Smash burger and Focaccia
David S.

10/10 every dish was perfect. This place is low key in the best way. Amazing smash burger, drinks and the cheesecake was maybe the best I've ever had. The vibe is European with not so many seats. Order anything and then enjoy the company. A new favorite in Austin.

Chicken piccata
Erica C.

My husband and I will be thinking of this meal for a while. We can't wait to go back! The service is excellent and we were always well attended. We love the vibe too. We sat on the patio and it was perfect outside. I definitely recommend reservations as the inside is very small. I like it though because it's very intimate and gives the cool bar vibe. The food is absolutely delicious too. It's right next door to Este as they are both under the same restaurant group. There is free valet that you can use for both restaurants. I will come back next time for happy hour where you can get 1/2 of their smashburgesa. My ratings of my meal are below. Focaccia with whipped butter - 10/10, perfect crispy outside and soft warm center Papas Fritas - 10/10, crispy frites with nice aioli to pair Chicken piccata - 10/10, I almost didn't order this because it's a dish I always feel is better made at home vs a restaurant but I'm so glad I did. It has perfect acidity and the breading on the chicken was perfect texture. The side salad was a great pairing to balance it all and the vinaigrette was so nice on it Smashburgesa - 100/10 - No words. We will be back to get this for sure. Wagyu beef, griddled ham on top. The textures and flavor all hit so good. My husband is picky on burgers and he loved it. Tres leches - 8/10, I'm not a huge tres leches fan so if you like it then you'll definitely enjoy this version. I like the espresso they used to soak the cake it was a unique spin on this.

Fococcia ($7)
Michelle E.

Bar Toti is the perfect spot to grab a quick bite to eat along with some drinks... it has a neighborhood bistro atmosphere and great happy hour deals! The Smashburgesa lived up to the hype! FAST FACTS: * Parking - complimentary valet and street parking available on side streets nearby * Reservations - available online through Open Table * Outdoor patio seating available * Happy hour specials from 5-6 pm on Sunday through Thursday and all night on Mondays (1/2 off smashburgesas, $2 off signature cocktails, & $2 off wine glasses) * Tutti Al Toti Italian dinner for $35 on Sunday nights SERVICE - We arrived at 5:00 pm when they opened and had a reservation so we were seated right away. There are only a few tables inside so I recommend making a reservation. Our server, Dave, took great care of us from start to finish. PRICING - The total was $68.20 after tax ($5.20) but before tip for an order of focaccia ($7), papa fritas ($9), hot honey sprouts ($15), and 2 la smashburgesas ($16 each). I think the pricing is reasonable for the food quality and portion size but it's definitely more affordable if you go during happy hour. FOCOCCIA (8/10) - A great appetizer! It is cut into 4 pieces. The focaccia was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and the whipped butter with honey and thyme is salty and sweet. I'd order this again. PAPA FRITAS (8/10) - Delicious! The fries are thin but crispy and covered in garlic, shallot, and lemon aioli. These are perfect for an appetizer or to split as a side with the smashburgesa. I'd order this again. HOT HONEY SPROUTS (8/10) - The brussels are cooked really well... they're soft with the right amount of crisp from being fried. The butternut squash puree underneath was DELICIOUS and added some sweetness along with the honey. The sliced almonds paired really well with the earthy flavors and added a nice crunch. I'd order these again. LA SMASHBURGESA (9/10) - This is one of my favorite smash burgers in Austin! The patties are the perfect thickness and cooked well without being overdone. The griddled ham adds a lot of flavor and is super unique. The cheese was melty and the chipotle mayo and escabeche relish add a mild heat and acidity. I'd come back just for this (especially during happy hour when it's 1/2 off). This was my first time trying Bar Toti but I will definitely be back and would recommend it to others. We came for a quick dinner before heading to an event downtown and it was a great experience! I will be sure to come during happy hour next time to take advantage of the great deals they offer!

La Smashburgesa
Alex W.

