About Bambini Trust Restaurant & Wine Room

Tucked inside the St. James Trust Building off Elizabeth Street, this dark-timbered European escape turns milestone celebrations and quiet dates into effortless evenings. White tablecloths, soft candlelight, and floor staff who remember your face—often greeting regulars by name at the door. The kitchen sticks to classic Italian done with composure: think seared scallops, buttery prawn pasta, and tender veal saltimbocca. Diners lean on the sommelier for cellar rarities poured under Coravin or order a balanced whiskey sour before closing out with espresso-soaked tiramisu and chilled limoncello.

  • Classic Italian Plates: Dependable execution across caviar service, seared scallops, rich prawn pasta, and tender veal saltimbocca.
  • Old-World Dining Room: A candlelit European dining room set with crisp white tablecloths and dark timber inside the historic St. James Trust Building.
  • Curated Cellar & Cocktails: Sommelier-backed cellar bottles, rare pours served via Coravin, and house-shaken whiskey sours.
  • Milestone Hospitality: Hands-on coordination and intuitive floor staff who remember guest names for birthdays and anniversaries.

  • Intimate, Candlelit Bistro Ambience

    Dimly lit interiors and the soft glow of table candlelight offer an intimate, secluded atmosphere tailored for dates and private conversation.

    The atmosphere is lovely, especially with the soft glow from the candles on the table. It made for such a perfect, intimate evening.

    An expansive cellar paired with Coravin technology allows guests to enjoy prestigious regional vintages and sommelier pairings by the glass.

    The strawberry gin cocktails were a hit as were the glasses of pinot noir under Coravin.
