Still one of Austin's trendiest restaurants, Vespaio doesn't
quite draw the long lines that it did when it first opened in the
late 1990s, but the weird policy for reservations -- they're
accepted only for early hours on off-days -- ensures that the
see-and-be-seen bar is always packed. The swanked-up old storefront
with lots of exposed brick and glass is a fun setting, and the food
is worth waiting for, but you can drop quite a bit of dough on expensive
wines while you're doing so. Best bet: Get an order (they're
huge) of the crispy calamari while you're waiting for a table.
The spaghetti alla carbonara is super, as is the veal scallopine
with mushrooms. In the mood for a go-for-baroque pizza? Try the
boscaiola, topped with wild boar sausage and Cambozola cheese.

Quite possibly the best Italian restaurant in town. You will
enjoy every part of your dining experience. Atmosphere, service
and most importantly the food. Be sure to make reservations or
go casual, hang out in the bar and snack on some delicious tapas.

This is truly the best Italian Grill in Austin. Expect a wait,
but it's well worth it. Each dish is prepared fresh at the time
you order it. That includes the individually made lasagne. Wine
is about $5 a glass and dinners are anywhere from $10 to $30. Waitstaff
is friendly and are able to make informed recommendations. Nightly
specials are exceptional.
