    We enjoyed our return to Asti. I am always happy with my Rigatoni Amatriciana (and getting a half-portion often works well for me, especially so I can comfortably enjoy more of their excellent bread! My husband got the pork special which was terrific. We're hoping they keep it on the menu or bring it back around. The staff--hosts, servers, cooks, managers--are all just wonderful. It's a great place for a special occasion, although certainly a comfortable spot for any day of the week.

    Second time to visit AT. Very noisy. Service by waiter was very good but overall rather slow to receive food. "Lasagna" was not impressive and was unlike any other I have had and expensive. $85 with one bowl of tasty gazpacho and 2 entrees but with no alcohol. Before tax and tip.

    Asti never disappoints! The service is impeccable—a well oiled but friendly machine. Every bite is an inspiration. From our delectable bruschetta topped with goat cheese, arugula, fresh figs and prosciutto to the rich and luscious lemon soffritto for dessert, we were wowed. The trout was perfectly grilled and the chicken parmigiana rich but delicate. This little Hyde Park neighborhood gem is an experience houdint want to miss!

    Fabulous dining experience. The artichoke appetizer was excellent. Followed by the best Cesar salad. The right blend of garlic, parmigiana, and anchovies. The best in ATX. The special was the Italian steak. OMG. Moist, flavorful and cooked to perfection. Asti is the best in ATX.

    I hadn't been to Asti for many years. It was a delight to discover it had the same charm and fine food that first earned the restaurant a solid reputation. In an era when service is often subpar, every aspect of service during our meal was spot-on: attentive and professional, with just the right touch of personal.

    We had the Carbonara and my BF is very picky and he said it was delicious. I had this vegetarian and the sauce was so yummy, it had corn and vegetables. It was creamy but not with cream which made it light and so tasty! We never have a bad meal at ASTI and it’s one of our favorite restaurants!

    First time there. I saw their video and decided to try. Everyone there is friendly, service is good, regarding the food it’s traditional American Italian. The focaccia was soft and fresh, pasta capellini with chicken and mushroom meatball was nice.. overall a simple neighborhood Italian restaurant…

    Everything about this restaurant was fantastic. We were late due to traffic in the city. They were not upset about that when I called. The service was fantastic. Our server was lovely. All of her recommendations were delicious. I had a lovely glass of white wine we had the amazing fried artichokes. We also shared a Caesar salad and an absolutely delicious pizza. Highly recommend this adorable restaurant.

    The highlight of the meal was the fried artichoke; a happy surprise; a simple but elegant out of the ordinary appetizer — the lemon aoli was the perfect compliment to the pickled saltiness of the artichoke. The Mussels & grilled focaccia was tasty with a generous amount of savory sausage crumble to boost the light broth. The Linguine & Littleneck Clams was a mess. Sadly the overwhelming sour lemon and excess salt overpowered the dish covering up any sense of the savory clam flavor. The special was a Mafalde noodle with fried eggplant in a simple red sauce. Again an overly salty dish. The choice of a Salata Ricotta for this dish would have been great if the sauce wasn’t already too salty on its own. On a positive, service was exceptional. Waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. Always a better experience when a restaurant has professional waitstaff.

    This neighborhood gem is our go-to for a special occasion or just for an exceptional Italian meal. This visit, we brought our friends from out of town. They loved their food, and we are always appreciative of the wonderful service. The servers and all who work at Asti are especially friendly, attentive, and upbeat. I love the Amatriciana rigatoni, and one of our friends got it as well and was impressed. The salmon dishes are always excellent, although the accompanying sides and preparation changes seasonally. The wine list is excellent and well-curated. We were able to comfortably talk with one another even as the place got busy. A wonderful night!

    As always, first rate neighborhood trattoria. Servers are seasoned and like their jobs, and it shows. Because it isn't a full bar, they can legally offer a corkage policy, which we often avail ourselves of by bringing in a great wine, but their wine list is topnotch as well. We split a delicious lamb ragu with an interesting crunch from puffed farro. That pasta is probably better suited to the middle of the winter than during a heat wave, but it was still delicious and probably the most suitable thing on the menu for the full bodied red we brought with us. I kind of wish they had some sort of steak on the dinner menu but that would just be an added bonus. Bravo Asti!!
