ARTIPASTA Italian Food (South Austin)

"Opened by immigrants from the city of Mantova in the Lombardy region of Italy, this Italian food truck offers some of the most true-to-Italy dishes in Austin. Try pasta dishes like the indulgently rich lasagne or casarecce with sage and almond pesto. There’s a second location up in the Linc that has an indoor dining area and a patio. Order takeout online." - Erin Russell

"The side of this trailer located in Thicket Park is emblazoned with a quote from Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini: “Life is a combination of magic and pasta.” He’s right, and Artipasta blends both to make what we’re certain is the most velvety lasagna alla bolognese this side of the Atlantic. Equally good: tagliatelle with creamy mushrooms, casarecce with broccoli and sausage, and rich tiramisu (no pasta, all magic). Thicket, which also houses Brooklyn Breakfast Shop, the great Taiwanese fried chicken truck Song La, and The Celia Jacobs Cheesecake Experience, has picnic tables and a small stage for live music. " - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary

"As you might guess from the name, the trailer Artipasta serves fresh handmade pasta, and it’s possibly some of the best in town. It’s located in the spacious in South Austin. You should get the tagliatelle with the house meat sauce, but all of the pastas are great. There's also . " - Raphael Brion, Nicolai McCrary
