Juliet Italian Kitchen serves hearty Italian-American classics in a chic multiroom space, with a lush patio perfect for after-park drinks.
"The Barton Springs Italian restaurant is a hotbed of private rooms. The Cantania Room in the back is soundproofed and features a hidden television screen. Find similar setups at its other two locations in the Arboretum and Georgetown." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury

"Stone Cold Stunner of 2015 When the Zilker Italian restaurant opened, it was a beautiful was a beautiful multi-space establishment with bright and ornate details, from the dim dining room to the walnut bar to the lush patio. The physical space and menu underwent a revamp in 2017. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"I like Juliet Italian Kitchen, that place is good." - Nadia Chaudhury
"After a long afternoon at Zilker Park, sometimes all you want is a big plate of pasta, a glass of wine, and some air conditioning. And when you want all that without getting in a car, Juliet is your best bet. This is probably the most romantic restaurant on that little stretch of Barton Springs Road between MoPac and Lamar, set in a large, old house with lots of tiny dining rooms that make the whole place feel surprisingly intimate for its capacity. And there’s a massive wraparound patio that’s perfect for taking in the sights and sounds of the busy stretch of roadway over a glass of wine. But while the space and the atmosphere are all worth visits of their own, you’re probably not visiting for the food alone. Expect solid apps, including a very crispy calamari starter—oddly complete with giant chunks of breaded and fried lemon peel—and somewhat forgettable pastas. You won’t be too disappointed, but you probably won’t be blown away either. Come to Juliet for an evening of drinks and light bites after a day at the park, or for a glass of wine during .
