I love this family owned gem. The Chef Matthew is adorable, always stops by to say hello and see how everything is. They have a wonderful menu of Italian classics, and some very innovative updated versions. The pasta is fresh and all the home made sauces make everything delicious. They just put in a bar so no more byob but they have some great wines by the glass. Blows away all those other stops on the street. A must try stop for dinner. Evene the kids love it but go early with kids it can get crowded.

I had a wonderful dinner here last Friday Evening. This Restaurant came highly recommended by friends who have been there many times. I went with 6 other girlfriends and each one of us had a great dinner. We started with a few appetizers, Amalfi Coast mussels, grilled eggplant, roasted peppers, this baked provolone cheese which was to die for and mixed salad. I ordered the special which was Penne Pecorino Alfredo with chicken, sun dried tomatoes and asparagus tips. This alfredo sauce was like no other I have ever tasted. It was truly made to order.The waiter told me why it tasted so unique. Fresh not thick like I have had so many times at other establishments. Everyone was pleased with their meal which is unusual with 7 girls who frequently dine out. My dessert was also delicious. The most outstanding one was the Fresh hand-dipped doughnuts with chocolate and strawberry sauces for dipping. The atmosphere was relaxing and the decor was beautiful. What a refreshing hip new Restaurant for South Philadelphia. I will certainly be back in the future and will recommend Bombino's to everyone I know.
