Best Restaurants for Takeout or Delivery in Austin | Eater Austin

"Whether ordering from the Linc or the South First trailer, this casual pasta shop delivers serious flavor in tidy takeout boxes. Tagliatelle bolognese comes rich and meaty, while the carbonara stays silky. Gnocchi with tomato sauce and a square of tiramisu never hurt, either. Both locations offer easy pickup over the phone." - Darcie Duttweiler

The 13 Best Italian Restaurants In Austin 2024

"Think of a pasta spot, and you're probably not imagining a trailer in a food truck park. But that’s Artipasta—and they’re serving some of the most well-executed fresh pasta in town. Everything is house-made, and the level of attention to detail is rare for any restaurant, let alone a trailer. Sure, you might be eating out of plastic takeout containers on a picnic table (there’s also a brick-and-mortar location in Highland), but the basil pesto with gnocchi and tagliatelle with meat sauce are superb, transformative, and worth going out of your way for.

Artipasta Review - Highland - Austin - The Infatuation

"The first brick-and-mortar from the South Austin trailer is at The Linc shopping center in the Highland neighborhood. The space is a humble affair, with an open kitchen and all the charm of a dentist’s waiting room. But don’t discount it because you can get the same as the trailer—like the tagliatelle with the house meat sauce and the basil pesto gnocchi—on actual plates with silverware instead of takeout containers on picnic tables.

South Austin Italian Food Truck Artipasta Is Opening New Restaurant - Eater Austin

"South Austin Italian food truck Artipasta is opening a new pasta restaurant this year in North Austin. The new spot will be found at 6406 North I-35 Frontage Road within the Linc in the Highland neighborhood potentially in late October, but that is subject to change. The new Artipasta will function as a fast-casual space with 20 seats, and a patio might be in the works for the summer of 2023. The truck will remain open. Artipasta co-owners Ugo and Annamaria Bigi, who both helm from Mantova, Italy, focus their menu on house-made pasta and sauces." - Nadia Chaudhury

Easily the best spot in Austin for homemade traditional Italian pasta! I introduced this place to coworkers and now its one of their favorite places for us to grab lunch. The menu is big but not overwhelming. They have a wide verity of different pasta and sauces. My favorites in include the spinach ravioli with a reduced balsamic drizzle, their comforting sausage and mushroom macaroni, and their massive serving of lasagna. If you are looking for Alfredo sauce don't come here but if you want great, perfectly chewy, pasta, this is the place.

I can’t say enough good things about ARTIPASTA at Highland! The food and desserts are absolutely fantastic. Every bite tastes like it was made with the freshest ingredients, full of flavor and care. Jill and Mickey made the experience even better with their warm and attentive service. What really sets ARTIPASTA apart from other Italian spots in town is how authentic and fresh everything feels. It is like being welcomed into someone’s home for a meal made with love. This place has officially earned a spot on my family’s must-go list.

I was skeptical at first about trying this place since the menu didn’t include much of the Italian dishes I cook at home. But the kids and I decided to give it a shot, and I’m so glad we did! Everything was amazing. I ordered the gnocchi in parmesan sauce, which was rich and flavorful. My son had the spaghetti with sausage and loved it, and my daughter ordered the lasagna. She did hurt my feelings a little when she said it was better than mine—very authentic! She couldn’t keep her fork out of my gnocchi either. 😄 The portions were much bigger than we expected, and every bite was worth it. It's definitely a hidden gem we’ll be coming back to!

I came here to visit a friend I haven't seen in a while and we had a blast here. The food was great, we ordered 3 different dishes and they were all phenomenal. I would definitely recommend the tagliatelle with house meat sauce and the maccheroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms. The desserts here are also something you shouldn't pass up on, the chocolate panna cotta was creamy and delightful. The service was attentive and personalized by the Owner himself! Would definitely come back here again sometime! :)

Artipasta’s new fast casual spot is my go-to lunch place now! The quality of the pasta is just as incredible as at the trailer — fresh, authentic, and comforting. The staff is so kind and helpful, they treat every customer like a regular. Look at this photo of SPAGHETTI TOMATO SAUCE took — the presentation is gorgeous, and the flavor is even better. 10/10

Some Dishes are good. Some are not good. Allie e olio is horrible. Reminded me of Maggi noodles. They do not customize the dishes. No addition at all. However their Ravioli was really delicious and finger licking good.

