At Bambino’s, the bread is free, pastas are blanketed in bubbly cheese, and “small” calzones are about the size of a tennis racquet head. This spot brings old-school Italian charm to Cole Valley, and works well for easy last-minute group dinners. Order the cannelloni and carbonara studded with mushrooms and peas, the aforementioned calzone, and any of the housemade gelatos for dessert.
