Looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows at Bambara, Cambridge, locals and visitors alike feel immediately at ease in the lively and inviting 170-seat dining room. San Francisco-based Puccini Restaurant Group designed the restaurant with cozy booths, a chic cocktail lounge, outdoor dining and a grand open kitchen in a palette of cool blues and rich jewel tones. The result is a smart, urbane atmosphere, where diners feel as welcome in business suits as they do in blue jeans.
