Austin Italian Restaurants

Pizza

1. Frank & Angie's

Neighborhood: Downtown

Just like it's next door neighbor Huts, I don't see the appeal.    You CAN get a table here.  IF you can find parking.  Maybe they make you park…

2. Mangieri's Pizza…

Neighborhood: Circle C Ranch

This is perfectly good pizza! I like to build my own with whole wheat crust, goat cheese, Canadian bacon, garlic and spinach. It makes it a little bit…

4. Enoteca Vespaio

Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

Wonderful spot. I can't believe we didn't make it to Entoca a little sooner.   I've always been underwhelmed by Vespaio. Its not bad, but between the…

5. Asti Trattoria

Neighborhood: Hyde Park

possibly the most underrated restaurant in Austin.   Service is always amazing and super knowledgeable on the food and wine.  Love the vibe inside and…
