Everything was fresh and delicious! I really enjoyed the salad and added chicken. The pizzas were also yummy. Great service, kind staff. Definitely want to return to try the pasta. I love that they also have gluten free options. The restaurant is quaint and clean. It's a smaller space but they have it organized well. read more

When you walk in the menu is behind the cashier so you need to walk up to the counter to order, it wasn't too busy so we were able to order right away. They have beer, wine and seltzers so I ordered a beer and my wife ordered a white claw along with our food. The food came out quickly and was delicious. You could tell that the noodles on the lasagna were home made, it was melt in the mouth good. Helpful hint, check out the specials, they change out every 15 to 20 days according to the owner. read more

OMG! If I could live next door to this place just to eat here every day I would! The pasta is so fresh! The mushrooms on my Chicken, Mushroom, Mascarpone pasta were cooked to perfection as well as the chicken it was seasoned and juicy! We also got a pizza half cheese and half pep. The boys ate the entire this down to the crust! We collectively give this place a 10/10 read more

Wow, what a treat to have a real Italian spot pop up in our neighborhood. The dining area is charming and clean and the service is friendly and helpful (including when I screwed up at checkout and they had to cancel/re-run the ticket!) The pizza and pasta are legit, with handmade noodles and wood oven fired crusts. The Bosco pizza was outstanding! The portions are large so be prepared to pay for what would normally feed at least 1.5 people. It's high quality but much cheaper than fine dining. Looking forward to adding this to the rotation. read more

First of all, I love supporting small local businesses and this place definitely hits the spot. The owner I believe is Italian and was so personable. They serve fresh handmade pasta as we were looking for a place similar to Patrizi but closer up north. And Dough it Up definitely hit the spot in terms of a place that is serving handmade pasta that is very well done. You start by ordering at the counter and you can choose which type of pasta and which type of sauce you would like. You can definitely modify the menu to what suits you for example I wanted pasta with tomato sauce, but did not want vegan cheese and they were able to adjust so that I could have handmade fettuccine with tomato sauce and real Parmesan cheese. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The sauce had a right balance of acidity and sweetness from the basil. The potion size was just right. The tiramisu was also very good as it was not too watery with espresso, even though I did not think it needed the chocolate sauce. The texture of the tiramisu was perfect. My husband got the Bolognese and enjoyed it as well though he thought the Bolognese in bologna was better, but does that surprise anyone? No you can't beat wherever the dish originated from. Can't wait to go back to try more pasta, dishes, and curious to know how the pizza is. Parking is free as it is in a strip mall. Restaurant is on the smaller side so wouldn't recommend it for groups larger than 6. read more

We happened to find Dough It Up while doing a quick search of what to eat close to Lakeline Park, and what a fortuitous find! We went around 5 PM with just a few other diners around us, but by the time we finished eating the place was packed! So, if you want to beat the rush, come early! Ordering is done at the counter, and then you find your seat and the food is brought to you. I actually sat down first, but the server was nice and walked up to me, explained the process, and provided a menu as well as shared some recommendations. We started with the Real Greek Salad, which was very refreshing and helped provide balance to the carbs but a bit pricy. For appetizers we ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana which for a vegan dish was very impressive as the eggplant was so meaty and the sauce was super delicious, this was actually my favorite thing I had here. For pastas, we ordered the Carbonara which was super creamy and rich. We ordered the red pasta with tomato and basil, and the best part of the dish were the meatballs which were the most tender I've had. All the pasta was cooked more al dente, so definitely a bit chewier but resembled that of what I had in Italy! The Homemade Lasagna was full of deliciously tender layers of pasta, meat, and cheese, also a winner. The things that I'd probably pass on would be the fries and ordering extra focaccia as the bread was a bit dense for me liking...but then again I am no expert. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with this meal. We actually talked to the owner who is originally from Italy, and you can tell she really cooks with her heart and taste it in her food. I can't wait to try more of their dishes, especially the pizza as we saw a lot of people picking up pizzas and saw their legit looking pizza oven! read more

Solid spot that just opened up in the CP Lakeline area for Italian food that nona would approve of! The sweetest owners and crew were very helpful in assisting with our order taking. Dough it up's space is a little cozy and can be a tight fit at peak dinner hours, advise coming early because by the time we finished our meal, folks were hunting down our table and bussing up the dishes we left. You order at counter and then pick a table to sit at after, which I noticed there were several people who were confused and waiting for someone to greet them, but then realized this spot was counter service. The prices are a bit higher than we anticipated but we recognize the labor and effort in terms of quality of dishes and agree that it justifies the costs. We loved the pastas, cooked perfectly. I didn't really feel we should've gotten the garlic bread and fries, and the extra bread we paid for with our pasta dish, made me regret my picks so wish the staff had talked us out of this as this was too much bread for our meal. We enjoyed our meal, and are looking forward to returning for the next time we get to try their pizza :) read more

