Asti
Asti is one of the best midpriced neighborhood cafes in Austin. Going on 13 years, somehow this place never gets old. Owner Emmett Fox greets you at the door with a breadstick and a smile, catching up on the latest news. Food is consistently delightful, whether it is grilled octopus, a thin-crust pizza, or their ever-popular chocolate cannoli. – Rachel Feit
