    Ravioli Salciccia
    Sandra K.

    We came in at 6 PM on a Saturday night and there was plenty of seating still available. There was plenty of parking available in the parking lot when we went. The interior is decorated as an old school Italian family run restaurant. Our server was very friendly and gave us great wine recommendations and even brought us some tasters. She came out with complementary garlic bread. One was nicely toasted, but the other was not toasted. I ordered ravioli, which was delicious, but had too much cheese on top for my liking. Their portion sizes are large, and I left feeling full.

    Nice place, really nice people. Well made cocktails. Nice wine selection. Generous apps. That bread is really all you need. Got the special - mushroom ravioli and sausage in Alfredo sauce. Pretty tasty. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals.

    If you are looking for traditional Italian food then look no further. This place is a hidden gem in my book now! I enjoy Italian food and I have found that many places don't deliver on some of the more basic items this jersey boy grew up on. Austin I love you but it takes me back to have Veal Parm or a nice Spaghetti and Meatballs or Lasagne dish. This isn't a chain either like Boca do Beppo or Olive Garden. When I sat to eat here I saw one of the owners working. The place is quaint yet there were enough tables when I ate here although to be fair it was Super Bowl day so it was a bit slow. The drinks are great, the bread is great, the mains were amazing, and of course the wine was delicious. You have to try this place and it will be on my rotation from now on. The one item to look for though is parking - it has a weird one way are so you may find yourself circling to park and walking up. Enjoy!

    If I could give 6 stars to Gino's I would. We were staying at The Residence Inn of University Area, where we've stayed a few times, however we just found this fabulous wine bar/restaurant that is 2 doors down on the backside. We arrived 30 minutes before they were set to close with the intention to have a quick glass of wine. Walked in to a quaint environment that will take you to New York neighborhood restaurant. The aroma of Italian food made me almost feel hungry though we just stuffed ourselves at dinner right before. They have a nice selection of wines by the glass or bottle and various cocktails. The bartender was wonderful! We ended up getting the lemon cake for dessert and Wowzer, it was fantastic! I will be coming back every Austin visit!

    Great service, good ambience, one-note food. Had the special, braised beef stuffed ravioli with sausage. Was good, but tasted the Alfredo sauce more than anything. App ravioli tasted like the oil it was fried in more than anything, sauce was advertised as spicy but was fairly bland.

    Eggplant parmigiana went to the top of my husband list of the best. The filet mignon and ravioli special was so good. We sampled two Montepulcianos. Both good.

    I enjoyed my dining experience at Gino's. The food was cooked well. Pasta was al dente and the sauces were delicious. I got the seafood linguine and gnocchi. The gnocchi dish is a cheese lovers dream. I will definitely go again.

    Some friends took us here for a birthday celebration, taking a chance because they'd never been…read morethere either. What a find! Rosé Gosé (note accents) is in an unassuming Airport Blvd location (right next to Jewboy Burgers, an Austin favorite). It is run by a couple from Belarus that came here right after Covid to open up a restaurant, with a sister in Minsk. Defying expectations, the menu is not Balkan at all. If anything, there is a strong Asian influence with poke bowls and a lot of seafood. But the menu also offers beef tartare on their raw bar menu, as well as a steak offering and grilled chicken. It's a diverse and adventurous menu, all the way from small plates to hefty mains and vegetable sides. For the dessert, try the pavlova, a meringue confection stuffed with coconut mousse and topped with lime sorbet and a grapefruit slice sidecar. Everything is superbly presented, and unquestionably fresh and healthy without veering into twigs and berries territory. The cocktail menu is also playful, with a lot of nontraditional glassware and slight spins on popular drinks; their version of a Paloma uses prosecco instead of a splash of soda. The servers are all dressed in rosé jumpsuits and very attentive. The space is amiable and elegant without being pretentious. The table spacing is a little close, so that conversations carry between guests. The table setting has some nice touches, like the little wooden bench that holds your fork and knife off the table. In European fashion, water can be asked for but it won't be served with ice. Plan on taking your time and enjoying course after course.

