Friendly and prompt service. Food is priced on the higher end but it is worth it. The carbonara was perfect. I haven’t had been looking for good carbonara and was happy I found a place.The house made noodles was perfect. Overall great atmosphere and great food. The focaccia was airy and fresh. Everything we had was really good.

We’ve been eating here for years! Honestly when the original owner sold the restaurant I wondered if things might change. Gladly, everything is just as wonderful! Jennifer was our server recently, and her professionalism, wit and charm added so much to our evening. The atmosphere is always so welcoming, but great service and ambiance can only go so far if the meal is average. Alas, our meal was outstanding. We started with the mussels, then we both ordered seafood entrees. Everything was stellar! Jennifer offered two samples of white wine to pair with our meal, which was a lovely gesture, as well as the complimentary biscotti after our meal. We had no room for dessert. Asti is an Austin institution. I’ve lived here since 1981. Cheers to many, many more years of success!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. To start the wait staff is very inviting and polite. The food was amazing. My 2 year old is a picky eater, and he loved all the food. Even the area is super inviting. I definitely put my stamp of approval.

Customer service is really good, and the outside seating is really nice. I would say the dishes I had were a bit better than average. The spaghetti carbonara was very nice, home made noodles, sauce was very light with bacon, all it was missing was an egg, that would make the dish a killer. The chicken parm was good, breaded nicely and they use fresh chicken breasts. The angel hair like tomato pasta was even more plain than the carbonara, just tart, the sauce could use either some butter or olive oil to give it some flavor. Prices are a bit high for me, would i come here again? I would, but I would not go out if my way. Give it a try if you are in the area.

ASTI is one of Austin’s amazing restaurants. The service and food are all great. We were seated at the outside patio with a heater. Very cozy and romantic This is our go to weekend date night spot!

Its hard for me to give negative reviews but honestly this restaurant need to improve. I order a Margherita pizza with my sister and that is what we got (look at the picture). Also the focaccia bread they serve with olive oil was mushy and soft. Focaccia supposed to be crunchy.

Can’t believe I waited so long to try and reluctant to post about this hidden gem! I was able to reserve a table seamlessly at the last minute, and the dining experience from start to finish was exceptional. Except for the novel Old Italia music permeating the patio. I reccommend the seasonal offerings, but the standard menu provides many stalwart options for meat and veg alike. We really enjoyed the perfectly balance and textured greenbean sala, and the pasta and beet ravioli were perfection.

Asti Trattoria, I’ve been here before and it’s a solid neighborhood spot. They’ve been here for a minute and it’s worth a try. Tonight was a special night which I’ll talk about a little bit more later after we talk about the food. 1st our servers name was Mitch, he was fantastic. He was all over the place, had many tables but he’d kept good tabs on us, and took care of us make. He made great recommendations, we really enjoyed his company. We started with the fired artichokes and they are very lightly fried and were good, the lemon aoli it came with was amazing. Our salad was decent, but the entrees overall were a hit and a miss. My Love and I ordered the special, which was this giant meatball served over polenta and red sauce,pomodoro. The meatball honestly was not good, I’m a little bit of a meatball fanatic and I love good meatballs and this one honestly was chewy and not well executed but the polenta was fantastic. J had the lasagna and it was good, not great and B ordered the lamb Ragu, she loved how much lamb was on the pasta both were good no complaints. This was a special night, as it was the 1st time I got to meet my love’s mom, B. It was fun we got to talk and tell funny stories it was really great to part of this moment. Thank you my love, for inviting me into your world. You are my sun and I your moon!

Moderately tasty, and significantly overpriced Italian fare. $32 for lasagna? Veramente!?! Our server was polite and courteous, but the pasta took over 45 minutes to arrive after we ordered it and half an hour after our salad – pacing was significantly off, to say the least. And then we had to wait an additional 10 mins for said overpriced lasagna. My son told the server that he did not eat pork, and his pasta was covered in, you guessed it, pork. House red wine was late, and it should have never come since I’ve candidly had better from wine in a box. Thankfully, they were gracious enough to take the wine off the bill. When we raised our concern with the manager, we got a quizzical, blank “I do not really care” look. Outside seating in wooden, uncomfortable picnic tables is not commensurate with dishes that are $25 plus. It’s a pity since we’ve been going to Asti for many years, but no more.

My husband and I rediscovered Asti last winter. It’s become my fav low-maintenance brunch spot. The food is great and the customer has always been warm and welcoming! Highly recommend this old school Austin gem.
