Another fabulous meal at Bombetta. So impressed with the efforts they have made to have more outside seating that is stylish , safe and comfortable.
As ever lovely food and staff, always exceptional.
Lovely evening, cold but table heaters good idea. Service a little slow but to be expected on first week back after lockdown.
Delicious fresh food. Very tasty options to share. Took trouble to serve the children first with their choice, which ensured we enjoyed ours.
Delightful restaurant!
Absolutely awesome experience here, the food is incredible and the service great, really friendly.
10/10 all round. Love this place. Food is amazing and the staff are so friendly.
Great rustic and authentic Italian providing diners with a different experience from usual Italian eateries. The ambience and feel, even in the outdoor areas, made it a lovely family sharing meal experience.
Superb produce, lovely wine, great staff.
The veal and nduja pasta was sublime
Great food, great service, wonderful alfresco dining experience
Outstanding as always! We've been regulars at Bombetta for years now, and they've risen to the covid challenge magnificently. The new outdoor areas are really cosy. The bombette are just as good as ever, but you also have to try the new roast lamb dish 👌
A bombetta is a glorified pig in blanket, which is fine if that's what you like - it is tasty - but it's hardly the interesting culinary experience that the restaurant would claim
Bombetta is a name of a product from Puglia (meat, cheese and cured meat all wrapped up and cooked on a skewer) so your comment is rather like calling pizza a glorified slice of cheese on toast. Short of explaining what a Bombetta is & the provenance of some of the ingredients (all imported direct from Slow Food producers & farmers based throughout Italy) that we use for our small plates, we don't claim anything, although we do hope people enjoy the experience. I am sorry it wasn't for you.
Well spaced, good polite service, pleasant atmosphere. And the food is very good. I will be going back.
Thank you so much for the review, we open again on the 12th of April with outside seating so we hope to have you again.
Such lovely service
Thank you so much. We will be back open again on the 12th of April.
I love every minute of being in Bombetta. The welcome, the ambience and of course the superb food. It's a real treat and I can't recommend it highly enough. Thanks!
We hope to have you back with us when we open again on the 12th of April :-)
Always a delight! Vic and his team in the open kitchen never miss a beat.
Cheers

