Come for the extraordinary food and enjoy the beauty of a cozy neighborhood and the most wonderful hosts. This place is magical especially if you are lucky to be seated in the their coveted parklette with colorful umbrellas.

Service was the highlight and it was clear everyone really worked together as a team.
Focaccia tasted a little burnt.
Beef carpaccio was good.
Cavatelli was a comically small portion.
Chicken Milanesa was a comically large portion. It also had mint on it, had that been listed on the menu, I wouldn’t have ordered it. The beets and cilantro yogurt were good though.
20% service charge included and shared with whole staff which I think is great.

Service was fantastic. I like friendly. Food was creative and delicious. Area is trendy. Great for a special date.

Overall a very good restaurant with very good dishes (though limited selection) as well as good wine, beer, and cocktails. Certainly will visit again.

It was absolutely incredible experience. Everything was perfect and cannot wait to go back!

Fantastic food and great service. Recommend to others

Welcome back L'oca Team! We are so glad to have the neighborhood's best restaurant back in action!

Absolutely wonderful - one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.

Excellent food and drinks. Great atmosphere! Had a lovely celebratory dinner. Favorites were the Cavatelli, green beans, and brioche with cream and strawberries. Homemade amaro cocktails were also a highlight!

I've been meaning to come here for a while, and finally made it with my bestie for my birthday dinner. Lovely wine list, delicious food, attentive service, it was an absolute treat!

Lovely dinner for our anniversary. Complimentary champagne, great service. Food was delicious.

The food and drinks are always top notch and the service is friendly and welcoming.

Delicious food and wonderful staff. It’s always a treat!

A lovely meal, every single time. Highly recommend. Great for casual weekday dinner with friends or a special night out.

Not really worth the cost. Just a simple Italian meal; nothing special.

L'Oco d'Oro took a thoughtful approach to the pandemic and only recently gently reopened; I had an exceptional dining experience on a beautiful May 2021 Saturday evening, beautiful and delicious food & drinks, fabulous staff & service, lovely outdoor seating design, highly recommended

It was great to be back. The outdoor dining is marvelous and it's great to see the whole crew. Food and drink were perfect as usual.

L'Oca d'Oro is back and as fantastic as ever! Their outdoor patio is adorable and provides a safe dining experience. The food was amazing. Put it at the top of your list!

Nice job setting up outdoor dining. Food is consistently creative and delicious, wait staff friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without hovering. There are so many good options on the menu we over-order and take home left-overs....

We were so happy to be back after a year. The food was even better than I remember and we loved all of the patio seating they’ve set up. The burrata was to die for. Can’t wait to go back.

We felt nice and safe outside on the patio, and it was wonderful to be back with our friends at L'Oca enjoying their awesome food and drinks.

We had an amazing waiter! She was really personable and I wish she gave us her name, so I could add it in this review. Also, the cavatelli, house Negroni, and black pepper gelato are not to be missed - truly incredible.

For those who like both excellence, creativity and everything made with passion, L'Oca d'Oro is THE place. We intentionally went back on the first night they opened and plan to be regulars forever more.

It was perfect. I love this restaurant with all my heart and belly. So happy they’re reopened with an added patio seating area. I had some food restrictions and they made me unbelievably delicious substitutions for those dishes. What a great step back into social life post vax and post new baby.

Wonderful restaurant with exceptional food.

Outstanding service and food!

Wonderful food. Even better than advertised and well worth every penny. The best tiramisu that my fiancée and I have ever had. The service was excellent and was great at giving us recommendations and making sure every item was satisfactory. I would love to come back again.

Still in my top 3 restaurants in Austin.

Excellent food flavors, excellent team service the Pasta’s and risotto are excellent. See where I’m going with this. Only wish I had found this restaurant sooner.

Wow. Rarely have we left a restaurant MAD.

