The 13 Best Italian Restaurants In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"Juniper in East Austin may have a sleek, modern interior, but a meal here—made up of a series of tiny plates inspired by Northern Italy—feels surprisingly homey. And as much as we love the tasting-menu experience, the a la carte menu really lets you double down on Juniper’s carb-based strengths. Start with a salad so it counts as a balanced meal, then fill your table with as many small plates of bucatini, paccheri, campanelle, and whatever other pastas might be available on any given day." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
