Bambini Ice Cream

About

Bambini Ice-cream, where a legacy of authentic Italian ice-cream making began in 1882 in Germany.


Our founder, Bortolo Belfi, ignited a family tradition that has flourished through five generations. In 1994, Luca's

parents, Miguel and Constance, brought this cherished heritage to South Africa, adapting their family recipes to

delight local taste buds. They established *La Veneziana* in Magaliesburg, and in 1999, built a dedicated

ice-cream factory, with young Luca lending a hand from the age of three.


In 2020, Luca took the helm, rebranding the beloved La Veneziana to Bambini Ice-cream, meaning "children" in Italian—a tribute to the joy and creativity of childhood. This name embodies the warmth of our family tradition, passed down through generations. At Bambini, we honor our lineage by crafting incomparable ice-cream from real ingredients, guided by the wisdom of our ancestors. Experience the joy of Bambini

Ice-cream, where every scoop tells a story of our family history and passion.

"Amazing facilities, great experience."

"We absolutely loved the entire event ?? definitely got amazing flavours of ice cream & definitely our monies worth as well. Loved that there were food stalls and animals to visit. Maybe for the next event, definitely more seating and food stalls a bit more spaced out as it did get quite crowded. But overall we really loved the event & was for sure a great day. Thank you to all that were involved in organizing and hard work for the event ?? "

"The ice cream tasting was just fabulous! Just WAY too much ice cream for one person. If I had a better idea of the portion size, I would've only bought one ticket for the three of us. Luckily there were people at our party without tickets, so I was able to share without wasting anything. The line to collect was long and in the sun on a scorcher of a day, but the ice cream was frozen solid. It was refreshing in the heat. The ice cream itself was lovely. I realise that it's a matter of personal taste, but I don't think that mac & cheese has any business in an ice cream. Enjoyed the slight peppery after taste though. All the other creamy flavours were very nice, but the vanilla, olive oil and sea salt was extremely salty. The vanilla was nowhere to be found, it was just salt left, right and centre with a hint of olive oil afterwards. Inedible really. Now for my favourites - pineapple and mint! Yum!!! The apricot, the aloe water and surprisingly the Redbull. All delicious! Loved the sorbets! All in all a great experience. If I encounter Bambini at a next event I will definitely be tasting again. Thank you for introducing my pallet to new ice cream flavours."

"My family and I TOTALLY enjoyed the event on Saturday! Thank you!!! The ice-cream was packed and handled and distributed professionally, plus it was delicious! The staff were super friendly and helpful! The venue was awesome! We've never been there before, but it will definitely not be our last time - we're already planning a weekend out there to enjoy more of the venue and what they have to offer! The entertainment was stunning. The sets could have been a bit longer, but that's just us being greedy for more of what they were offering ;-) Well done to everyone in making it a most enjoyable day out!"