My coworker had seen the restaurant on TikTok and we decided to give it a shot. The food was delicious! The flavors incredible along with the dish presentation. Will definitely go back to try other authentic Italian dishes.

What an amazing find!!! Locally made pasta and the sauce! The owner was humble and committed to make sure we had a great experience. Food was great! Beats any of the expensive Italian restaurant chains out there! Support local business!

What a lovely establishment! I walked in and was immediately greeted by the waitstaff, who were beyond friendly. You could tell they genuinely appreciated having you there and wanted to help. Open seating but by the time we left every table was full! Now the food... W.O.W. I don't usually love getting pasta out but I cannot recommend this enough. The pasta was beautifully made and the sauces were perfection. I WILL be returning!! There are so many more pastas I need to try!

Alright. My bf and I had been excited to try this place after all the reviews. We put on date night clothes and headed there. When we walked in, we were greeted with Walmart lighting and Christmas decor (it's June). Not the romantic ambiance we were desiring but we sat and figured the food would make up for it. We sat and we sat and we sat. We finally realized we had to order at the counter. No one said anything. So that was awkward. We were sad to see they don't serve alcohol but that was our bad with research. I guess we figured Italian places would have wine. We got the house meat sauce at the suggestion of the server and some bread. The bread was $3 and it came out with no butter. It tasted underwhelming like it came from the grocery store. The pasta was ok, but we kept saying it reminded us of taco meat and nacho cheese so we had a hard time getting past that. I would only get take out here to try this place again. Was disappointing. After we went to a bar with atmosphere to get our desired date night vibe.

As an East Coast Italian, I am extremely picky when it comes to Italian dishes. Potato gnocchi is my favorite. Period. I still have fond memories of making homemade gnocchi as a child with my Nana in her kitchen. Of course, when I am dining at an Italian restaurant, I expect that same quality and taste. Sadly, the gnocchi here is obviously not handmade in their kitchen and if it is that is even more of a letdown. The sauce had a bitter taste that I just couldn't place. I am giving three stars because I am hopeful that the next visit (should there be one) will result in a better meal. Perhaps, a pasta not of the frozen variety.

We just had the most fantastic, authentic Italian meal here tonight! And yes, we've been to Italy several times, from top to bottom. The service was excellent: attentive and knowledgeable. The fresh pasta was perfectly "al dente" and the flavors were amazing. Everyone loved their pasta dishes (Tagliatelle, Penne, Lasagna, Gnocchi, etc with sauces from creamy to pesto to meat sauce), the caprese salad, the delicious bread, and the decadent dessert. We took a couple things to go and the owner directed us to the best dishes to take home and how to re-heat them! We will be back regularly!

This was truly an authentic Italian experience. The food, the poor air conditioning, and the lack of free water made me feel like I was in Italy. (Update: the business owner informed me that they do have complimentary water upon request, so I am adding this in!) We were all impressed by our pasta. The taste was very similar to what I've eaten in Italy. I got the maccheroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms. The pasta was very al dente, which isn't my preference, but it was still very good. My friends all got different types of pasta, and they agreed the pasta was very good, but that the portions were small for the price. My pasta was $18. They are Italian-sized portions but with American prices. Their dessert and appetizers were very expensive, so we didn't get any. When I walked in, the employee pointed me to a table where I could sit and read the menu, but then you have to wait in line at the counter to order. I'm not sure how you would reserve the table once you get up to order unless you have a friend waiting there for you while you order for both, which we ended up doing to save the table.

Artipasta is probably one of the best Italian restaurant in Austin. They offer a variety of pasta and I have tried quite a handful of them in the past. Both pastas were really creamy & cheesy and full of flavour! We absolutely love the limoncello, it's not really sweet - soft and spongy. Service is quick but depending on the day you visit. The ambiance gives a minimalist/casual Italian restaurant vibe. Highly recommend it!

