68 Degrees Kitchen

What a great little Italian place on the west-side. I recently ate here for a birthday for the first time and sat at the bar (it is a high top community table and less of a bar). The bread was delicious right out the gate and these guys have a great wine selection with a great understanding of what they are serving. 10/10 for the staff's exquisite wine knowledge.Every comes out made to order and is fresh. I ordered the chicken parm - full order which is huge! I will get the half in the future but take-home is guaranteed for those not ready to eat a huge portion in one sitting. The chicken parm was lightly breaded however the flavor was perhaps off that day as it seemed a little lacking - better to less flavor than a bad flavor so I didn't mind and enjoyed it as so many other elements made up for it.The staff was very quick to navigate the room and there was outdoor seating however given the temps I didn't want to sit under a heat lamp but many appeared comfortable from my view. I suspect the spring/fall caters well to the outdoor vibe.Parking is reasonable and you will need a reservation if you expect to be accommodated as this place has been booked when we tried coming as a walk up before.I will be back perhaps in the summer to try the outdoor seating and to give the chicken parm another try.

A friend has taken me here twice for birthdays and the food is wonderful and the service is perfect - present when needed and when asked for something not normally served. This week we were celebrating my birthday again. After arriving my friend asked if they could give me a birthday candle to blow out and some ice cream (which also had several cool shaped cookies!). Even when one is ancient it's still fun to blow out a candle! I liked that my friend knew the person who took care of us too.

Made a reservation for 3 for a Tuesday evening and was seated right away. We ordered the fried mac and cheese balls to start which were pretty good. The rigatoni was pretty good as well, no real complaints. The restaurant is kind of small overall and seating is kind of close together inside, so it has a very intimate feel. Our server Matt was amazing! Super kind and attentive and joked around with us; honestly the service stood out more than the food but the food was overall solid.

Great place for date night!We had a great time. The service here was excellent. Our server provided great recommendations for wine and entrees. The specials offered were all tempting. There are a number of good entree's to choose from. The wine list is nice as well. We loved the Chianti. The only down side would be the size. There are only a few tables so it can fill up. Can't wait for a Return visit

Went to 68 Degrees for the first time with friends and we had a great time. Wonderful atmosphere, friendly helpful staff and OMG the food was amazing! Definitely going to be returning soon.

Eight of us had dinner here on a Sunday evening and really enjoyed it. The food was good. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice. Three of us had the trout, which was very good. Others had Bolognese, a linguine dish and shrimp pasta. My friend who had the special Pasta of the night raved about it . The Caesar salad was good, and the special salad of the night looked amazing. it took a while for us to finally get our checks but all in all everyone enjoyed it

Great ambiance and service. Both meals were overcooked and the trout was super fishy and not fresh. The vegetables were super overcooked and mushy. The manager took the trout dish out of our bill. I would recommend getting drinks and enjoying the ambiance.

Best Italian in Texas. Hands down. Everything is balanced and made fresh. Unreal experience.

We got reservations for the outdoor patio, and brought our dog. They were quick about seating us and the outdoor space is nice and shaded, still comfortable on a hot day!We got two pasta dishes:- Bolognese: definitely recommend!! It was surprisingly more flavorful than many others I've had in the past.Chicken parmesan: ok not a "pasta" dish, but it comes with pasta. This was good but i felt like the chicken portions were a bit smaller than I'm used to.Overall a good experience. Not a lot of Italian places in Austin so grateful to have this one nearby!

The staff here is exceptional. And the food is really fresh and tasty. We get the fish and salads every time. So so delicious. Very Happy they are in the neighborhood
