Patrizi's

I was so disappointed when this location didn't become a Mexican food restaurant. Then I found out it was going to be Italian, which is very low on my list of likes. Patrizi's has made me love their food. It's so ridiculously good.The house made pasta is off the chart. I've had plenty of pasta and surely some of it had to be house made. None of it was even close to how good Patrizi's pasta is. You know what's as good as the pasta? Their focaccia. You need a quiet secret place to eat it mercilessly without others judging you. It demands no less. But wait - there's more - they pretty much use the focaccia to make their pizza. Holy smokes. There are a few salad choices and somehow they make those sparkle too. The house made giardiniera is delicious. While the meatball is what everyone raves about (it's worth it), we like the chicken arrosto. Add that to any pasta order and it perfects it.The location is a little challenging to park at. It's extremely popular so parking gets full most evenings. The building and grounds are pleasant and there's a lot of room indoors and out. Live music and trivia on designated nights. The bar is well stocked and I love their negroni. Take out has been easy especially now that the online portal is running.The only thing that could make this place better is if they applied themselves to some enchiladas. Meantime, what they do is spectacular. Take my money and feed me focaccia!

We waited on a longggg line, so we knew it had to be good. There's lots of outdoor seating. You place your order and grab a seat with a number.We opted for the pomodoro, carbonara, and patrizi's salad. The 2 pasta dishes were not quite as creamy as I like, but they were as fresh as can be. The salad was simple but tasted great.

I've been hearing a lot of good things about Patrizi's and when they opened their second location, I had to see what the hype was about. I ordered a few different dishes, however the overall experience did fall flat for me.The carbonara was underwhelming. The bacon bits weren't crispy, but they were plentiful. The egg yolk added that signature creaminess, but outside of the saltiness of the bacon, there wasn't much flavor.The leopold lacked depth of flavor and texture. It felt very one-sided and could've used some toasted pine nuts for a crunch in my opinion. The pasta was almost cooked al dente, but still had some tough, uncooked spots where it could've used a few more minutes of boiling.The lemon thyme immediately punches you in the face with a strong tart flavor that then mellows out with the parmesan. Arguably the best out of the 3 pastas, but also had the most, albeit strong, flavor.The bruschetta was a good bite. The dish came with 2 generous pieces of crispy bread and the tomato and arugula topping added a beautiful freshness.We came on a pretty busy Friday night, but the food came out quickly. You order from the counter and they deliver the food to your table. There's plenty of seating and a separate bar you can order drinks from. I got the espresso martini for about $10 and it was refreshing. Service was attentive as they checked on us multiple times. Bonus points for having tons of parking.

Everything we ordered here was absolutely delicious, and we didn't even try the pasta they're known for! The menu has changed since my last visit--they no longer offer the focaccias. We had the margherita pizza, which was packed with flavor, and couldn't resist trying the Marfa tomatoes, which were also fantastic. I would suggest ordering a different pizza flavor if you get the Marfa tomatoes since both dishes have similar ingredients, but either way, it's all still delicious.The mocktails are incredible--so fresh, clean, and not processed at all. Honestly, I'd come back just for those! But let's be real--I'd come back for the food and dessert too. We had the carrot cake and the pepita soft serve for dessert, and both tasted so fresh. The olive oil and pepita in the soft serve were indescribable and a MUST!The service was exceptional. We ended up chatting with almost every staff member, and the whole experience reminded me of the small-town charm Austin had over a decade ago. I will definitely be back! This place is a hidden gem!

Our first time at Patrizzis, and we will definitely return. Let's start with the main show, the pasta! Cooked perfectly al dente. This place uses few ingredients in their dishes and they are high quality, proving you don't need truffle oil, a pound of cheese, or heavy cream to make a dish spectacularly tasty.We ordered diavolo (it's legit insanely spicey), carbonara, and a pasta with red sauce. All very, very good. Aside from the spiciness, the diavolo has a lemony flavor that is so good and would likely pair well with chicken. The red sauce was very good, and the carbonara was not suffering for pork. We also had their side salad and it was terrific. Lots of variety in the mix that was flavorful.The ambience is casual, and thank God for that because we just came from spending two hours in the lake! ;)It's not inexpensive. Our three dishes and the salads were $77. That was pre-tip and drinks.Overall, we'd still return despite the prices. After all, this is lake country, so it's going to be bougie. My husband insists I add this is not a brotalian pasta joint. If that is humorous to you, you're welcome.