The staff and owners are very nice and check in and want to make sure you're enjoying the food. The lighting and tables are not the most aesthetic but they try to spruce of the place with paper place mats and flowers. I think this place is better suited for to-go. But ordered the sausage and creamy macaroni pasta and the spaghetti carbonara. We enjoyed the sausage pasta, it was cooked al dente which isn't my personal favorite but it was tasty. The carbonara was super salty and pasta was overcooked but it wasn't bad. I definitely think this place has much better pasta than other places. I'd like to come back and try their red sauce pastas next time.

First time visiting and I have to say it was worth the trip! The staff are friendly and you can tell the food is authentic. The mushroom tagliatelle was creamy and pasta was cooked to perfect al dente. The size of the plate is misleading because it looks small but I felt super full after cleaning my plate. They also play some fun upbeat Italian music which is fun. The perfect amount of food. I got some bread with my meal and it was chewy and crisp and scored into 4 pieces if you want to easily share with the table. My only negative is the desserts aren't made in house. They do however look very delicious. All in all I recommend anyone who's looking for an authentic meal come try this place out!

I loved how perfectly al dente they cook the pasta and how many vegetarian options they had! The farfalle with lemon cream sauce was amazing and the portion size was just perfect. The bread was just alright - a bit hard. The food came out fairly quickly. The space itself is a little bit small but there was plenty of seating on a Friday evening. They have an option to bring your own wine with no fee which I thought was nice! I will definitely be back to try some of the other pastas!

Artipasta is not for the casual Italian food fan in my opinion. I believe they are trying to give you an authentic food experience, not a casual restaurant experience. The pastas are rich and flavorful. Almost too rich and flavorful for some. I can definitely see why some would enjoy the food. Those being the hardcore Italian pasta lovers. Here the seating area is small; there are no fountain drinks, but the staff was friendly. You order the food and then sit and they'll bring it to you. The portions are small, and like I said depending on what you order it'll be very flavorful. Don't expect a regular experience of spaghetti and meatballs or a romantic dinner. The location is in the Linc. I can't say I would recommend it based on my experience but if you want to try any pasta with a wide array of Italian seasonings and pasta cooked the Italian way definitely visit.

Not for me. Definitely for some people but not for me. The pasta was very al dente and I do personally do not prefer my pasta like that. Flavor was ok, not super flavorful. Everyone was really nice. Not many tables inside.

My order was Tagliatelle with House Meat. The flavor was very creamy and rich in flavors. I've tried a couple Italian spots in Austin and this has by far the best flavors. One thing I didn't like was how hard the pasta was. They had just opened at 5:30pm so I assumed that they rushed the order. My friend got a macaroni with mushrooms plate and her pasta was also hard. As for the service, I loved it! The guy that was taking our order would speak Italian so I appreciated how authentic it made the restaurant feel. The parking was not a problem at all. The area that it's in has so much available parking. Overall it was a great place and I will come back. I'm sure the pasta was hard in this one occasion because of the time I came and there were many people coming for dinner.

Reminds me of the food we had in Northern Italy. The inside is super bright with enough seating for about 22 people. We had the lasagna, the macaroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms and the tagliatelle. Our favorite was the lasagna. It's the best lasagna we've had in the US. Very creamy and fresh. The macaroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms was also very good. You could taste all of the ingredients. We took the beef tagliatelle home for another meal so we could save room for dessert. For dessert, we had the chocolate hazelnut cake which tasted like a Ferrero Roche.

I think I may have found my go-to dish, the tagliatelle with ham and peas! This time the pasta was cooked well, not too al dente like last time. I think they took away the breadsticks, they didn't have them this time. The restaurant also brands itself as "fast casual", for anyone who is wondering the type of restaurant this is.

Food was amazing. I just got back from Italy and the pasta here is truly authentic. The service is very helpful and attentive. I was immediately greeted when i walked in and they were quick to help with any questions. You order at the counter and they bring food out so quick! I will definitely be returning!

A no-frills type of vibe, the pasta is simple, straightforward, handmade, and tasty. We ordered three different kinds to share and enjoyed trying the different flavors. What I would love to highlight is their desserts though- their pistachio cake is delicious!

Best pasta I've had in Austin!! Artipasta has very very fresh and authentic pasta in a cute little restaurant. We tried the macaroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms and the carbonara. Both were super flavorful and delicious. The people working there were super friendly and we had incredible service. Slightly pricey but worth it for the quality of food you are getting. Overall I loved my experience here and I would highly recommend visiting!

