Fantastic and very popular Italian restaurant, very hip scene, creative dishes that taste divine. – My husband and I love Vespaio, especially the bar for our date night. We always seem to get a couple of chairs without too much wait, maybe 10 minutes. We go during the week, after 7pm. We love the ahi tuna appetizer which has delicous tuna , endive, capers, fabulous & unique bread . etc. They serve a complimentary appetizer with bread, I think it was humus, but better than what you buy at the store. Their pizza is exactly how... read more
The best – I don't like in general Pastas, but to be honest far away the best restaurant experience. Great Food 10+++++++
Not for dates. – Let's just hope this spot doesn't become a popular date spot, with proms, des, sororities and the uninitated. It's food that counts. Anouther sign that success can *ill even the fatted calf.
Great date spot! – My husband and i went there on a reccomendation from our b&b and we were sooooo glad we went! I was surprised to see that there is such a long wait alot of the times as we walked right in. I guess it was a sunday night around 8pm though!! The caesar does not have alot of dressing true but the 2 pastas we had were AMAZING. my hubby had a special spare rib ravioli and i had the papparadelle pasta with mushrooms from the regular menu-SOOO tasty. We had a hilarious waiter too- Mallory..what a great job he did.... read more
Be careful before ordering the Ceasar – My wife and I had dinner for Valentine's Day last night and had the following experience. My wife asked for a Bellini and was promptly told that they had no frozen drinks or anything like a Bellini at their bar. So, she opted for a Manhattan instead, and she said it was pretty tasty. We decided to split the $10 Ceasar salad for an appetizer. My wife literally freaked out when she discovered a 2- inch long, brown, ugly, rubberlike anchovy hiding under one of the salad leaves. I removed ... read more
They've Peaked and Started to Slide – Yes, they have a great reputation. But that day may have passed. If you want to feel like your going to the in spot, go for it. But the crowd in the past few visits has turned to a bit of the "I need to impress" types. And the wait staff has taken on the airs to match. While the menu and food are still holding on, we are seeing signs of a tired chef. Yes, its a tough job but when your quality suffers-consider a break. I pulling for you but want to see something better than average.
Ausin's Finest ! – We love this place ! Chef Lazarus is an incredible culinarian Austin is thankful to have. Three Star Food, Service and Location. The Chef/Owner cares about ever aspect of his the food and service and it's obvious as soon as you walk in the door. Enjoy and WELCOME TO AUSTIN.
Best Pasta and seafood in town, very knowledgeable servers and great service, BEST in AUSTIN! – Let me tell you this place is not to be missed, huge tasty portions and great service. Try the nightly specials as they are amazing usually and the veal ravioli also rocks. You can sit and eat at the bar if you want as many do. I ate there two nights in a row a few months back if that tells you anything. A 10.
Truly Amazing Service, Even Better Food, and Wonderful Wine List! – My husband and I went to Vespaio last night for our anniversary, and it was absolutely everything we had hoped for. We started with the carpaccio, which was just right, flavors combining amazingly. The fresh bread was great, both kinds, combined with the hummus-like cannellini beans with parsley oil was unexpected, but suprisingly tasty. We shared a small Caesar salad. It is impossible to please my husband with a Caesar, there is never enough anchovy or Parm... read more
