My coworkers and I got together at Artipasta to celebrate Festa della Repubblica (Italy's National…read moreDay), and it was my first time trying this place. I can honestly say it won't be my last! It's a small restaurant, but it has a cozy atmosphere that made the whole experience enjoyable. The staff was amazing, friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. I absolutely loved the Pizza "Stria," a crispy flatbread topped with EVOO, sea salt, and fresh rosemary. The bruschetta and Caprese skewers were incredible. Honestly, I could've made a meal out of just those appetizers. For my entrée, I ordered the lasagna, and let me tell you...the portion was huge! I shared it with four coworkers and still had plenty left for myself. Best of all, it was absolutely delicious. Artipasta did not disappoint. Great food, great service, and a great experience overall. I'll definitely be back!

I've been wanting to try Artipasta after seeing it on socials. I asked the guy what the favorites…read moreare are and he said the tagliatelle with meat sauce or the macaroni with mushroom/sausage. I went with the meat sauce tagliatelle and it was quite good! Are prices kinda high for pasta? Yes, but it is handmade so that makes a difference. Not sure I'm running back to try more, but it was a solid meal.

5/5 You really can't…read morego wrong with anything at Rocco's. 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.

The food was great but the service was subpar…read more To eat I had the Malfaldine cacio e pepe, roasted asparagus, morel mushrooms, pecorino & lemon $29 + $8 for shrimp, so nearly $40. 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.

Truly the best pasta in Austin! Made-from-scratch Italian food just a few steps away from The…read moreVortex theater and Butterfly Bar, this place is a must try. Patrizi's operates from a food truck but has its own well-maintained, shaded eating area that is sooo cute and welcoming. Many are willing to queue for freshly-made scratch cooking of this quality, so lines are common. However, the owner/chef takes great pride in customer service so will regularly be out talking to the people in line, asking if they had any questions, and just chatting. Trust me, once you try Patrizi's, it will be hard to feel the same about your other Italian food sources (unless it's your own or your Mom's). Also, if you would like wine or another libation, the Butterfly Bar is pretty cool as well.

Patrizis has been and will continue to be my favorite pasta place in Austin…read more Their Diavolo pasta is literally unbeatable. It is zesty, spicy, bright and so flavorful.

Glad we got a table despite without reserving in advance. There were limited vegetarian options and we got the cacio pepe crust. It was yummy and the crust was just perfect. The portion size was decent too. They also served breads as appetizer for every table.

Wow, this was amazingly bad…read more This was the smallest and thinnest piece of salmon I've ever had. It was $14 extra just for that sad piece of "fish". It was also extremely dry even though I ordered it medium. It tasted like a frozen fish stick. I think the whole thing was fried? Abomination. The salad was also bland. The cheese (of the 3 pieces they put) tasted like cardboard. You can't even see the cheese in the photo. Sad tiny pieces of avocado. They ran out of the seasonal vegetables I originally ordered. I have no idea what happened here. Our main server was nice. The ambiance had a corporately chain restaurant vibe. Someone else had half of their pizza and left the rest. Guess that wasn't good either. $43 after tip and tax just for this "salad" and a lemonade. And $16 for valet after tip and tax. This is definitely a "never again" in my book.

Overall solid dinner, nice packaging, and decent price for Austin. The great: Cannoli large, firm, but too hard of a shell, tasty chocolate chips on the ends, and fresh tasting stuffing - creamy and delicious. And, great value! The very good: Meatball. Nice size, pork and beef (I think), tasty red sauce. Quite Italian. Good value. The good, but: Chopped salad. Good size, a lot of meat, balsamic was tasty, good cheese, but not a legit chopped salad. Real chopped salad- go to Tony Cs. Pizza - Tasted fine, but too doughy for legit NY style pizza (and, I grew up in NY and get there 2-3x a year). Skimpy on the sausage, but excellent flavor/tasty. Would I order from here again. Probably not, as the non-pizza options are limited and the pizza was just okay.

Fresh handmade pasta - need I say more?…read more Their portions are very satisfying and you can tell this was no Olive Garden with its fresh homemade pasta. I personally love their sugo sauce. They also serve complimentary bread and dipping oil to start. We've been here several times and their food never disappoints. The restaurant itself has a very calm and casual vibe perfect for a chill date night or dinner with a friend. Their service is always friendly and timely. Free parking can be found at the city hall parking garage right down the street from it.

It was just iceberg lettuce with croutons and dressing in the side. The build your own pasta dishes were fantastic! The service was not great however, and this wasn't a unique experience as we've been here before and experienced poor service. Our waitress started out attentive but after our appetizers came, she didn't come back for about 15-20 mins to take our order. Our main dishes took about 30 minutes to come out. Once they did we never saw our waitress afterwards. We waited about 30-45 more mins and then we finally went to go find her to ask for to go boxes and the check. All in all we were there for about two hours, but not for good reason. I think this place has great potential, they just need to better train their staff to be more attentive.

We sat in the back room which is soo cute. So glad we checked this place out! The calamari was soo good. It wasn't overly battered and fried, it was just perfect. And my pasta.. omg.. just try it. Everything we ordered was recommended and everything we ordered was amazing. 10/10 recommend. Also so cute again but they have a gelato and bakery inside as well.. and if you're a "first timer" you get a free gelato! Service was great. Every 10 mins staff was checking in and cleaning away plates! Love it!!

We went in blindly as their menu doesn't share vegan options. While the options are limited, Rudy was awesome, so kind and very helpful pinpointing what we were able to order for him. There are quite a few pasta options. BF opted for the SPAGHETTINI ORTOLANO. Was simple but filled with veggies. The focaccia also does not have dairy/egg he was able to enjoy that with the seasoned olive oil they provide. Overall it was a great experience! Staff is always so friendly at this location. Hopefully they add more vegan options in the future. Or mgmt updates menus to annotate what can be made vegan (e.g sub cheese, etc) But we'll be back
