Best Italian place in Austin, period. The food is bonkers amazing…definitely at the quality level of the Italian Market in Philadelphia.
The last time my wife and I went was for Lunch on Friday…there was an amazing party vibe inside! They even had live music.
Tremendous all around. I love this place.
First thing to be noted is this restaurant is incredibly loud and cramped. This used to be a hamburger spot and it’s set up exactly the same, they should add some kind of insulation or something to help soften the noise. I could hardly hear the wait staff or even my girlfriend who was sitting right next to me.
We started with espresso martinis, which their house one comes with Sambuca and that’s basically the only taste you get—not a fan.
For food we started with the meatballs, these were excellent with a rich sauce, 3 to an order.
Also got the warm burrata because burrata is my gfs favorite lol. She was not a fan of the warm burrata and felt like it would’ve been much better just served the normal way of cold lol, to me it was like Italian queso.
We shared a Caesar salad, which was definitely a good idea-it was pretty large. The salad was also probably my favorite item and dinner 10/10.
For entrees we ordered the lasagna and the chicken parmigiana. The lasagna was pretty good but the chicken parm was not. The bottom was soggy and had a weird taste, maybe oil from it being cooked?
We told our waitress Mallory about our dissatisfaction with the chicken parmigiana and she was so great and helpful. We switched it with just spaghetti (what my gf wanted) and took it to go. Also they gave my gf a dessert with ice cream and a little donut for her birthday as well.
I definitely appreciate Mallory for how she handled our situation. She was great, and had great service all night. Her taking care of us at the end was the icing on the cake. Tbh I would go back probably just for her service alone.
Also got tiramisu to go, ate it the next day and it’s delicious!! Definitely one of the best I’ve ever had, perfectly made
It was an amazing dining experience. The food was stellar and service top notch! I want to go back and have just dessert because I filled up on all the amazing dishes and couldn't eat another bite! Thank you to Chef Ricky and bar staff, where we sat, for an amazing experience. We will back again and again!
