Our Team

Owner

Coming from a family who loves the art of cooking and eating. Joey grew up in his parent’s restaurant learning how to cook and serve at a young age. Innately loving food and hospitality, Joey found himself immersed in the family business at 19. He continued to learn from his parents and eventually opened his first restaurant in Lilburn in 2005. Shortly afterwards he opened two more restaurants, in Roswell and Midtown. Joey can be found working hard for his employees and community, motivated by his passion for food and more importantly his drive to have an impact. He enjoys our lasagna and Greek salad. On his time off he can be found enjoying an old fashion or spending time with his lovely wife and two wrestlers.

As a native from Atlanta, Haley started with Bambinelli’s in 2015. She is a hardworking and dedicated young lady. She is motivated by her love for hospitality and her passion for our customers. Haley can be found enjoying our pizza and Blackberry Martini on her days off. She also enjoys exploring Georgia on hikes, her favorite spot is Stone Mountain.

Joe began his time with Bambinelli’s in 2006, shortly after the opening of our location in Lilburn. He first started as a dishwasher and delivery driver before serving, cooking, and eventually moving to management. Joe has spent years working with and learning from both Bonnie and Joey Bambinelli. He enjoys the challenge of operating a busy restaurant while finding ways to uphold and improve upon the traditions of what has made Bambinelli’s a special place and local favorite for decades. Joe is a father of two, enjoys music, nature, and prefers the quiet of the countryside over city life.

Raised in Kenya, Erick was a part of the Kenyan national rugby team before joining our team here at Bambinellis. He was able to use his teamwork and leadership skills to grow into a management role at Bambinelli’s. His favorite meal is the chicken parmigiana. On his time off he enjoys our strawberry margarita, and spending time with his wife.
