Garlic Bread
Emmy H.

First of all, love the set up of this place. Love how you order at a counter and all the seating is outdoors. The string lights set a nice vibe and there's ample seating. No complaints about service, everyone who helped us was kind. The food was good as hell! I got the Cacio E Pepe and it was so yummy. The noodles were boiled perfectly. I also got the garlic bread, which was fire. If you have shitty vision, at first glance it lowkey looks like a baked potato laugh out loud. The bread was warm, squishy and yummy af. I appreciate how they include actual garlic cloves or whatever those are called, rather than just like garlic powder/flakes. I've never been served garlic bread like this, normalize that shit! My soulmate got the bruschetta trio. All three kinds were so yummy, but the eggplant was both of our favorites; it's such a unique take. I felt the prices were fair. I also appreciate how dog friendly this place is. They had water bowls + jugs of water scattered throughout the property. Love me some pasta so would definitely come back and also would be a place that I bring people to. Thanks y'all. I yearn for PATRIZIS

I went in with very low expectations (not sure why?!) The sauces were all the excellent and unique. The meatball and chicken were both great additions! The bruschetta with eggplant caponata was delicious! Their bread was so good and then you put the delicious eggplant on top - chef's kiss! The seasonal salad was farro, sweet potatoes and other interesting things with feta cheese. I didn't think I would like it because I don't like sweet things, but it was excellent. If you like spice, add the chilis for $1.50. They're great. Ironically, I didn't think the pasta was anything too different considering it was fresh pasta, but everything was very well executed.

Marfa Tomatoes Salad, Pasta
Alex W.

They make everything from scratch so it takes a bit to get the food. The Marfa tomato salad was probably the highlight - so good! Wasn't the biggest fan of the pasta type and there was no option to change it. The meatball was +$5 and had a lot of parsley in it. Tastes authentic but overall wasn't too impressed with the pasta entree.

Was craving for some pasta and stumbled upon this place and boy am I GLAD we got to try Patrizi's before leaving! Solid options to choose from but I went with the Carbonara Alexandra. Holy sh-- it was SO good. The portion size was perfect and the price was just right, not overly expensive but damn the flavor!!!! It was so good I finished it in one go lol (and I'm usually a leftovers girlie). The garlic bread was CHEF'S KISS. you gotta finish it quick while it's hot, fresh and crispy. The garlic confit on top was a perfect addition. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We came around 7pm on a Saturday so it took about 45 mins to get pasta, but you can at least grab a drink at Butterfly Bar and munch on the garlic bread! Ambiance was super cute, plenty of tables to choose from. I loved the food truck, backyard vibes. I will definitely come back when I'm in Austin again!

Stopped by Patrizis on a Friday night with a friend for dinner. Parking is brutal, be prepared to look for street parking a few blocks away. The line is super long - I waited for about half an hour to place my order. Service was so friendly and helpful - they even gave me a complimentary piece of garlic bread as it was my first time, so thoughtful! I ordered the pasta & salad combo - Patrizis salad & Patrizis red sauce. I grabbed a table in the lovely covered patio, and waited another 40 mins for my food. After all the waiting I was starving. Patrizi Salad - 10/10 delicious. Definitely try! Garlic Bread - Chefs kiss! Freshly baked, soft, and topped with fresh flavorful garlic. Patrizi Pasta with Red Sauce - 6/10. So disappointing! The pasta itself was clearly made in house and delicious + fresh but the sauce was underwhelming and way too sweet for my taste. It was a good experience but I expected more. Not sure it's worth the hype.

Stopped by on a Friday and there was a bit of a wait-about 20 mins in line and 30ish mins to get pasta after ordering. This was definitely worth the wait though! We got the Abbiocco which is meant for two but probably could serve closer to 3 and for $55 is a good deal. It comes with salad, veggie, protein, garlic bread and three half servings of pasta. My favorites were for sure the cacio e Pepe and the pomodoro. The garlic bread has some garlic confit that was a lovely touch. You can tell that the pasta is made fresh and the ingredients were also very fresh tasting. Also portion sized are very very good for the price. The seating is outdoor and there's plenty of it. It's a really cool space and staff is super friendly.

