About Bambino
Bambino Austin opened in the heart of East Austin in March 2024 and is the sophomore restaurant from seasoned restaurateur and chef duo Adam Orman and Fiore Tedesco of L’Oca d’Oro. Bambino weaves together the spirit of the 80s with a grown-up sensibility–arguably bringing to life 10-year old Fiore’s vision of a pizzeria. With reverence for the integrity of the dough and ingredient sourcing overall, the pizzeria represents a culmination of Fiore’s life in food, from his start as a pre-teen shaping rolls at a cousin’s bakery through a career in fine dining–all accompanied by 30 years of making fresh mozzarella and a fidelity to excellence.
