Such a good find in Austin! If you're ever craving pasta, this is the place to stop by. We went on a Thursday night and it was pretty busy, but everyone who came in was still able to get a table. It feels very authentic. No Italian-American staples like Alfredo, meatballs, or garlic bread, which was actually refreshing since I'm so used to that style. You can either sit down first and take your time with the menu, or order in line before grabbing a table. Either way, they're very chill about it. Another cool thing: they're BYOB and will even cork it for you. Saw other guests bring their own glasses too, which was a nice touch. The pasta is clearly fresh. I'd recommend the macaroni with mushrooms and sausage. I got the tagliatelle with lemon shrimp cream sauce and loved it, though now I'm curious to try one of their non-cream-based sauces next time. Also spotted another table's lasagna go by and the portion was huge. Already excited to go back next time I'm in Austin. Definitely check this spot out! read more

A wonderful Italian cook Who has to work with the same not wonderful ingredients that all of us Americans have to put up with. Italian cooking is ingredient dependent - Even if the cook is a combination of Escoffier, Paul Bocuse and James Beard, An American tomato is an American tomato. To see what the amazing chef of Artipasta can do if he can get the materials worthy of his talents, Try his Pasta and Sardines. There is nothing wrong with American sardines. That dish will fly you to the moon. Other more tomato-dependent items on the menu are pleasant enough. It is sad to see this enormously talented individual being as underutilized as he is. But nothing here is bad. If you think like a cook yourself, You will find other items of glory on the menu. read more

I've been wanting to try this spot out since they've been opened. We were in the area and decided to grab some pastas and take it home. The restaurant itself is quite small and unassuming. The person that took our order wasn't exactly polite. He wasn't rude, but seemed irritated for some reason or the other. The food itself was very good. The food was piping hot even when we got home, so could tell it was fresh. I was a big fan of both of the pasta dishes we got, and honestly there are quite a few more on the menu that I want to try! I will say, the pricing is a bit high for the amount of food you're getting and the lack of ambiance/service. The prices on their pasta dishes are the same prices as some very high end Italian restaurants in Austin... read more

ARTIPASTA - Maccheroni Creamy Sausage and Mushrooms - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Finally found the best Italian food in Austin! Fresh, authentic and delicious. Service was kind and attentive. They have dine in options and you can order via door dash, etc. Now for the food! I normally don't eat Americanized Italian but this was pleasantly different. We were a group and all order something different to share...solid strategy! My pasta favorites were: 1. Maccheroni with sausage 2. Lasagna 3. Penne with mushrooms and truffle oil 10/10! I would order these again! The desserts were equally delicious but the limoncello cake was my favorite followed by the pistachio cake. Apparently the cannolis are amazing so we'll try that next time. If you want good and authentic Italian, this is your place. read more

ARTIPASTA is a really good neighborhood spot for fresh pasta. We tried four different pastas and they were all good but none were amazing. Everything tasted freshly made and everyone at our table enjoyed their dishes. The pasta was cooked nicely al dente and the sauces were fine. Nothing was overly strong or bold. Part of me wanted a little more flavor, but overall it worked. The place itself is very no frills. Think strip mall, bright fluorescent lighting, and counter service. It's small, maybe ten tables, and as we were leaving a line had started to form. The ordering area becomes a choke point because there's nowhere to wait if tables are full and there isn't any outdoor seating. On the plus side, it's BYOB, which makes the experience a lot more fun because you can bring whatever bottle you want to pair with your pretty good pasta. They seem to do a brisk takeout business. Honestly, that might be the best way to go if you want fresh, reliable pasta without worrying about the tight seating situation. Solid food, simple vibe, and a great option if you're in the mood for unfussy Italian. read more

What a lovely establishment! I walked in and was immediately greeted by the waitstaff, who were beyond friendly. You could tell they genuinely appreciated having you there and wanted to help. Open seating but by the time we left every table was full! Now the food... W.O.W. I don't usually love getting pasta out but I cannot recommend this enough. The pasta was beautifully made and the sauces were perfection. I WILL be returning!! There are so many more pastas I need to try! read more

ARTIPASTA - Tagliatelle (egg pasta) with House Meat Sauce Penne Creamy Sausage and Mushrooms - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