Patrizi's was recommended to me by a friend and it's safe to say that it's going to one that I'll be coming back to. The pasta is freshly made and has a bite very different from boxed pasta. We ordered the carbonara alexandra, lemon thyme pasta, and the garlic bread. The portions were very filling. If you're looking to share food, get a pasta dish and the garlic bread to share and that would be enough. The garlic bread will change your life if you're a garlic fiend like me. Whole chunks of confit garlic on buttery bread. Simply chefs kiss. Get there early at 5:30 when Patrizi opens and save yourself the headache of waiting in line or just order takeout. I went early, had an early dinner, then craved the pasta again the same night and had my leftovers. With everyone eating outside, so are the mosquitos, and there's plenty of them active. There was some mosquito repellent by the water cups, so I'd use some or wear some long sleeves before you decide to dine out.

Went here to celebrate bf's friend's dog adoption anniversary. Such important event required a special spot to celebrate. We arrived early and they had a small line, but got very busy after 6:30p Our server was really nice and quick. This time we went for the curated meal for two and oh gosh it was so much food. I really enjoyed meatballs, garlic bread, and cacio e pepe. We were barely able to finish but luckily we got some help. Anywhooooo, this is still a 5 star experience in my books.

We heard a lot of good things about Patrizi's and had a craving for some good pasta, so we figured we'd drop by. The parking situation isn't too bad as there's a lot of spaces to choose from. You enter a big courtyard that looks pretty nice and there's a ton of seating inside. There's an attached bar as well, so they recommend grabbing a drink while you wait for your food to come out. They have two different areas to sit at, all with misters if you're hot, and one side includes a stage for what is live music or shows at some point. As for the food, we won't sugarcoat it, Patrizi's is not that good. We ordered their pomodoro with a meatball and cacio e pepe with chicken. The pomodoro was not special at all, pretty standard for a pomodoro anywhere, except for the fact this sauce was just missing something and it was pretty thin. The meatball was also strange, not very firm and fell apart way too easily, plus the mix itself tasted a bit odd as there were onions in it. As for the cacio e pepe, it was alright. The pasta was relatively firm and there should have been more cream and cheese in it. The chicken was easily the best part of both dishes as it was moist and seasoned well. Look, the pasta isn't bad, but when you're paying around $20 a plate and the portions are small and they come out on paper plates with plastic utensils, you have a right to critique it. This is one of the rare times in Austin we've gone heavily against the grain and would not recommend you stop by Patrizi's. There's definitely potential but just be wary.

Patrizis Salad
Mia B.

Definitely the best semi-casual Italian I've had in Austin. I would come back for the garlic bread alone - it's a must order. The pasta tastes fresh and homemade, and the sauces are also very good. It's a great casual option for dates or hangs. It's located in the vortex, which has a bar and a stage for events. Dog-friendly too. Service was quick, although be prepared to wait in line if you go at a popular time.

Pasta
Alyssa B.

This is a really solid spot for homemade pasta. It's very casual - a trailer with outside seating and paper plates. But the food punches above the environment and is not a bad price in this day and age. Everything we got was good but my favorite was the Diavlolo with chicken and spicy honey.

Great homemade pasta. Even though the food is served in paper plates and plastic forks, they do the job. The order line can get long at times with slightly longer wait times when it's busy. Best thing to do is to sacrifice a person to the food line and run off to the confusing bathrooms then buy some drinks. The dinner for two is more like a dinner for three. We still had a lot of food left for only about $55 or something. Good way to try everything although some of my favorite pasta choices are not in the dinner for two. A lighter way to go is split a pasta and flat bread sandwich with another person. You might also find a nice lazy blank cat sleeping on a table somewhere.

Love Thy Neighbor: Patrizi's absolutely embodies that. After finding out that a dear friend's son, who had recently extinguished all efforts in battling a terminal diagnosis of high grade glioma, only food request was Patrizi's own butter noodles we knew we had to reach out asap. Lyn and the whole team not only came through but they came through BIG. The extra time, the extra servings, were just everything during such a dark time. So just wanted to return the love and say thank you again. Gestures like this give us all hope. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

See all

Ask the Community - Patrizi's

Can you bring a bottle of wine?

No, Patrizi's is not BYOB. There is a bar inside.

Are there bathrooms?

Yes. There is an indoor bar

Hi. After reading so many amazing reviews I was wondering if you can order ahead and then stay and eat at the picnic tables?

I think the only 'ordering ahead' would be via their online website. But online orders are for "takeaway" only. The hostess at the front doesn't allow those picking up online orders to dine at the picnic tables

It looks like everything in the photos is on paper plates? Is that the situation?