Thanks Dan, We hope you are back again with us, when we re-open. You can book from April the 12th onwards.
Gorgeous as always! They go above and beyond. Perfect way to celebrate my birthday.
Hi Abby, We hope to have you sitting outside with us soon. We re-open on April the 12th.
Such lovely dinner and atmosphere. Great service!
Thank you for a lovely review Eleg ! We hope to have you back with us again when we re-open on April the 12th.
This is one of our favourite little restaurants because it’s a bit different and the food is so good. We took our little boy for the first time as we wasn’t sure if it was child friendly as we have only ever been of a late evening however they literally couldn’t have been more accommodating to us. The service was truly outstanding and we recommend highly.
Hi Jade, Thank you so much for your review. We really appreciate it. We will be open again with outdoor dinning from April the 12th and we really hope to see you soon.
Was told about it by friend and gave it a go on Sunday afternoon for lunch. Not a massive menu but it didn't need to be. starters mains and desserts what absolutely lovely and great service too. Would happily recommend and will definitely go back for another visit
Thanks for your review Howard. We open up again on April the 12th for outdoor dining and we really hope you will be able to join us soon. Kind regards, Ben.
Always good for a local atmosphere, nice to hear they are expanding and I am sure the locals will support.
Only popped in shortly as we had some time together while I was in the area. Atmosphere was lovely. Prosecco even better. Bruschetta, delicious. While we were only in there for a fleeting visit, it was lovely.
Will visit again.
Everything about this restaurant is amazing. It’s family friendly, relaxed, unpretentious and the quality of ingredients used is always second to none. It’s our favourite restaurant in London!
Thank you so much for such a glowing review. We will be open again from the 12th for outdoor dinning so we hope to have you back with us :-)
Lovely evening again. Great food and service. Thanks.
Straight 5 stars, thank you so much. We really appreciate it. Hopefully we will have you back with us soon, we will be opening for outdoor dinning from he 12th.
Always innovative delicious food. A great local gem.
Thank you Polly, it means a lot to get a 5 star review :-) We will be open again on the 12th of April so we hope to see you soon. Regards, Ben & Jo
As per usual perfect service, clean, amazing wine and great food. Best restaurant in Wanstead
Fantastic food, not your average Italian at all but much more imaginative. All super fresh and very tasty.. will definitely get some Saturday night takeaways while we are in isolation.
Thank you so much for the review. We open again for outsider dinning from the 12th of April, so we hope to have you back with us soon!.
Outstanding as alway. One of my favourite restaurants- food is amazing along with ambiance and service. 10/10
Thank you to Bombetta for another awesome night.
We booked this especially for my husband's birthday on the last night before lockdown. Bombetta is one of our favourite local restaurants.
I couldn't sadly give it 5 out of 5 stars overall because a few minor things did occur - namely, we were told on the night we had the table for less than two hours, this wasn't great, felt a bit rushed, and that there was an agenda to squeeze in more customers into the duration of the last night, this was also felt in the service partly - the normal care and attention was lacking because time could not be given as usual to each table. I also requested something special for Glen to mark his birthday in the comments section of the reservation, although he did not have a dessert plate, something else could have been done- a drink on the house or dessert for example...?
Lastly, assuming it was because it was the last night and stock had to be used up- there was a limited menu and no tomato options. All forgivable reasons given prelockdown night but it took away from the full Bombetta experience on what was special occasion. Fabulous food and we can't wait to return, we have booked Christmas eve so hopefully restaurants will be able to open up again in December.
Hi Daniella, I'm sorry if our stress pre lock down transcended into service & affected your experience. As a rule we always give a drink or dessert on the house for birthdays, whether we are informed prior to the booking or pick it up in service. It was busy as it was the last night before lock down. Apologies if you felt rushed someone had booked the table at 8pm your booking was at 17:45. I hope we can have you with us again soon, Kind regards, Ben.
We managed to get a last minute booking before the 2nd lockdown. We were so pleased they' d survived the first especially with the same successful team.
Food and ambiance excellent........ highly recommend
Hiya yummyfood, thank you for such a glowing review. We really appreciate it :-) We open again for outdoor dinning on the 12th of April, so we would love to have you back with us soon!
Such an amazing meal out- can’t wait to go back again!
Thank you for the 5 stars, we open again for bookings on tables outside on April the 12th so we really hope to see you soon!
Always a treat from the welcome, service, casual decor, well selected wines and the delicious Food that comes out of the hypnotising open kitchen- the show that never disappoints!
Cheers
Dan

Fantastic restaurant for an alternative Italian meal.
Highly recommended

Delicious food, excellent wine and charming service
Thanks Paul! Were open again on the 12th of April for outdoor dining so I hope we can have you back with us then! Take care, Ben
always a good experience at Bombetta. We were reassured by their Covid practices too.
Fabulous Sunday Roast - quality ingredients. Quirky surroundings and relaxed atmosphere.
Hot date, hot food. Thanks! Wine and quality perfect, cosy even in the Covid situation.
Good food and friendly service as always. Been here a few times for different occasions and it’s always a good choice. Food and service are always very high quality.
Hi Graham, Thanks so much for the review, we hope you will be back with us soon. We will be opening the outdoor space and re-opening again on the 12th of April. Take care, Ben & Jo
Loved it. Great food. Great staff. Will be coming again.
Thank you for the 5 stars, we open again for bookings on tables outside on April the 12th so we really hope to see you soon!
We sat outside due to Covid. Very useful to have this facility locally so that we can still meet up with other households.
I enjoyed my lunch, two glasses of Prosecco and a cappucino.
We will be back for more!
Hi Dotty, I am glad you liked the outdoor space and enjoyed your Prosecco. We are going to be giving the outside a lick of paint over the next few weeks and will be opening it up again for the 12th of April! I hope next time you come we can move some of those 2 and 3 scores to 4 and 5's and I hope to see you soon. Kind regards, Ben & Jo