Run, don't walk! This place is seriously amazing! This was honestly our second attempt at eating here because the first time we came by a few weeks ago they were packed with a line out the door and standing room only. Know we know why. This was a great date night spot, but we also saw families sharing meals around large tables. Which were honestly really nice - big table = plenty of room for all the deliciousness they're going to bring you. Fresh pasta in a variety of sauces that were great. I ordered the fettuccini with their chicken pesto, and my hubby got the carbonara with their spaghetti at the recommendation of one of their employees. They did not disappoint. The pesto was rich, the chicken was tender, and the fettuccini was perfectly cooked. The spaghetti was a little more toothsome than what we had imagined, putting it probably just shy of the line of al dente - so maybe that could have cooked a few seconds longer. I didn't mind though! Both dishes were very yummy. My hubby commented that he would have like some Parmesan at the table, but we also never asked for extra, so that's on us. We also ordered a cheese pizza because when we walked in we smelled a pizza that had just arrived at a nearby table and it looked amazing! It was. We said we were going to take some home for our kids...but it didn't make it. We did have some leftovers, and I'm looking forward to a second serving of the tender chicken and creamy pesto with fettuccini. I didn't mind ordering at the counter, and felt like we waited an appropriate amount of time for our food. I'm excited to come back and try more things - I even unabashedly asked other tables what they ordered because everything looked so good. Do yourself a favor and get in here!! read more

Amazing counter service. Our menu items came out at different times. No big deal because it was busy at lunch. Amazing fettuccine! Damn good pizza. Meatballs! Cute and cozy atmosphere. Fresh Parmesan or Romano would be a great addition. I'll be back in a few weeks. read more

They have the best pasta I've had in Texas. It's amazing. And the pizza is amazing as well. Can't recommend it enough read more

Italian casual restaurant with homemade pasta. Thick noodles with unique homemade style and fresh. Gnocchi was very delicious . If you like gnocchi definitely recommend trying it. The restaurant is small but the staff and vibe is amazing. They have the small family restaurant love built into a casual theme. We will definitely be back read more

I'm hesitant to give this place a five star rating, because then I might not be able to get in when I want to. Honestly, this place is a little gem. It only has about 10 tops which gives it a casual, friendly atmosphere. The pasta is all made from scratch each day and is absolutely wonderful. The staff is friendly and attentive. The important consideration is to come in on 'Italian time'. Since it is a scratch kitchen, it can take a while for the food to get to your table, but it is well worth the wait (and the weight you might gain) - and the price point is surprisingly reasonable. read more

Fresh homemade pasta that's worth going out of your way for. You can tell this family-owned restaurant puts their heart into what they do. Great food, great people, and a place I'm happy to support. Highly recommend. read more

The food was overpriced and lacked flavor. Truffle bread was overpowering with truffle and the ricotta was cold which wasn't that satisfying, my family wasn't check on by the server not one time other than bringing our food. We got the pesto pasta & bolognese. read more

Where have you been hiding? We've needed a great little pizza and pasta spot in this area for years, and Dough It Up finally delivers exactly what we've been missing. Legit sauce, legit dough, and seriously delicious appetizers -- everything tastes homemade in the best way. We ordered the meatballs and the basil red-sauce pasta, and both were fantastic. The lasagna tastes like true homemade comfort food, and the chicken mushroom white-sauce pasta was honestly to die for. But the standout for me was the Pizza Tommaso -- perfectly balanced, great crust, and full of flavor. This place hits all the marks: cozy, high-quality, and exactly what you want from a neighborhood Italian spot. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the entire menu. Also they have beers on tap and wines from Italy. The service is quick and unbeatable read more

Sometimes you get lucky and find that needle in the haystack. This place is that needle. In fact, it's a golden needle. The surroundings don't fit the food. Not that the surroundings are Danny, they aren't. But they aren't as upscale as the food. It's an order at the counter place, but at the same time they do service the dining room, and the night I was there the young lady tackling that task was absolutely delightful. Very attentive combined with a great attitude. The owner was there, and she delightful, helpful, and you get the passion for the food she brings to her creation. We had a table of four, and everyone said their's was great. I think I won the night with one of the nightly specials, the risotto with sausage. The pastas are homemade, the sauces are homemade, and spectacular. For a four month old place, it seemed to hitting on all cylinders, kind of like the Italian classic Ferrari. The good is great, the service is as well, but it also has a great feel and vibe to the place. I wish I lived closer, but I will be back. And hopefully sooner rather than later. read more

