You’ve never seen anything like this extravagantly decorated tiki-bar funhouse from TatsuAikawa and the team behind Ramen Tatsu-Ya, Kemuri Tatsu-Ya and dipdipdip Tatsu-Ya.Recently named one of the 40 best bars in Austin by Statesman critic Matthew Odam, TikiTatsu-Ya is disguised by a fake travel company on the outside, but stepping in, you’reimmediately transported to another world. The riotous colors, sound effects and over-the-toptropical cocktails in custom mugs and glasses feel like an island vacation or 21+ Disneyland.Shareable drinks come with fire shows, and even the food far surpasses typical bar fare withmouthwatering dishes like Spam Musubi, Crab Lagoon, Kalua Pork and the Pu Pu Platter, whichshouldn’t be missed. Reservations are recommended.

    It's Italian Cucina is our favorite restaurant in Austin. The owner Al, always meets us at the door with a warm welcome and a friendly smile. Our waiter Gabe is always right there to help us in any way he can, and the food is always exceptional! And to top the evening off, there was a very accomplished pianist playing throughout the evening! It was our 46th Wedding Anniversary, and we couldn't have picked a better spot to celebrate! We highly recommend this place of true felt hospitality and friendship for all of your dining desires!

    Terrific food, wine, service and ambience. We went full Italian over steaks. Refreshing Redfish crudo and crispy squash blossoms w delicious ricotta filling were great starters. The frutti di mare and osso bucco are highly recommended entrees. Generous servings of the best Italian cuisine in ATX. Wine selections were excellent and reasonably priced. Bravo!

    From the time we walked in we loved the vibe of Tiki, our server explained the menu to us and answered all of our questions. Then the experience began. The drinks were awesome and the poopoo platter was amazing. We'll definitely be back soon.
