Best Italian Restaurants in Austin

What a memorable night! It was worth the wait of having to make a reservation months in advance. We dined on a Friday evening and there was such a synergy to the entire restaurant. Even the Chef on expo looked so at ease with tickets flying in, he stopped and said hi to a smiling baby. Our server Kevin made us feel welcomed and as if we were the only table he was serving, just flawless. The steak cut like butter, it was perfect and highly recommend. The gnocchi reminded me of the last time I was in Italy, just delicious fluffy pillows. Our 9 year old had the Bolognese and it was bursting with flavor which was unexpected but delightful. We also had the meatballs and garlic bread, a perfect way to start the meal. Save room for dessert, you will not be disappointed. The only criticism was that our table was by the entry door and it was drafty and cold. I had to keep my jacket on during dinner, but other than that we look forward to returning in March!

The most perfect fifth anniversary dinner we could have imagined. From the front desk to the table absolute wonderful service. Drinks, food, dessert was perfection. Don’t skip the Parker rolls!

The food was good, we both enjoyed the dishes we ordered. We both are non-drinkers and ordered diet Cokes. They came to our table completely flat and watered down. When we told our waitress, she responded that they looked off to her but that is how the soda gun always dispenses so she suggested lemonade or water. You are charging over $30 for entrees and the only non-alcoholic options are water or lemonade? The women’s restroom needs attention. One stall doesn’t lock because part of the locking mechanism was ripped from the wall and was sitting on the floor of the stall. The other stall was dirty and looked like it hadn’t been serviced in a while.

Food was excellent. Service was excellent; there when you needed them and not when you didn’t.  The Caesar Alla Tommy salad is definitely a must.

It was a very cute restaurant. The truffle cheesy garlic bread is the best Italian food appetizer I’ve ever had, and the drinks were really good.
