We signed up for their guided tasting experience which was amazing! So educational and informative. In addition to the special edition olive oils & balsamic vinegars curated for the tasting, we were allowed unlimited samples of their infused flavored olive oils as well, which were absolutely delicious! This place offers quality olive oils and balsamic vinegars at very reasonable prices. We ended up taking home several bottles- their Sola Stella, Terra Verde, & Sicilian olive oils as well as their Traditional Balsamic and Bourbon Balsamic. After the tasting we enjoyed a light lunch at their bistro, which was delightful. Farm to table, fresh food paired with a bottle of Chardonnay made for the perfect end to our experience. Highly recommend!

My wife and I enjoyed the olive oil tasting. Interesting learning a bit about olive oil making and…read morethe history of olive oil. Definitely gave us a better idea of what true olive oil should taste like (most store-bought olive oils are adulterated with seed oil). We also were able to taste three of their specialty balsamic vinegars, which were outstanding. I left with a bottle of their wild cherry balsamic to mix with my next old-fashioned drink at home. Their bistro serves a great menu. We sipped on their tasty wild cherry and peach sangrias (made with their balsamic vinegars) and thought that their lemon caesar salad with chicken was excellent. We might come back here for lunch if we visit the area again.

Parking - plenty and a private lot. But a bit off road (lol don't bring a low car unless you get…read morelucky with paved parking). Service - we have been here about 4-5 times, but service has never been too great or too friendly. The bar on the beer side is always pleasant but the tasting bar side always has a bit of a tiny rude vibe - and I don't mention it ever but I'm in the wine industry and we don't see this normally. Also tonight we were asked to move to a different table as they didn't prepare for a Harry Potter event ahead of time just as we settled in after a rough day (and our young pup finally chilled out). It felt we were being pushed out and the other table was by the window/door that was glass so I was cold. My senior mom was cold after we had found a great spot that was warm for her. Live music tonight was also quite off - I wouldn't suggest this place anymore. I'm not sure if in the last year it has gone down hill but it's no longer worth the drive for a mediocre experience. They gave many potential beautiful spaces but they don't utilize them, nor update them, so the vibe is just outdated. No music on the speakers can be heard when there isn't live music. So sorry to not write the best review here but it's honest.

Stunning experience…read more This place has to be some of the best food my wife and I have EVER had. We came here to celebrate our anniversary recently after a close friend recommended it. Normally when I hear Italian I think of American Italian - heavy, one note, and leaves you feeling terrible after. Trattoria Lisina was none of those things. First, the location is beautiful. The entire restaurant is surrounded by Texas hill country beauty. The restaurant balances class and cozy in a way hard to explain. The wait staff is excellent and knowledgeable on the menu. Even the small details like their uniforms were excellent. The food is hard to describe. My wife spent an hour post dinner discussing how incredible it was. Every dish we tried was perfection. The fried elements were crisp. The raw elements melted in your mouth like butter. The entrees were executed in a way I've never had pasta! We will absolutely make this our "special place" for life occasions moving forward.

We started with salads, crab cake, and some focaccia bread that honestly disappeared in about two minutes, soft, warm, exactly what you want before a big meal. For mains we ordered several dishes: the mezzanine ravioli (hands down the winner, don't skip this one), spaghetti and meatballs, and the spaghetti bolognese. All solid, but that ravioli stuck with me. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert. The gelato is fantastic, and the classic chocolate cake with salted caramel is the kind of thing you end up fighting over the last bite of. Overall, great spot, and the service is excellent!!!

We've stayed here before and had such a great experience that we were excited to come back --…read moreespecially since this time we brought a friend who had never been. Unfortunately, our experience this time didn't quite live up to the first. We arrived around 4:00 PM and were told the dinner menu didn't start until 5:00 PM, which was completely fine. We decided to order appetizers/salads from the lunch menu instead and wait until 5 to order our meals. All three of us ordered the Cleopatra salad, which was listed at $16 on the lunch menu. We expected it to either be really good or at least a substantial portion for that price. Unfortunately, we all found it overly sweet from the combination of the honey dressing, candied pecans, and cranberries, and there was very little feta. To make matters worse, we later noticed that we were charged $18 per salad, the dinner price, even though we ordered them around 4:20 PM. Paying $54 for three small, appetizer-sized salads with very few toppings was extremely disappointing. We were also told they were out of sangria because they had sold out the night before and hadn't had time to make more. It was a Saturday, so that was another disappointment, especially because we had really enjoyed the sangria during our previous visit. The biggest disappointment, however, was the shrimp scampi. Our waiter was very kind and actually recommended it, so I was looking forward to trying it. I almost never send food back to the kitchen, but this was one of those occasions. The shrimp were plain and steamed with no seasoning, and the pasta appeared to have no sauce or flavor. When I moved the pasta aside, there was a watery yellow liquid at the bottom that tasted very bland. For $29, I expected much more, and this is an Italian place after all. I ended up ordering the Fettuccine Giulio Cesare instead, which was much better and had considerably more flavor. That said, the lasagna and cheesecake are definitely the way to go here -- both were delicious. I just wish the overall menu were more consistent. When prices are on the higher end, you expect the quality and execution of the dishes to be consistent as well. It's frustrating to have some dishes that are absolutely delicious while others feel underwhelming or simply not worth the price. We really wanted to love our return visit as much as the first, so it was disappointing to leave feeling this way. Hopefully some of these things can be addressed, because there is clearly a lot of potential here and some truly great food.

The red wines were very light and the first 2 too tart for my liking. Everyone has their personal preference. It was definitely worth stopping.
