   We almost didn’t go inside the restaurant, but after we ordered and received our food we were beyond amazed. My fish entre was the best dish i have tasted in over a year. The chef came over to greet and talk to us and we were treated as if we were already great friends. Best dining experience in our time in North Carolina. Recommended to all

   The food and service was fantastic! The menu had wide variety flavors and ingredients. Bombolo is one of my favorite restaurants in Chapel Hill.

   Wonderful food and service. It’s a bit noisy, but still a nice atmosphere. Food from several traditions were offered - we ended up with Mexican, Thai, and Italian dishes. All great. Nice wine list, as well. Highly recommended.

   We are from the DC suburbs and are in Chapel Hill visiting for the weekend. This very small restaurant is deceiving from the outside but totally charming inside. The menu is small but very thoughtful, innovative and well executed. My husband and I got the red snapper and our friend got the chicken main plates - and they are absolutely delicious.

   Food was wonderful. Would have appreciated a larger menu, a few more choices. Service was excellent. Wine suggestion was perfect.

   Great Mussels and Frites dinner from former owner/chef Barrows from Kitchen. Dinner was paired with wines from Orsini wines and provided a perfect combination for an overall lovely evening.

    The Pate and Mussels with Thai Curry were perfect as were the Apple Tartin and Pot au Crème. The wine pairings were perfect. I say that despite these wines not being among my usual choices. It’s always good to have something different. Our server did a great job in a hectic environment. We went early so it was not noisy for most of our meal, but the noise level rose by 7PM and talking was getting difficult.