The food here is fantastic -- truly probably the best pasta I have had in a very long time. You can tell it's authentic and so are the desserts. We tried the penne alla arabbiata, the casarecce with basil pesto sauce, and the penne with Parmesan cream. The arabbiata was my favorite - garlicky, spicy, and delicious. The basil pesto and the Parmesan cream were also very good. The pasta tasted fresh and was perfectly cooked. We also ordered the fresh bread and the ricotta and pistachio cake. Bread was hot, fresh, soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. The cake was extremely light and we devoured it in 2 mins, no joke. The owner was friendly and service was very prompt. It's a casual place so nothing fancy but clean and inviting. I highly recommend this place!

Since they opened a brick and mortar spot North of Downtown Austin, Ive been meaning to come and finally made it. The seating area is fairly small, but quaint. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We ordered several pasta dishes with the lasagne being my favorite. The portion is huge. Easily can be shared by two. I would also highly recommend the Tiramisu. Love that we have a spot making homemade pasta close by. We will definitely be back.

Well designed menu with lots of variety, and a dessert case worthy of a food stylist. Friendly service, lovely ambiance. The pasta is served truly al dente, and Artipasta offers several choices of San Pellegrino. The ability to BYO wine with no uncorking fee is another plus. I infer that Artipasta began as a food truck (pasta from a food truck?). They were already getting busy by 6 PM on a Wednesday evening. These folks have not gotten out over their skis: I expect that they will continue to grow and thrive. I look forward to the day when a simple fresh green salad will be available alongside my tagliatelle. How long has Austin waited for excellent Italian pasta? I think our wait is finally over.

Yeah that's some pretty solid pasta. I enjoyed the texture of the pasta the most. This place was really hyped up to me, but it honestly fell short of my expectations. Both dishes that I tried tasted a bit one dimensional, leaving me tired of them quite quickly. The guy taking my order was really friendly and helped explain the menu. I did appreciate the casual environment since there's a multitude of boujee Italian places already. At the end of the day, it's a fast and easy meal focused on the food. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other options.

I would give 6/5 stars if I could. The food, price, service, and location were absolutely amazing! When my fiance and I first walked in, we encountered a large menu with what seems like the most popular dishes. While we were taking some time to look at it, Mauro, the owner, came up to us and asked if it was our first time. When we said yes, he gave us the full menu and explained how the ordering/seating worked - you seat yourself and order at the register when ready. We ordered the maccheroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms, tagliatelle with house meat sauce, and tagliatelle with lemon cream. Each one was absolutely delicious - the flavors were simple but bold, and the pasta was perfectly al dente! My favorite was the maccheroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms. The mushrooms were sooo tasty, and the sausage and cheese made each bite more addicting than the last. The portions were also very good for the price. My fiance and I were only able to finish two out of the three plates, and we took the rest to go. We also got some breadsticks as a free appetizer while waiting for our pasta! I have to mention Mauro as well. He checked in on us a few times throughout our meal to make sure we were enjoying it, and he brightened our day by constantly cracking jokes and making conversation! His energy is infectious, and you can tell he is very passionate in what he does. From the moment we walked in to when we left, he made our experience here that much better! The interior was very clean, but also pretty small. I know other reviews knocked the vibe, but I enjoyed it - it felt simple and casual, a hole-in-the-wall shop where the main priority was the food. Definitely not a spot for a nice date, but it's great for a relaxed meal at a great price! The bathroom was extremely clean as well. And, since the restaurant is located in a large plaza, there's plenty of parking. If I lived closer, I would honestly become a regular to try each menu offering. I will definitely be coming back!

Popped by to grab some take out for dinner. I ordered the macaroni with sausage and mushroom, spaghetti with clams, and one more pasta. Everything tasted fresh and home cooked but the pasta got a bit cold and clumpy because I got to-go. Will try dining in next time! There was also a fair amount of sand in my clams. Service was friendly. Inside is casual and BYOW.

