Pizza

1. 360 Uno Expresso…

pages, classy; not laminated and spiral-bound sheets you see at most places). And yet the prices were not too expensive! Small (personal-sized) pizzas range from $7-11 each (if I recall correctly), full...

2. Frank & Angie's

Neighborhood: Downtown

Ok place, good service- but just mediocre pizza. It gets an extra star for the outside seating and the service.   Hippie style pizza joint with all that fancy shit you shouldn't put on pizza. I like...

3. Cipollina

Neighborhood: Clarksville

I am growing weary of Cipollina.   On a recent visit, the calamari was rubbery and too salty. We sent it back. Then the pizza came and the crust was burnt about 50% of the way around. And the chicken...

4. Flying Tomato

After having lived a stone's throw away from this place for many years, I finally got around to trying it.  I'm so glad I did!  I got a pesto pizza (my favorite!) with mozzarella, goat cheese...

5. Brick Oven…

Neighborhood: Great Hills

and it isn't too toasty - The margarita pizza is okay- they really skimped on the toppings.    I probably won't go back....

Pasta

1. Enoteca Vespaio

Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

stars! While the paninis, pastas, and good lord, the fries, will definitely satisfy, my real love for this place comes with candied pistachios and honey: CHEESE. They make a mean cheese plate, pair one...

2. Primizie Osteria…

Neighborhood: East Austin

It was a great starter, even for my not-so-adventurous guy.  For our dinners I had the spaghetti (it has a fancier name that I forget), sans anchovies and he had some pasta with sausage... sorry I forget...

3. Andiamo Ristorante

and with a slight tummy ache. They served a cold mushroom sauce thing on stale bread to start and then chicken cacciatore with no pasta?!? I asked if the pasta was coming out later and they said...

4. Romano's Macaroni…

Neighborhood: Great Hills

I was pleasantly surprised.  I had the Penne Pasta with Roasted Chicken.  It was tasty.  Our wait staff totally disappeared for about 10 minutes (smoke break maybe?).  It is NOT the place...

5. Onion Creek Grille

Neighborhood: Southeast Austin

been ok...not amazing, but just fine. The first time I went, I had a veggie pasta that was too salty but otherwise good. They used to have a really yummy mozzarella and tomato appetizer that I wanted...
