Tinker BellJuly 21, 2017Omg what isn't.... the Shrimp Scampi was amazing and the Lasagna Bolognese was so rich and creamy. For dessert we shared Cioccolato e Ciliegie. Please come try it you will not be disappointed
Michael AtkinsonDecember 11, 2015Outstanding bistro! Great food, service, ambiance of a well worn tavern. I had the Bolognese and the mozzarella salad. Four stars for sure. Can't wait to bring my wife here.
Austin ChronicleJune 19, 2013The comfy bar, great service, and dazzling display of antipasti near the front door lure us in, and the pasta and heirloom tomatoes do the rest. A perennial favorite of our readers.
JenKuduMay 1, 2016The VESPA is perfectly balanced cocktail with a little heat. Butternut squash ravioli, cacio e pepe (my fave) and bolognese are wonderful. Excellent Italian food.
Sissy DJanuary 5, 2014Amazing Ahi Tuna appetizer that comes with several condiments. Ask for extra endive if you can't eat bread. Delicious Veal Saltimbocca (before I went gluten free).
Stone SladeJanuary 18, 2014I got the mixed grill and it was awesome. Sat at the bar to avoid the hour wait. Tom the bartender gives phenomenal service.
Andy EllisJune 20, 2017Homemade pasta, freshness that is apparent. Authentic Italian in Texas, it's a gem.
Rene’ A. MontalvoFebruary 1, 2022Their Pizza is out of this world. A wee too long to get our order for all three pies.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014James Holmes, chef of Lucy's Fried Chicken, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Tartare di tonno. Read more
Jon ChristoffersenJune 2, 2013It doesn't seem like there's a way to choose poorly from their menu. Also, some of the best desserts you'll ever have.
- Allen PomeroyOctober 23, 2021Bartenders Tom & Joshua deserve 5 stars.Owner gets 0 stars.My wife had an encounter with a male staff member in the ladies restroom and the owner defended the staff member and was rude and dismissive.
Shane MericleApril 7, 2013Your best experience is if you come prepared to enjoy a multi course meal.
James HemsleyApril 7, 2010Have the raviolini with goat cheese. Fantastic sauce with just the right amount of heat. The cheese is fantastic, too!
Monique AucheyApril 10, 2010Mozarella antipasta plate...server was excellent...she added more olives & extra cheese. We liked it so much we ordered a second.
Patrick QSeptember 5, 2010If Jessie is in the back you are golden! Schrimp with prosciutto is killer! Great wine selection.
CJOWApril 6, 2011Saltimbocca might mean "jump in your mouth", but it doesnt mean its good. risoto and soft shell crab were much better- gabriel dJanuary 30, 2011Saltimbocca is heavenly delicious. Mean "jumps in mouth" and it truly does.
Luciana MisuraMarch 16, 2010My favorite Italian restaurant in Austin, just stay away from their risotto. Everything else I tried was good.
Order the Rigatoni con Polpete. It's a pasta dish that will make you weep it's so good!
Stephen DanielsJanuary 10, 2010The oyster appetizer and cioppino were fantastic. Reid was knowledgeable and on top of the service.
adam lescalleetApril 7, 2009if risotto is on the menu: GET IT. it takes a bit of time to cook, but well worth the wait.
Trevor JohnJanuary 14, 2013Don't bother the food didn't have any flavor besides salt. To be fair the margarita pizza wasn't bad but not worth the trip.
