BAR BAMBINO

Bar Bambino is not exactly in our hood, we being in the Marina, and it's being at 16th-Mission. But we were drawn by positive comments, and we were hardly disappointed. Chef clearly knows her way around southern Italian food. You must not miss her crusty stuffed olives, or her superb rendition of rabbit, a delightful alternative to chicken, and all too rarely seen on local menus. Pig roasts are offered from time to time. and the mostly Italian wine list is surely one of the best in the city.
