Vespaio - Austin

  • NileGuide Expert Says:

    With only 15 tables, this intimate South Congress restaurant is supremely romantic in a simple kind of way, but it can be noiser than expected thanks to its small size. During your wait, check out the small market, Enoteca Vespaio, just south of the restaurant, for foodie finds to take home and enjoy.

    • Description:

    • This cozy neighborhood eatery is a well-kept secret among the Austin dining elite. The chef lines up a delectable menu of fine Italian favorites. The service is pleasant and the prices are reasonable. The wine selection is extraordinary with more than 30 wines by the glass from which to choose. Dessert options are well worth the indulgence. The wait for a table has become legendary, but the food more than makes up for it.
