About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails
Great for happy hour

Named one of Austin Monthly's 2024 Best New Restaurants, Casa Bianca is a full service restaurant and cocktail bar with a focus on high quality seafood, handmade pastas, and local ingredients. Executive Chef/Owner Joseph Zoccoli's maximalist take on contemporary Italian-American cuisine presents a new and exciting addition to the Austin culinary landscape. While the flavors and names of Chef Zoccoli's dishes come from his family’s origin in Italy, the forms and techniques he employs are informed by a decade of experience cooking Japanese cuisine.

Sporting Bauhaus and Art Deco influenced interior design and centrally located just east of Downtown Austin, Casa Bianca offers reservations for bar, dining room, and al fresco patio dining.

Everything was great. Service was really good and they were very accommodating with allergies. The cannoli and the arancini were delicious. Risotto and the lasagna were great and can’t stop thinking about the branzino. Leave room for dessert you can’t miss out on the limoncello donut and milles feullie.

This restaurant exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent and innovative - not your grandma’s Italian food. We’ll definitely be back.

Wonderful server! Overpriced portions in a not so cozy vibe. Super hip feel if that is what you are looking for!

First time at Casa Bianca. Party of three including my son who is a chef. Overall good but needs some upgrades to get to the next level. The restaurant is pretty and very open but it is all hard surfaces and therefore fairly noisy. We were also seated next to a large group celebrating a birthday. The staff probably should have given us more separation as there were other tables in our waiters station. Liked our waiter and he was attentive knowledgeable and fixed issues as they came up. The biggest one was forgetting the bread course and having the pasta dishes come out of order. We ordered the focaccia which we enjoyed and the whipped butter had the right balance of salt and sweet. We also ordered all three of the pasta dishes. The pasta itself was well made but the sauces were a little disappointing. The lamb ragu was not visually appealing and the shrimp with tortelli was pretty but the butter sauce was very one note. Finally we were looking forward to the mushroom lasagna. Nice arribiata sauce but it was a cheese bomb with no discernible mushrooms. We finished with the pork belly with garlic greens and a savory orange jam. That dish was the highlight of the meal and we would come back for it. Dinner for three was $120 with no wine. Ok on value and we did not leave hungry.

Went for HH on a Tuesday and found out there were $1 oysters…I could end it there, but my wife and I had a great experience celebrating a personal milestone. Cocktails were incredible and the half portions of most of the pastas meant we could try multiple plates. Highly recommend.

Tough to beat $1 oysters for their happy hour. Tuna canoli could be one of the better bites in the city. Past was great.
