Il Bambino

Il Bambino makes delicious paninis . I like the Italian Meatloaf Panini , with its tender meat, tomato pesto , & spicy . Beer & wine available. Soups not available in the summer. There's a Backyard Patio .

They haven't had butternut squash soup in awhile. That was great. They replaced it w/ a tomato bisque soup . Also awesome. The Notorious PIG and the Cheese Us Christo are our favorite brunch paninis .

If you're there with a friend or on a date, I recommend splitting a panini and getting a mix of crostini . Any crostini with truffle butter is a win. And try the chicken with pesto panini . Solid food.

Paninis look small but incredibly filling. Full menu available always. So many great #paninis I need to go back #astoria #queenseats #foodie #nomnom #italian #ilbambino #brunch #nyc

What an amazing little charcuterie and panini restaurant ! Definitely split a charcuterie platter with your mate(s), and grab a panini as an entree! If you can, take advantage of their outdoor seating

Can you go wrong with anything here? They bring out their brunch panini game on Friday's, Saturday's, and Sunday's. Amazing soups make up for the fact that their hot chocolates are "okay," though.

Nice brunch spot in Astoria. They specialities are panini sandwiches with a great twist infused with your favorite breakfast goodies. The service and prices were great. There all about there bacon !!!

Well executed small plates and sandwiches are the norm at Il Bambino, all at wallet-friendly prices. Try the Argula Mimosa as a starter, and opt for a panini such as the Soppressata .

Great outdoor seating out back. Delicious Crostini and Panini . Dozens of options. You'll have to visit a few times to try them all. And you should totally do that.

Crostinis are perfect. For our group of 3 we got the pupu platter of 6 crostinis & the string bean salad and were thrilled. Good coffee is a bonus. Can't wait to come for brunch !

Paninis are amazing here. My favorite are the chicken mozzarella and on the weekend, get the pass the hash

Panini Panini Panini ! IL Bambino is the King of Panini's ! I personally can not get enough of the Roasted Chicken with Mozzarella and I like to make it my own with Basil Pesto and Artichokes ! SO GOOOD!

I agree that the chicken/mozzarella/spicy mayo panini is killer, but the fried eggplant/pesto panini is the best sandwich I've ever had. Better than anything I had in Italy. This place is a dream

Delightful and helpful staff . My date was craving a panini that had been on a previous menu and they not only helped recall all the ingredients but surprised us with it :)

I have to confess that I order the same panini every time I'm here - the chicken and arugula with mozzarella and spicy mayo . It's just the best.

OMG I don't know why I'd never been to this place before! Everything is freaking delicious and worth trying, warm crispy sandwiches are the best.

The Weekend Debris is worth the trip but be warned, you're better off splitting one panini and a side because they are massive. Service was a little off but the food alone is worth coming back for.

You can’t go wrong with anything here, but the roasted chicken panini with arugula , mozzarella , and spicy mayo is absolutely perfect

Amazing crostini and paninis ... Especially for brunch ! LOVED the Bacon Butty . Patio in the back allows you to enjoy a nice day too!

There's a great chicken , mozzarella , arugula , and spicy mayo panini ! So good. I've also had a macaroni and cheese panini once and thought it was tastey too.

Delicious paninis . Make sure to get the green beans with truffle oil as a side.

Had the Pig In Japan and Bacon Butty paninis - both delicious. Don’t miss out on the Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate !

I went with the mozz , prosciutto and pepper panini (loved it) and the goat cheese crostini w rosemary honey . Didn't leave a crumb. Good service too!

Il Bambino has a fantastic wine and beer list , and always has delicious specials to offer. Make sure you try the prosciutto , gorgonzola dolce, and fig spread panini ...it's incredible.

Had the Italian Meatball panini . ???????????? my face is melted from its greatness

Super cheap for amazing paninis and a great selection of drinks. The vibes are really chill too

Crostinis are the way to go! 4 is good for 2 pl. Anything with egg salad on it is good. The paninis are good to go but not as flavorful as crostini .

The paninis are awesome and very filling! The chicken or the prosciutto are my favorites!

The delicious paninis and amazing music choices make this place my go-to spot in Astoria.

Great sandwich and small plates spot with a strong wine and beer selection .

If you like egg salad , try the crostini with fontina and chive oil. It's awesome.

Get the artichoke , avocado and roasted mushroom paninis !

Amazing cheeses , meats, & paninin/crostini combos. Faves are the tallegio crostini & the chorizo or either of the chicken paninis . Nutella hot chocolate is def an added bonus and great beer selections

Beware, the “Fresh OJ ” is actually just Tropicana...but it pairs oddly well with the first (of three) Roast Chicken paninis .

Crostini with smoked bacon , goat cheese and spicy mayo was so good! Great place to have lunch !

I have YET to be disappointed by anything I have had from here! All of the paninis are delicious and don't get me started on the fingerling potato salad !!

I hear all of their sandwiches are awesome. Unfortunately I won't be able to try them because I will never stop ordering the chicken-arugula-mozz-spicy mayo panino.

Been coming a long time and I've never been disappointed. With this menu you really can't go wrong

Where do I start? New red velvet cupcakes , My favorite Crostini - Mozzarella & Olive Spread, or the Baby Arugula Mimosa Salad ? Just ate in the back garden and it was lovely.

Absolutely amazing. The tomato soup , prosciutto crostini , mushroom panini , cheese platter...mmmm everything.

NY Foodie Reco: Truffle string Beans with shaved parm . Truffled Egg salad , Cappa ham panini and panna cotta with chocolate flakes

Vanilla Panna cota and the paninis and crostinis ! Everything was amazing.

Great wine , the pu pu platter is the way to go

Chicken-mozzarella-spicy mayo panino is great for lunch/dinner. Weekend Debris is my brunch pick. definitely get the potato salad .

Awesomely delicious as always, the special panini with ham , basil pesto , cheese , and dirty chips was the best!

Didn't know how great paninis and crostinis could be before I got here. Potato salad is to die for too!

Potato salad is the best I've ever had. O.M.G.

Paninis are fantastic, peanut butter hot chocolate is great, too!

Order the PuPu platter as your entrée. You'll get six different things, and you WON'T regret it!

Hmm... The reviews are dead on, very good panini , peanut butter hot coco is good too
