I've been to both Enoteca and Vespaio several times for lunch or dinner and it never disappoints. A couple of months ago, I went with my family for Sunday brunch and it blew us all away--so delicious! They do eggs Benedict a few different ways and they're all the best you've ever had. We also shared the basket of assorted breads filled with flakey croissants and scones that were completely satisfying. All of their coffee/espresso drinks are great. I can't wait to go back!

A nice restaurant with intimate atmosphere. Food is not the best. Salad was average. The risotto was over cooked and the vitello saltimboca was good but the spinach side was bitter. Dessert is the only thing that deserves 5 stars. The service was very, very slow, but the waitress was nice and very professional.

Quite possibly the best bang for your buck when it comes to Italian food in Austin! I personally recommend the veal meatballs--the guilt is thick, but the taste is overwhelming. In this world, taste > guilt.

This is hands down the best italian restaurant in Austin. Tonight i had the melanzana and zuchini
with veal meatballs and speghetti with oil and garlic, the fried eggplant eggplant was breaded and so tender .the breading was light and the eggplant was stacked high with zucini and mozarella in layers with an aribiatta red sauce omg its so so good
dont miss this place if you come to Austin.
Im from Brooklyn , this is the real deal..great!!!

Awesome place! Originally tried going to Vespaio right next door and the wait was 40 mins to an hour. We walked outside and saw Enoteca (appears to be a sister restaurant to Vespaio) walked in and we were immediately seated! Beautiful and closeknit atmosphere - absolutely wonderful food! Very rich cheesecake. Would definitely recommend it.

I've been here for dinner and also just for an afternoon tea/coffee. Both times I enjoyed myself and the had a good experience. The food menu is Italian but a little more creative than just the classics and everything we had was delicious. The coffee and desserts are great too, they know how to make the classic drinks very well. If you like pate, the duck liver is one of the best I've ever had

Have eaten here twice now on an annual cycling trip with a large group of friends. Staff is professional, courteous and accommodating. Food is excellent and wine/cocktail selection is outstanding.

My wife and I had a superb experience here. Delicious Italian food in a relaxed but elegant surrounding. The wood fired oven adds both to the taste of the dishes and the ambiance of the restaurant. The menu is vast and includes a page of specials that change daily. I had an excellently prepared wagyu beef steak as my main, which came with a beautiful lasagna packed with flavor. My wife enjoyed the pappardelle al ragu di agnello - the pasta were hand made, the lamb was good and the sauce excellent and plentiful. Service was very attentive. A great option for a date or if your fancy special Italian food.

Lived in Italy fur 6 years. This is THE BEST, most authentic Italian food we've had since leaving Italy. If you like authentic Italian, this is the place to go. We drove over 2 hours to go back! We'll be back every time we're near Austin.

We went there the evening before an Iron Man triathlon event for carb loading. Amazing food and ambiance. Good service. The pizza was the highlight but the donut puffs were delicious too. We sat right next to the pizza dude, who artfully throws the dough and puts it into this awesome brick oven. Cooked to perfection. We had pasta dishes as well and they were tasty. There was a wait but it went by pretty quick and was a little shorter than what they d estimated.

This place is AMAZING. I come here every time I take a trip to Austin. The restaurant ambiance is so relaxing, it makes you feel like you're in a fancy cafe. Nothing on the menu will disappoint you as everything is delicious; my favorite items to order are the mixed olives antipasti, proscuitto charcutrie board, and the arrabiata pizza.

Great service, and quite possibly the best brunch I've ever had. The taleggio scramble's fresh mushrooms give an earthy flair to perfectly creamy scrambled eggs and spinach. The polenta and sausage made for perfect sides. Will definitely be coming here regularly for Sunday brunch.

The food was so perfect and the atmosphere was unmatched for a lunch date! They even have free valet parking in the back, which is invaluable for a restaurant on South Congress! I had the cheese stuffed veal meatballs and spaghetti and it was amazing!

We've been here twice now and concluded its not worth coming back. They skimp on the protein and vegetables. The kids sauce was spicy, and they even charged for refills on the kids drinks. Marginal experience at a premium price.

