Il Bambino

Omg always amazing - today we got take out but I’ve tried many things on the menu. They’ve recently redecorated and changed it up a bit - looks good! The menu changes so today I’m trying something new out and I’m so excited! Great ingredients make great food and this place has it down. Be sure to get one of the best brownies ever and some dirty chips - two must haves!

Great panini shop in Astoria! We’ve been here twice and they have always been great with service and food. We really like the taste of their food. You really can’t go wrong with any of the pressed paninis. I would recommend the El Porko Royals as well as the Piggie Smalls, both of which the server recommended as well. You only get the panini with your order, and have to get sides separately. Parking is often difficult because it’s all street parking and it’s hard to come across an open spot. But it’s worth the effort!

This cute panini shop offers a variety of pressed sandwiches and other homemade dishes just right sized and delicious. The sandwich options are unique with an assortment of flavors from across the global palette which is refreshing. We ordered on panini from the brunch menu and one from lunch. Frankly it was hard to choose but our server was cheerful and helpful in making our selections. The classic fries are spot on. Homemade chips are good but are not subtle to prepare for flavor. There is both indoor and outdoor seating in their covered patio which is where we sat. Lastly, I found the beverage selection really awesome, someone there knows there brew. All in all, a great spot and wonderful to have in the area.

Very nice place to have a conversation and meal with friends. Cute little pumpkins on tables. The environment is quiet. They have salad, panini and so on. The gentleman, I think he is the owner, is super nice and provided us a good service. I like the question he asked us “do you have any questions about the menu?” It is courtesy and friendly to a person who is not familiar with panini, like me. We also got a suggestion how big the portion is and don’t order too much. The salad is fresh. Crispy panini. Try it if you are still hesitating.

Yummy sandwiches and crostinis. We enjoyed the food and the service. You order your food up at the front and sit down like at any other restaurant and have the food served. Everything tasted fresh and the crispiness of the bread was great. The hostess was very sweet and accommodating which made the visit even more pleasant.
