Bomb Bomb Bar in Pennsylvania

"BombBomb blew us away! We went for a birthday celebration and we loved every course. Lobster Francese and crab cakes were the favorites but everything was delicious. We will definitely be back! Thanks BombBomb!"

"I stopped by Bomb Bomb Bar in South Philadelphia and it’s one of those classic neighborhood spots that feels full of history and character. The place has an old-school Italian vibe with red-checkered tablecloths, cozy seating, and a lively bar atmosphere that makes it feel like a true local hangout. The menu focuses heavily on Italian-American seafood dishes. I tried a seafood plate and it was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Dishes like mussels in fra diavolo sauce and lobster francese are standouts, and the flavors feel traditional rather than overly modern. The drinks are also fun, with Italian-inspired cocktails and frozen drinks that pair well with the food. Overall, Bomb Bomb Bar is a great spot if you want a cozy, authentic South Philly dining experience with classic seafood, strong drinks, and a nostalgic neighborhood vibe."

"When I heard Bomb Bomb was being purchased by Baldino, my husband and I knew we needed to add it to the lineup of Italian restaurants to frequent in Philly. Upon entry, you’re immediately greeted by checkered dining tables, folks adorned with a big ol’ smiles and plastic crab bibs, a bustling bar and the aroma of delicious Italian food making its way from the kitchen to patrons tables. Bomb Bomb offers uniquely “seafood-centered” southern Italian fare and boy if this is your thing (like it is mine), you’re in for a treat! Something to note, the $62/pp price fixe allows you to order a certain amount of dishes from the dining menu, but don’t just limit yourself to those options! The bar menu has some great heavy hitters you’ll want to give a try! Ordered Items: - Mozzarella en Carrozza (Bar Menu) - Roast Pork Sammy (Bar Menu) - Clams in White Wine Sauce (Dining Menu) - Mom’s Stuffed Calamari (Dining Menu) - Whole Dungeness Crab (Dining Menu + $) - Lobster Francese (Dining Menu) - Carbonara (Dining Menu) - Ice Cream Sundae (Dining Menu + $) For 2 people, (4) entrees + an addition of a Pasta Side are included in the price fixe. Hands down, some of the show stoppers came directly from the bar menu. You can’t go wrong with hot, mouth watering, fried mozzarella thats stringy pull takes you from one end of the dining room to the next. After decimating the mozzarella, the real special bite comes from the steaming roasted pork sandwich served with a side of its very own au jus. Flavorful, juicy just like a warm hug. Some highlights from the dining menu, I just wouldn’t pass up on reordering in the future: the whole Dungeness Crab + Lobster Francese. Although requiring some work, the Dungeness Crab hits it out of the park on flavor + natural butteriness. Ditch the side of melted butter it comes with, you’d be doing a great disservice to yourself for not savoring the crabs delicious Sicilian inspired seasoning. As far as the Lobster Francese goes, this dish stands out as one of the more refined + naturally rich dishes we had this evening. Comprised of some of our most favorite ingredients (butter, capers, decadent lobster) the trifecta pairing of all three of these ingredients rewards your mouth with the most beautiful, delicate symphony of flavors. Too good to pass up, a staple that just can’t be missed. Aside from these showstoppers, the true heart of Bomb Bomb derives directly from those serving table side. Jack our server did not fail us on menu recommendations. Linda, the walking heartbeat of Bomb Bomb… equally as entranced by the menu and prime advocate for Sicilian cuisine, will truly make your dining experience. Linda to Bomb Bomb is Dolores to Palizzi. IYKYK. You can’t have one without the other. Aislinn was the first smile to greet us and the last to bid our farewells. Ensuring our cups were never empty and our bellies always full! Thank you to this wonderful team for an incredible evening - wouldn’t have wished to celebrate my birthday in any other way!"

"unreal experience. food is really special and brings such deep and interesting flavors to dishes you think you already know (get the fried calamari, it seems simple but was a highlight). the drinks are fantastic and the service is so kind and genuine. really wonderful night!"

"A new favorite! Friendly and warm service and great old-school South Philly Italian vibes. Highlights were the clams casino, fried calamari, lobster & shells, and the sundae."

"Bomb Bomb Grill absolutely lived up to the name - food, service, and vibe were all 10/10. We celebrated my sister’s bachelorette dinner here and couldn’t have picked a better spot. The food was unreal. We did the Dungeness Crab upgrade and it was so worth it. Our table ordered the shrimp cocktail, crab cake, clams casino, stuffed calamari, and lobster & shells. I’m not exaggerating when I say the lobster & shells was everyone’s favorite. Total show-stopper. For pasta sides we had the carbonara and the black ink pasta, plus broccoli rabe (which was shockingly delicious even for someone who normally skips it) and fries with Bomb spice .. AMAZING. The only mistake we made was not asking for the fries to come out earlier so we could dip them into all the leftover sauces from the table . To finish, we shared the sundae with the works and wow… we all immediately wished we’d ordered our own. The fried/caramelized banana alone deserves its own fan club. Service was fantastic, the energy was perfect for a celebration, and every single person left happy and full. Highly recommend for a special night out. Especially if you’re celebrating something big. We’ll absolutely be back."

"I'm so happy this place has opened. Classic good Italian American old school seafood done right. Hit every note for me that I needed. Atmosphere was cozy and perfect. Great place for a night out. Get the lobster."

"The new Bomb Bomb is absolutely out of this world! Everything was fantastic and the service was friendly without being over bearing. We had the shrimp oreganato, clams casino, muscles fra diablo, & stuffed calamari (perfection!!), the carbonara pasta, grilled broccoli, and the sundae! Nothing was a miss! We'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. The drinks were fab too!! 5 stars!"
