This place is such a dump. It has an awful lingering smell of floor cleaner, the service is awful… he barely spoke to us but when he did it was so rude. Were were charged an extra $5 for them to bring an extra plate… the food was WAY overpriced. We should have sent it back and got a frozen Italian meal from the grocery store it would have been better. There was multiple tiny hairs in our bread. Probably the worst experience I have had a restaurant in Austin.

Very nice little spot in Mueller. Intimate dining room with low light and low ceilings, Sinatra style music playing, and charming staff. Food was excellent, pasta is fresh and I had no stomach issues afterward (which usually happens when I eat a large amount of pasta). I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

We ordered four appetizers for cocktails, two entrées, two desserts, and every Single thing was curb. The owner and employees are super friendly and come by and talk and chat with you feels like a family home environment. Everything‘s made from scratch very close setting couldn’t have had a better experience worth every penny! Highly recommend for romantic dates it was the perfect Valentine’s Day location, they also Have another location at Crystal Falls Golf course. This is what a true restaurant experience is supposed to be like true, authentic Italian food!

We came here for a special date night and left so disappointed.The atmosphere alone is great, very intimate and inviting.The service was cold, our server really didn’t seem interested in interacting with us at all, he probably said a total of five words to us the whole night. Then he took our appetizer before we were finished, without asking.The burrata was a total miss. The bread was hardly toasted.Our entrees heavily lacked seasoning. We’ve had better Italian food and service at places like Red Ash Italia. I’d even choose Olive Garden over this place.

Was thinking it would be simular to the Beloved Gino's in Roundrock, but it was definitely different. More set up like a bar, small like 12 tables only... right next to home depot. I have honestly never had such a poor experience as I did tonight. The manager was the only server working, rude and scoffed when my boyfriend declined to eat anything due to heath concerns.The prices were higher and the selection was limited. I was really hoping for that yummy oil and pepper dip for the bread, but the only serve 2 slices.I honestly just ordered a salad. I was really hoping for that homemade salad dressing flavor (from Roundrock).I was very disappointed. Gino's Roundrock is the only atx Gino's I recommend.

Worse experience with service ever . The only female waitress was extremely rude . The restaurant smells like sewage. The food is NOT AUTHENTIC AT ALL . Over priced . I hate olive garden but Olive garden would be way better choice than this horrible place . The restrooms are nasty as heck. More like a storage room . Smelled like dirty baby diapers. The bread was horrible and tasted 3 weeks old….. the drinks are absolutely digestible. Might as well drank water from a hose. The owner of this establishment should be ashamed of themselves. SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME AND MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE .
Food was good, chicken fettuccine(chicken alittle tough) but sauce was great. Bruchetta was delicious. Nice waiter, but wasn't super attentive. Nice cozy restaurant.

Unreal. I would have gotten better food at Olive Garden. Instead, I paid over $00 for a chicken parm, chicken picatta and an appetizer all of which were completely unimpressive. I lived in Italy, NYC and Boston so I know Italian food. Austin has a dearth of Italian restaurants. This was truly pathetic. What a ripoff.

This is my first Texas review, and it's amazing! The atmosphere is exactly what I was looking for. Service was amazing, but the food! The food was some of the best that I have had in a very long time. I will definitely be back.
