About BAMBINI

Tucked away along Peel Street, this family-run kitchen serves scratch-made pasta and classic Italian mains with the warmth of dining at Nonna's house. Diners drop in for bowls of tender handmade gnocchi coated in fresh tomato sugo and crisp porchetta crackling alongside glasses of Italian wine. Warm focaccia kicks things off with a soft, salted crust, making room for late plates of duck risotto or a generous slab of light, liqueur-soaked tiramisu.

  • Scratch-made pasta: Handmade ribbons and pillows tossed with fresh tomato sugo, rich cheese sauces, or seafood like cockles and squid ink tagliolini.
  • Multi-generational hosting: Guests are welcomed like family by the owners and Nonna in an intimate, multi-generational Peel Street setting.
  • Hearty traditional mains: Slow-roasted porchetta with crisp crackling and comforting duck risotto anchor the savory Italian main courses.

Antipasti, fresh breads, and traditional desserts to round out your visit

  • Tiramisu

    the tiramisu was Zen good. Every mouthful of it was pure pleasure because of its light feel, and sublime balance of caffeine, liqueur and restrained sweetness.