Had a fantastic dinner with an off menu special of nduja with gorgonzola sauce on their gnocchi. Others at the table really enjoyed their spaghetti carbonara, and the bite I had reminded me of Rome with the traditional guanciale and egg sauce rather than relying on heavy cream. They have a great selection of pasta dishes with a variety of sauces. My spouse did comment they wish there was an additional protein option for some dishes, just to make more of a substantial meal. For appetizers we had some caprese skewers, and tomato bruschetta. The bruschetta was tasty and had a head of garlic in it, but I loved it. For dessert my child had the chocolate cake which is like a Ferrero Rocher cake and loved it. The tiramisu was also pretty good, nothing earth shattering.

Wow, I might have a very unpopular opinion but I really did not like ARTIPASTA. I tried coming once with a group of friends and it was impossible to get a table, so the best way to try it out is Uber Eats. I ordered the tagliatelle and mushroom/spinach macaroni pasta, and both were extremely underwhelming. The tagliatelle had way too much of this fennel taste, and the texture of the pasta wasn't great either. I also got a small pistachio cake, and that was the only thing that I enjoyed. I loved how light and not too sweet it was. I'm not sure if I ordered the wrong things, but I wasn't a fan of the pasta or the taste.

For a GREAT tasting, nicely presented, authentic Italian meal at a modest price , in a casual friendly atmosphere, I suggest you try ARTIPASTA at the Linc. I live nearby but was unaware of this little treasure till my neighbors took me there for late lunch this Sunday. I was delighted to discover many vegetarian options also. I had a pasta (made fresh) with a creamy sauce and mushrooms and it was so flavorful and perfectly al dente, and we shared a caprese salad that was excellent. Served with some REALLY tasty rolls. THe serving size was large enough for me to bring half of it home for a late night nosh- but OOPS!!! I ate it in my car on the way home! The staff were attentive and very welcoming. If you live anywhere nearby, you owe it to yourself to check this one out. Austin is teeming with new restaurants, it's hard to keep up! But this one is a real stand -out!

Real Italian flavors, great prices, fast service and a cute little small business feel. I really enjoyed the lasagna and the caprese salad is one of the best I've ever had. Their balsamic glaze is wonderfully flavored and they actually add enough seasoning and salt to taste the mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. The basil is fresh too. Nothing wrong on that plate. The cacio e pepe dish was okay, a bit more al dente and more pepper forward than I'm used to. Not a lot of Parmesan cream sauce. This is probably a bit more traditional but I'm more accustomed to a more sauce forward version. My wife got the penne with truffle oil and mushrooms and loves it. I'm not a fan of truffle oil but if you do it's pretty strong and very good she says. The restaurant is fast casual so you order at the counter then pick your table. They all have cute little roses and traditional place mats. It's very cute. Drinks are not unlimited refills but they have a decent little selection of Italian sodas, sodas and water both flat and sparkling. Overall I think the portions are great for the price, definitely a one item per person type of portion on some items like the lasagna. But if you bring a couple people definitely worth doing a little family style meal. The staff were really on top of their game and everything was fresh, fast and really tasty. Great experience.

I am a slut for pasta. Absolutely slut. This pasta is OK. What makes it just OK is the sauces they use. They are too think. Way to think. And they all kind of have the same flavor. If you can cook your own pasta, don't go here. If you can't, this is an OK option. There is much better in the city.

The pasta was cooked well, but the sauce was a bit heavier than I expected and didn't quite hit the savory notes I was hoping for. The sauces felt a little too rich and heavy. I also missed having some bread to help soak up the sauce, this restaurant just gives complimentary packaged hard bread sticks. The service was friendly and seems to be family owned, making for an overall enjoyable experience. The inside is fairly small with minimal decorations.

I would give this place a solid 4.5 stars, except for one employee who VERY CLEARLY did not want to be there. Everyone else was (and always has been) wonderful. The decor is decent, and the food is VERY good. The cashier greeted me and took my order properly. This employee said "hello" very insincerely to me. I have been a repeat customer, both for this location and the South food truck. I arrived first and ordered first. I got two friends to meet me (both their first time) to join me for a meal. I was dismayed to see this employee being very rude to both of them ACROSS the room. I am Deaf so I didn't hear what he was saying, but his body language was VERY dismissive. When my friends came to sit down-they were both like "WOW-what an AH" about his attitude. When the nice cashier came to check on us, I let him know about the other guy's attitude, and he apologized-but I said it was NOT his fault-I just wanted him to pass on the message to the manager/owner.

