    This is a complete outstanding restaurant! The food is excellent, the menu is varied, you have lots of appetizing choices and the service is attentive and courteous, the ambiance is cozy, modern and makes you feel comfortable. I have visited many restaurants in Austin and I think this is one of the best restaurants the city has to offer. I recommend it highly.

    The food was delicious, and the service was perfect. Everything we ordered came out quickly. There was a live piano player which added an elegance to the ambiance. The decor is very well done, and the place is possibly the cleanest restaurant I've ever eaten at. The open kitchen concept is very well laid out. Overall, a great restaurant and I'll be back.

    We love this restaurant. The food and service are top notch. Another huge plus for me is that it is possible to actually a conversation. Too many restaurants have bad acoustics and blaring music. We had live music last night and it was lovely.

    I generally don’t like complaining, but feel like feedback is necessary. I reserved this restaurant based on the menu posted on OpenTable, when we got there that section was closed and we dined next door at the pizzeria part of the restaurant. The food was not what I expected and the person who served was somewhat rude like he was annoyed. When my dad asked for balsamic vinegar, the guy said in a jokingly manner: “if you want to mess up your pizza go ahead”. I really didn’t appreciate his comment.

    The food is a bit pricey, but we did enjoy everything we ate. The host, who I believe may be the owner, was quite rude to two of the guests in our party. It was so off putting I doubt we’ll ever go back.

    "It's Italian Cucina" offers a menu full of all your desired dishes. The ambiance is cozy and perfect for a date or to dine with friends -- it has a nice "local" feel. The wait staff is knowledgeable and attentive. The wine list is varied and the cocktails are well crafted. For dessert, try the Limoncello Mascarpone.
