"When to get it: Daily, 4-6pm Head to this self-proclaimed “weirdo Italian restaurant” on the early side of their happy hour—Casa Bianca can fill up, and the oysters sometimes sell out. If you're there on a Tuesday, you can also order half-priced champagne." - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary
"Included among the fresh East Austin entries that readers flagged as part of a broader expansion of noteworthy restaurants away from the city center." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A neon-lit spot had an open table when the reviewer asked on a whim; they wrote, 'I proceeded to have one of the best meals and cocktails ever since I’ve lived in Austin. On a whim. It's really the best when it happens that way,' emphasizing how unexpectedly finding a seat made for an outstanding, memorable dinner and drinks experience." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Mentioned as an impressive spot that stood out to the reviewer." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A rooftop bar opened above Casa Bianca in East Austin that extends the restaurant’s offbeat “weirdo‑Italian” ethos to a casual alfresco program: small bar snacks like conservas and mussels, sandwich offerings, and chilled pasta dishes designed for outdoor dining." - Eater Staff