Yep! It's part of a wonderful vibrant area called the Vortex. You have a bar, little booths and this restaurant. They get food to your table in paper plates

Does anybody know what is going on with this place? This is the second night in a row we've tried to order from them and their website says "sold out" for everything? This is 1/6/21 - are they closed? If anyone has any insight, please share.

Yes they are open. Call early to order before they sell out.

Is it a dog friendly patio?

Yes they adore dogs!

Do they do to go orders?

Yes they do!

Do they have heater's?

Yes, they have outdoor heat lamps everywhere and a fire pit. Last night was a chilly 45 degrees and I sat between the fire pit and a heat lamp, I had no problem sitting the whole night to eat pasta and listen to the live music.

Do they have any gluten free options for persons with celiac disease?

No, on the website they say they stopped offering gf food because they have flour everywhere.

What's the "kid friendly" situation here?

It's just like hangin out in someone's backyard.

After giving our keys away we walked into what is a beautiful outside area at Juliet's. It's a nice mix of feeling like you're in downtown Austin but also not. We went inside to request two seats outside and this is unfortunately where everything fell apart. After being seated all the way at the very corner of the restaurant near the entrance, we didn't receive water for 15 minutes. In fact, we had to ask for water, as well as silverware, from a person who was cleaning a table- not a waiter. We didn't order until about 30 minutes after being seated. We noticed that others around us who were dressed nicer for the occasion were receiving service but we were not (jeans and a nice top as opposed to a dressy outfit). This is less of an accusation and more of an observation. It took another waiter noticing that we had not been served to come over and take our order, and that was 5 minutes after we had to flag down a busser to ask for water. The flip side of that whole first part is that the food was pretty good. We got complimentary table bread (after we asked for it since it never came before our main meal) that was soft and went well with the olive oil it came with. For our entrees we got the shrimp scampi and chicken parm. The shrimp scampi was fantastic and light with creamy and bold flavors in-between. The chicken parm was maybe the largest chicken cutlet we've seen given out at a restaurant. Not only was the cutlet massive but it was delicious as well with a nice, light breading and cheese on top. The spaghetti alongside it was a nice touch but this was a true chicken parm entree as it should be. We were offered a complimentary dessert as an apology for the miscues before we ate but turned it down (still good of them to offer). Leaving was easy as the valet was very attentive and quick to get our car. We wish we could say our time at Juliet's was perfect because the setting and food are very nice and a fun change of pace from the surrounding blocks. However, it's difficult to overlook the mistakes made from the jump. We noticed that another table next to us was also experiencing bad service and looked unhappy enough to leave in the middle of their meal/ We're always open to having good food again so hopefully the next time we're here things are different. Just an unfortunate bittersweet taste to what otherwise would have been a fantastic meal.

The bread itself could've been sliced a bit thinner but overall it was very well done. The chicken piccata had a bright lemon flavor that was enhanced with the capers. The chicken was accompanied by fresh pasta laden with butter and Parmesan cheese. All in all it was a satisfying experience. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Recommend recommended.

We each ordered and shared a few bites to taste. The Tuscan Hash with Braised Short rib and the short rib was cooked to perfection and blended well with the poached egg and hash. The Pollo Fritto was cooked well, however my son wasn't a fan of the sauce. He ate it anyways and said overall was good but not great because of the sauce. I ordered the Americano with prosciutto and it was too good that nothing else was left on the plate. My daughter had the Breakfast Rosa pizza, flavor was great, sauce & meats were evenly spread with 2 eggs to top it off. To finish off our brunch, we each had an espresso, tiramisu and strawberry sorbet. Dessert and coffee were great as well. We went home happy & full.

Great service, as usual. We shared an excellent Cesar Salad. We also shared the Pasta with White Clam Sauce and Lasagna for dinner. The Pasta was terrific but I was a bit surprised to find it was a bit on the spicy side. Not terribly, but enough heat to taste and it did overwhelm the flavor a bit. The Lasagna came with a link of sausage that was actually too spicy for either of us to eat. It was a huge portion and we only had a little as we're not big eaters. It too had a bit of hot spice to it, that again was more noticeable than I would have preferred. My wife had Lemon Cheesecake for dessert. It was really good and although I only had a taste, we both enjoyed it. There was more than enough Lasagna for us both to have it for dinner the next night and it was good, but I've never eaten any Italian Cuisine before (except for a Fra Diavlo dish) that was so spicy. The spicyness didn't bother my wife. The dinner was very good but to me it would have been a better if it wasn't quite as hot. As my wife, the Birthday Girl, was happy, the night was quite a success.