FINALLY. Finally, finally, finally--North Austin has a true Italian restaurant. As someone who spends a lot of time in Europe every year, I can say without hesitation: this is the real deal. The owners are in the kitchen, cooking and working the floor themselves. The pasta is made in-house. The lasagna, layered with béchamel, is outstanding. There's carpaccio pizza. There's German Paulaner beer on tap. The music actually sets the mood instead of fighting it. Honestly--does it get any better? We tried all of the above, loved every bite, and already can't wait to go back to explore more of the menu. This is exactly the kind of experience you'd expect at a small, family-run café tucked away in Tuscany. I sincerely hope this place is around for a long, long time. read more

Get the pizza. While on the smaller side, this restaurant feels spacious and bright. You order at the counter. They seem to do a lot of to-go orders, which seems like the way to go since there is very little table service - food is brought out to your table and they will fill your water. I had to ask for a plate for my pizza that is enough for two people. I guess I was supposed to eat over an entire pizza. The cheese pizza is fantastic. Get this. We also had the meatball topping, but it was greasy like sausage. The lasagna is $20, extremely watery, and the homemade pasta was mushy kind of the same texture of the cheese. The lasagna was a terrible textural experience. Maybe we should have said something, but again no service and weird to go to counter and complain about food. We will never eat in again, or order pasta dishes, but we will be ordering many pizzas - probably weekly. Seriously, get the pizza. read more

Undercooked, doughy pasta is never a good thing, and unfortunately, that was the centerpiece of our meal here. Beyond the texture issues, the ratio of ingredients within the pasta felt off, and the portions were quite tiny for the price point. ​We also found the inclusion of a Greek salad on the menu to be a bit out of place, and the dish itself was underwhelming. While the service was actually quite good and the staff were very friendly, the food just didn't hit the mark. We'll be seeking out more authentic Italian experiences next time. read more

We've been searching for truly good and authentic Italian pasta in Austin for years, and happy to say this place definitely delivers. The pasta is made here and cooked right, and the flavors and textures come together perfectly. A nice added touch is the Pauliner draft beers and the nice casual overall vibe of the restaurant. read more

The Capricciosa Pizza is excellent ... crust and the mix of ingredients made it a very flavor-able experience. I was fortunate to meet the manager / owner and enjoyed listening to her story coming from an authentic / born Italian. Will definitely return to this quaint little establishment. read more

MUST TRY!!! Absolutely loved Dough It Up in Cedar Park! You can really taste how fresh everything is. Everything is made from scratch, including the pasta. Contadina Salad was crisp and flavorful, and the pasta was next-level! We tried the lasagne and the Chicken and Mushroom Gnocchi. My kids loved their pizza My Italian mother would 100% approve, and that says a lot The vibe is very casual and family-friendly, order at the counter and they bring to you! Excellent customer service, owner walked around and checked on everyone too. Already excited to go back!! read more

Loved this spot! I especially lived that it was '1/2 of wine Tuesday' and the tiramisu was seriously amazing! Our server and the chef were both so friendly and welcoming :) read more

Go here before it blows up and becomes one of the hottest spots in town! We've already been twice in the last week and are so grateful to have such a high-quality Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. The food is simple in the best possible way. It's perfected simplicity. You can tell that chef and owner Mimosa has poured years into developing her recipes, from the dough to the sauces to even the salad dressings. If you're someone who really cares about what you put into your body, you'll appreciate how everything here is made from scratch with truly quality ingredients. We've tried several dishes so far, and every single one has been excellent. Special recommendations: the Greek salad with chicken, the fries (yes, the fries!), the Bolognese, the Pesto pasta and Pizza Tomaso. Next on my list to try are the artichoke dip and the tiramisu! And Ivan, the host at the restaurant, is such a warm and welcoming presence! read more

Noticed them over the weekend and dropped in for dinner on their 2nd day. Food was amazing, had the chicken mushrooms & mascarpone pasta, and a pizza. Fresh pasta is beyond compare, really enjoyed it and the sauce was amazing. Same for the pizza, nice crispy crust but not overly crunchy. Tons of fresh ingredients and lovely flavor. Staff was overly apologetic as they were working out the kinks of the opening weekend, but honestly it wasn't bad at all. Met Tom (great guy) and love their story. Will definitely head back to try more dishes and have another glass of wine. Great addition to Cedar Park! read more

