"An Austin staple, Vespaio Ristorante has been around since 1998. People have been coming to this Italian spot for a long time, for everything from anniversaries and birthdays to work dinners. It’s especially nice when your boss is paying. The menu changes pretty frequently, but you’ll find a few pizzas and large format dishes like lasagna bolognese, cioppino, and a risotto of the day. The dining room is romantic and dimly lit, but our favorite spot remains the cozy bar, where we’ll happily order a few of the fresh pastas that come in half sizes. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
