Westville was created by answering a few simple questions, or what should have been simple questions: Where can we go eat the foods we love, food we cook at home prepared simply and tastefully?
Where is there an understated, yet sophisticated, refined, not pretentious place in this town? Where can we eat the freshest food at reasonable prices?

We could not find it.

At this point, the creation of Westville (and Westville east) was a relatively easy/organic process.

The menu was in our minds, the feel and look was how we lived.

Westville, at 210 W10th St. was opened in May 03. From opening day, until today, and if our good fortune continues, tomorrow customers will keep lining up for Westville food.

Our philosophy is simple: to share our passion for the hand-made meats, cheeses, and artisinal bread we serve with as many people as possible. To ensure the most gratifying eating experience, we choose the finest ingredients for our cuisine. We use a couple of different varieties of prosciutto, such as smoked (speck) and un-smoked (Di Parma); our salumi range from mild to strong, and our cheeses are both fresh and aged—all offered with our own selection of flavorful homemade condiments. Our Italian ciabbatina bread is baked each day, exclusively for our panini and crostini.

The menu at Il Bambino represents food in its finest form, showcasing the best ingredients that can be found and marrying them together in a way that is simple, natural, and barely manipulated. The small but precise selection of unique wines and beer on offer serve to compliment our food.
