The Best Lunch Places In Downtown Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"Gina’s is a pocket-sized neighborhood bistro you might expect to find on a quiet corner in a much older, larger city. The building feels like it holds some history in its bones, even if it's sporting pristine white tablecloths and shiny new coats of paint. The menu blends Italian and French flavors, with handmade pastas and larger entrees that are well worth a full meal. When we want something light but filling, we order the mussels. They come swimming in a pool of rich and creamy sauce, and they're topped with a mound of shoestring fries that are incredibly satisfying by the forkful." - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary
