This is my first time at this location and it was a great time! Girls dinner night! I originally made a reservation for 8, but with the storms it ended up only being four of us. But four was perfect. The reservation process was easy and the staff was super accommodating. I requested an area that was a little secluded with less noise so we could all catch up with each other. And they picked the most perfect table that was tucked away in its own little private area but you could still see everything that was going on in the restaurant. Chef's kiss! Our server was so friendly and fun and everything came out at the right time and on time. It's Italian so of course I ordered a red wine, Cabernet to be exact. We ordered a few shareable bites for the table and I really enjoyed the bruschetta and the meatballs! For dinner I had the butter lettuce salad (so good!) and then a butternut squash ravioli that was absolutely amazing. I would order that again and again and again but... There are way too many delicious options to get the same thing every time you go. Everyone ordered something different and everyone had the same reaction. Delicious! I cannot wait to return and try more things off of the menu. Note, it's always best to make a reservation but keep in mind they also have a full bar with seating around the bar. I definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try and make sure you're hungry when you go because there's so many delicious menu items to choose from. read more

Previously, I'd only been to the Barton Springs location. I was happy to check this one out for a light lunch on Mother's Day. The Arboretum Market (not to be confused with the actual shopping plaza across the street of the same name) was happening and some folks were set up at Juliet selling their arts & crafts wares. Every Saturday 11 am- 3 pm in the Juliet parking lot is the Arboretum Farmers Market. For a light lunch I shared a Caesar salad and cup of tomato bisque soup with my boyfriend. Perfect Juliet goodness. Since it was Mother's Day and during brunch hours, they got extremely busy. However, service didn't suffer. We were in and out just like that! read more

I've been to Juliet's several times and unfortunately many of us were disappointed with the food and service this time. The butter lettuce dressing was off (more oil than vinaigrette flavor b/c they didn't mix the dressing well), they didn't offer welcome bread service, and my friends also felt their food was not as good as when we've all been before. They did take off some of the price of two of our butter lettuce salads. We were surprised that adding salmon cost $14, which seemed excessive! It was nice they seated us in a separate table for 6 since it was my birthday and they did give me a birthday treat, which I appreciated. The others all ordered deserts as well but I forgot to take photos of the deserts. They didn't seem that full/busy, but we had to waive down someone several times to answer questions and ask where certain items were. Our server was very nice and helpful but often we couldn't locate her so others we could flag down helped us. I hope they address some of the food quality and service items because many of us have really enjoyed going here in the past. read more

We ordered the chicken piccata and the lasagna and paid extra for bolognese. I'm Italian and neither tasted as if they came from an Italian restaurant. The piccata was heavily seasoned w sage and the breast bone in and had a visible sauce with no flavor. Would not suggest ordering. The bolognese tasted heavy vinegar almost bbq flavored. Highly disappointed for a date night out! read more

Juliet is consistently just "meh" to me. It feels a bit over priced for pretty run of the mill mediocre food. The service is always decent, and the building is very cutesy inside and out. So it does score some points for that. I just don't ever get impressed by the food. read more

Juliet Italian Kitchen - Italian cold cut - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came here for a group dinner. The server and supporting staff were very friendly. There is a wide variety of food from pizzas to pastas to seafood. I had the butternut squash ravioli. They were more like dumplings with butternut squash paste inside. It was OK. I probably should have gotten a pizza. The restaurant is good for casual group dinners as they split the bill and there's ample parking. I'm not sure I would plan an event here but if there's another group dinner, I wouldn't be opposed to going because the service was friendly and the restaurant is convenient for groups. read more

Maria came to the table with smiles and absolutely kindness. I arrived on the later end of brunch. I ordered the Bolognese and a side of scrambled eggs. It was edible. A bit unseasoned for me. So, I asked for salt & pepper to rescue me from the blandness of this meal. Decent side portion. Garlic bread was delicious. Other than that...This was my second visit to Juliet and I think I like this spot better for dinner, not so much brunch. read more

I am a frequent flyer at Juliet - workday lunches, happy hours with my girlfriends - and a top choice for our Friday family date nights. The food is solid, with fantastic service. We always know we will have a great waitstaff experience. BUT my kids adore Grace, a waitress we have had a few times. She is so kind and lovely to the girls, we are so thankful. read more

We'd been eyeing this place for years. Finally we made our way over. We had a kind of weird experience starting off - the restaurant seemed to be empty but the hostess was adamant about seating us at the bar. We agreed to wait there until a table became available outside, but she still insisted that we sit at the bar. Eventually, we moved to the outside area that was technically still managed by the bartenders, which wasn't a problem, but we felt unsure about why we weren't sat in a more common area where other people were sitting. There were def open spaces. We ordered the frozé, the frozen espresso martini, a gin and tonic and a queen margherita. All were delicious. For food we ordered the lobster arancini and the pepperoni sausage mushroom pizza - very fresh, and everything came out very fast. Aside from that awkward seating thing, everything else was great. The guys tending the bar were awesome. Food and drinks were awesome. The space is beautiful. We will be back! read more

Finally got to try Juliet Italian Kitchen where did not know there was a North Austin location. This restaurant was classy with top notch service and the food was amazing. The decor was modern Italian. The menu had some great choices so for lunch selected the Pasta Primavera. It was an unexpected take on this dish where at first looked like three enchiladas but was pasta wrapped around wonderful filling that was mouth watering with nice flavor. The bread that was on top was the best I had in a while where was so soft and fluffy. I you are looking for a place for a romantic setting or business get-together then this place is perfect. read more

I met a business colleague for lunch at Juliet's Italian Kitchen in the Arboretum shopping center. The restaurant has traditional Italian food with an updated flare. We both ordered the Cesar salad. It was bit heavy on the Cesar dressing. I ordered chicken piccata (chicken breast with wine caper sauce), spinach and polenta and my colleague ordered mushroom manicotti. The manicotti came with Italian bread, which I am told was delicious. My chicken piccata was perfectly cooked...slight crisp on the outside and super tender inside. The spinach and polenta were equally good. While we did not have any drinks at lunch, you can see from the bar an extensive collection of spirits, and their wine room which had a broad selection of wine choices. Our server was helpful and attentive. Our food was delivered fast and steaming hot, which was greatly appreciated. Juliet's features both indoor and outdoor seating on its spacious patio. The vibe of the restaurant is modern sophistication. Whether you are coming for lunch or dinner meeting, date night, group meeting (enclosed portion of the restaurant) or a meet up, Juliet's excels in its Italian culinary skills, and distinctive service. read more

Hey cousins lean in! I have visited this location twice this year. The first time was for a Valentines and the second was to celebrate a good friend's birthday. Reservations were quite easy. I came to the up app and follow the instructions. The option to sit outside on the patio with live jazz. Music was definitely going to be a vibe, so I made a reservation for four. Seating and reservations were quite accommodating One of the favorite items in this location are the photos on the wall and the beautiful glass wine cellar. I am not necessarily a wine person that knows anything other than the beauty of it. We did order a wine for my friends birthday, along with several hors d'oeuvres and individual plates. We listen to the jazz music, did a lot of catching up And bugged "Shay D" our waiter who took great care of us. When things aren't on the menu just know that you're at an Italian establishment and they can make it for you. At least that is the way our waiter made me feel. After helping in accommodating all of our request, our waiter brought out a nice dessert to celebrate our friends birthday. By this time, the jazz players had already left, and the restaurant on the patio area was pretty empty. We took an opportunity to do some photos, place some music, and just laugh and dance. my friend had an amazing time and our go bags were quite yummy. Thank you, Shay D for your assistance and helping us have a great celebration, and thank you Juliet for a great experience read more

Quick service but food was flavorless. We tried chicken parm and vodka pasta and Cesar salad was the best thing there.

Highly recommend the lasagna! Our waitress had great recommendations and she told me to go with the lasagna and meat sauce which was a great choice! The portion size was massive!

Bland pasta, lifeless pizza, and zero fresh flavor -- Juliet's Kitchen (Arboretum) was a total miss from first bite to last. Came in expecting fresh, flavorful Italian food... left seriously disappointed. We ordered pasta, pizza, and drinks -- every dish was bland, flat, and tasted like it was made with low-quality or not-so-fresh ingredients. The pasta sauces had no flavor, the pizza cheese and toppings lacked any freshness, and nothing stood out as worth coming back for. My manicotti pasta looked nothing like the one pictured in another review here on yelp. The chicken picotta was rubbery chewy. Disgusting taste overall. Our server was friendly and pleasant, but the food was the main event -- and it missed the mark completely. Ambience is okay, but with no music or energy in the room, it felt lifeless. For the prices and the promise of "Italian," this was a let-down from start to finish. (Minor thing - but also of note that I noted in my reservation that we were celebrating a birthday. We went in and stated that again, yet no one acknowledged the special occasion -- not even a simple "happy birthday" by the receiver or hostess, that's super odd etiquette for a so called nice restaurant). read more

Came here for an event. I like the decor of the restaurant. Very elegant and upscale. The food however, was just alright. We had a butter lettuce salad, bruschetta, and meatballs for the appetizer.

I'll be honest, I didn't go into Juliet Italian Kitchen with super high expectations, mainly because of its location in an area that seems catered to hotel guests. But wow, I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience! First off, service was quick and our waiter was fantastic -- super friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. The food? Delicious. I started with the Mozzarella-Stuffed Arancini as an appetizer, and let me tell you, it was soooo good. Crispy on the outside, cheesy goodness on the inside. I could've eaten a whole plate of them! For my main course, I had the Chicken Saltimbocca, and I scraped my plate clean. It was that good. My friend ordered the Italian Sausage & Cheese Ravioli, and they loved it too. The cocktails were great as well -- nice balance and paired perfectly with the meal. Overall, Juliet really exceeded my expectations. Delicious food, great cocktails, and excellent service. I'll definitely be back! read more

I think I've reviewed this place before, but I was here on my own tonight and actually sat on the patio for the first time.Normally I sit at the bar. I called first because I wanted to make sure I could bring my pup and enjoy the experience together. Service was fabulous, good food and very relaxing. They immediately brought a bowl of water for my dog, which was a touch I always look for. It was not busy for some reason but the weather was spectacular. I ordered a dinner salad. Lightly dressed and very tasty. Next I asked for an accommodation by subbing shrimp on the scampi dish for salmon. No problem! The pasta was a but gummy and the sauce was quite oily but flavor was good. They served the dish with crusty house made foccacia! Yumm. My complaint would be for saucy dishes to have a different to leftover/to go container other than paper based so it isn't soggy or leaky. The bag was also paper...feel me?! I'll be back for the things they do right because those were done well. read more

Juliet Italian Kitchen (Arboretum location) The experience was just all right. Surprisingly, there weren't many vegetarian pasta options on the menu. We ordered the only vegetarian item available -- it tasted good but felt like it could've been better. That said, the atmosphere was great. It's located in the Arboretum shopping center, which is full of great clothing stores, art galleries, boba spots, sweet treat shops, and even a little observatory view and a bench -- perfect for a quick, relaxing hour. read more

Juliet Italian Kitchen - Mushroom Manicotti with red sauce - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

I met up with girlfriends for a Sunday brunch that was fine, but nothing special. Despite several ingredients that should pop (e.g., caramelized onions, smoked cheddar), my breakfast pizza was shockingly bland. The only flavor was the heavy handed everything bagel seasoning on the crust. My meal wasn't offensive, but it wasn't good either. FWIW, one of my dining companions raved about the caponata on her egg platter and another remarked that her salmon was perfectly cooked. Perhaps I might return to try a few other dishes before ruling out Juliet altogether? On a positive note, our waiter was a delight, striking the perfect balance of engaging us without hovering. read more

I came here with a group of 20 for a wine and dine experience. They have a private room off to the side for such groups which can be closed off to keep the noise out. This room has two flatscreen's on either side of the room and can seat about 30 people. It can also be bisected into two separate rooms. The only problem is that the room gets pretty warm quickly and there are no ceiling fans. The restaurant itself has a nice open feel to it and there's a nice covered outside dining area. We did not have a sitdown dinner so they brought out numerous appetizers instead. About half the appetizers were basically untouched, but the pepperoni pizza was devoured and never replaced. The service was decent, but the apps didn't hit the table until half an hour past the starting time. We had a good time and I'd probably come back another day to try some meals from the menu. Apps***, service 4*, overall 31/2*. read more

Finally got to try Juliet Kitchen with a friend for dinner! It's located in the arboretum with other stores and restaurants so there's plenty of parking around. A lovely restaurant, with beautiful decor. A nice place for a meal with a friend or a special occasion! They serve bread with pepper, olive oil, and salami (I think). Which was a nice starter. The staff was very friendly. Plenty of services on the floor, refilling drinks, and clearing away any dishes. I got rigatoni pasta and added shrimp. It was pretty tasty, I think it could've had a bit more flavor, but overall it was a good meal. They have a good wine selection as well! read more

Went for lunch on a Friday afternoon. Space is beautifully decorated and they have a large outdoor patio as well. The weather was nice and so the doors were open so it gave it an indoor/outdoor feel. Sat at high tops in the bar area- our server was quick and attentive. They have wine flights and an overall large wine selection. Lunch special was an app and entree for $19 or a sandwich and salad. Ordered the bruschetta and sausage spinach pizza and the caprese sandwich with Caesar salad. Everything was yummy but the star of the show was the pizza. The rich cream sauce with the spice of the sausage and the spinach went so well together. Overall great lunch spot with a variety of items to choose from. read more

We ordered take-out from Juliet to give it a try. My butternut squash soup was quite tasty. I liked it. My seafood pasta was OK, nothing special, but I didn't hate it. My wife's chicken parmesan was OK as well. But she said the spaghetti was practically inedible. I tried some of the dessert cannolis and stopped. Not good at all. My wife tried her cheesecake and fell in love. It was great. So at least there was that. So ... certainly no ringing endorsements, but not the worst. Given the inflated prices, though, we would have expected more. read more

This restaurant is boring. It's a chain. I only went because I was at a meeting. Someone else picked it because she likes the MALL, and she paid. We were in a weird back room with two tvs and a long table. The food was boring - mediocre "Italian American." The good news is that my gluten free friend could find enough to eat. The staff was fine. It was clean. If you must go, it's fine. It could be in any town in America. Meh. read more