Every time I visit Vespiao the food and service are outstanding. Elizabeth, our waitress, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive but not intrusive. She paced out service perfectly. The food is so damn good. Retarded good. Reasonable wine pricing as well. Can't go wrong.

One of my favorite types of foods is Italian and this place doesn't disappoint. Staff was extremely courteous and table service excellent. This is also probably one of the only Italian places where you can order a Mezcal cocktail was a welcome and refreshing surprise. Our party started off with marinated mushrooms and stuffed bell peppers which blew me away. They are definitely a must try and the spice is spot on and not a smidge too spicy. They bread came with a nice hummus sauce and was very fresh along with butter of course. Then we enjoyed fresh mozzarella with a smokey tomato puree with an arugula lemon aioli salad that was simply bliss. Also served was a personal favorite of mine which is smoked garlic bread that is very hard to find; the mesquite wood was quite palpable. The star of the meal was of course the lasagna that was made with green, yes green, noodles and unlike any I've tried before. It came with sausage that was just cooked perfectly and honestly, I couldn't put the pasta down. It came recommended as award winning and I can see that this was no exaggeration. I accompanied the meal with Moscato which was quite sweet, flagrant and equisite tasting of grape flavor often lacking in other varieties.

In short, it is one of the best Italian restaurants in town and I definitely recommend it. The price is on the high side but must worth it. Perfect place to go on a date.

The flavors are great. The calamari appetizer was over salted and the breading was soggy. Great wine selection. The spaghetti olio was a very small portion size, my friends had way more of an entree size portion of their dishes. The Tiramisu was the best I've had in Austin, and definitely the star of the show. Be prepared for higher prices. All in all 4 stars.

one of my absolute favorite places in Austin. They do get busy on the weekends so make sure to come earlier to get on the waiting list. They will call when the table is ready! Amazing italien food - LOVE everything on the menu and the prices and portions are fair!

Vespaio is a great restaurant not just because the food and cocktails ( Tommy is arguably the best bartender in Austin), but the service is fantastic. It's not rare to see the owner out interacting with guests and even bringing out a course or two! If I'm on South Congress, I will eat as Vespaio every time, it's just that good!

A great deli (cheeses, hams) and pastry place. Nice cozy cafe. GREAT BRUNCH PATIO. An very good breakfast and lunch menu.

Bad:
Can be overcrowded at times. TEA/COFFEE MUGS ARE CONSTANTLY DIRTY, IN TEA STAINS. And personnel don't even seem to bother wash them to keep white. C'mon people, would you drink out of tea-stained cups in your house???

Great options for all kinds of food preferences My friend was on keto And got what they wanted Panini s were fulfilling

Specially if your diet preferences desert..... it s the place to go
The only hassle was finding a cool spot where the AC could blow off the heat from a hot day. But they did their best to seat us near their wine cooler

One of the best Italian spots in all of Austin. It's the little sister to Vespaio next door so you should expect the same level of high quality service and food. Your wallet will suffer slightly less at Enoteca than at Vespaio, but your taste buds won't know the difference and your wait time will be significantly shorter.

Recently I went and got their Porchetta sandwich for lunch and was fully satisfied with a hefty sandwich full of slow roasted Kurobuta (black pig) pork on a lightly buttered ciabatta roll. The succulent pork was joined with the earthy aroma of mustard greens and the strong healthy portion of chopped garlic. If you're a vampire or not a fan of garlic, I'd steer clear of this dish.

Manager tonight seemed to not care about her job and was more interested in her phone then assisting customers understand they're check... Talked down to the staff... Really absolutely ridiculous.... Come to find out from over hearing if u use favor u get an additional charge at least that's what she told the gentleman that was in there tonight... I'm sorry I find charging someone without there knowledge is completely unacceptable. You're tipped if we decide to to you based off service not because you think ur owed it.... I do however find it interesting all of a sudden there's an additional charge... I literally used favor not even a week ago and placed almost a $200 order.... No additional fees or "gratuity" and I did not advise my favor girl to leave a tip.... Interesting.... Rather crooked way of doing business if I must say so.
