While the block of 16th Street around South Van Ness in the dicey heart of the Mission may seem an unlikely spot to find excellent, upscale Italian served in a sophisticated and downright chic setting, Bar Bambino (2931 16th St) has been doing just that, snagging critical accolades right and left along the way. Promising to further ramp up its reputation, Bambino is set to launch the first in a series of monthly wine and cheese tastings, starting this Sunday April 20. The spring-centric offerings include fresh goat and sheep’s milk cheeses paired with wine selections and ample doses of wisdom by owner Christopher Losa. The event runs 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.; $45 per person. Call 701-VINO (8466) for reservations.