If you're looking for an intimate, small restaurant with great food, decor and small events, Bar Toti is the place to go. Not only does Bar Toti have one of the best smash burgers in town with La Smashburgesa which takes 2 wagyu feed patties, griddled ham, and a relish that is to die for, it also has some of the most memorable dishes I've had while in Austin. In short, get the Sweet Corn Risotto while you can. My first bite on this last visit left me feeling like Anton Ego when he bit into the Ratatouille for the first time. The risotto/farro were creamy and melt in your mouth. The roasted squash was so wonderfully warm and reminded me of home. It genuinely felt like I got a hug from my mom as a child. The Papas Fritas are also worth the $9 which I still believe is a strangely high price. The garlic, shallot, and lemon aioli they mix together makes such a wonderfully robust mouth feel experience that is popping with flavor. And the fries are so damn crispy! My only issue this past time was I wished they hadn't broken them up into such small pieces. I'm a long fry type of guy myself. The staff are always very nice and noticeably a little eclectic but nothing out of the ordinary for a restaurant in East Austin. We needed the night with the Bay Leaf Flan that tasted much less like bay leaf and more just an absolutely excellent flan dessert. The sauce at the bottom mixed with the blueberries was the perfect bite every time. Highly recommend it while it's still here. If you've yet to try Bar Toti, go soon. They also have half off Smashburgesas all night on Mondays and from 5-6pm Sunday-Thursday. At the very least go for the burger. In summary, Bar Toti is one of my sleeper favorite restaurants in all of Austin. Not dramatically over expensive but damn good food and atmosphere. Check it out.

Smashburgesua gluten free (no bun)
Nicole S.

We stopped in for a celebratory glass of wine on a Monday and ended up stumbling on a stellar happy hour! They have great deals on Mondays and Tuesdays. We had $2 off all our drinks and our burgers were 1/2 off! I actually loved the smashburger on a bed of lettuce, it was delicious and perfectly balanced. They were knowledgeable and helpful about gluten free options. Patio was lovely on a fall evening! The space is small but perfect

Tutti a toti Sunday pasta special
Elle K.

This is the cutest little restaurant for a date night! Especially with their Sunday night pasta special! Inside is so cozy. Not too many tables so I would recommend a reservation if you go on a busy night. There is complementary valet parking outside with the option to tip on Venmo. I came for the Tutti Al Toti Sunday night pasta special for $35. It was a little steep of a price for the amount of food you get but the meal was delicious and you could taste the freshness of the ingredients in the salad. You get a salad with toast and the pasta dish of the month. The vegetables in the salad were some of the best I've had, so fresh. The dressing was borderline too salty but the cucumber and tomatoes helped to balance it out. The pasta dish for June 2025 was tortellini in a vodka sauce and it was awesome. Sauce was a good tangy but made creamy with the ricotta dollops. For dessert we ordered the best dessert in Austin, the pastel de elote. The dessert used to just be served at Este next door but now they serve it at bar toti, so way more accessible now!! If you come eat here, it's a must order. The fruit it's served with also changes seasonally. You will not regret. Overall, I would definitely come back here for the vibes and a fresh delicious meal.

Smashburgesa
Crystal C.

Bar toti has a pretty good happy hour and we came mostly to try the hamburger since everyone has said its the best smash burger in town! For half off it's a great deal and has been on my list ever since I bought a painting inspired by it from none other then the Maridad Studio from the Cathedral who told me how she was inspired by this amazing burger called the smashburgergesa. I bought this painting over a year and a half ago and just had this burger this year...was it life changing? Yes Was it all that the painting portrayed and more? Yes Do I now understand the inspiration? Yes If your in the manor area and looking for a cute spot for a mid-week cocktail and a small bite i'd recommend Bar toti, we also had the roasted carrots in a yogurt sauce. Something about roasted carrots always pleases me not sure what it is, it's so simplistic but probably one of my favorite veggies. The parking situation is street parking in the neighborhood or valet, service is always nice and seating is plentiful outside. If you want to sit inside make sure to make a reservation especially once it starts to get hot due how Hot it gets out here!

Interior
Chris W.

Highly recommend this place for food and drinks. The Smashburgesa lives up to the hypes and the grilled ham inside the burger tasted a little bit like bacon. Delicious. Papas fritas and focaccia are great sides. The Muhammara grilled pepper and pecan dip is pretty savory. We also fried the mushroom medley dish with meaty mushroom and manchego. I tried a spoonful of the risotto. Not bad. The classic drinks were made to perfection. The bartender did a good job. The service was decent. We got our food pretty quickly. The interior is pretty small. Casual ambiance but people still dressed up. The chairs are wooden. Not very comfortable. There is only one unisex bathroom. The running water from the faucet was set on hot water only. Maybe it was just that night. But be careful not to burn your hands. I'm sure they will get it fixed. Complimentary valet parking available. Definitely would come back again!

Pasta
Kim D.

Went here for the Sunday dinner special which is a rotation handmade pasta, salad & bread. Everything was so delicious and the perfect serving size for one person. I would come again for the Sunday special or just to have a drink and shared small plates

muhamarra red pepper dip, french fries, corn chowder
Sam H.

