    Service, food, atmosphere and patience was incredible. There was even an epic storm outside and then staff remained calm and attentive. Always so impressed.

    We had high hopes for L’Oca D’Oca, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. Despite having a reservation, we waited at the front for over 5–7 minutes with multiple staff members walking past us without any acknowledgment. It wasn’t until a large group arrived behind us that anyone felt the need to check us in. I ordered an iced tea that never came. When I asked about it during our dinner order, I was told it still needed to be brewed and would take another 15 minutes. It felt like they wouldn’t have mentioned it at all if I hadn’t followed up. I canceled it—but then it was dropped off anyway, and even though they said it was “on the house,” it still showed up on the bill. On top of that, they tack on a 3% credit card fee and an automatic 20% service charge, which just added to the overall feeling of being nickel-and-dimed. I always tip generously—25% is my norm—because I truly value great service and know how hard the job can be. I don’t expect anyone to be over-the-top or inauthentic, but I do expect promptness, basic acknowledgment, and care. Unfortunately, L’Oca D’Oca really missed the mark. I’ll be sticking with Juniper or Red Ash for Italian in Austin—better food, far better service.

    Everything was fantastic! The only issue I had was that the menu was advertised as family style but the portion size did not reflect that. I would definitely recommend visiting as the food was incredible despite light portions.

    The service team does a really nice job. They are very polite & information. Our food was very good. (We had one hick-up and the amended the issue immediately.) Bravo! We will be back.

    Richard, I love hearing that we solved an issue. That's almost an even better review than when everything goes perfectly. Thanks for mentioning that and giving us the opportunity to recover. Look forward to having you back in again soon, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    Was disappointed in Mother's Day brunch. My first time to this restaurant and very pricey for food received. Mimosas not even included and was charged extra for coffee. Worst Mother's Day brunch I've had in a long time, music was too loud and should have been conducive to the occasion. Will not be returning and don't recommend.
    L'Oca d'OroResponded on May 19, 2025
    Patty, I'm sorry this was your experience and that we didn't know while you were here so we could have tried to bring you some other dishes that you would have enjoyed more. I'm also sorry that you were expecting drinks to be included. We didn't want to give that impression. I hope you'll come back to use your $25off card, maybe during Summer Happy Hours (4-6 & 9-close every day), and try out our regular menu. We'd love the opportunity to change your mind. Take care, Adam Orman, Co-Owner
