w/ artichokes and the Italian Style Chopped Salad. A bit random, but I very much appreciated the glassware. You'll know what I'm talking about when you go there. Ivan's personal touch and attention to detail made our event a great experience. You will be very satisfied with the flavors of the food, making this your go-to Italian spot! But don't just take my word for it! Go and experience it for yourself... and don't let another small business close down because of lack of support! We love Bambino Felice!
