Austin’s no longer lacking Italian options, but before last year’s flood of tagliatelle, Olive & June built a rep as a reliably great place to enjoy classics like cacio e pepe as well as creative interpretations like saffron-ricotta ravioli. There’s just enough upscale decor to make a plate of spaghetti feel elegant, with a wine cellar to match.
