Another one of our all time favorite restaurants from these killer restaurateurs! High Italian cuisine at the highest quality all the way around in food, service and experience! Love love love everything they do! We’ve enjoyed their effort for over 25 years and can’t say enough good things about their product and experience! A must when in downtown Austin!

It's Italian Cucina NEVER disappoints! The manager and owner are always there to greet with a smile and kind words. The ambiance is fantastic - cozy, quaint and classy. The food is absolutely delicious! The service is amazing as well. My husband and I (as well as all of our friends that we have introduced to this restaurant ) have never had a bad experience. Top the evening off with an espresso martini! Highly recommend It's Italian Cucina!

Overall great dining experience. We loved the appetizers (ahi tuna, bruschetta, focaccia bread) and our main entrees (rigatoni, gnocchi, spaghetti bolognese). Service was highly attentive and friendly. We look forward to returning soon.

Made a reservation and sat down right down at the scheduled time with no wait. From the solid time management to the phenomenal service, my girlfriend and I enjoyed Italian Cucina. Food was as good as other reviews stated it was and the server was very knowledgeable of their menu and what drinks paired the best. Definitely recommend visiting this restaurant and fully expect to return myself.

I made dinner reservations for our board members. Several from NYC. They were blown away by the service, meal & dining experience! The owner is very passionate about his restaurant and it definitely shows. Thank you for making me a "rockstar"!
A second visit to the sweet Italian Cochina. You are welcomed at the door and you feel like you have been transported to a small neighborhood restaurant. With over 300 wines on offering and a delicious menu. Can't wait to return. Chow Bella
The food was good, but the menu wasn't something to write about. Strong chances I came during a menu rotation, that just didn't call me.  I am far from Italian, food bougie, but I feel it could've been done better. Atmosphere is great for a second date, but not a first dessert was good. 4.2/5
Just moved to Austin from Philadelphia where Italian food is a staple. We've tried to find an Italian restaurant that taste as good as what we are used too over the past few months and this BY FAR is the best in town. Wonderful staff, perfect taste, and amazing plating. We are so happy to have a place to call home moving forward!

Our favorite Austin Italian restaurant. We eat there before Austin Symphony performances. It is on our way, and offers easy parking. Food is great, as is wine list. Now they have added cioppino to their menu, so we will be going there more often.

I am soooo glad that I happened upon this restaurant. It was the perfect place for my son's birthday. Al was awesome. Gabe was the best. We loved everything we tried and we tried ALOT. We will be back.
