Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in South Austin

We had a great time! This was our one-day-delayed Valentine's dinner and we had a great time. Our server was wonderful and the food was delicious. The food was straightforward - no upside-down, exotic, strange creations - but very nice and tasty. Ambiance was warm and wonderful. As for price? About 3x of Olive Garden, but about 50% of what we have had to pay for Valentine's Day dinners in Austin for the last several years. If you need dirt cheap, go to Olive Garden. If you can afford to pay more for a more polished and romantic experience, Quattro Gatti Ristorante delivers great value for the money paid. We will be back :-)

Food and service is outstanding. Get the grill sampler (you’re welcome). It’s a little loud but what restaurant isn’t these days

This is one of our favorite spots. Food and service is amazing every time!

We had not been back to Red Ash since before the Pandemic. Shame on us! Now we certainly will make a new reservation as soon as possible, which will probably be a few months from now. Red Ash is so popular that it is that difficult to get a table. But the wait is certainly worth it. This evening we tried the Octopus a la Plancha at our server, Emma's suggestion. Octopus for our first time. It was wonderfully delicious and tender. For dinner we split Frutti di Mare, a wonderful selection of seafood laid on a bed of the best black and white sphagettini. Cooked perfectly! Emma was the perfect hostess and we were able to reconnect with Brand Favata, our favorite server from six years ago. It seems that very few few employees leave Red Ash. It is such a wonderful restaurant!! We'll be back very soon.
