One of our favorite places. The owner bend over backwards to please you and the food is fabulous. The menu is large and there is nothing we have ordered that has not been excellent!

Went for our 11th Anniversary with a group of friends. We may have been the loud ones laughing. The interior was very nice but comfortable - not stuffy at all. Our waiter Gabe was excellent, steering everyone to their own perfect dish. The wine was superb - a nice Barbera d’Asti. The owner came over and spent quite a bit of time with our table - you can truly tell this is his passion. Take the time to go south on Lamar and spend a wonderful evening indulging yourself.

Nice, local Italian style restaurant on South Lamar. Good food, nice service, comfortable atmosphere. Parking can be a small challenge - as of most of Austin seems to be today. Otherwise, recommended.

Our pleasure serving you. On parking, most people are not aware that we have 2 lots (North and South).
