   I went last night with a group of friends for dinner, the food was fabulous! All 7 of us were impressed with the quality of the food, the creative use of fresh foods and the variety. We had a quiet room off to the side with privacy, we loved it! Our server was not very experienced in timing of the food, she had difficulty keeping track of our multiple orders. She was friendly and was obviously trying her very best.

   Our servers were exceptional. The waitress was able to give very detailed descriptions of the pastas, and she was very delightful. Another staff member was kind enough to take our photo and the server pouring our wine was so careful to make sure every glass was equal. The food was very tasty. The focaccia bread was delicious and the tiramisu was so light and refreshing.

   Service was very slow, it took half an hour to get a second glass of wine, and the first round of alcohol took 20 minutes. I don’t mind the 20% tip, but our waiter did not deserve his share.

   L'Oca d'OroResponded 7 days agoSandra, I'm sorry to hear this and we've discussed with your server to determine why this happened. Thanks for letting us know and my apologies for not addressing it while you were at L'Oca. So you know, the service charge is included so that it can be distributed to the entire staff, guaranteeing a living wage for all. If you have any other questions on that, please let me know. Be well, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    One of the very best dining experiences my wife and I have had in a very long time. Every dish was fantastic - unique flavors and wonderful taste. We shared each dish and the portions were perfect for two people. Service was excellent -it's a lively place and every table was taken, but the service was efficient and friendly and the time was perfect -we felt neither rushed nor like we were waiting a long time between dishes. HIGHLY recommend.

    Loca D'oro is our favorite restaurant in Austin. The food is nothing short of excellent and the deserts are to die for. Fiore and his team have the freshest and most imaginative farm to table menu that is always changing. It is like a vacation without leaving Austin. Do not leave without having the tiramisu.

    Exquisite Italian dining experience. Our server Edgar was very attentive and also knowledgeable about the food. It was a family dinner, and both the main dishes and the desserts were great. I highly recommend the pistachio risotto. Unique, tasteful, and well balanced. Beers were not bad, but compared with dishes, I think there's a room for improvement.

    This is a sweet little restaurant in Mueller that has wonderful Italian food. We had the lumache and the buccatini, and both were super flavorful. The foccacia appetizer was also great. Don't skip the tiramisu either; it was to die for and easily feeds two. The service was professional and unobtrusive. Highly recommended.

    Was excited to try this place after the Statesman named it best restaurant in Austin. The ambiance was nice but the food was mediocre. Service was slow- they were not ready for us when we arrived for our reservation. We also ordered bread mid-meal and waited >20 minutes before cancelling it, as we had finished our food by then. The cherry on top of our experience was that there was an error on our bill. Maybe we caught them on a rough night but, either way, I would not go back as the food is nothing special.

    L'Oca d'OroResponded on January 9, 2023I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy. I hope you'll reach out with some more specifics about what you had or where you ate so I can try and determine why we didn't know that you were dissatisfied with your meal. As much as we like making people happy the first time, we take pride in correcting any mistakes as well and it sounds like we missed you.

    Food was great, but I would have appreciated more diversity in their menu. A lot of it was just pasta, pasta, pasta. Italian cuisine has so much more variety!

    L'Oca d'OroResponded on January 9, 2023Emily, You are right about Italy but, at L'Oca d'Oro, pasta has always been the medium that we prefer to explore different flavors. We keep the menu focused so that we can offer housemade dishes sourced from sustainable farms at accessible prices.

    Food was good but we waited 35 minutes to be seated even with a reservation, and service was extremely slow. With their one fair wage policy, a 20% tip is automatically added. I support this policy but 20% is generous for the service we received.

    L'Oca d'OroResponded on January 9, 2023I'm sorry that we were running behind but glad that you enjoyed dinner. As to the service charge, it is included so that we can distribute it to the entire staff. It is our job to make sure that you are getting excellent service regardless of the amount included. We did not do that consistently on the night that you dined but take pride in our service being just as good as the food. We appreciate this feedback and are always trying to improve.

    Woefully overpriced. $24 for a "family style" serving of pasta that is barely enough for one person. $12 for supermarket-level mozzarella. Service was excellent, and the ambiance, quaint and friendly. I would just skip the food and drink the Lambrusco.

    L'Oca d'OroResponded on January 9, 2023Nico, I'm sorry that the service style or portion size wasn't properly communicated. We take this feedback seriously and will make sure that servers aren't saying things like "family-style". We intend dishes to be shareable but they are individual portions. Maybe when you come in for the lambrusco, we can get you to try another snack as the menu changes regularly. Be well, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    We paid $256 for NYE dinner event for 9:45pm outdoors. We expected exceptional service, delicious food and reservation to be on-time since we paid a lot for this. To our surprise, they were not ready to receive us, they were very behind. We didn’t get seated until 40min after our reservation time. We had plans for later so we were worried about not making it to our plans on time and we were past our hunger so we continued with what was already paid. The service was slow, the food was cold and not fresh. The second portion of the menu (act ii) was worse; the steak was very fatty and cold, we couldn’t eat it. The Caesar salad was drowning in dressing, and the 50s style fettuccine was over cooked, stuck together and cold. They did try to make our steak experience better so gave us a vegetarian option which was overly seasoned (but we ate it since we were hungry and felt bad for not liking their food). We couldn’t digest the food and we were running late to our other event, we were so grossed out, we didn’t even want the last course, dessert. We do not recommend this place for the price, there are way better choices out there.

    L'Oca d'OroResponded on January 9, 2023I'm very sorry for your experience and that we weren't able to do more to improve your evening once you got to a table. I'd like to discuss this further if you'd like to reach out to me directly. I hope that you'll find your way back to try our regular menu. Be well, Adam Orman, Co-Owner adam@locadoroaustin

    The food here is incredible, which is good because we never had a server. This reservation was for my birthday and we had to track down a new staff member for every single interaction.

    Adam and Annie helped me get a reservation for 6 at the last minute for the special Christmas Feast of the 7 Fishes. The wait staff was fantastic and kept the glasses full. They introduced each dish and described the ingredents that made the dishes teste even better. As for the feast, every dish was amazing, especially the octopus appitizer and the clam pasta. The mozzarella cheese over olive oil was probably the best mozzarella we have ever tasted (and I've been to Italy many times) The overall evening experience was perfect for a Christmas dinner with good friends
