    4 plates of pasta
    Edward G.

    ARTIPASTA is a really good neighborhood spot for fresh pasta. We tried four different pastas and they were all good but none were amazing. Everything tasted freshly made and everyone at our table enjoyed their dishes. The pasta was cooked nicely al dente and the sauces were fine. Nothing was overly strong or bold. Part of me wanted a little more flavor, but overall it worked. The place itself is very no frills. Think strip mall, bright fluorescent lighting, and counter service. It's small, maybe ten tables, and as we were leaving a line had started to form. The ordering area becomes a choke point because there's nowhere to wait if tables are full and there isn't any outdoor seating. On the plus side, it's BYOB, which makes the experience a lot more fun because you can bring whatever bottle you want to pair with your pretty good pasta. They seem to do a brisk takeout business. Honestly, that might be the best way to go if you want fresh, reliable pasta without worrying about the tight seating situation. Solid food, simple vibe, and a great option if you're in the mood for unfussy Italian.

    What a lovely establishment! I walked in and was immediately greeted by the waitstaff, who were beyond friendly. You could tell they genuinely appreciated having you there and wanted to help. Open seating but by the time we left every table was full! Now the food... W.O.W. I don't usually love getting pasta out but I cannot recommend this enough. The pasta was beautifully made and the sauces were perfection. I WILL be returning!! There are so many more pastas I need to try!

    This was truly an authentic Italian experience. The food, the poor air conditioning, and the lack of free water made me feel like I was in Italy. (Update: the business owner informed me that they do have complimentary water upon request, so I am adding this in!) We were all impressed by our pasta. The taste was very similar to what I've eaten in Italy. I got the maccheroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms. The pasta was very al dente, which isn't my preference, but it was still very good. My friends all got different types of pasta, and they agreed the pasta was very good, but that the portions were small for the price. My pasta was $18. They are Italian-sized portions but with American prices. Their dessert and appetizers were very expensive, so we didn't get any. When I walked in, the employee pointed me to a table where I could sit and read the menu, but then you have to wait in line at the counter to order. I'm not sure how you would reserve the table once you get up to order unless you have a friend waiting there for you while you order for both, which we ended up doing to save the table.

    Tagliatelle (eggs pasta) with Parmesan Cream with mushroom
    Iman Z.

    First time visiting and I have to say it was worth the trip! The staff are friendly and you can tell the food is authentic. The mushroom tagliatelle was creamy and pasta was cooked to perfect al dente. The size of the plate is misleading because it looks small but I felt super full after cleaning my plate. They also play some fun upbeat Italian music which is fun. The perfect amount of food. I got some bread with my meal and it was chewy and crisp and scored into 4 pieces if you want to easily share with the table. My only negative is the desserts aren't made in house. They do however look very delicious. All in all I recommend anyone who's looking for an authentic meal come try this place out!

    In a strip mall, decent parking. Pasta came out Al dente and relatively quickly. Cannoli's took a significant amount of time even after ordering and finishing the meal. But my friend said they were good with a lot of chocolate and other toppings. Pasta was around $18 if I remember correctly, but overall small casual eatery vibes. Would come again!

    Artipasta is probably one of the best Italian restaurant in Austin. They offer a variety of pasta and I have tried quite a handful of them in the past. Both pastas were really creamy & cheesy and full of flavour! We absolutely love the limoncello, it's not really sweet - soft and spongy. Service is quick but depending on the day you visit. The ambiance gives a minimalist/casual Italian restaurant vibe. Highly recommend it!

    Reminds me of the food we had in Northern Italy. The inside is super bright with enough seating for about 22 people. We had the lasagna, the macaroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms and the tagliatelle. Our favorite was the lasagna. It's the best lasagna we've had in the US. Very creamy and fresh. The macaroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms was also very good. You could taste all of the ingredients. We took the beef tagliatelle home for another meal so we could save room for dessert. For dessert, we had the chocolate hazelnut cake which tasted like a Ferrero Roche.

