Wonderful service. The limoncello spritz was refreshing and the wines are devine. Enjoyed the special of the day “ravioli porcini” which featured a rich cream sauce and delicious mushrooms with ricotta stuffed ravioli - cooked perfectly al dente. Espresso martinis to end cap our meal. Will definitely be back again.

I’m writing this review mainly because our server, Hayle, was amazing. We (6 of us) decided to dine here for an early dinner on a Friday before a show at the Long Center; we had a reservation for 5 PM. My sister mentioned to her that we had to get to a show before 7, and Hayle got us in and out in an hour and a half. Not only was she so friendly and bubbly, she was also professional and super knowledgeable about the menu. I just loved her vibe. She was fast and attentive, and she was able to recommend some great drinks, pizzas, and dessert.We all got drinks and a few pizzas to share, and everything was so delicious. The Funghi Tartufati pizza was our favorite. I’m glad we were there early because I heard this place gets packed. Since this was my first time here, I’m definitely saving this ristorante so we can come back again. Highly recommend it! (Posted April 2024)

We had a lovely dinner here, we ate outside on the pavement terrace. The food was tasty, atmosphere charming, and the service very friendly. I would strongly recommend booking a table as it was extremely busy when we went on a Friday night.
I’ve lived downtown for almost 14 years and I’m sorry I didn’t try this restaurant sooner. However, now that we’ve become acquainted we will be seeing each other more often. Great atmosphere, lovely service, and most importantly delicious food.I will be back for more. My enteee of choice tonight was Chicken Parmigiana. My wife enjoyed the Chicken Piccata. Both were excellent.
Delicious food! It interior reminds be of bistros in Paris. Friendly server, but she didn’t know anything about their wine.

We tried this place after seeing the glowing reviews but we felt the food could have been better.I had the triple P pasta, my husband had the eggplant parm. Neither of them were anything to write about.We got the focaccia and the house bread, again very average tasting.For dessert we got the chocolate torte and the tiramisu.Out of the 6 dishes we tried, the only one worth remembering was the chocolate torte.For a $200 meal, this wasn’t it!

Best true Italian food I’ve had in awhile! The service was amazing, food was fantastic and everything is reasonably priced for Austin! The (owner/manager I’m assuming) had great reccomendations and was really friendly. We will be back!!
I tried a different dish this go around, Pappardelle Porcini & Speck, and it was great, but I did not like it as much as the Rigatoni dish I had last time. I think the mushrooms could have had a little more flavor. Other than that, it was a great dining experience.
We got all of our food except one. He ordered the pork chop. The waitress forgot To put that order in but tried to play it off as it took longer to cook. We were all done by the time It came out and it was still cold in the middle and raw. She comped the meal and gave him a free dessert. I was disappointed as I have eaten here several times and have never been Disappointed. She seemed distracted all night and overall her attention to us was not great.

Yet another fabulous dining experience. The food is always fresh and authentic. The service prompt but not rushed. The ambiance takes me back to a cafe in Italy. I took 4 out of town friends and they also raved about the food.

Great restaurant with some of the best Italian that most of the city has yet to explore. Owner is a great guy very helpful with wine choices (insider). I will gladly be going back to this restaurant at least once a month. Great food, location, and service!

You can tell the owner is super passionate about his beautiful restaurant and was very accommodating and actually serving people outside. While our server was nice, she was very quiet and not very engaging and it took at least 10 minutes just to get water. When we finally got to order, the food came out quickly and was very good.
