- CcaseySeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined todayWe really enjoyed It's Italian Cucina. The food was excellent the service was very good. We utilized the prefix menu for Valentine's Dinner and enjoyed every course. Our waitress Katie was quick to help us choose a good wine to go with all our choices. The gluten free options were a nice bonus so my wife could confidently choose her dishes. The service was very well timed, enough so we could enjoy but not so long that we had dirty plates waiting in front of us. Over all an excellent restaurant for a special meal like Valentine's. It was remarkably inexpensive as well. I was surprised the prefix menu with a bottle of wine for two was less than $80 before tip. I would definitely recommend.More infoIt's Italian CucinaPrice: Expensive• Italian• South Austin•4.7

- EErikaAustin •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe went to North Italia for an early Valentine's Day dinner and it was amazing. From the ambiance to the wait staff to the food and drinks, it was all so good. Our server was Mikey and he was high energy, funny and offered his suggestions of menu items. I have to say Mikey was one of the best servers we have had to date! We ordered the Italian Meatballs and the White Truffle Garlic Bread as appetizers. Both were delicious! The garlic bread is stacked high. It was enough for us to enjoy and then take home. I ordered the Strozzapreti and it was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend it! My hubby ordered the Squid Ink Tonnarelli extra spicy and ate every last bite! For dessert we had the Apple Caramel Bourbon Bread Pudding with Vanilla bean ice cream... Heavenly!More infoNorth Italia - Austin 2nd StreetPrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown•4.6

- KKandyAustin •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe went for a Galentine‘s but the service really put a damper on our evening. The restaurant is small and somewhat dark, the noise level is medium so it’s great for conversation amongst friends or an intimate dinner. We had the bucatini, which was excellent. The pizza was very good as well with a crispy crust. We also ordered the shoulder, which I don’t know if I would recommend. Th ricotta whip and the short rib appetizer, both excellent. Small plates, good price point, good for sharing. The service was the only poor part of this experience. The waiter was rushing, kept asking to remove plates while we were still eating. Tossed the dessert menu apparently annoyed. Either bad day for waiter or this is their culture to rush.More infoInteroPrice: Expensive• Italian• East Austin•4.8
