“ My wife and I had dinner here after an event nearby. I booked the reservation last minute after reading other reviews. Our meal was absolutely wonderful. The attention to detail was apparent throughout the meal. The Chicken Parmigiana was crispy and delicious. The Crispy Polenta was appetizer a great way to start off our meal. We will definitely be back again. ”
“ The food here is amazing. There are daily specials and that's what we went for. The turnip soup and field salad were perfectly balanced with flavor, freshness, and seasonal produce. The ravioli were vegetarian and bomb, but what really impressed me was the service. We arrived 20 minutes before closing and were enthusiastically greeted and welcomed. They let us sit outside and it was a beautiful night on their patio. The server was cheerful and not overattentive and did not rush us. One of the best experiences I've had eating out in Austin. ”
“ I truly enjoyed my dinner. I don't remember the last time I've finished my whole plate of food. My pasta was super good and the fries were well seasoned. My friend's Mac& cheese balls were good as well. And the tiramisu was exactly what I needed to end my wonderful dinner. ”
“ Pleasant lunch place. We started with a Caesar salad. A bit different than usual presentation wise, it's was whole lettuce leaves but it was good nonetheless because each ones were coated with the seasoning. Our entree were the Fettuccine with Mushrooms and Spaghetti with Tomato & Basil with a side of chicken. First one had nice earthy flavor but a little too saucy for my taste. Second one was flavorful in a way it was letting the tomatoes and basil shine. I am not sure if it was the normal, but the amount of "side" chicken was huge and that made the portion quite a challenge to finish! I didn't mind though since I was starving. Lastly we had a Tiramisu. To me it lack coffee flavor and there was too much mascarpone compare to the lady fingers. ”
“ I had the Clam special today. The Chef has a gift! It was so amazing, and my Server Donna was perfection. Thank you all for a great experience. ”
“ We showed up late to our reservation and was in a hurry because we had something else booked after. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Food came out fast and was delicious! ”
“ We shared a plate of shrimp pasta, and it was amazing. I haven't enjoyed a pasta dish that much in a long time. We'll absolutely be going back. ”
“ Went here for dinner during Austin Restaurant Week 2022. Absolutely a wonderful experience. Atmosphere is cozy and contemporary, staff were very attentive. Crispy polenta was fabulous. Fettuccine with Portabella and Cremini mushrooms was delicious.. fettuccine perfectly cooked, mushrooms were nice and earthy, and oh the sauce :) I will definitely be back. Nice a selection of wines, too. ”
