Welcome to 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.
