Bambinos Rough Draft

Born and raised in New York, owner and chef Jey Vitta made his way down to Austin in hopes of starting his own business. With only an idea and family recipes, Vitta launched into the industrial world and after only nine months of construction, Bambinos was born.
The dimly lit restaurant, romantic jazz, and trendy location accommodate all age groups. At this mafia-themed Italian Deli, it is hard not to feel like part of a crime scene. Decorated with mug shots of John Dillinger, Al Capone and a life-like mannequin of mobster Frankie Four Fingers, Bambinos keeps true to its era of rebellion and Prohibition.
Although the deliciously fresh tasting sandwiches and signature Sammy Spread are all incredible, the main focus is on the house specialty, The Godfather. Known as the sandwich “you can't refuse”, The Godfather's mix of smoked ham, turkey, hard salami, pepperoni, pepperoncinis and all the veggies you could want are truly to die for.
Besides the extremely tasty sandwiches, Bambinos' friendly and attentive crew makes the visit a more enjoyable one. A major inconvenience was the search for a descent parking spot. Bambinos location on Guadalupe can be both a pro and con but for the most part, The fast paced service and reasonably low prices finish the perfect meal.
Coming soon to Bambinos’ is the upstairs deck that will be used for live music and events. Vitta hopes to create an entertaining and jazzy environment that will satisfy all sorts of crowds.
