   We went for my daughter’s birthday and had a wonderful experience. The food was amazing. Service was great, from the host to the waiter and even those who brought the food! We will definitely be back even though it is 45 minutes from home.

   I will never eat here again. Maybe the worst food I’ve had in Austin in awhile. I wish I could do more to inform people of how tragic this place is. The fact that people eat here tells me more than I need to about the diners in Austin.

   delicious, accomodating. they pay their staff a living wage so 20% is added onto the bill automatically.

   The best food in Austin. I love this place. Try the mozzarella!

   L'Oca d'OroResponded on July 28, 2022Sallie, That is high praise. Thank you. We are proud of our mozzarella and you can be sure it will be on the menu next time you're in but, likely, with a different presentation. We love changing the mozzarella with the seasons. Be well, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    We had such an amazing experience -- even better than the first time we'd been there! I can't get over the roasted eggplant on the menu; it was phenomenal. Specifically, the amount of people who came by our table to either run food, bring new dishes, clean up crumbs, etc. was quite impressive. Service like that in these times is super hard to come by and does not go unnoticed. Each little detail was attended to and it elevated our whole dining experience. Thank you!

    L'Oca d'OroResponded on July 28, 2022Casey, I'm so glad you had such a nice evening. The Eggplant Parm is always a little different each summer. It's good to hear that you like this version. Look forward to having you back in again soon. Be well, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    L'Oca d'OroResponded on July 24, 2022Samantha, We think the food and the service are the most important parts of your night too but, maybe next time, you'll be able to enjoy the bar or patio and have a different experience. Look forward to having you back in. Be well, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    Really vegetarian friendly menu. Everything is made from scratch and tastes that way. Super fresh and delicious. We ordered one of every dessert because they all sounded so good and that might have been my favorite part of the meal. Fun place for a date night or celebration.

    L'Oca d'OroResponded on July 24, 2022Elle, So glad you enjoyed and thank you for taking the time to review. Look forward to having you back in to try new desserts (though the tiramisu will probably never change!). Be well, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    L'Oca is our favorite place to eat in Mueller and we recently took some friends who had never been. The staff is extraordinary and rivals the level of service at some of the "fancy" places we've been. We love that almost everything is made in-house and the menu is constantly evolving.

    We dined outside and had a lovely experience. I could see how it could be a bit noisy inside though. Food was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. The house made pasta was out of this world. Portion sizes were not too large but very satisfying. Service was excellent with our friendly server giving us the perfect recommendations as to what and how much to order. Will definitely visit again.

    Loca d’Oro is my walkable neighborhood restaurant, and I feel like I won the lottery. My friend and I tried all the appetizers and all were top notch. Special mention for the Magic Potatoes, and the beet dip with crackers. They rotate their menu often based on availability. The creativity in the dishes, layering of flavors and gracious service make my trip there a total pleasure every time.

    We love this gem of an Italian eatery, across the street from beautiful Mueller Park. Delicate and masterfully flavorful dishes with a great wine selection, refreshing Italian soda cocktails and a truly professional wait staff.

    Had the tilefish with cooked peppers & onions, fresh green olives, fresh raw basil and fresh tomatoes. Seemed an odd combination that should not have worked together. but it wasn't bad. Everyone mentioned their food was over salted. I liked that ingredients were sustainable and locally sourced, but the portions were very small and I ended up eating again at home a couple hours later. Service was fine but I would not go back.

    L'Oca d'OroResponded on July 24, 2022Vicky, Thank you for coming in. The menu changes frequently. Perhaps, next time you can come in for a snack at the bar or we can help point you toward dishes that would be more satisfying.

    Overall, the food is amazing, definite worth going to fill your belly. We did have a couple hiccups regarding our reservation. We had a reservation for 815P on Friday, unfortunately we were told our table wasn't ready on arrival, but to wait just 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, we asked again, we were told once more, "10 minutes." This went on until we had been waiting an hour. We eventually caved and sat outside though we hoped to be in the dining room for the ambience on a hot night. We had great service and were treated well by staff, the only disappointment was not have our reservation honored and feeling crazy that the hostess kept tell us, "10 more minutes."

    L'Oca d'OroResponded on June 13, 2022Jed, I'm glad that you enjoyed once we were able to get you to a table. That is definitely not how we typically operate and we appreciate your patience. Your feedback and experience has already contributed to productive conversations. We're glad we recovered and made sure you had a good experience. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
