This tiny bistro delights with well-executed Italian classics and quaint elegance. Can sometimes be too loud for dinner conversation, but that just adds to the NYC neighborhood trattoria feel. Read more

Absolutely the BEST duck Ever!!!!! Can't believe how good it is! Lots of tryptophan making my serotonins soar! Grilled polenta is delicious too, I can't order anything but duck, so good.

Home made sourdough is excellent, and both of our pastas were fantastic. The rigatoni was cooked perfectly

The spaghetti bolgonese is my favorite. Great service and wine list. One of the best Italian restaurants in Austin.

Cozy seating and big pasta portions. Loved their Calamari Putanesca and Caesar Salad. The mushroom fettuccine was disappointing

Incredible wild salmon entree , like a deconstructed nicoise with healthy wild fish (not tuna). Beyond delicious and satisfying.

Amazing. Chicken parm is the bomb. Paired with their prosecco and the chocolate hazelnut torte and Amy's Mexican vanilla ice cream. Amazing.

Amazing food especially the carbonara.

Supposedly good bolognese and duck dishes...we'll see. The bread chews like it was baked fresh--in August of 1983.
Mauricio SanchesJanuary 20, 2014
The carbonara is a must have.
Jessica WilsonDecember 23, 2011

Make sure you don't need to split checks more than two - otherwise good was good.

The food here is amazing
Amortya RayNovember 29, 2018
Food was okay. But they slid a $4 entree split fee into the check without telling me before hand. I thought that was shady.
