Visiting Austin for the first time, I was centered in suburbia with nieces and nephew. In a break-away move, my sister and I decided to head to Austin. La Traviata tables were booked, but we decided took our chances anyway. The food was solidly good and Molly, the evening's chef, was delightful. (One of the advantages of sitting at the... More

One of the best Italian restaurants in Austin. The menu is well thought out. All food is prepared when ordered. Give it a try. More

Yummo! I cannot say enough. Make reservations early! Do not skip the mussels...they are a party in your mouth. More

What a pleasant surprise! Great bistro feal. Great menu with portion sizes that you can enjoy. We got in before it was booked up, but this place filled up quickly. Would recommend this place, and we will be back! More

I ordered the special which was the spinach ravioli in marinara sauce. It was EXCELLENT....mild sauce and tender pasta. My husband had (in his words) the best salmon he has... More

This was my second time at La Traviata. We decided to go back because it was so wonderful the first time. We called ahead to make reservations because they were recommended last time. Since it was a weekday it was not very busy. The place is not very big, one side is the bar and on the other, exposed stone... More
