The 12 Best Tasting Menus In Austin
"L’Oca d’Ora almost sounds like a fictional place. It’s an impossibly cute little Mueller cafe with floor-to-ceiling windows tucked between a pedestrian-only shopping center and a picturesque lakeside park. Where you sit makes a big difference since the tasting menu isn't offered by the bar or on the patio. The spread starts with bread served with fresh mozzarella, plus a few dips and cured meats. After that, there’s a pasta course, a meat course, and dessert—each with two options, making this ideal for couples who want to share more plates. It has its high points, but there are also a few dishes that feel like they’ve been prepared in advance to be served over and over through the night. Wine pairing: N/A, but there’s a long list of (mostly Italian) bottles and by-the-glass options" - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