Finally got to try Artipasta and absolutely loved it! This is such a unique and special Italian restaurant because of its authenticity and no frills vibe. They really focus on what matters most which is the food. The restaurant itself is kind of small and is not very decorated. One thing I enjoy about this spot is their BYOB policy so we brought a bottle of wine to have with our pasta. Our food was honestly so good, the flavors and texture was perfectly done. Super excited to come back and explore the menu more.

This really bums me out to write this review. I was extremely excited to try this place after a couple people recommending it and hyping it up. I ordered to go and it was a little irritating to find out when I got there it was credit card only yet nowhere on their website tells you otherwise, only on their counter tops. Even then the manager/owner was friendly and accommodating and took the cash anyways. No biggie. However I get home and notice the portion amount is pretty small. Still I was like it's probably amazing. Unfortunately that was not the case. Very dry pasta. Barely any sauce. Pasta was very mediocre, almost reminded me of Asian noodles /ramen without the flavor. I added some olive oil to it just to add some moisture to the dish. It was very chewy and dense.. Definitely not the texture of any pasta I've had before. Plus side was the clams were good but kinda hard to mess that up. Paid 40$ for both plates including a tip (tagliatelle mushrooms, spaghetti clams). All in all not my cup of tea, especially for that price. So sad because I really was excited. Oh well. Maybe I had a bad experience.....

First, the food is so good. I tried ARTIPASTA through Uber Eats and then I visited the restaurant. We walked in without a reservation, and it was quite busy with people coming in to sit down and people ordering take out. But the food still came out fast and the service was excellent. It's not really decorated fancy inside and feels fast-food/casual in a way. The pastas I've tried were delicious. For dessert, personally I liked the tiramisu but wasn't a fan of the cannolis. I liked that their entire menu has PICTURES. If you're like me, you need a visual lol. There's free parking because it's in a shopping area off the highway.

The food here is quite delicious. The restaurant itself is very clean and no frills. After you walk in, you order at the counter and then you pick your seat. There aren't too many tables inside so it's not really the sort of place you'll linger but the main star of the show is, appropriately, the food. The pasta is incredible and the sauces are too die for. They aren't like your typical americanized italian versions, which I won't lie, I also like. Their food has more of like a homemade with simple ingredients that all come together in a spectacular fashion. My favorite dish so far was the lasagna. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Staff was very friendly! Most importantly the pasta is made by hand with authentic and traditional shapes. The sauces are typical, delicious, and they have a wide variety. If you can't go all the way to Italy, you can go here. Desserts were fresh and very tasty too.

The first thing I noticed upon walking in here was how many delicious looking options there were. There was a poster board with pictures of some of their pastas, however the actual menu listed more. After much debate, we chose two different ones to try: a creamy pasta and a tomato based one. Both were delicious! Good portion for one serving each, pasta was perfectly al dente, and flavor was there. This spot feels hidden, but there is plenty of seating available inside. Pastas are ordered at the counter and the staff is helpful in describing each dish. Can't wait to come back and try more!

Having had foreknowledge of the fact that four of us were coming here for dinner, I had plenty of time to read the 60+ prior reviews. I have added a couple of things that everyone else overlooked starting with reading the important signage placed next to the cash register. The key takeaways are the fact that this food is northern Italian in style so forget the Olive Garden or macaroni grill fare. Most yelpers really like the food here and there's plenty of parking. The big win for me is the fact that you can bring your own wine or favorite alcoholic beverage which is a huge savings and no corkage fee. However, the only drawback is that they have no wine glasses which I failed to plan for ( bring corkscrew too). Pint glasses only served here. They also sell bottled sparkling water which I recommend, otherwise it's city tap water. Just make sure you order it along with your meal. When you come through the door, you'll be surprised at the small dining space inside supporting about 10 tables with bright LED lights above and a fake rose on the table. There is no wait service here so you order at the cash register. When it's ready, they'll bring it out to you. One thing to keep in mind, this is a cashless restaurant so credit and debit cards only. I had the super cheesy meat lasagna which I recommend, unless you're lactose intolerant. There was no red sauce or marinara on any of our dishes which was expected. The others in the group gave the food high marks as well. Make sure you save room for the tiramisu, it was stellar. So why not five stars? The ambience consists of sitting inside of what amounts to a Dominoes pizza vibe with customers constantly streaming in and out for their "to go" orders. I've also never been a fan of paying AND tipping before you receive the food instead of saving it for the end of the meal when you have the full picture, but that is what they call "fast casual" dining. They also lack drink choices and no pizza served here. Great place for authentic food, but not exactly a romantic spot. One final note, they have just One bathroom and it requires a code to enter. Check out the bill and photos below to satisfy the rest of your curiosity.

