Asti Trattoria

We came here for dinner and had an excellent experience. Cally the hostess greeted us and was incredibly friendly and hospitable. The food was very tasty- I had the carbonara and my fiance had the lamb. Our waiter Justin suggested excellent wine pairings. We ended the night with the affogato dessert, suggested by our waiter and we were not disappointed!

A hidden gem!!! The only real Carbonara and Amatriciana in Austin… maybe in all of Texas!! all ingredients are the real deal. The pasta, made here. Real Guanciale!!!! Not bacon! I am telling you. It’s the real deal like in Rome! The service is excellent!! Super personal experience… the place is super cool, like an old diner. The chef… super cool guy. I don’t get excited about restaurants in Austin… I am about this place.

In town for business and decided to try Asti Trattoria for dinner on a week day. I made the reservation for 7 PM. When we arrived, we were greeted and seated immediately. The place seemed to have a musky smell. It seemed the air was not working to its full capacity. Next to the funky smell, everything else was very good. Our waiter was very attentive to all our needs and requests. Now the best part...the food. On point all around. Calamari was fried perfectly. The linguine with clam was prepared el dente. I had the seafood risotto. Risotto , clams, and the squid were cooked very well, but the shrimp was slightly overcooked. Overall, it was a very good Italian meal.

We’ve been eating here for years! Honestly when the original owner sold the restaurant I wondered if things might change. Gladly, everything is just as wonderful! Jennifer was our server recently, and her professionalism, wit and charm added so much to our evening. The atmosphere is always so welcoming, but great service and ambiance can only go so far if the meal is average. Alas, our meal was outstanding. We started with the mussels, then we both ordered seafood entrees. Everything was stellar! Jennifer offered two samples of white wine to pair with our meal, which was a lovely gesture, as well as the complimentary biscotti after our meal. We had no room for dessert. Asti is an Austin institution. I’ve lived here since 1981. Cheers to many, many more years of success! 🙏🏽

Friendly and prompt service. Food is priced on the higher end but it is worth it. The carbonara was perfect. I haven’t had been looking for good carbonara and was happy I found a place.The house made noodles was perfect. Overall great atmosphere and great food. The focaccia was airy and fresh. Everything we had was really good.

Asti Trattoria, I've been here before and it's a solid neighborhood spot. They've been here for a minute and it's worth a try. Tonight was a special night which I'll talk about a little bit more later after we talk about the food. 1st our servers name was Mitch, he was fantastic. He was all over the place, had many tables but he'd kept good tabs on us, and took care of us make. He made great recommendations, we really enjoyed his company. We started with the fired artichokes and they are very lightly fried and were good, the lemon aoli it came with was amazing. Our salad was decent, but the entrees overall were a hit and a miss. My Love and I ordered the special, which was this giant meatball served over polenta and red sauce,pomodoro. The meatball honestly was not good, I'm a little bit of a meatball fanatic and I love good meatballs and this one honestly was chewy and not well executed but the polenta was fantastic. J had the lasagna and it was good, not great and B ordered the lamb Ragu, she loved how much lamb was on the pasta both were good no complaints. This was a special night, as it was the 1st time I got to meet my love's mom, B. It was fun we got to talk and tell funny stories it was really great to part of this moment. Thank you my love, for inviting me into your world. You are my sun and I your moon!🖤🖤🖤
