Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Downtown

From the moment we Met the hostess, who provided us with one of the best seats of the house known we’ve been waiting two months to eat at the restaurant to staff that provided water or waitress. Emma was amazing. Everyone was kind and informative, and the food was spectacular. Seafood was out of this world. The drinks were on target and dessert the black lava cake that was suggested amazing highly highly recommend this restaurant. Everyone was cordial and nice and really provided us an excellent experience

amazing food. 50% off wine on Wednesday’s was a nice surprise.

Memorable birthday experience with fine Mediterranean food including a shallot hummus, perfect lamb chops, butternut squash and several other shared entrees. Our perfect server Gian Luigi from Puglia, Italy helped make the evening fun and educational with his knowledge about wines and engagement with our family about regional Italian cooking questions. All staff were friendly, helpful with our table request and efficient.

I'm a regular here so I'll be brief. Chef/proprietor Gianfranco makes a great menu of dinner dishes based on the best ingredients available. His pizza dough and bread dough are first rate, in my opinion the best bread in Austin. Pizzas are the standards along creative pies. The wine vault is unique, with Italian standards but also from countries East of Italy, some superb. The staff is attentive. My favorite Italian in town.