    My hubs chose Rosé Gosé for my Mother's Day brunch location. In full transparency, choosing a…read morerestaurant is not his jam. However, today major shout out to the hubs. Rosé Gosé was a delightful Mother's Day lunch spot. It is a whole vibe, and it is uniquely French! When we walked in an artist was playing romantic music on his keyboard, which set the tone for the brunch. It is a small restaurant inside with a larger area of seating on the patio. Of course, our reservations were inside in the comforts of air conditioning. You immediately notice a wine wall hence the name Rosé Gosé. The restaurant has many windows which provide lots of natural light. The tables house miniature yellow roses and utensils sat in a small wooden block...very French. All the servers were dressed in mauve clothing that resemble scrubs from a hospital. If someone stepped out in a French beret, I would have fallen over. Our server, Sergey, immediately served us water and took our order. The restaurant was highlighted as a modern European bistro. The atmosphere was charming, elegant, and stylish making it ideal for a Mother's Day brunch. My hubby ordered a ribeye, eggs and French Fries. I ordered the avocado toast with salmon and egg whites. While I'm not a huge red meat eater, I tasted a piece of the hubs ribeye and it was nicely prepared. My avocado toast was yummy to the nth degree! Everything was perfect. The avocado was precisely cut and at the right level of softness. The salmon was chopped into tiny little squares and so enjoyable to eat. We could not be more pleased. With a name like Rosé Gosé you would expect their drinks to be superb. My hubby ordered a hibiscus tea, which was delightful. I ordered a mimosa that had high quality ingredients and was perfectly balanced...so smooth. We were also pleased with the drinks. This was the first time at Rosé Gosé, however, it definitely will not be the last.

Start with the sourdough, beef carpaccio, and Caesar salad -- all are absolute must-orders and a big reason this place has become one of Austin's most popular Italian spots. The pasta is consistently excellent across the board, but my favorites are the rigatoni and mafaldine. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, and it's the kind of place where you'll already be planning your next order before you leave. One thing to keep in mind: the wait can be long, so it's worth getting your name on the list before heading over. If you're looking for great Italian food in Austin, I'd put Rocco's near the top of the list. I'll definitely be back.

Pricey but delicious. I also had the sourdough bread which was great. My friends had the Rigatoni, fried olives, and Caesar salad all of which were delicious. It was my friend's birthday and we had a large group dinner planned to celebrate her and she left quite disappointed with her experience and won't be coming back. We called to make a reservation and were unable to, and when we showed up and got added to the waitlist we were told that they would not seat us until the entire party was present and that they could not seat our entire party together, instead we would be at all separate tables. Since friends were 15+ minutes late stuck in traffic she had to call them and tell them they could not come anymore due to the restaurant's policy. They wouldn't allow us to order appetizers until we were ready to order everything. They took the order of the other table in our group after the birthday girl's table (our table with the birthday girl had fewer people) and served them way before the birthday girl. They didn't offer any kind of dessert or wish her happy birthday at all. I don't see myself coming back to a restaurant with so many strange rules and lack of quality service. 3 stars because the food was really good but it ruined my friend's birthday.

    BUY IN STORE -- Not online…read more I truly hate writing this review because Rebel Cheese's products are excellent but the fulfillment and customer experience were a mess from start to finish. I ordered a holiday cheese box on December 3 as a Christmas gift. My card was charged immediately. The order never shipped, and I received no communication until I followed up myself, multiple times. After the holidays, I learned (only because I kept pushing) that my order had been internally canceled due to a system glitch, with no email, no refund, and no outreach. I was repeatedly told it would ship on specific dates that came and went. A replacement order was finally sent in January. It arrived late, wet, with melted and ruptured ice packs, and the cheese was very soft to the point my friends weren't sure it was safe to eat. The box also lacked the gift note that was supposed to be included. What bothers me most is that my card would have stayed charged indefinitely if I hadn't chased this down myself. That's not okay especially for perishable food. It's a real shame, because the product itself is great. But based on this experience, I can't recommend ordering gifts or anything time-sensitive unless the fulfillment and communication processes dramatically improve.

Every single cashier has been kind and friendly. The food always came out fresh and hot. Online ordering is easy and my products arrived right on time. No complaints! This is a great place to at least try to make the switch to vegan cheese. There are plenty of options and everything is flavorful.

Just be cautious as it has a very large amount of crushed red pepper. The wine list is OK. They did have a very nice rosé, but ran out of bottles and we had to switch to another one. Although I can appreciate farm to table and seasonal dishes, this one was a little out of their depth. Dishes were just very polarizing.
