Patrizi's operates from a food truck but has its own well-maintained, shaded eating area that is sooo cute and welcoming. Many are willing to queue for freshly-made scratch cooking of this quality, so lines are common. However, the owner/chef takes great pride in customer service so will regularly be out talking to the people in line, asking if they had any questions, and just chatting. Trust me, once you try Patrizi's, it will be hard to feel the same about your other Italian food sources (unless it's your own or your Mom's). Also, if you would like wine or another libation, the Butterfly Bar is pretty cool as well.

I ordered a bowl of their seafood bisque soup and a Caesar salad with chicken. The portions were just huge and I had to take 75% of the salad home. We've told all our friends about this place and we're hoping to return soon with a group and share the love.

Food wise, the marinated burrata was good, but I might try their other shareables if I go again. Their Caesar salad was phenomenal , I especially loved the crispy Parmesan bits on top.

It's why I battle my "chaunky" every day!…read more One of my crew in Austin reaches out to me for my recommendations for top spots for his anniversary. Mission accepted I tell him. I do my homework across my google map tracker cross referenced to yelp as well as my insights based on his affinities and price point. I send him a unique set of spots any hopeless romantic's partner was sure to love. He goes off script & selects Intero ( IG: @interorestaurant ). I had never been there so I made it my mission to get there first for data. I promised him, all I would send is a "fuck yeah" or "nah!" My solo feast included the sourdough focaccia ( house made ricotta, wildflower honey, thyme ), charred cabbage ( hot mustard, parm, chive oil ), steelhead trout tartare ( tomato, caper, leek aioli, carta di musica ), rigatoni ( smoked rabbit, mushroom, red wine, horseradish cream ), 14oz wagyu beef tenderloin ( grilled romanesco, spring onion, walnut, chili ) , and finally one of each of their in house made artisan truffles. Why not! Everything here was truly exceptional, full flavored, hyper local, I ate too much. The charred cabbage was the best I've ever had taking the reins from Din Tai Fung's sautéed cabbage in Vegas. Romanesco is one of my favorite veggies, perfectly paired with the flawlessly cooked temp of the tastiest cows I've ever eaten. After all of this meeting the creator and chocolatier of the truffles and chocolate bricks was icing on the cake. I expressed my gratitude, and just how much I loved the spot. All of the staff laughed when I said my buddy was coming in days later behind me. I showed them the "Fuck Yeah!" text message. I love Austin. There's never a dull moment, and I can't wait to be back, cowboy boots and hat in hand for the 2026 Rails World Conference. Tickets drop tomorrow at 10am CST. It's why I HAVE to workout every day!

Wow, this was amazingly bad…read more This was the smallest and thinnest piece of salmon I've ever had. It was $14 extra just for that sad piece of "fish". It was also extremely dry even though I ordered it medium. It tasted like a frozen fish stick. I think the whole thing was fried? Abomination. The salad was also bland. The cheese (of the 3 pieces they put) tasted like cardboard. You can't even see the cheese in the photo. Sad tiny pieces of avocado. They ran out of the seasonal vegetables I originally ordered. I have no idea what happened here. Our main server was nice. The ambiance had a corporately chain restaurant vibe. Someone else had half of their pizza and left the rest. Guess that wasn't good either. $43 after tip and tax just for this "salad" and a lemonade. And $16 for valet after tip and tax. This is definitely a "never again" in my book.

First of all, I've been on a crazed search for the best pizza in the Austin metro area. Of the 20…read moreor so top spots I've tried, this took the crown of best pizza in Austin. We tried 3 pizzas to cover our bases. First off, the Tomato Pie with Pepperoni. Amazing. It had the perfect level of acidity to cut through the savory and meaty pepperoni. Perfect levels of seasoning and actual depth/flavor to the sauce. Second, the Vodka Pie was probably the best cheese pizza adjacent pie I've had in town. Complexity and rich cheesy flavor with amazing seasoning to make a perfectly cohesive pie. Third, the innovative and wonderfully creamy, buttery, savory Mashed Potato Pie. A novel blend of textures and flavors without being overbearing. To top it all off, the service was amazing too. The cashier/server with the pretty, colorful hair was very nice and accomodating. They brought out the pizzas for us and brought all the accoutrements we would need promptly. This plaza is one of our favorites with other awesome spots like Uroko/Tonari. It is, however, a shared space with clientele of other stores and such. That being said, the open space and seating was actually very nice. Please give Small's a try and tell them Tiger sent you!!

I tried Small's Pizza at Springdale General this weekend and ended up having a really nice…read moreexperience. They serve New Haven style pizza, which is extremely thin crust. Think almost cracker-like as opposed to crispy outside/chewy inside like a New York pizza. The tomato sauce had a slightly tangy flavor that worked well with the thin crust. We ordered a half cheese, half vodka pie. The vodka side is the one with the pepper on it in the picture. Both were really good and kid approved, which is always the real test ;) You order at the counter, and they take your phone number and text you when your food is ready. We ended up wandering around Springdale General and checking out a few of the little shops while we waited. It was about a 30 minute wait on a Saturday around 6 pm. When we came back to the shared seating area they actually brought the pizza and salad directly to our table even though we didn't have a table number or anything. I'm not sure if that's standard or if they just recognized us from ordering, but it was a really thoughtful touch. You're eating off paper plates with plastic utensils, so very casual experience. It feels like the kind of place where you could grab takeout or bring kids. We also ordered the Little Gem salad. It was a good size and easily split between two adults and two kids. I was also impressed with the beer and wine selection. I didn't notice any NA beer in the display case, although the menu mentioned Athletic Lite. The dining setup at Springdale General is shared with a few other places including a sushi place, The Front Page bar, and Medici Coffee. The space was pretty packed when we went. Both trash stations were completely overflowing. It was honestly a balancing act to get our plates in there. Since it's a shared dining area I don't think that falls directly on Smalls, but whoever manages the space probably needs to keep a closer eye on it. Also, for a casual place, they didn't offer self-serve soda. They give you plastic cups and you can refill water at a water fountain down the hall by the bathrooms. I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars. New Haven style pizza is extremely thin and crisp, and the crust almost eats like a cracker. Personally I still lean toward a New York or New Jersey style with more chew, but I tried to rate this based on the experience and the quality of what they're aiming to do, not my personal preference of New York over New Haven. Austin already has a lot of great pizza, so I'm not sure how often I'd go back, but I'm glad a place is bringing New Haven style into the mix.
