Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chef/Owner John Carver

From the OpenTable editors: It can take months to get into Chef John Carver’s wildly popular Italian restaurant, where there’s a custom woodfired grill at the heart of the industrial space. But it’s worth the wait for fresh pasta and epic steaks, like the cappelletti “bishop’s hats” stuffed with spinach and sauced with brown butter, alongside a 50-day dry-aged porterhouse “la Fiorentina.” Don’t miss the charred veggies, like roasted vine tomatoes with creamy burrata, and wash it all down with a house negroni.

    Food and service were terrific. Don't sleep on the Pollo Alla Diavolo! It was a hidden gem on the menu.

    Not a great experience sadly after waiting months to get a table. Salad was soggy, very underseasoned. Gnocchi was mostly ok, but the sauce not properly emulsified and had a gritty mouthfeel. Slightly unappetizing. Steak came out suuuuper undercooked and by the time the server came to check on us we just abandoned it - they did offer to refire it but at that point it was a lost cause. Chocolate lava cake had good flavor but the cake was raw and undercooked. Overall extremely subpar meal. Very underwhelming for supposedly one of the best Austin has to offer.
