Bambinelli's Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Atlanta

I ordered to-go thru Door Dash. There was about 10-15 minutes between my order being ready and receiving it.

I ordered ... 2x fettuccine with marinara on the side Baked ziti Cajun Pasta (medium spice) Garlic rolls Mozzarella appetizer Side of Alfred Side of mixed sauce

None of the food was hot, and only the rolls and ziti were fairly warm.

First off, the garlic rolls and mixed sauce were AWESOME!!! And it's a good thing, b/c that's all I was able to eat.

The mozzarella appetizer was room temperature. It really seemed that it was never cooked thoroughly. My daughter and I each ate one, and threw them out.

I had 3 bites of the Cajun pasta, and bowed out. Somehow it was both flavorless and vile at the same time??? I tried the side of Alfredo, thinking adding some would improve the flavor. Nope. Because it tasted just like the "Cajun" sauce; flavorless yet terrible.

The fettuccine noodles were fine. A little mushy, but fine. Same with the ziti. Its somewhat shocking how soft and gummy ALL noodles were, as it's an Italian restaurant.

Finally, the marinara sauce... I don't know the exact ingredients in marinara. But I know it contains more than just tomatoes. However, that's all this sauce tastes like. Tomatoes. No basil. No garlic. Luckily it was on the side. Because it was yet another food the family agreed was inedible.

So, when all is said and done, four of us ate (delicious!) garlic rolls, 4oz of mixed sauce, one order of baked ziti, and less than 2/5 of the mozzarella appetizer.

This is the sincerely the worst food I've had in years. A...

I tried this place for the first time today, since they recently opened a location near my apartment complex. Ordered the gnocchi and mozzarella sticks, and it was delicious! My order was prepared quickly, and the girl working at the pick up window was friendly. I’ll definitely be back!

Edit: I’m editing my review, as it seems this location has been a bit disappointing lately. They’ve cut down to only taking online orders (no option to call in or order at the window) and no longer offer sandwiches on the menu (they were my favorite). Upon picking up one of my roommate and I’s latest online orders, I guess an order ticket got lost. I sat and waited on my roommates order for over half an hour after they got thier ready text. I had to remind the staff I was still waiting and the other order was remade I suppose. I never received an explanation and the apology seemed half hearted, plus my order was ice cold by the time I got home with both orders (a less than 5 minute walk). Tonight an item was left off an order. Again, we’re close so it’s not so bad, just annoying. I do hope service gets better here. It’s been a favorite for my household...

Sheesh. I’ve ordered Italian food on Uber eats Four times and four times it’s gone in the trash...until I ordered from here. These other Italian restaurants better come here and take notes. Garlic knots? Banging. Calamari? Perfection. Fettuccine Alfredo? Perfect texture, simple, shrimp perfectly cooked and the portion size was so good I saved leftovers for dinner. I could not find any reviews for here, so I was mentally prepared to toss my money in the trash after so many disappointing Italian restaurants- but this place is so good I had to leave a review. Love it.

Update: what happened to this place? Their food used to be so good. I ordered takeout today and it was genuinely not good. The portion sizes are great but the fettuccine Alfredo tasted like air- no taste at all. The rolls were burnt so I ate just the bottoms which were equally flavorless. No utensils on takeout either. Really disappointed because this used to be...