Solid place for drinks/apps. We enjoyed the food we got, and service was good. The location is very convenient and the decor/outside seating is very pretty with lights and trees. We sat outside on a chilly night but the heaters kept us sufficiently warm. The fries were a standout: delicious and very garlicy. Enjoyed the other dishes too, and the sangria was fruity and sweet. Definitely on the pricier side, $70 ish for 3 apps and 1 drink. Would recommend making a reservation, we got here at 6pm and there was a one hour wait for indoor seating (no wait for outside because it was a colder night)

Ginger beer and modelito
Michelle V.

Best smash burger I've ever had!! The ham and relish is truly top notch - it is so delicious! The papas fritas on the side with the aoli are incredible too! Highly recommend both of these things. I got a ginger beer (so refreshing and light with the burger/fry combo) And we also got the Modelito ($3 small beer) Burgers are half off during HH from 5-6 Sunday - Thursday!! The indoor is so cute and the light fixtures are beautiful! Service was great and we were the first table to order and our food came out in less than 10 minutes! We loved it and will definitely be back!

Kellee P.

Went recently for a relaxing date with my boyfriend since we were both craving the la smashburgesa that we kept seeing on tiktok. It was so juicy, I also got an extra side of the aioli to dip the burger in. 9/10! We also got two cocktails, the palomita and the 50/50 manhattan. We rate those a 6/10 for each! We are definitely excited to go back for dinner time.

As always, Bar Toti never disappoints! My boyfriend and I decided we wanted to go out for dinner last minute on Friday, and we looked online and snagged the last reservation available at Bar Toti. We found free street parking in the neighborhood and walked over. We were seated immediately when we arrived, and service was very attentive right from the beginning. We each started with a tinto de verano to drink, and then we ordered the focaccia (so tasty with the honey butter!) and the garden salad. Bar Toti recommends that you order 2 plates at a time, since they come out right as they are ready. The garden salad was surprisingly big and so flavorful! Then, we got the mushrooms (the cheese on the top is a nice touch!) and the burger (this is always a go-to). Finally, we got the fries, which were great! Everything is fresh and delicious. I have no complaints and will certainly be back soon! Also, although this was not a concern for us, Bar Toti is very accommodating to dietary restrictions. We have vegan & vegetarian friends, as well as friends with severe peanut allergies that come here without any issues!

BUY IN STORE -- Not online…read more I truly hate writing this review because Rebel Cheese's products are excellent but the fulfillment and customer experience were a mess from start to finish. I ordered a holiday cheese box on December 3 as a Christmas gift. My card was charged immediately. The order never shipped, and I received no communication until I followed up myself, multiple times. After the holidays, I learned (only because I kept pushing) that my order had been internally canceled due to a system glitch, with no email, no refund, and no outreach. I was repeatedly told it would ship on specific dates that came and went. A replacement order was finally sent in January. It arrived late, wet, with melted and ruptured ice packs, and the cheese was very soft to the point my friends weren't sure it was safe to eat. The box also lacked the gift note that was supposed to be included. What bothers me most is that my card would have stayed charged indefinitely if I hadn't chased this down myself. That's not okay especially for perishable food. It's a real shame, because the product itself is great. But based on this experience, I can't recommend ordering gifts or anything time-sensitive unless the fulfillment and communication processes dramatically improve.

I have heard and read wonderful reviews about their products.That doesn't matter much if they don't…read moreship your order on time. I was hosting several vegan family and friends for Thanksgiving, and planned to serve their cheeses as an appetizer for all 15 guests. I followed their shipping date cut off and ordered well before the cut off. I ordered 11 days before Thanksgiving. On the Monday before I still had not received any communication about my order and their website said it was being processed. I tried to call and got a message that they were too busy to answer the phone and to send an email instead. I sent the email and the reply was We are very busy but doing everything we can to fulfill orders. They promised to overnight any orders not shipped on Monday. On the day before Thanksgiving I found out they did not ship my order and essentially asked that I understand because they are so busy. They offered to ship my order later and they would throw something in for free for my inconvenience. This was a standard poorly written customer communication. I replied and explained how after their reassurances they had left me without my order or sufficient time to find a suitable replacement. This time a got a genuine reply from Luis, but same offer full refund, or some free item. It nice for them that they are so busy that they can't fulfill customer orders on time. My experience was being left holding the bag last minute and not much in the way of an apology.

