Vespaio is our favorite restaurant in Austin. We live 24 miles out of town but visit Vespaio on a regular basis. We have our favorite dishes on the regular menu, but the specials are always different and always very very delicious. Go early as it gets busy always and if you can't get in go next door to the Inoteca.... More

This is such a great restaurant. We usually just eat dessert here, but the sister restaurant didn't open until later so we sat on patio and had full meal. Appetizers, dinner, wine, dessert, all excellent! Waitstaff knowledgeable and eager to help. Waitress went above and beyond when asked about food specifics. Manager was checking weather to see if we could... More

This is the best Italian restaurant in Austin. A bit pricey, but well worth a visit. Great dishes, fantastic wine list.

A little pricey, but the food was delicious, service was excellent. Make reservations, seating is limited and it fills up quickly. The locals know the good spots.

We loved our dinner at Enoteca Vespaio so much that we went back there for another dinner and lunch. The food is simply amazing and the staff are wonderful. You will be pleasantly surprised at how good the Italian food in Austin, Texas could be. Plus, the South Congress neighborhood is funky nice, great little shops, jewelry stores and food... More

Always look forward to visiting Austin so we can eat at Vespaio! Service is beyond exceptional and the food is always of highest quality! Fried oysters melted in your mouth, scallops seared perfectly, toscana pizza with puddles of creamy goodness and the risotto is always spot on! Reasonably priced wine and the best bar tender round out a perfect experience... More

This is my #1 restaurant in Austin, always superior food, creative, perfectly prepared, knowledgeable wait staff, good ambiance, innovative bar tenders, but, it is all about the food, the wonderful food.

We were able to make a reservation (not the norm for SoCo), arrived on time and were seated immediately. The service was very attentive. There were a number of different items on the menu - I had the rabbit roulade and my husband had quail. Both were excellent and not something we would normally expect to find on the menu.... More

Sit at the bar. Try the pasta special which changes daily. Save room for a cookie to take with you. I had Wagyu beef polpetine, potato gnocchi, shitake mushrooms, fava beans, arribbiata & san andreas cheese.
