    Authentic Italian. I’ve been looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Austin for 2 years and finally found one. Pescatore pasta special was excellent as was the salmon my wife ordered. Home made bread is absolutely out of this world- they could sell that as a bakery it’s so good. Wine from Umbria was a perfect match. Thank you owners Gianfranco and Renee and server Sandra.

    After learning about this place from the media I couldn’t wait to visit. Two of my friends and I made it a day trip and we’re were no where close to being disappointed! The different ambiences was what I liked most. Our server whose name fails me was attentive but he also knew how to let friends get loud and enjoy each other’s company without interruption.

    The ambiance is fantastic. The old world touches made it feel like you were in some old San Francisco historic building. We sat at the bar because that is all that was left, but I feel like if a restaurant is going to offer bar seating for your meals, they should have more comfortable stools with backs. They currently have just a round, wooden and small seat with no back. Our service provider was behind the bar and very friendly and attentive. The menu is small, but has some great dishes listed. We had the cesar salad with crab cake and the spaghettini with lobster. Both were great. We also got a side of the zucchini, which we did not enjoy, and the Japanese bread rolls, which were good. We opted for cocktails, which were good, but also wanted to check out the other bar at the back. We thought those drinks were great too! Also, the complementary valet is a must. There are really no other options for parking.