I also tried the mozzarella, which was good but fairly straightforward. Honestly, I probably would've been happier just sticking with those two dishes. Unfortunately, the pasta didn't work for me. It felt a bit dry and heavy, and just wasn't something I enjoyed or wanted to finish. I also found the payment process a bit confusing. They do provide menu pricing, but you're given a sheet to fill out what you want to pay, and I wasn't totally sure what was expected. It made the overall value feel unclear--and that's even considering I paid quite a bit less than what the meal would normally cost. That said, the atmosphere and the people were enjoyable, and I do like the idea behind offering this kind of night. It just didn't fully come together for me from a food and value standpoint.

I was looking forward to meeting a friend here for dinner. Since I had already been to the Round…read moreRock location, I had confidence the food would be good here as well. With this place coming up on almost 500 Yelp reviews and sitting at four+ stars, that says something. It's located at a convenient location on 51st just a few blocks from I 35 and sits at the corner of Lancaster beneath three stories of apartments. There's only about six parking spaces available in front of the restaurant, otherwise you'll have to park in some other retail spaces further away. Inside it's quite small and intimate with about a dozen tables on the floor and 8 chairs at the bar. They do post some daily specials on the board when you walk in or you can stick to the menu. They do have a wine menu, but it's only limited to 22 choices at 2-3 times retail. We started off with some fried cheese ravioli and calamari. I loved the light breading on the calamari rings and no tentacles were included. My main course of chicken Parmesan was some of the best I've ever had. My guest enjoyed his entrée of shrimp and muscles. We washed it all down with a glass of their organic primativo. We then finished it all off with a dense chocolate fudge cake. You can easily spend $200 a couple for apps, entrées, wine, dessert, and tip. We showed up on a Friday evening without a reservation and there was just a few people in the restaurant, but it's best to make reservations for Valentines. If you're looking for pizza, you won't find it on the menu here. It's a place I'd come back to. Check out the informative photos.

I was less enthusiastic about this establishment than was my dining partner, Steve W…read more On a Friday night, Gino's was less than 1/5 full ... So other people might share my point of view. However, there was really only one objective thing wrong with Gino's on 51st street. Everything else was a matter of personal taste. Personal tastes can vary in what one wants to see in an American Italian restaurant. * * * The only objective fail was a fried calamari appetizer. The fry job was not good and the calamari were tough and not too tasty. People don't go to Italian restaurants just to get fried calamari, even though it is a common enough appetizer. * * * The one objective WOW WOW WOW was their chocolate cake. Steve W and I split one of these babies. It is kept in the refrigerator and served ice cold. The stuff is totally addictive. No matter how the rest of your meal goes, The chocolate cake will atone for all sins. * * * Now for the matters in dispute. The big question is do you like your American Italian tomato forward or tomato restrained? I grew up in Boston in the 1950s and 1960s where all the Italian food was tomato restrained. This included the famous Italian houses in the North End and our family's favorite, Simeone's in Cambridge. The recipes at Gino's could have come out of any those establishments. This explains Steve W's vigorous thumbs up. * * * American Italian in Philadelphia is tomato forward. Boston has evolved into a tomato forward town although exceptions do exist in particular houses. After I graduated high school and went out in the world, I discovered tomato forward. (Including, in Manhattan, a Legendary Spaghetti Caruso which was tomato forward with chicken livers. Sarah Vaughan was singing gospel to the diners. Now THAT was one meal I will never forget!) Once I discovered tomato forward, there was no going back. Whenever I cook Italian, I cook tomato forward. Whenever I encounter tomato restrained, I go "That's Nice, Dear." * * * Steve W.'s chicken parmigiana and my cioppino were both tomato restrained. I make a killer cioppino myself (although I have been bested by more than one West Coast seafood establishment.) Cioppino needs to be tomato forward all the way - and when you get down right to it, totally heavy-handed with the tomato. Needing tomato was especially important at Gino's where the seafood was on again off again. (Scallops and clams were legitimately superb. The shrimp like the calamari, not so much.) So I enjoyed part of my meal. * * * Fortunately, Steve W. is a dazzling conversationalist with a wealth of knowledge about a wide range of topics. So the dinner was marvelous, when I thought less about my food and more about the ideas he was putting forward. And there was that cake. So as a total experience, the night was five stars. * * * However, if you are going without Steve W., Then watch yourself on the menu. Something like an Alfredo or a Piccata might be a better main dish call. That - and be sure to order dessert. (Heh heh)
