Best Downtown Austin Restaurants and Bars | Eater Austin

"From the team that brought us a mini-empire of Mediterranean restaurants in Rosedale (Gusto and Gracia) comes a Franco-Italian bistro on Congress Avenue that’s more impressive than it needs to be.. Gina’s on Congress’s exposed stone walls and lively bar make it a great choice for date nights or happy hours with your favorite colleagues. Menu-wise, Gina’s offers homemade pastas, escargot, steak tartare, and our dark-horse pick for Austin’s best Caesar salad. Negroni fans will enjoy four different variations, while wine enthusiasts can treat themselves to varieties from France and Italy." - Taylor Tobin