Disappointing experience. The place was clean, but the food didn't deliver. The Gnocchi, pesto, penne Gorgonzola, spaghetti Gorgonzola, and spaghetti with marinara sauce were all underwhelming. The pasta was hard and lacked flavor, and it felt like overpriced fast food. The lasagna was the only dish that was decent -- still mid, it missed sauce and was baptized in Parmesan -- but it didn't even look appetizing. For the price, I expected much better quality. Wouldn't recommend.

Tried this place after 3 friends mentioned enjoying the food here. It was good! Got the carbonara and shrimp & lemon pastas. We had this order togo and I would recommend doing so if you're close by. The atmosphere is not romantic, but that doesn't mean their food is not good! Will be going back. Also the counter service was nice!

I'm Italian and I've been living in Austin for 11 months. As an Italian, I couldn't wait to eat Italian pasta, made the way my mom used to make it at home. After several disappointing attempts, I finally found Artipasta, a gem in Austin and the only Italian restaurant truly capable of making and serving authentic Italian pasta. Finally!!! I'll never leave them and I'll recommend them to everyone. My favorite dish is the tagliatelle with meat ragu (they call House meat Sauce) and the lasagna, but the desserts are amazing too! I highly recommend it! Thank you, Artipasta! You've saved my life.

The service here is always exceptional and the waiters are always so friendly! And I am especially a fan of the complimentary breadsticks. They've updated their menus since the last time I've been here, which is awesome. (it used to just be printer paper stapled together) But, I do wish they included the price of everything on the menus. The pasta itself is so good, flavorful and cooked al dente. Some of the dishes are on the saltier side, but I got the lemon shrimp tagliatelle which was really delicious! I expected the shrimp to be super salty but that wasn't the case at all! In fact, if they didn't give extra lemon juice on the side to dip your shrimp in, I would have thought it wasn't salty enough.

Very nice and attentive staff. Unfortunately the food did not meet my expectations. I wanted to Spaghetti Carbonara but they were out of guanciale. They apologized and asked me to pick something else. I opted for the Tagliatelle with House Meat because he said it was their most popular order. It was good but lacked flavor and seasoning. I gave them 3 stars because I ate it all and my cannoli was good! I will be back to try the Carbonara. But I wish the other pasta had hit the spot like I had hoped. One thing I wish is that they had table bread instead of the bread sticks because I would've loved to soak up the meat sauce with some Italian bread. The vibes are like your in your mom's kitchen! Very quiet so good for talking. There is music playing from a speaker so it's not awkward quiet.

I've ordered Artipasta for takeout but finally had an opportunity to dine in. We were warmly greeted by the crew working. Upon entering, there's a large menu highlighting some of their popular dishes which helped to narrow down our selections. It's a casual spot with counter service and we were given packaged breadsticks to nibble on while we waited. Dishes I've enjoyed include the tagliatelle with meat sauce, pesto gnocchi and maccheroni with sausage and mushrooms. The one item that I wouldn't order again is the spaghetti with lemon cream. A great addition to the Linc!

Delicious pasta! Al dente pasta topped with mushrooms. It was very filling and I finished it all in one sitting They don't show the prices on the paper menu, but the the prices range from around $10-$17. They have a big menu with pictures near the door, but it is not the full menu. Breadsticks are complimentary.

Only if you want a super casual yummy meal this is it. Good food attentive staff but very bare bones decor & seating.

Place is extremely small, so get there early if you want to dine in! The way it is set up is an order first then get seated, then you will get served some packaged breadsticks while waiting. The wait wasn't very long, even though the place was packed. The pasta was extremely delicious! And the meat portions were very generous. Definitely will be back for the pasta. The tiramisu was just alright, not my favorite place! But the pasta is a must!
