"Find top-notch Italian from this under-the-radar Zilker neighborhood restaurant. The white-tablecloth spot with a grand piano (!) serves up Northern Italian cuisine spanning pasta (try the gnocchi alla vodka or spaghettini scampi), bruschette, risotto, and much more, all rounded out by a stellar wine list and original cocktails. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are Uber Eats deliveries; and there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury

"A Northern Italian restaurant opened in 2017 by chef-owner Al Fini, specializing in traditional Piedmontese fare and Northern Italian dishes such as Venetian-style tapas, veal chops, seafood, pastas, cheeses, and sweets. The spot also serves cocktails, wines, and beers and builds on the owner’s earlier experiment with a market-and-café concept, reflecting a focus on regional Italian traditions in both small plates and full entrees." - Darcie Duttweiler