The staff is wonderful here. They are always so helpful and answer any questions I have. The pictures where they are from on the wall is pretty cool. I liked the caprese salad and the taglaia with cream and mushroom sauce. The bread i think i think it was stragilia with olive oil was delicious. read more

ARTIPASTA - Daily special lasagna . - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

This was truly an authentic Italian experience. The food, the poor air conditioning, and the lack of free water made me feel like I was in Italy. (Update: the business owner informed me that they do have complimentary water upon request, so I am adding this in!) We were all impressed by our pasta. The taste was very similar to what I've eaten in Italy. I got the maccheroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms. The pasta was very al dente, which isn't my preference, but it was still very good. My friends all got different types of pasta, and they agreed the pasta was very good, but that the portions were small for the price. My pasta was $18. They are Italian-sized portions but with American prices. Their dessert and appetizers were very expensive, so we didn't get any. When I walked in, the employee pointed me to a table where I could sit and read the menu, but then you have to wait in line at the counter to order. I'm not sure how you would reserve the table once you get up to order unless you have a friend waiting there for you while you order for both, which we ended up doing to save the table. read more

Interesting little find. Small, almost deli like but the lasagna was spot on 'authentico'. Nice unexpected lunch....very large portion.

Artipasta is one of our favorite Italian pasta places in Austin. No frills, friendly people and freshly made pasta. This location is indoor o and not like the food truck in S austin - dont expect fancy service or boujee ambiance though - it is order at the counter and have very basic seating. The people there were very friendly and helpful! We have four different things: meat sauce with tagliatelle, clam spaghetti, carbonara and macaroni with meat and mushroom. We all thoroughly enjoy our meals. The cherry on top is the lemoncello cake, light and fluffy with a fresh lemon taste. They also give you a very light whipped cream on the side that was airy and lightly sweetened. Its like nothing I have had before!! The pistachio cake has a strong marzipan flavor - it was not my fav but just bc I dont like almond extract very much. We walked in on a Saturday night around 7pm and got a table immediately. After that seems like there will be a small wait. Overall lovely and would highly recommend. Bill was about $100 ish for 4 people. read more

Got the penne with creamy sausage and mushroom to-go and was left disappointed. The pasta was pretty flavorless and lacked salt. It was also extremely oily. read more

First time visiting and I have to say it was worth the trip! The staff are friendly and you can tell the food is authentic. The mushroom tagliatelle was creamy and pasta was cooked to perfect al dente. The size of the plate is misleading because it looks small but I felt super full after cleaning my plate. They also play some fun upbeat Italian music which is fun. The perfect amount of food. I got some bread with my meal and it was chewy and crisp and scored into 4 pieces if you want to easily share with the table. My only negative is the desserts aren't made in house. They do however look very delicious. All in all I recommend anyone who's looking for an authentic meal come try this place out! read more

ARTIPASTA - Tagliatelle (eggs pasta) with Parmesan Cream with mushroom - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

In a strip mall, decent parking. Pasta came out Al dente and relatively quickly. Cannoli's took a significant amount of time even after ordering and finishing the meal. But my friend said they were good with a lot of chocolate and other toppings. Pasta was around $18 if I remember correctly, but overall small casual eatery vibes. Would come again! read more

ARTIPASTA - Tagliatelle House Meat Sauce - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Artipasta is probably one of the best Italian restaurant in Austin. They offer a variety of pasta and I have tried quite a handful of them in the past. Both pastas were really creamy & cheesy and full of flavour! We absolutely love the limoncello, it's not really sweet - soft and spongy. Service is quick but depending on the day you visit. The ambiance gives a minimalist/casual Italian restaurant vibe. Highly recommend it! read more

Reminds me of the food we had in Northern Italy. The inside is super bright with enough seating for about 22 people. We had the lasagna, the macaroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms and the tagliatelle. Our favorite was the lasagna. It's the best lasagna we've had in the US. Very creamy and fresh. The macaroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms was also very good. You could taste all of the ingredients. We took the beef tagliatelle home for another meal so we could save room for dessert. For dessert, we had the chocolate hazelnut cake which tasted like a Ferrero Roche. read more

