    It's Italian is clearly the best Italian restaurant in Austin, Texas. It is beautiful and the food is authentic with everything that is made on site. We love it and we love Al Fini, It's Italian's owner. We have never ever had a less than perfect meal there. We like to go there for special occasions and sometimes take friends.
