TRUSSVILLE – Tamburro’s Italian Home announced in June that the former staple Italian restaurant of the Trussville community would be returning after 13 years with a renewed name, a fresh look, but boasting Dick Tamburro’s original recipes that many people fondly remember.
Now, new owner Kyleen Kramer, who is Dick Tamburro’s daughter, has announced that the restaurant is now hiring for all positions. In order to apply, visit the restaurant, located at former Seafood and Chicken Box location at 5954 Chalkville Mountain Road, #200, or email Kyleen Kramer at TamburrosItalianHome@gmail.com to schedule an appointment.
“The food will be familiar (but) the look will be refreshed; it’s not going to be a carbon-copy of (the original) restaurant,” Kramer said. “But it’s just so steeped in family, it is what it is. We’re going to have our wall, when you walk in to the left, it’s going to be (photos of) friends and family. Obviously, it’s just going to start with pictures of family, and then as we have customers who come, we’ll add them to our wall of friends and family.”
As for the food, Kramer and Tamburro said they will have all the traditional Italian foods, including, among other things, pastas, chicken parmesan, lasagna and manicotti.
“It’s basically going to be a traditional menu, and then we’re going to run specials on Friday and Saturday night – just different things to see what hits and what doesn’t hit,” Kramer said. “We’re going to have several desserts, but we’re going to have mini cannoli as opposed to the big ones, and the plan is to have seasonal flavors, which a lot of people don’t do. Maybe a chocolate-mint one at Christmastime, or a pumpkin one in the fall; something like that.”
Speaking of desserts, Kramer said she also plans to bring back Tamburro’s famous crème brulee, which they fire for guests at the table – another thing that makes Tamburro’s stand out from the competition.
“I’m so excited,” Kramer said. “I can’t wait!”
If all goes according to plan, Tamburro’s Italian Home will be opening to the public mid-August 2023. Hours of operation will be Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and closed on Monday.
