Bam Bam Italian

A cosy italian treasure in ole' Emerald..

Location: Few mins from the township center of Emerald, and easy to locate.

Parking: Plenty of Parking is available at the rear of the restaurant; do note that even that can get full towards the peak hours especially dinner.

Ambience: Cosy, with good mix of tables to suit small family groups to bigger group sizes for parties and the likes.

Food: Only had the pizzas and the calamari and all were great, decently priced too! $$- $$$

Family-friendly: There is a covered 'indoor' play area for quite a number of kids to enjoy themselves whilst waiting for meals to be served, perfect entertainment for them.

Service: Service was immpeccable by all staff that came around to serve, take our orders or check-in on our table.

We had a birthday dinner there, and we had a fantastic time. The staff were very friendly and service was timely, food was great and even the music (curated by the owner and front of house of staff) set just the right atmosphere. And they had their own beer label, full strength, light in colour, light in taste, just perfect for a warm summer's night.

Traditional Napoli pizza at it's finest. It's more expensive than most and quite minimalist but the flavour is amazing and the blend of ingredients perfect. The crust is thin and perfectly done. The toppings are fresh and high quality.

Delicious food, great ambience and friendly service. Serving sizes are moderate but fabulous taste and presentation. Accommodated us despite of not having a reservation. Family friendly with nice little play area for kids.

Wow. Family wanted to treat us to a "really good" meal and somewhere we could safely bring the kids AND Boy was I surprised! Bam Bam is fantastic, the food is incredible there wasn't a single item on their menu I wasn't impressed with. Using lots of seasonal and local produce every dish was fresh and full of flavour. Notable mentions to the Wild Boar Ragu, the Stuffed Zucchini flowers and the Ricotta Gnocchi.
The playground equipment and kids menu just added to the whole experience. Kids were fed and entertained and were we easily able to supervise them in-between courses. Thanks you thank you!!

I don't think I have ever been to a child friendlier place. The food is the delicious and the service is great!

Excellent food! Great customer service. The waiting staff were fantastic! There was a bit of a delay in getting our table, so to compensate for that, we were given two complimentary starters! You have my seal of approval!

Delightful Father's Day lunch for seven. The young children loved being able to get out to the fully enclosed climbing playground. The adults enjoyed the ability to close off our room from the noise of the venue while knowing our youngsters would not bother anyone, ensuring a relaxed family friendly afternoon.

Top marks though to the three waitresses who looked after us at various times, so nice to have staff who actually express their personality and managed the children, and our food needs, so expertly. Delicious food rounded off a great day. Some of our party had been there before and I see why they were happy to return

QUALITY! Best dining experience in Australia. Delicious vegan food. Super friendly staff. Most family friendly restaurant I've been to. Thank you, we can't wait to come back.

Great Restaurant. Our group of 5 arrived without a booking and was accommodated quickly by the friendly staff. A great selection of vegetarian options was appreciated by several of our party. The restaurant is larger than it first appears and has a children's play area or the back that was also being well used by families with children.

Service was spot on, friendly, genuine and timely when needed.
The venue caters very well to the pro children crowd and the not so much.
Food offering was diverse and well made, pizza is fantastic (lovely base).
Happy to return..

We had our staff Christmas party at Bam Bams yesterday. The food was INCREDIBLE. I have never been to an Italian resturant with such incredible vegan options as well as a seperate garlic and onion free menu. They take dietary requirements so seriously which is so refreshing. We tried the vegan truffle mushroom pizza, INCREDIBLE, the green goddess pasta INCREDIBLE, vegan loaded potatoes INCREDIBLE + more. They also had a great range of organic soft drinks which is soo nicer the staff were incredibly accomodating and helpful and we had an overall great experience. Will definitely be back.

Vegan menu is quite big, special mention to the Pepperoni Pizza. Service is always great. Sit in the front section if you are allergic to children.
Check out Avonsleigh General Store (next door), Also packed with large selection of Vegan goods.

Flavoursome food and smily staff. Plus kids playground inside. Those elements are what we want as a family. It was really tasty mushroom pizza and coffee was great as well. Elegant interior design inside of restaurant and even bathroom. Hard and well organized kids playground is the most impprtant feature in here!!!I would love to recommend and go back there in nice day.

Great place! The service was lovely and the food delicious. It was the perfect place for my partner and I to go for a date night. I highly recommend trying this place for some great Italian food!

Have already recommended to family. Wonderful food, friendly staff who clearly liked their jobs. Was a lovely night. Thank you 😊

A delight to find such a great place in this location. Definitely worth making the journey for - we were surprised at the quality and service. We will be back.

BAM BAM Italian is one of our top three favourite restaurants. The food quality they provide is absolutely incredible, every bite packs a massive amount of flavour. The staff are so friendly and very accommodating. And can I say the truffle mushroom pizza (even on a gluten free base)….. I would travel back to them from all over for that pizza! I highly recommend eating out at BAM BAM Italian

Went last night for dinner and loved it! The food and service was wonderful. I had the Spicy Pan-Fried Calamari and it was delicious. Highly recommend. The chocolate mousse was yummy. The staff were lovely! I noticed they have a playground which is fantastic. Will be back with the kids next time :) Thank you Bam Bam Italian for a great night!

Authentic and delicious Italian food. It's a hidden Gem in Gembrook. 5 stars for customer service too. The play area was a hit amongst kids. We will be visiting this place again for sure.
