Ciccio Bomba will open a large bakery and eatery on South Lamar

March 26, 2026

Ciccio Bomba confirmed plans to establish a substantial bakery and eatery on South Lamar, bringing its concept to a new Austin address. The move marks a step up from the temporary operations the brand ran downtown earlier this year.

Those short-term downtown locations operated as previews, allowing Austinites to sample the menu and the bakery's offerings. The pop-ups were small and temporary, but they served as a public introduction to what the permanent South Lamar site will provide.

Tom Segura, known for his work in acting and comedy, is a co-owner along with Gianbattista and Marlo Vinzoni. The three partners have been positioning the brand for a larger footprint in Austin by testing demand through the downtown pop-ups.

The South Lamar venue is described as a large bakery and eatery, combining baked goods with a full dining program. That layout suggests the location will handle higher customer volume than the temporary sites and offer a broader selection than a single-purpose shop.

Locating on South Lamar places Ciccio Bomba in a busy corridor with a mix of established restaurants and new concepts. The addition is likely to increase options for residents and visitors looking for Italian-inspired bakery items and prepared meals.

Ciccio Bomba’s temporary downtown presence gave neighborhood diners an early look at the food and the service model. Those pop-ups signaled an intent to move from trial operations to a permanent, larger establishment on South Lamar, where the brand can operate at scale.

The company has used the short-term locations to introduce itself to the Austin market and build anticipation for the South Lamar opening. Further details about the exact location and opening timeline have not been released with this announcement.