    Tagliatelle (eggs pasta) With Ham & Sweet Green Peas
    Sarena T.

    I think I may have found my go-to dish, the tagliatelle with ham and peas! This time the pasta was cooked well, not too al dente like last time. I think they took away the breadsticks, they didn't have them this time. The restaurant also brands itself as "fast casual", for anyone who is wondering the type of restaurant this is.

    Maccheroni (egg pasta) Creamy Sausage and Mushrooms
    Jenny M.

    Not for me. Definitely for some people but not for me. The pasta was very al dente and I do personally do not prefer my pasta like that. Flavor was ok, not super flavorful. Everyone was really nice. Not many tables inside.

    Since they opened a brick and mortar spot North of Downtown Austin, Ive been meaning to come and finally made it. The seating area is fairly small, but quaint. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We ordered several pasta dishes with the lasagne being my favorite. The portion is huge. Easily can be shared by two. I would also highly recommend the Tiramisu. Love that we have a spot making homemade pasta close by. We will definitely be back.

    One view of the pastry case

    Well designed menu with lots of variety, and a dessert case worthy of a food stylist. Friendly service, lovely ambiance. The pasta is served truly al dente, and Artipasta offers several choices of San Pellegrino. The ability to BYO wine with no uncorking fee is another plus. I infer that Artipasta began as a food truck (pasta from a food truck?). They were already getting busy by 6 PM on a Wednesday evening. These folks have not gotten out over their skis: I expect that they will continue to grow and thrive. I look forward to the day when a simple fresh green salad will be available alongside my tagliatelle. How long has Austin waited for excellent Italian pasta? I think our wait is finally over.

    Brian C.

    Yeah that's some pretty solid pasta. I enjoyed the texture of the pasta the most. This place was really hyped up to me, but it honestly fell short of my expectations. Both dishes that I tried tasted a bit one dimensional, leaving me tired of them quite quickly. The guy taking my order was really friendly and helped explain the menu. I did appreciate the casual environment since there's a multitude of boujee Italian places already. At the end of the day, it's a fast and easy meal focused on the food. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other options.

After giving our keys away we walked into what is a beautiful outside area at Juliet's. It's a nice mix of feeling like you're in downtown Austin but also not. We went inside to request two seats outside and this is unfortunately where everything fell apart. After being seated all the way at the very corner of the restaurant near the entrance, we didn't receive water for 15 minutes. In fact, we had to ask for water, as well as silverware, from a person who was cleaning a table- not a waiter. We didn't order until about 30 minutes after being seated. We noticed that others around us who were dressed nicer for the occasion were receiving service but we were not (jeans and a nice top as opposed to a dressy outfit). This is less of an accusation and more of an observation. It took another waiter noticing that we had not been served to come over and take our order, and that was 5 minutes after we had to flag down a busser to ask for water. The flip side of that whole first part is that the food was pretty good. We got complimentary table bread (after we asked for it since it never came before our main meal) that was soft and went well with the olive oil it came with. For our entrees we got the shrimp scampi and chicken parm. The shrimp scampi was fantastic and light with creamy and bold flavors in-between. The chicken parm was maybe the largest chicken cutlet we've seen given out at a restaurant. Not only was the cutlet massive but it was delicious as well with a nice, light breading and cheese on top. The spaghetti alongside it was a nice touch but this was a true chicken parm entree as it should be. We were offered a complimentary dessert as an apology for the miscues before we ate but turned it down (still good of them to offer). Leaving was easy as the valet was very attentive and quick to get our car. We wish we could say our time at Juliet's was perfect because the setting and food are very nice and a fun change of pace from the surrounding blocks. However, it's difficult to overlook the mistakes made from the jump. We noticed that another table next to us was also experiencing bad service and looked unhappy enough to leave in the middle of their meal/ We're always open to having good food again so hopefully the next time we're here things are different. Just an unfortunate bittersweet taste to what otherwise would have been a fantastic meal.