Really cute and cozy family restaurant. Friendly service (although they clearly needed someone to bus tables. Perhaps it was just a tough day being a weekend). Enjoyed food thoroughly and we will be back! Greek salad, yummy. Mushroom/chicken pasta perfection! Great sandwiches too. Happy to have a place like this near by. read more

I'd never been here, but was meeting some friends for dinner and someone suggested it. I got there early was greeted as soon as I walked in, and was welcomed to get a table even though none of the other guests were there yet. Clean place, really friendly staff. I ordered a caesar salad and spaghetti, this was some of the best food I've had, and the price was unbelievably fair for the portions and the quality. I Iive in South Austin, and I'll be making the drive to Cedar Park on a regular basis now that I've found this awesome restaurant. read more

Great cheese pizza and caesar salad. Super good. Pleased to learn they make everything by hand every day. The restaurant name is a little too juvenile and somewhat betrays the charming Italian ambiance and music inside which was a pleasant surprise. read more

GO EAT THIS FOOD! I do a lot of reviews and love it when I find a surprise. This new Italian café is next door to one of my regular cheap Chinese lunch places. We saw it when we pulled up and I asked my wife if she wanted to try it. So glad we did. First it is a counter order location. Not my favorite. Then first thing I noticed it said homemade pasta and sauces. Looking at the menu I thought the prices seem a bit expensive for this part of Austin. But we ordered an order of Meatballs and Spaghetti and an order of Chicken and Mushroom with Mascarpone Penne and 2 iced teas. The iced teas arrived and we didnt like the flavor of the teas. But they replaced with sodas. But when the food arrived the magic began. The pastas and the sauces where truly homemade. The spaghetti was thicker than commercial spaghetti and the meat balls where filled with great flavor and spice. The absolutely best part they know how to cook pasta which came out perfect Al Dente. The quality and flavor of the experience totally justified the slightly higher prices. The portions where large and filling. Must say best Meatball and Spaghetti i have had in Texas. Reminds me of northern Italy. My wife was going on about how good her Chicken Mascarpone was comparing it to our favorite place in Florence. As we where about to leave the owner came by and I complimented her on the food. She was very open and interesting to share she was from italy years ago and this was her 3 restaurant here in the USA. So go here and eat. Your foodie need will be pleased. Dont expect a fancy place or atmosphere. You come for the food. Only draw back is the location since it is hidden in a little off the normal high traffic locations. But totally worth the drive. Atmosphere: 5/5 read more

We stopped in with the kids for a quick dinner, and were impressed with the quality and freshness of the food! It's counter service, but there is a very nice waitress who made sure we had everything we needed and brought our food to the table of our choosing. It's fairly small, but wasn't overly loud. We chose to sit outside, and it was great for the littles to be able to jump around without disturbing anyone! We will add this into our rotation whenever we're grabbing groceries at Sprouts! read more

We stopped in for a wonderful casual italian dinner! We started with the meatballs with mushroom sauce and A delish truffle butter focaccia, both were great. The pizza was on point, we ordered 2 different ones, both had a great thin crust with fresh toppings. Caesars salad yummy, tiramisu was so good not too sweet. The manager/owner(?) Renato ? Was very patient with us as we asked a lot of questions. We will definitely be back to try the whole menu, lol. read more

Keep in mind this is their first few weeks. We went there without a wait at 6:30 and they were already out of some main appetizers and dishes;so come early. You can tell the pasta and sauces are made fresh, but the pasta was quite under cooked. On the other hand, the pizza was to die for. The crust is perfect and the sauce is well balanced. I think if they can get more staff, they could have a gem on their hands. read more

Pizza was ok. Not as good as I thought. I hear the Italian dishes are better so I give this a 3.

Saw this place while grabbing groceries at Sprouts and decided to pick up a quick dinner. OMG the pasta was amazing!! We got the Chicken Mushroom & Marscapone with Penne and the Bolognese with Fettuccine. The pasta was sooooo fresh and just cooked to perfection. The Chicken pasta sauce wasnt heavy for a cream/white sauce. The chicken was still moist and not dry. It was so delicious. The Bolognese sauce was excellent - you could really taste that it had been cooking and simmering all that goodness for a while. The only thing that was meh was the side of bread.... but totally didn't care at all. The pasta more than made up for it. Portions were really good and left enough for lunch the next day. Absolutely will be back over and over!!! read more