Such yummy Italian food! I got the Lemon Thyme and it was delicious! Exactly what I expected. They use the same pasta for all the dishes so you don't have to factor in different pasta shapes. I could tell that the pasta was homemade. The garlic bread was incredible. I have no idea what the secret is but the flavor was so rich. It comes with 2 large pieces so great for sharing. There's a separate bar in the restaurant with a whole separate drink menu, so if you order food first they will start a tab for you. Another cool thing is that you can order a half portion of the pasta instead of the full, if you're not too hungry. For a normal portion, go with the full. I enjoyed the vibe inside - it matched well with the food. There are a good amount of indoor tables, including half booths, and outdoor ones. There only seemed to be a few spots for parking in the front of the restaurant but I may have missed seeing the rest of the parking - I would think there has to be a lot more parking considering the amount of tables inside.

I've heard so much high praise about Patrizis and I couldn't wait to try it. And I'm glad to say it lived up to the hype! The pasta is deliciously al dente and the perfect texture. And the sauces and toppings all feel pretty fresh. As for the flavors, I definitely had some favorites. I think the pomodoro is my personal favorite, and that's coming from someone who usually leans away from ordering red sauce. The carbonara is decent, but nothing too unique flavorwise. However, their carbonara has huge chunks of meat which I'm never gonna complain about. The lemon thyme was really good but sooo lemony. I was a fan but it was a bit too much for my friend so beware before you order. The Leopold was just alright for me. I had expected a creamier sauce and it was a little too peppery for me. But still good, I finished it all!And I really love that you can order by half sizes and the prices are still consistent, that way you can try two flavors for actually the price of one instead of the prices being jacked so that it's not worth it.

The brick-and-mortar emporium for Austin's heritage Italian cuisine is absolutely worth the drive, and an extra work-out. I've been grazing around town (and The Vortex is a scene worth enjoying, local bands galore, proper people-watching), but out here in the Hills is where it's at - a little Texas sprawl, a lot of Italian goodness. Someone is always at the door, welcoming like family, happy to help guide choices on their varied but straightforward menu. After a few visits, I can confidently say their Cacio e Pepe is my favorite. Freshly handmade fettuccine pasta with in an elegant balance of grana and cracked black pepper - it's like grown-up Mac 'n cheese, just as comforting, far more delightful. Because I'm halfway to Rome, of course we're having double-carbs, and the Garlic Bread with more grana and garlic confit is addictive. Crispy edges, pillowy center, deliciously savory bites of garlicky butter are the ultimate indulgence while spreading out with friends or family (indoors, generous AC and seating for groups, outdoors, a large patio and local music venue). This visit we tried the Risotto al Pomodoro - an incredibly fresh display of perfectly roasted chicken, basil, and house-made cheese atop crisped risotto and a rich tomato sauce. It was creamy, savory, warm, with just the right amount of tart acidity to finish clean, begging for more bites. Patrizi's Salad is the pick (the creamy Italian dressing is an archetype) when going for greens - balance, after all!While waiting, their bar is fully stocked, including some proper Texas Lemonade for the whole family. And that's what they're all about - the Patrizi's serving yours, whether it's a friend family or those we're born with!

Been wanting to come here for a while and today was the day! Great ambiance, service was friendly, food was on point. I LOVE Italian food and appreciated their twist on classic dishes such as Cacio E Pepe and Carbonara. We also ordered the garlic bread and it was so fresh with ample amount of freshly grated cheese. We each ordered a half version of our pasta dishes, and it was more than enough. We had plenty to take home!

What a restaurant!!! The food was amazing and the prices extremely reasonable. Make sure you find Joey who is truly a great human. He could not be more service oriented and could not have tried to take better care of us despite how busy the restaurant was. I was running the Austin marathon the next morning and even with the wait time for food being a little extended he got me food within 5 min. Wow!!!Do not leave Austin without eating here. You will be glad you did !!
