It all started 40 years ago at a little restaurant in Huntsville, Texas. My Mamma Grace, came & brought her recipes to help us get started. The same we still use today. Over the last 40 years I have met entertainers, politicians, movie stars, & sports figures...

Delicious dirty pig sandwich !! Prosciutto , applewood ham , roasted tomatoes , homemade mozzarella and basil on Pugliese. Served cold or hot from the panini press
Their best item is a secret item that isn't on the menu. Ask for the "Diavola" pizza . Spicy salami , marinara , Romano , mozzarella , hot cherry peppers , red pepper flakes , caramelized onions & herbs.
Garlic fries were delicious! The pizza is very good... The parma is my favorite. Also, if you have room, get the Gelato after your meal!
The menu has something for everyone, the bread for starters can't be beat, and it's nearly impossible to leave enough room for gelato . Mandolas is a go-to for me, highly recommend!
A very accommodating staff who truly want to give a great experience. The gelato was amazing and the meal was authentic Italian . They serve their pasta al dente , and have a warm atmosphere.
They do what they do well -- I love their take on arugula-Parmesan-Proscuitto pizza , and I'm especially fond of the market offerings, including imported canned goods and artisan dried pastas .
Being a cook myself, I would highly recommend the Margarita pizza . Fresh herbs and the cheese is simply wonderful. Perfect place for a date or friendly for a family dinner !
Mandola's is truly a must-try in Austin! This Italian market has a great menu as well as great customer service. The Lasagne dish is absolutely delicious, you have to try it!
Don't miss out on the gelato . It's a tasty, moderately-priced alternative to ice cream or snow cones on a hot Texas day! Raspberry and dark chocolate are a magical combination.
The best casual Italian place near UT's campus. Prices are high for the taste/food, but it is worth it if you're really craving Italian.
I. love. this. place. The fresh lemonade is so good! And their spaghetti and meatballs is to die for. But I'm a traditionalist.
Great place to eat with family! Do yourself a favor and take some home!!
Pretty good sandwiches , pasta , and pizza . You can also shop in their mini Italian market , and pick up charcuterie .
Get the pomegranate San Pellegrino it's so good and hard to find elsewhere.
I tried the spaghetti with sausage lunch special . It was just the right portion. Great salad too.
The spaghetti and meatballs is great! Portion sizes are also good, and the restaurant gives off a nice vibe.
Try: the antipasti platter, the antipasti salad , the Sicilian tomato salad , spaghetti carbonera, and the lasagna ! I miss the arancinis !!
Be sure to get a gelato on your way out. There's a lot of flavors to choose from.
Generous portions , quality ingredients, and nice atmosphere. I'll be back
Focaccia . That's all you need to know. Their focaccia : it completes me. It heals what is broken. ❤️
Their marinara sauce is amazing!! The staff is wonderful and I would definitely go back!
Stand in front of the dessert bar and drool. Or sample different gelato flavors!
Bread , gnocchi , whole menu rocks! And great Italian cream cake too!
Order meatballs & side of spagetti. Cheaper than the meal & smaller portion of pasta but same of meatballs . Meatballs to die for. My last meal if I had to choose.
This place is cool enough to feel authentic but Austin enough to speak English when ordering. Just prepare to stand in line for about 10 minutes on the weekends.
The men's room has baby changing supplies - diapers wipes and powder. Nice!
It was awesome Gluten-Free pasta was amazing, I'm definitely coming back
Have to go back another time to taste the incredible looking desserts-No room left after our meal.
The food is very delicious and the service is always efficient!
Alright, it's not New York Italian, but it will work. The foccacia is delicious.
Good Italian food , not as fancy as Vespaio. Can get very crowded . I like their little Italian food shop and deli counter, and the gelattos are good too.
Didn't eat in the restaurant but the market is over priced and they don't have what they say they have.Ravoli isnt marked cheese or meat.Sausage isn't marked spicey or sweet.Small box of ravioli $12.
Love the margherita pizza and the garlic fries !
My favorite casual Italian place in Austin. Everything on the menu is gooood
Favorite casual Italian diner in town !
The Diavola Pizza is amazing! Great mix of sweet and spicy .
Be sure to get some herb oil for your bread , it's self-serve and delicious!
The gnocchi with Alfredo sauce is to die for- as is their Nutella gelato !
Amazing bolognese sauce ! The gelato , cookies and cake are yummy too!
Gluten free pasta ! Just ask for it on any pasta you order.
Great frozen sangrias , only $2 during happy hour .
Don't forget to check the board for specials. You'll kick yourself when you're leaving.
Go for dessert ! Gelato is amazing - try the stracciatella (chocolate chip !)
The salted caramel gelato is fantastic!
The Parma pizza is the best!
Great food, great atmosphere, great wine .
Espresso cookies are my fav
Go during Happy Hour (3-6 p.m.) and get the Margherita pizza for $5!
They have a child-sized table in the SE corner.
We got calamari, the prosciutto, fig and goat cheese pizza and nutella cake. It was all amazing! As a chef I was totally impressed! - ????????♂️ ????????
