Vespaio

1610 S. Congress, 441-6100 Tue-Sat, 5:30-10:30pm; Sun, 5:30-10pm

Vespaio is the latest innovative Italian effort from local chef Alan Lazarus. In its short history, the South Austin eatery has garnered considerable attention for creative and well-balanced Italian dishes. The menu also features a deep selection of grilled entrées, wood-oven pizzas, inventive pasta dishes, and a great barside antipasto case. The new room has also received consistently high marks for service, wine selection, and atmosphere.
