"Palermo Pasta House serves fresh, handmade pasta and thin-crust pizzas with lots of flavor and no pretension. The white stone building located in the middle of Round Rock's downtown strip is always buzzing with tourists and repeat customers downing reasonably priced plates of bucatini, taglierini, and fettuccine. Pick your pasta type and select from a variety of red and cream sauces, or go for a hearty baked dish—the lasagna is fantastic—paired with something off their impressive wine list. The best seats are near the second-story window where you can watch bar-hoppers mill about on the streets below before you join them. photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL" - Clara Wang
