What are we celebrating? – My friend from out of town and I went for a relaxing tuesday dinner. We both liked the location and setting. The wine list was marginal for an italian restaurant. The appetizer list was ok. We ordered the mozarella caprese, and thought it was average. The mozarella was a little dry and the basil seemed liked it had been chopped and stored in a fridge until someone ordered it. After that, the main course, I had the wild boar shanks with a risoto. The wild boar tasted like bland pot-roast and the ris... read more

Great patio – This is a great place to go for dinner or drinks on the patio! We went there on a chilly night but the heaters made it quite comfortable. Try it out!

could be better – I ate at Sagra just once, and I love the location, they did a good job in remodeling what Lory had with Mars before. I'm italian, born and race in Italy and I was extited to try their pizza, but I have to say that, even if the portion is just fine and they clame they use fresh ingredients, you can't say their pizza is an original italian pizza at all. The real pizza was born in Napoli and if you have ever been there you will know the difference.

Great Authentic Italian Food – I have been to Sagra twice over the past few weeks and it was great both times. The restaurant looks like an Italian farmhouse and makes for a great atmosphere for drinks or dinner. The pizzas are made in a real wood burning oven. Before this place opened, I was afraid Austin would never have any good pizza. It is so refreshing that the pizzas aren't drowned with cheese or toppings and have a nice thin crispy crust. I am glad they are not trying to make their menu Texas friendly (like so many r... read more

Not so Great!! – I heard about this restaurant through the grapevine and I was really excited to try it out. It had all the right ingredients to be a spectacular restaurant..unfortunately it was everything but. The place it self is beautiful and very romantic although there are way to many tables and it's quite difficult for the servers to maneuver around the seats just to get to your table. We ate there on a tues night and even though it was pretty busy, the service was slow uncoordinated and frustrating. Their menu is real... read more

Hopefully still working out some kinks – I love trying new restaurants, but this one was a disappointment. When I go to a nice place, I expect to pay a certain price for the meal and the wine, and with that price tag I expect a certain level of service, which I did not receive at Sagra. I do not expect to be offered dessert while someone at the table is still finishing their main course, and I do not expect to be asked if I want the check immediately after received my coffee. As for the food, it wasn't spectacular. The only ... read more

Best Happy Hour in Austin – I recently had the pleasure of visiting one of Austin's newest Italian restaurants, Sagra. Located on San Antonio and 17th st(where the old Mars used to be), Sagra gets my vote for the most charming little Enoteca to arrive in Austin since Vespaio. The chefs seemed to really have it together, and the owners were warm and charming. What really impressed me though was the happy hour. If you dine at the bar(or on the deck) during happy hour, pizzas(from the wood burning oven) are half price. They als... read more

holy smokes! – wow! this place rocks.....from start to finish. i started with a glass of wine(great selection, btw) and the bruschetta of the day (pear and gorgonzola with pecans). so delicious! moving on to the entree....I had the fettuccine rose (shrimp and asparagus in a vodka sauce). if they would sell that sauce by the jar i would never leave the house. it's true, i would just make big plates of pasta and pour the stuff all over it and eat, all day long. okay, so besides having one of the best meals ever, the atmosphere... read more

Great Patio – Great little patio to dine on when the weather is nice. The Arugula Salad was fantastic. Nice wine list. The Eggplant Parmesan was ok - seemed like the marinara sauce was a little overcooked - the whole dish had a burn taste to it. Would definitely try again to see if the marinara was just having a bad night. The service was excellent.
