Jaclyn TurgeonDecember 19, 2014This is seriously the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to! The little ricotta meatball appetizer is awesome. You won't be disappointed with any entree, but my personal favorite is carbonara
Austin ChronicleJune 19, 2013This casual Italian bistro produces handmade artisanal food at its finest. Customers rave about the delicious house-cured meats, the imported cheeses, the marvelous pastries, and great brunch options.
Victoria SchaeferDecember 14, 2012Reminds me of cafés in Europe. Mussels are fresh and tasty. Not a big French fries fan but these are great. Served with dijon mustard. Inexpensive, good French wine by the glass. Sparkling too.
Jennifer FullerNovember 10, 2015The Margherita pizza was, in the words of Drake, The best I ever had. Even my carnivorous husband loved it and said it was better than his meat pizza. Get it.
Larry ShumakeMarch 4, 2016It was a perfect time to sit outside due to cool weather. The ambulance sirens that went by a couple of times and occasional blaring car radio from the street were the main negatives.
EaterJanuary 14, 2011Unfussy Italian fare with a South Congress-friendly patio. What's more, their deli counter of pates and antipasti sets it above other Austin neighborhood Italian restaurants. [Eater 38 Member]
Sara OhMay 18, 2018Food was really delicious. Nice European atmosphere and pretty good service but little bit slow. Nice that they have a complimentary valet parking in the back.
Visit AustinMarch 13, 2015The deli-style sister of upscale Vespiao, Enoteca focuses on pastas and pizzas. Brunch is excellent. Try their famed veal meatballs. Read more
Kyle BunchFebruary 24, 2013Two great Italian restaurants on South Congress. 'Enoteca is a great lowkey option, Vespaio is its upscale sister.
LukeDecember 29, 2018Cute place with good energy and a lot of heavy duty pastas. The duck confit salad is a sleeper hit
If salty is your thing, the prosciutto pizza is wonderful. The pepper shooters are the best - they're made in house, have a great crunch and a good amount of heat.
Yanet GomezNovember 17, 2012The Suppli are delicious! Best appetizer I have had in years, probably ever. Perfect fried mozzarella and risotto balls in marinara sauce.
Shilpa NicodemusMay 12, 2013Biscuits and honey butter are so good, that even though I had the eggs Benedict, I still ate another biscuit afterwards. Get it.
David FarnumApril 29, 2016Pastas made in-house, as well as the desserts. Excellent, attentive and friendly waitstaff too.
Annora GieseFebruary 5, 2016Manicotti was absolutely delicious! Perfect amount of cheese, Sauce , and touch of lemon!
Jennifer WintersOctober 26, 2014Great gluten free pasta and regular homemade pasta. The flavors were great! The atmosphere is charming.
Cara ParnellDecember 23, 2011I have never been disappointed with this place. Love the atmosphere and all the food. Classy on a moderate budget.

B WNovember 26, 2014Pizza is worth the hefty price tag. Cozy, fancy, expensive, great food and wine.
Sissy DJanuary 5, 2014Incredible meatballs stuffed with cheese and a super delicious tomato sauce. Sooooo good!
Brian StreigMay 4, 2014Great service and wonderful food. The caprese salad was great and all the pizzas are fantastic!
John BJanuary 9, 2013Ehhhh. Great potential. Great menu. Poor execution. Try the limoncello sorbeto and wash it down with a chamomile grappa.
Brittany MullinsApril 13, 2012The spinach salad was amazing. Creamy cheese and crunchy candied walnuts!
Malika CyrillNovember 13, 2011Food is not bad. The mozzarella panini is pretty good & the zucchini fries were surprisingly good. On the other hand, the calamari is definitely a pass...way too soft.#yuck And the service ok.
DeigeMay 27, 2012Sunday brunch is absolutely fantastic. Try the panini, or some pancakes. They're cooked to perfection.
VoniaNovember 18, 2014The Brunch here is seriously overrated... I have no idea why everyone in Austin seems to love it; The ambiance is nice but not worth the hype this is given...
