try the pasta with chiken, wild mushrooms , truffle oil and cream sause.
Best brunch in Austin! $1 mimosas and the best French toast around. You can booze and eat for under $15 on Saturdays and Sundays.It gets pretty crowded and they do not take reservations .
Recommended by a local for a reason. All our dishes were perfectly executed. The gnocchi with short ribs ragu was the best imho.
Brunch is delicious and mimosas are only $2 a pop. The beignets are treat but be forewarned if you don't like a little lemon zest you won't enjoy them.
Swordfish is awesome. Caprese rissoto is excellent. Gnocchi . Everything is great. Fantastic service and great atmosphere
Great breakfast - cheap Bellini 's & Mimosa 's! The location is very convenient - the boutiques are right across the street if your up for some shopping afterwards.
Fiochi Di gorgonzola con pera y Nocci. Always the best. Along with the Valpolicella Wine .
This is my favorite restaurant in Austin. The service is wonderful and the specials are amazing. Had the lobster ravioli tonight and it was fantastic.
Rissotos are to die for! Service is spot on and great people watching with Moody Theater across the street! Thanks Kyle!
Packed on a Friday night, so make a reservation . Great food and service. Try the melon wrapped in prosciutto with a balsamic glaze .
Small Ceasar salad and sea bass + menu standards that consistently outstand. Add a glass of Sauvignon Blanc et voilá un diner incredible.
Pretty nice Italian restaurant . Liked the interior and the service was great. First time trying gnocchi and it was delicious. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
We had the scallop risotto and the gorgonzola & pear-filled pasta called fiocchi. AMAZING! Will be back soon. :-)
Fettucine Frutti di Mare was awesome ! One of d best pasta 's I've tasted.!
Great ambience, inside or out. Awesome brunch . 1$ Mimosas ! The eggs benedict with crab is delicious.
One of my favorite brunch spots on Sat or Sun! $2 mimosas and bellinis . Most foods less than $15.
I usually try the special. I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered here. Get the bread app, too!!!
Awesome brunch , the seating reminded me of italy. Scattered tables and no clear paths.
Tried the Belgian waffle and it was fantastic! It came topped with bananas , strawberries , raspberries , blueberries and whipped cream . YUM!
Get the Lamb or the Garganelli al Pomodoro e Basilico it's Garganelli Pasta tossed with Fresh Tomato & Basil or with Bolognese Sauce . It is absolutely amazing.
Orgasm in my mouth, try the scrumptious Nutella Crepes .
Try the Brisket Hash - Smoked brisket , onions , peppers , potatoes , 2 poached eggs , hollandaise . Warming up on a chilly fall day.
Great bar / lounge area and fantastic happy hour specials - including pizza !
My favorite happy hour for colder weather. Cheap , delicious pizza and good house wine .
Avoid the tiny round tables . Sit st a side table. Oil and bread ok, balsamic strong and cheap . Nice folks and decent menu for chain. Eat risotto .
Take your pick of the menu. I guarantee that your dish will be just a savory as the next item on the menu. Bon appétit!
I love Taverna & have been a loyal patron for 3 years. My big tip would be that they cook all their pasta al dente , but mention that you'd like it cooked longer & they'll make it to order.
order the Parmesan and truffle risotto and ask them to add wild mushrooms . you won't be sorry.
At dinner , if you have a large party, make sure they will split the bill before you order! But this food is DELICIOUS. Not a bad thing on the menu.
Update price $2 bunch mimosas and bellinis ❤️????????
Great brunch ! But be sure to get there early! Fills up fast!
If you can get a reservation , come here for Saturday/Sunday brunch . $1 Mimosas and bellini 's
Salmon was great & the amazing bread pizaa they bring was delicious.
My favorite brunch in the city . Saturday and Sunday $1 mimosas .
The brisket hash with a side of 1 dollar mimosa is to die for
Neighborhood favorite, great for your wining and dining needs! Bar and lounge are great during the week!!

Try the Lasagna Rustica. Done the right way with bechamel sauce .
benedict eggs with crabmeat ???? and of course $1 mimosas
Try their brisket pizza w/some champagne , bottles are pretty cheap imo
Brisket hash . Mimosas . Chefs fresh focaccia .
The pizza Salsiccia was very good.
Say yes to the beef hash , say yes.
GREAT brunch spot ! $1 mimosas and the best caprese salad I have ever eaten in my life.
Try their eggs Benedict with crab meat , it will not disappoint!
The Gnocchi with short ribs is excellent.
Keep your Bellini and mimosa glasses for quick refills!
Fair warning: the $1 mimosas and bellinis are of the you-get-what-you-pay for variety.
