Sapori Italian Roots

The focaccia bread was not it—very dry and crumbly. The gnochetti with chicken, however, was absolutely delicious and honestly some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. The cannoli was disappointing, and since I love tiramisu, I probably should have gone with that instead. The restaurant itself is very small and doesn’t have the best layout, but I have no complaints about the customer service. I can’t emphasize enough how incredible the pasta was—an easy 10/10 and one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, the appetizer and dessert just didn’t live up to the same standard.

This is a great Italian spot if you’re in the area. Both the food and service were great. Waitstaff were attentive and ensured a good experience. Food was delicious as well, and all the pasta here seems to be homemade. (You can see them making it in the kitchen which was pretty cool). Pricing was reasonable as well.

They start you off with warm focaccia and olive oil, and you can tell it just came out of the oven. That kind of set the tone, because honestly everything they serve tastes like it was made that day. You can see straight into the kitchen too which I loved, watching them actually cook your food makes the whole thing more fun. Portion-wise, one pasta per person is plenty. The plates aren’t huge but they’re the right size for one, so no need to share unless you want to. And save room for the tiramisu. It’s the real deal, creamy and light with just the right amount of sweetness, not the overly sugary version you get at a lot of places. Perfect way to end the meal. It’s downtown so easy to pop into most days. Weekends are a different story though, we’ve seen it packed for dinner, so I’d plan around that. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Mia was our waiter and it was her first day and she was great! Omg the food was one of the best Italians foods I’ve ever head. Beats alot of bougie places ! They can take meat out of the sauce for halal /vegan options. The Alfredo is soo creamy and flavorful! The fried cheese ravioli is the best I’ve ever had! The red sauce and house sauces they make their pasta in are amazing! Their rigatoni is awesome along with their cannolis !

One of my favorite restaurants from this trip to Austin! From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making for a great dining experience. We started with the Burrata Caprese and the complimentary focaccia, both of which were excellent. For our mains, we had the Chicken Parmesan and the Gnochetti with creamy avocado pesto and added shrimp—everything was flavorful, well-balanced, and cooked perfectly. To finish, we enjoyed the Tiramisu, which was the perfect dessert to end the meal. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the service made the experience even better. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in Austin!
