Andiamo Ristorante

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the waiters speaking Italian to each other, and I knew that I had come to the right place today. It was really delicious and authentic.The restaurant changes its menu according to the season. We came at an unfortunate time and missed the signature squid ink pasta, but we ordered two special pastas and they were equally delicious. We ordered a pork chop for fear that it would not be enough, which was also very tender and juicy.The free bread really needs to be praised separately. It has a special taste. The three of us clicked on three boxes. It was delicious with or without olive oil, and even had a bit of the taste of scallion rolls.A small gathering with friends. The environment and atmosphere of the restaurant are not so gorgeous. It feels like a family restaurant.The following are the dishes we ordered this time:LINGUINE LUCI JOHNSON |Seafood pasta, fresh ingredients, relatively light taste, and a faint wine taste, as if white wine was added to the sauce, which is quite delicious.FETTUCCINE DI SPINACI |Pasta with meat sauce, the noodles are green, it should be spinach juice according to the menu. This taste is stronger, it tastes very delicious, the noodles taste good, but I can't taste the spinach flavor, I don't know if it's good or bad hahaha.BRACIOLA DI MAIALE AI FUNGHI |Grilled pork chop, it's very fragrant and not greasy.For dessert, I ordered a tiramisu, which was just average. By the way, I ordered a fried squid ring for the appetizer, which was also very fragrant.

The staff was fantastic! Their energy was amazing and they were so wonderful about the fact that we were having a board meeting. They also treated us to some wonderful desserts and made sure to celebrate a bday that we were also having in our group.The lighting was nice and relaxing. I would just add a little note that there were some areas that appeared to be kind of dusty in corners but really that didn't take away from the amazing service and food.

COME HERE!!!! The absolute best dining experience in Austin!!! Delicious food, amazing customer service and relaxing atmosphere. I cannot recommend this place enough!!! My mom and I came for an early dinner and there was only 1 other family there. I was shocked after tasting the food. Our server was soo nice and attentive which made our time amazing. The food is to die for! The bread was mouth watering. The salad was fresh and crispy. My sausage pasta was the best pasta dish I've ever had (I ate all of it and I usually never finish my plate). The restaurant itself is nothing special but the artwork is nice and quiet!! They also accept reservations. We had the best experience here and I can't wait to come back and try the other location.

This is a great place to take a date and has great Italian food. It is located in a strip center, but that can fool you.

This place is totally a hidden gem! Don't judge it by the strip mall it's in, because the food's actually really good. I had the ravioli de pollo. The portion wasn't huge, but it was enough to fill me up and it tasted amazing - just the right mix of sweet and savory.I also gave the mussels a try. Usually, I'm not a fan because they tend to taste fishy, but these were spot on. Seriously, they nailed it. I dropped by on a Tuesday evening, and it was pretty chill, not too crowded. The vibe inside is super relaxed, just some light music in the background.If you're rolling in with a bunch of people, they've got a room in the back that can handle bigger groups. I'd definitely come back here.

I had advanced notice of coming here for a company dinner on a Wednesday evening which allowed me to look through many dozens of post-Covid reviews. Some key take away points from most reviewers was the lack of ambience, high prices, and the occasional hit and miss quality of the food and service. Most people raved about the bread they start you out with, but not everyone. We all thought the bread was fairly good, but it was never replenished. Yes the main dining room lacks a little ambience, but they did try to make some effort to fake it. In all the 14 years of the reviews, there was not a single business owner response to any review, which I thought was odd. Apparently they are not interested in any social media feedback.Our group of 20 souls were directed to the back of the restaurant and into a room that looks like it was a large closet used for storage with no windows and zero ambience. Definitely NOT a room you want to rent for a bridal shower/dinner or any special occasion for that matter. They prepared a menu for our group so we never got their full menu. We started with the breaded fried provolone with marinara which was good, but I was not a fan of their minced salad. The main course was a shrimp linguine dish served in a medium sized bowl. It was good and fairly savory and was the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately the ricotta cheesecake for dessert had a burned crust and a burned outer crust that left a funky burnt taste in your mouth. At least the service was attentive. There was no wine served at our event and I did not see the bill so I can't comment on either of those. When leaving I spotted just 2 couples in the dining room at 7:30pm. Overall experience was an acceptable 3 stars, but not a place I'd return to.

We went to Andiamo last weekend to celebrate a birthday, and we must have been there on an off night unfortunately. Usually the food is very good, but this time not so much... The saffron ravioli with cream sauce was covered in cream gravy like you'd get on biscuits, thick and gloppy. The carbonara's guanciale was burned and chewy. The pork chop with marsala sauce tasted like they cook forgot the marsala. And the steak with brandy sauce had a very strange tasting, watered down liquid. Both the pork chop and steak came with mushrooms we swore were from a can. Hopefully we just visited on an off night, but it was not the birthday dinner we were looking forward to sadly.

Great restaurant, the food was a bit spicy for Italian food. But besides that service and quality was great. If we come back we will order everything but not the seafood plates.

Food: on point, service/atmosphere: lacking, overall it felt overpriced for what we got. I don't regret coming but probably won't be back. The good: the food! We ordered:-the free bread! This was definitely up to expectations: warm, swirled with pesto and cheese; it was a struggle to not eat all the bread before the rest of the food arrived.-the fennel salad: I didn't know what to expect but it was fun and different and tasty- slices of fennel stalk with walnuts, goat cheese, and a light zingy dressing. Would eat again.-the stuffed eggplant: pretty tasty and I really enjoyed the red sauce; I'm not the biggest eggplant fan but this was sliced very thinly and was not overwhelming.-the spring quail special: so fun and extremely tasty, the quail was boneless except for the drumsticks so it was easy to eat, felt very fancy, and the fig stuffing was just delicious. I don't think I would pay $42 again for it though- no sides or anything just 4 quail halves. -the orzo with cannellini beans: I thought this was pretty bland, I couldn't taste the brown butter sauce at all, but my husband liked it and said it was nice and light. -the chicken stuffed ravioli- very rich, I loved the lemon cream sauce, but compared to my husbands pasta dish it felt like a small portion. I get there is more work going into ravioli than the orzo dish but I was a little jealous of his portion lol.The mediocre: the ambiance- I saw several other reviews saying that the interior was super cute and had a nice vibe- I thought it was ok but when you are spending $160 on a dinner for two it did not give me the fine dining feel. The plastic looking 'fancy' ceiling tiles, the simple decor, the management meeting between the head chef and someone that was literally at the table behind us? Not fine dining. And then our server was... interesting. He was polite but he answered questions unhelpfully ("how many quail in the dish? I think its 2 or 3", "you can order them to come out at the same time, or at different times, whatever you want" we are looking for advice I know I can order them whenever I want...) and wasn't the most attentive, kept turning to walk away after we ordered one item when we were about to continue to order a second item. He brought out the wrong food to our table (turned out it was for the people at the managers meeting behind us lol). Just not fantastic service- especially for the price!

Food: The food looked good, but it wasn't the best i've tasted. They do give free tableside bread, so that is nice. The bread itself was not my favorite though. I didn't really like it. I do have to say that the pastas do feel homemade from scratch, so the texture is nice. As for the flavors, it did not impress me. I ordered the linguine Luci Johnson, fettucine di spinach, and a dessertService: great service. my server was nice and attentive!ambiance: great ambiance! it was cozy and had great date night vibes
