Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chef/Owner John Carver

From the OpenTable editors: It can take months to get into Chef John Carver’s wildly popular Italian restaurant, where there’s a custom woodfired grill at the heart of the industrial space. But it’s worth the wait for fresh pasta and epic steaks, like the cappelletti “bishop’s hats” stuffed with spinach and sauced with brown butter, alongside a 50-day dry-aged porterhouse “la Fiorentina.” Don’t miss the charred veggies, like roasted vine tomatoes with creamy burrata, and wash it all down with a house negroni.

    Vibrant atmosphere. Good choice of old world wines and interesting cocktails. We ordered the popular crisp garlic bread, octopus plancha and ricotta stuffed squash blossoms. Each was uniquely tasty. The imperfect Negroni and Cucumber flavored tequila were also bright and perfect complements to the starters. For dinner we ordered small sizes of freshly made spaghetti and gnocchi. Tummy. We split the veal ossobuco. Can’t say enough how humongous and delicious the shank was. Fall off the bone. The saffron risotto was creamy as ever. For dessert we shared a hot apple crostata. Again yummy. Overall, a great dining experience. Lived up to its reputation.

    Other than the pasta needing a pinch of salt, everything was delicious. The apple crostata was outstanding. Service was really great and the attention given was great. It made my bday celebration that much more special.

    This place was so incredibly wonderful it makes me doubt the Michelin system altogether. This place doesn’t have a star? I’ve been to a few of the Austin starred spots, and Red Ash blows them away. Best meal I’ve had in some time.
