Best Italian in Austin, in my opinion.

Best Italian in Austin, in my opinion.

About a year ago, my girlfriend and I embarked on a quest to find the best pasta in town. We tried a number of places including most of the up-and-comers - but none of them could match the quality and consistency of Vespaio. We still try new spots on occasion, but keep coming back here.

Arrive early (before 7pm) and you can typically find a seat in the bar (where they will serve the full menu) with no wait. Try the eggplant pomodoro or the papardelle - both fantastic! The lasagna is incredibly rich, but also wonderful.
