Excellent food and service.

Excellent food. Loved the fresh mozzarella and peach salad, also the squid appetizer (spicy)! My gin drink and my husband’s Old Fashioned was good but the vodka martini was not so much, Husband had the paprika fusilli and I had the chicken Milanese, with a lovely cold beet and yoghurt salad on the side. We took leftovers home. Dessert was Orabianco gelato from Blanco, TX - the chocolate was great but the basil took some getting used to. The fresh pixel led and caramel sauce really made the desserts. Sitting outside in the 95 degree heat was surprisingly pleasant, as there were fans in front and behind, plenty of shade, and little noise from other diners. We will definitely return..

Food and wine was delicious!

Delicious as always! They have done a good job creating a nice outdoor dining experience.

Everything we ate and drank were amazing, and the staff were friendly, knowledgable and fun.

We've been several times since the restaurant reopened following the pandemic, and the food seems to get better every week. They make the cheese in house - ricotta and mozzarella we amazing - the produce and fish are exquisitely fresh, and the wine choices are on point. The entire staff is lovely. They also do a lot to look after their employees, which I appreciate very much. It is not cheap, but the value is very high. My step-dad said his friends from Italy would appreciate it very much, and I think that's an incredibly high compliment. I am going again next weekend, and I'm super excited about it.

Great food. Great people

Everything was so good! Every time I visit L'Oca d'Oro they have new / great things on the menu. Last night we had this lovely cavatelli with marinara and roasted tomatoes and spaghetti with zucchini - I highly recommend both. Not to mention their negroni with the house vermouth. Amazing as always - thanks!

We really enjoyed our meal at L'Oco d'Oro – the food was really delicious. The staff was great; our server answered our questions and made great recommendations. All of the seating is outside and they are enforcing masks inside (we sat close to the door, and I listened to a very polite interaction where they provided one to someone who wanted to go inside to use the restroom). The tip situation was the only oddity. We knew going in that there was a 20% gratuity added and totally support paying people a living wage, so I have no issue with that. It just seemed odd that they add 20% AND include a tip line, instead of say, raising the prices a little and including a lower automatic gratuity. Not a huge deal, but just a little odd. Overall, we really did enjoy our meal and would go back.

L'Oca d'Oro is always amazing. The food is as local as it gets, and the staff treat you like old friends. Every item on the menu is well thought out and curated perfectly for the best dining experience. Try something new - you won't regret it!

After hearing amazing things about this spot, I finally had a night off with my guy to go check it out. It’s outdoor dining only right now, but it was very pleasant despite the heat. The tables are spaced well and nestled by planters and there are fans and umbrellas. We were very comfortable. We had a cocktail and then a yummy bottle of Verdicchio. Annie provided excellent service—informative, kind, attentive but not overbearing and smooth. We split all of our food and each course came out well timed and with fresh plates and silverware in place. Every dish was delivered with care with a quick description which I appreciate. Overall, it was a great experience!

Excellent service, great food and value on a nice patio. The cavatelli pomodoro was exquisite, excellent flavors and love how the food isn’t heavy

We have been fans of L'Oca d'Oro for years and this latest iteration is still such a treat! I recommend going after sundown if you're dining outside in the Texas heat, but the charming staff and heavenly food would take your mind off of any sort of discomfort.

L'Oca always does a spectacular job with service and we both agreed that our Sunday night meal was the best we'd had in over a year. The team was very considerate of our 14-month old maniac who also really enjoyed the meal, both the butter noodles they made for him and all the samples from our plate. Looking forward to returning!

The food here, even with the more limited menu than before, is outstanding. Also, we do appreciate the work they continue to use their restaurant to do to prepare food for Austin families who are in need. It is and has been a wonderful way to stay afloat financially. Really they are the best kind of business in Austin.

Always great food and wonderful service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Best pancakes ever!

Food is fresh, local and house made everything. So delicious! Cocktails are unique and tasty. Wait staff is so friendly and knowledgeable and service is always spot on. You’ll love it!

Wonderful food and service, so happy to support such an ethical establishment!

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.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. They source local, make the best Negroni in Austin, and really care about creating interesting and downright delicious food. My only small warning is that it’s not a super traditional Italian place, but all the more reason to give it a try!

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

Excellent food, service and experience! The locally sourced ingredients used throughout the menu are fantastic!

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....