I think I may have found my go-to dish, the tagliatelle with ham and peas! This time the pasta was cooked well, not too al dente like last time. I think they took away the breadsticks, they didn't have them this time. The restaurant also brands itself as "fast casual", for anyone who is wondering the type of restaurant this is. read more

ARTIPASTA - Tagliatelle (eggs pasta) With Ham & Sweet Green Peas - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

As an East Coast Italian, I am extremely picky when it comes to Italian dishes. Potato gnocchi is my favorite. Period. I still have fond memories of making homemade gnocchi as a child with my Nana in her kitchen. Of course, when I am dining at an Italian restaurant, I expect that same quality and taste. Sadly, the gnocchi here is obviously not handmade in their kitchen and if it is that is even more of a letdown. The sauce had a bitter taste that I just couldn't place. I am giving three stars because I am hopeful that the next visit (should there be one) will result in a better meal. Perhaps, a pasta not of the frozen variety. read more

Not for me. Definitely for some people but not for me. The pasta was very al dente and I do personally do not prefer my pasta like that. Flavor was ok, not super flavorful. Everyone was really nice. Not many tables inside. read more

ARTIPASTA - Maccheroni (egg pasta) Creamy Sausage and Mushrooms - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

The food here is fantastic -- truly probably the best pasta I have had in a very long time. You can tell it's authentic and so are the desserts. We tried the penne alla arabbiata, the casarecce with basil pesto sauce, and the penne with Parmesan cream. The arabbiata was my favorite - garlicky, spicy, and delicious. The basil pesto and the Parmesan cream were also very good. The pasta tasted fresh and was perfectly cooked. We also ordered the fresh bread and the ricotta and pistachio cake. Bread was hot, fresh, soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. The cake was extremely light and we devoured it in 2 mins, no joke. The owner was friendly and service was very prompt. It's a casual place so nothing fancy but clean and inviting. I highly recommend this place! read more

Since they opened a brick and mortar spot North of Downtown Austin, Ive been meaning to come and finally made it. The seating area is fairly small, but quaint. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We ordered several pasta dishes with the lasagne being my favorite. The portion is huge. Easily can be shared by two. I would also highly recommend the Tiramisu. Love that we have a spot making homemade pasta close by. We will definitely be back. read more

We just had the most fantastic, authentic Italian meal here tonight! And yes, we've been to Italy several times, from top to bottom. The service was excellent: attentive and knowledgeable. The fresh pasta was perfectly "al dente" and the flavors were amazing. Everyone loved their pasta dishes (Tagliatelle, Penne, Lasagna, Gnocchi, etc with sauces from creamy to pesto to meat sauce), the caprese salad, the delicious bread, and the decadent dessert. We took a couple things to go and the owner directed us to the best dishes to take home and how to re-heat them! We will be back regularly! read more

I love Artipasta. But today's delivery order left me flat. The food is good, not great. Ordered three pastas at $20 each. Two of the portions were not fully delivered IMO. At $20 a piece. Shameful. I get the restaurants are dealing with cost issues, but I'm a loyal customer and I find this sad and nearly knocking them off of my rotation. read more

Well designed menu with lots of variety, and a dessert case worthy of a food stylist. Friendly service, lovely ambiance. The pasta is served truly al dente, and Artipasta offers several choices of San Pellegrino. The ability to BYO wine with no uncorking fee is another plus. I infer that Artipasta began as a food truck (pasta from a food truck?). They were already getting busy by 6 PM on a Wednesday evening. These folks have not gotten out over their skis: I expect that they will continue to grow and thrive. I look forward to the day when a simple fresh green salad will be available alongside my tagliatelle. How long has Austin waited for excellent Italian pasta? I think our wait is finally over. read more

Yeah that's some pretty solid pasta. I enjoyed the texture of the pasta the most. This place was really hyped up to me, but it honestly fell short of my expectations. Both dishes that I tried tasted a bit one dimensional, leaving me tired of them quite quickly. The guy taking my order was really friendly and helped explain the menu. I did appreciate the casual environment since there's a multitude of boujee Italian places already. At the end of the day, it's a fast and easy meal focused on the food. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other options. read more

