on Citysearch Feb 15, 2009My girlfriend and I went to La Traviata for Valentine's day. It was a total hassle finding parking, but it was well worth it for the meal we had. There was a set three course meal and each one was amazing. I'm not a big salad... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 21, 2008The mushroom pasta is so creamy it melts in your mouth. I love the atmosphere. Very "Austin"... Can get a bit loud, but that is just part of the experience. Service is far above average and food is incredible. A "must... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 10, 2006Wonderful Italian dishes, and I loved the atmosphere. It is a bit busy and slightly loud, but that's what gives it its hopping vibe. They have a good wine list, but the service could use some improvement. I'm just... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 24, 2006For years this had been one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. The food is almost always excellent and until the past year the service was also. The service now is quite awful. The past few times my husband and I have... (more)

on Citysearch May 17, 2006<b>In Short</b><br>Although often filled to capacity, the restaurant feels more cozy than bustling. The stone-walled dining room features a bar and wine racks. While the business crowd populates the scene at... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 07, 2006I don't like the atmosphere much - it's a bit noisy with a trendy feel - but the food is so delicious that I think it's my favorite Italian restaurant in Austin anyway. I've been here four times and none of my entrees has... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 25, 2005Spaghetti Aglio Olio is fabulous, better than we have had in Italy or NYC(we used to live in Little Italy). The pasta is always perfectly cooked, never over or undercooked. The Veal Picatta is some of the finest I've... (more)
