    If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine in Austin, Quattro Gatti is an absolute gem. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner or a relaxed lunch. The owner, who is Italian, adds a genuine touch of hospitality to the experience—he’s incredibly kind and attentive, making you feel more like a guest in his home than a customer in a restaurant. I had the pizza with mushrooms, and it was fantastic. The crust was perfectly crisp with just the right amount of chew, the tomato sauce had a beautiful freshness, and the mushrooms added a rich earthiness that balanced the flavors perfectly. Simple, but executed flawlessly—exactly how great Italian food should be. To complement the meal, I had a cold beer and finished with an amaro. The beer was refreshing and paired well with the pizza, and the amaro was the perfect digestif—smooth, bitter, and aromatic. Highly recommend this place if you’re after true Italian flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!

    Another fabulous brunch at June’s All Day! We love the surprise pastries every visit … we tried the buckwheat scone with blueberry jam and the coffee pistachio babka. Amazing. You can never go wrong with the breakfast chalupa and farm egg omelette. Great service, as always.
