Description: Botticelli’s South Congress is a fun and tasty Italian restaurant located in the heart of the exciting "SOCO" district. Botticelli's serves fresh and delicious Italian food combining old family recipes with new, inventive ones. Andrew and Matt Botticelli are the proud owners and are made even more proud by the food that Botticelli's delivers through its amazing staff. There are both an intimate dining room up front and a large beautiful beer garden out back, where there is live music Thursday through Saturday night. Full menu is available inside or out and at either bar. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Adjacent to the Continental Club, Botticelli's has a great hidden courtyard at the rear of the property. Great landscaping, lighting and overall ambience. Good place to relax while doing either shopping in the area or after dinner. Staff is friendly. More

Unfussy, casual, outdoor garden was pefect for wedding rehearsal dinner. Food and service were excellent. They allowed us to stay 45 minutes past our allotted time without complaint. Once again, the service was impeccable. Would definitely return for dinner. More

The food is excellent and the service was pretty good considering that the restaurant was packed. However the restaurant is so small and the tables are so crowded together that I was uncomfortable. I was an unwilling participant in the conversation at the adjoining table. The booths offer more privacy, but were not suitable for one of our party who... More

You have to try the pasta with venison. The whole table thought this was an amazing dish. More

The rehearsal dinner for my nephew's wedding was held under cover in the beer garden. It was beautiful sitting outside (weather was great). There was live music which was enjoyable but as it's a small area, made it difficult to hold a conversation. The food, wine, and wait staff were excellent. My mother-in-law left her purse and didn't realize it... More

I wasn't excited about going to an Italian restaurant. We ended up there by accident, because the place we were going to wanted a $15 cover charge, so we ended up at Botticelli's. The decor wasn't fancy as we had to put a wedge under our table leg to keep it from wobbling. After studying the menu (I was hoping... More

We went to this place on a Friday night for Happy Hour, we ordered the shrimp and polenta, which was good. I ordered the mussels and italian sausage really good. We've visited Italy and have tasted real Italian food and this place is close. The service needs improvement. We sat at the bar and the bartender, was not very attentive... More

My wife and I shared a salad: "Roasted Beet Goat Cheese Napoleon" and a "Mushroom Pansotti". Both dishes were very good indeed. Portions were adequate. We shared a chocolate mousse with ganache. That was very good too. Two small complaints: Extra charge ($2 per dish) for sharing. The restaurant's tables were a bit close. We drank a Pinot Noir, which... More

The Service was excellent!!! Always prompt and attentive. Our experience was tarnished by a group that was not even sitting down at a table. They were standing around their big table like it was bar. Yet, the Service didn't stop it. My appetizer was good, that Botticelli Bread! But out comes my venison, which was drowned in all sorts of... More

We had dinner here during our visit to Austin on NYE weekend. We ate in the dining room with booths and an attractive bar. The drinks were great. The service was terrific – professional, accommodating, and very personable. The chef graciously accommodated my request to avoid a particular seasoning. Even without seasoning, my meal was delicious. The Chilean sea bass... More
