Have you ever heard of a bambino? This dish is essentially a flaky and crispy food pocket that is filled with various fillings. You may find them very similar to a small calzone. Sounds delicious, right? Well, fortunately, you don’t have to travel the world for this incredible cuisine. You can enjoy some of the world’s best bambinos right here in Rigby, Idaho.
The Great Bambino is located on Stockham Boulevard in Rigby. This restaurant’s first owners came to Idaho from Argentina in 1977 and opened the La Pizzeria on Rigby Main Street. Here, the idea of the bambino was born.
While The Great Bambino has changed ownership over the years, each owner has only helped this dish get better and the restaurant grow stronger. Today, this restaurant's bambinos are well known and definitely worth trying.
When you visit The Great Bambino, you’ll find quite an assortment of bambinos on the menu. There's everything from a classic bambino - which is stuffed with Canadian bacon, pepperoni, cheese, and sauce - to a shrimp bambino filled with shrimp, onion, cheese, and a savory sauce.
You can order your bambino on its own or as a meal, which includes fries or a side salad and bottled water or soda. And if you want to add a second bambino, it’s only a few cents more.
While many guests come to The Great Bambino for the famous bambinos, there are other tasty items on the menu that you won’t want to overlook. Try one of the pasta dishes …