Nice venue. Décor was pleasant. Service was a bit over-attentive, yet not engaging.
We chose the Pasta Tasting and to do so, the whole table had to participate. You assume that this rule is because if some members of your table don’t join in, they will be left out of the wonderfulness. By the end of the meal, it was evident that it the opposite. They have trapped ALL of you into the horrible, overpriced experience.
So, here we go: The food was edible, but gross. I am basing this off the fact that we were able to get our meal down, but nothing was good and a lot of it was disappointing. It was a 6-course Pasta Tasting. Every pasta dish was meager and weird. Flavors and composition was over-reaching, not great, but OK. In most of the pasta dishes, the pasta consistency was dense and gummy, as if you ate a clump of noodles that had stuck together. Every course was only a few bites. The meal took 2.5 hours. So you do the math. This was a lot of time drinking water, which was always promptly refilled, and staring at an empty table.
Dessert was a carrot cake for two which must’ve been built by the chef’s 3 year old: small cake, flat-tipped pastry bag of icing, candied pecans jabbed on top. Oh! It’s your birthday, let us jam and light a candle into your cake AFTER you have started eating it! (The only real failure in the service.)
We sat next to a window to the kitchen and could see that other entrees were appealing and abundant. We were sat there to torture us, I’m sure. The ride home was filled with hungry and angry silence, coated in a buttery sauce of disappointment. Thus, if the a la carte dishes on the menu were as yummy as they looked, we will never know. We will not go back.

Very good food and service, will definitely return.

I did not regret dining at L'Oca d'Oro but the hype is bigger than it delivers. The main dining room is like being in someone's cordoned off spare room that uses a weird kind of homemade curtain. The chairs are not particularly comfortable--like outdoor furniture inside and the table is small. It felt cramped. From the photos online, it looks like you should choose to sit outside or at the bar. We had the pasta tasting menu, which was interesting. I felt like the first two courses were fine, but the ending 2-3 left me cold. I did not like the long sweet pasta before the final course (carrot cake), which was ample for 2 people and tasty. But it was not what I came for. The final pasta course left me asking: Was it supposed to get me ready for dessert or to fill me up after the 2 TINY pieces of pasta with meat in them that was supposed to be the "main"?--I'd not be complaining if there had been 4 pieces of veal tortellini, but when they say "tasting menu" they really mean ALL you are getting for $10 a course is a taste. Pretty pricey. I'd get rid of the sweetish log after the veal and put in a classic cheese pasta as a cheese course, which makes sense before the carrot cake.

The food here is really incredible. It’s just like eating in Italy. My only disappointment was that they were out of their house made limoncello!

Very nice anniversary meal with L'Oca d'Oro. Came highly recommended by a friend and we were not disappointed. Every dish is made with love, and absolutely delicious. The complimentary champagne toast to celebrate 11 years was such a sweet surprise. Thank you for a delicious meal and excellent hospitality. We will return.

This is our 3rd time to L'Oca d'Oro. We have enjoyed each of meals, but this one surprised us. My husband and I have been trying to move to a plant-forward diet, minimizing eggs, fish, dairy, and other animal based foods in our day-to-day diet. This was our "weekend splurge." Although, we hadn't planned to avoid "meat" this meal, we found wonderful vegan and vegetarian options on the menus. The carrots were divine and the beet, cashew "pate" was terrific. The only downside was the noise. Both of us are hard of hearing, but the staff even accommodated that. We were at a 2-top and they turned the table sideways so that we could site side-by-side and actually have a conversation and easily share food.

Love the food and restaurant! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We’ll definitely come back.

Excellent food, every dish was perfect. The service is also excellent. The portions are small, but in most restaurants they are huge, so it just an adjustment to be served a more appropriate sized portion. One of our favorites!

Lovely dinner and conversation with one of the owners, Adam, at the end of the meal. Hearing his passion for his restaurant was inspiring! We will be back soon.

Quality service with delightful dishes. Appreciated the living wage paid to all employees - it affected our restaurant dining selection for the evening.

Wonderful food in an intimate setting. I loved the freshly prepared pasta and innovative dishes. Excellent service. It's especially fund to share dishes here. A great night out.