ARTIPASTA - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

The staff and owners are very nice and check in and want to make sure you're enjoying the food. The lighting and tables are not the most aesthetic but they try to spruce of the place with paper place mats and flowers. I think this place is better suited for to-go. But ordered the sausage and creamy macaroni pasta and the spaghetti carbonara. We enjoyed the sausage pasta, it was cooked al dente which isn't my personal favorite but it was tasty. The carbonara was super salty and pasta was overcooked but it wasn't bad. I definitely think this place has much better pasta than other places. I'd like to come back and try their red sauce pastas next time. read more

Best pasta I've had in Austin!! Artipasta has very very fresh and authentic pasta in a cute little restaurant. We tried the macaroni with creamy sausage and mushrooms and the carbonara. Both were super flavorful and delicious. The people working there were super friendly and we had incredible service. Slightly pricey but worth it for the quality of food you are getting. Overall I loved my experience here and I would highly recommend visiting! read more

ARTIPASTA - Maccheroni (egg pasta) Creamy Sausage and Mushrooms, Carbonara - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

I loved how perfectly al dente they cook the pasta and how many vegetarian options they had! The farfalle with lemon cream sauce was amazing and the portion size was just perfect. The bread was just alright - a bit hard. The food came out fairly quickly. The space itself is a little bit small but there was plenty of seating on a Friday evening. They have an option to bring your own wine with no fee which I thought was nice! I will definitely be back to try some of the other pastas! read more

Popped by to grab some take out for dinner. I ordered the macaroni with sausage and mushroom, spaghetti with clams, and one more pasta. Everything tasted fresh and home cooked but the pasta got a bit cold and clumpy because I got to-go. Will try dining in next time! There was also a fair amount of sand in my clams. Service was friendly. Inside is casual and BYOW. read more

Had a fantastic dinner with an off menu special of nduja with gorgonzola sauce on their gnocchi. Others at the table really enjoyed their spaghetti carbonara, and the bite I had reminded me of Rome with the traditional guanciale and egg sauce rather than relying on heavy cream. They have a great selection of pasta dishes with a variety of sauces. My spouse did comment they wish there was an additional protein option for some dishes, just to make more of a substantial meal. For appetizers we had some caprese skewers, and tomato bruschetta. The bruschetta was tasty and had a head of garlic in it, but I loved it. For dessert my child had the chocolate cake which is like a Ferrero Rocher cake and loved it. The tiramisu was also pretty good, nothing earth shattering. read more

Artipasta is not for the casual Italian food fan in my opinion. I believe they are trying to give you an authentic food experience, not a casual restaurant experience. The pastas are rich and flavorful. Almost too rich and flavorful for some. I can definitely see why some would enjoy the food. Those being the hardcore Italian pasta lovers. Here the seating area is small; there are no fountain drinks, but the staff was friendly. You order the food and then sit and they'll bring it to you. The portions are small, and like I said depending on what you order it'll be very flavorful. Don't expect a regular experience of spaghetti and meatballs or a romantic dinner. The location is in the Linc. I can't say I would recommend it based on my experience but if you want to try any pasta with a wide array of Italian seasonings and pasta cooked the Italian way definitely visit. read more

Wow, I might have a very unpopular opinion but I really did not like ARTIPASTA. I tried coming once with a group of friends and it was impossible to get a table, so the best way to try it out is Uber Eats. I ordered the tagliatelle and mushroom/spinach macaroni pasta, and both were extremely underwhelming. The tagliatelle had way too much of this fennel taste, and the texture of the pasta wasn't great either. I also got a small pistachio cake, and that was the only thing that I enjoyed. I loved how light and not too sweet it was. I'm not sure if I ordered the wrong things, but I wasn't a fan of the pasta or the taste. read more

ARTIPASTA - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Alright. My bf and I had been excited to try this place after all the reviews. We put on date night clothes and headed there. When we walked in, we were greeted with Walmart lighting and Christmas decor (it's June). Not the romantic ambiance we were desiring but we sat and figured the food would make up for it. We sat and we sat and we sat. We finally realized we had to order at the counter. No one said anything. So that was awkward. We were sad to see they don't serve alcohol but that was our bad with research. I guess we figured Italian places would have wine. We got the house meat sauce at the suggestion of the server and some bread. The bread was $3 and it came out with no butter. It tasted underwhelming like it came from the grocery store. The pasta was ok, but we kept saying it reminded us of taco meat and nacho cheese so we had a hard time getting past that. I would only get take out here to try this place again. Was disappointing. After we went to a bar with atmosphere to get our desired date night vibe. read more

