"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
"Opening its third location later this year, the restaurant will occupy the two-story Old Masonic Lodge at 701 South Main Street in Georgetown and will be revamped with an upstairs bar and a patio; it opens October 26 and will serve Juliet’s typical Italian menu — pastas, pizzas and more — under chef Dane Grogg alongside wines and cocktails. Juliet first opened on Barton Springs Road in 2015, expanded into the Arboretum in 2021 and has since launched two ghost kitchens, Benvolio’s (2021) and Little Juliet (2022). Georgetown hours are 11:30 a.m.–9 p.m. Monday–Thursday, 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Sunday, with daily dinner and happy hour services, weekday lunches and weekend brunches." - Nadia Chaudhury
"I like Juliet Italian Kitchen — that place is good." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Expanded to a second Arboretum location at 10000 Research Boulevard, Building C (opened March 29 for takeout, delivery, and dine-in), this Italian-American restaurant brings its signature menu — including a 12-layer lasagna, meatballs, fresh mozzarella, a variety of pastas and cannolis — to North Austin. The new spot mirrors the South Austin dining room with outdoor seating and private dining, and is overseen by executive chef Wade Guice, who joined the team in 2019 after running the ATX Boudain Hut food truck; former wine director Gina Scott serves as general manager of the Arboretum location. Owners Dan and Donna Wilkins originally opened the business in 2015 in a space formerly occupied by Umami Mia and Romeo and completed a physical and menu revamp in 2017; with two locations they launched Veneto Hospitality, Inc., promoting chef Bryan Cromwell to chief operations officer and former general manager Emily O’Connor to chief management officer. Revenue dipped during the 2020 pandemic but sales have since returned to more normal levels." - Nadia Chaudhury
"There’s an outdoor bar and overhead misters in the Barton Springs restaurant’s “Italy meets Texas” shaded patio." - Nadia Chaudhury