My order was Tagliatelle with House Meat. The flavor was very creamy and rich in flavors. I've tried a couple Italian spots in Austin and this has by far the best flavors. One thing I didn't like was how hard the pasta was. They had just opened at 5:30pm so I assumed that they rushed the order. My friend got a macaroni with mushrooms plate and her pasta was also hard. As for the service, I loved it! The guy that was taking our order would speak Italian so I appreciated how authentic it made the restaurant feel. The parking was not a problem at all. The area that it's in has so much available parking. Overall it was a great place and I will come back. I'm sure the pasta was hard in this one occasion because of the time I came and there were many people coming for dinner. read more

ARTIPASTA - Tagliatelle (egg pasta) with House Meat Sauce - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

A no-frills type of vibe, the pasta is simple, straightforward, handmade, and tasty. We ordered three different kinds to share and enjoyed trying the different flavors. What I would love to highlight is their desserts though- their pistachio cake is delicious! read more

Real Italian flavors, great prices, fast service and a cute little small business feel. I really enjoyed the lasagna and the caprese salad is one of the best I've ever had. Their balsamic glaze is wonderfully flavored and they actually add enough seasoning and salt to taste the mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. The basil is fresh too. Nothing wrong on that plate. The cacio e pepe dish was okay, a bit more al dente and more pepper forward than I'm used to. Not a lot of Parmesan cream sauce. This is probably a bit more traditional but I'm more accustomed to a more sauce forward version. My wife got the penne with truffle oil and mushrooms and loves it. I'm not a fan of truffle oil but if you do it's pretty strong and very good she says. The restaurant is fast casual so you order at the counter then pick your table. They all have cute little roses and traditional place mats. It's very cute. Drinks are not unlimited refills but they have a decent little selection of Italian sodas, sodas and water both flat and sparkling. Overall I think the portions are great for the price, definitely a one item per person type of portion on some items like the lasagna. But if you bring a couple people definitely worth doing a little family style meal. The staff were really on top of their game and everything was fresh, fast and really tasty. Great experience. read more

The pasta was cooked well, but the sauce was a bit heavier than I expected and didn't quite hit the savory notes I was hoping for. The sauces felt a little too rich and heavy. I also missed having some bread to help soak up the sauce, this restaurant just gives complimentary packaged hard bread sticks. The service was friendly and seems to be family owned, making for an overall enjoyable experience. The inside is fairly small with minimal decorations. read more

The food is the focus. Excellent home-made pasta. Love the bring your own wine. And the owners are lovely.

First, the food is so good. I tried ARTIPASTA through Uber Eats and then I visited the restaurant. We walked in without a reservation, and it was quite busy with people coming in to sit down and people ordering take out. But the food still came out fast and the service was excellent. It's not really decorated fancy inside and feels fast-food/casual in a way. The pastas I've tried were delicious. For dessert, personally I liked the tiramisu but wasn't a fan of the cannolis. I liked that their entire menu has PICTURES. If you're like me, you need a visual lol. There's free parking because it's in a shopping area off the highway. read more

ARTIPASTA - Ravioli Spinach Ricotta - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is the real deal! These are not your American "Italian" dishes but authentic recipes originating primarily from the Lombardy region in Northern Italy. My husband is from Rome and has been cooking especially Roman dishes for me on an almost daily basis for many years. He and Mr. Bigi spent a long time discussing culinary and cultural differences and similarities, we learned a lot. We had the Caserecce with almonds and sage and Tagliatelle with the house meat sauce and we thoroughly enjoyed both. As desserts, we had the Crema catalana and pistacchio panna cotta. Both were delicious! read more

The first thing I noticed upon walking in here was how many delicious looking options there were. There was a poster board with pictures of some of their pastas, however the actual menu listed more. After much debate, we chose two different ones to try: a creamy pasta and a tomato based one. Both were delicious! Good portion for one serving each, pasta was perfectly al dente, and flavor was there. This spot feels hidden, but there is plenty of seating available inside. Pastas are ordered at the counter and the staff is helpful in describing each dish. Can't wait to come back and try more! read more
