    Visited for our 10th anniversary and had a magical night!! Jeremy, Shawn (sp?), and Juan were so kind and welcoming, and they made the evening truly special. Food was exceptional - don’t miss the red corn panisse! And their Rosa de Lambrusco was one of the best sparkling wines we’ve ever had. For the food and the experience, the price was much lower than expected. Thank you for making our anniversary one to remember!

    Thank you, Gloria. After Memorial Day, we're introducing Reverse Happy Hour (8:30-close) Both Happy Hours will be 25% off pasta and 50% off spritzes. Not a bad deal! See you again soon, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    Service was a little spotty—waiting for hostess for several minutes to only seat ourselves. Out of one of the meats and did not inform until we went to order:(
    L'Oca d'OroResponded 7 days ago
    Kathy, I'm sorry we didn't greet you the way we'd like to. Sounds like you must have enjoyed everything once you were served but we would always like to make a better first impression. We appreciate the feedback and will never stop working on this. Take care, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    L’Oca D’oro has fabulous food and a great atmosphere! We went for happy hour and they have a sweet happy hour deal. Everything was delicious and the service was super friendly and inviting. We ordered pastas and spritzes, and we loved it all. The drinks were refreshing and unique, as the liqueur is made in house (as is the pasta). The ambiance was lovely and we will definitely be back!

    Grace, That's great to hear. Thanks for coming in and taking the time to review. Good news - we'll be adding Reverse Happy Hour (8:30-close) after Memorial Day. Both Happy Hours will be 25% off pasta and 50% off spritzes! See you again soon, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

Please always let us know in the moment about anything that's not up to par for food or service so we can try and take care of it while you're in the restaurant.

    Food was good. Place is very expensive for amount of food we got. “Lasagna for 2” easily could be for one person.
    L'Oca d'OroResponded 7 days ago
    Robert, I'm glad you enjoyed and appreciate the solid review. I have seen a couple of single people eat that lasagna - there's a lot of hand rolled layers there - but it's a rarity. Next time, we'll know where to point you on the menu or see you at Happy Hour or, over the summer, for Reverse Happy Hour (4-6 or 8:30-close) and 25% off pasta. See you then, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    Best Italian I have had in Austin in the last 20 years. No wonder so many people rave about it.

    Thoughtful service from the hostess (taking extra care with allergy safety) and from Edgar, with excellent recommendations for items to share. Mozzarella with chard went great with the Foccacia. Mafaldine and Cavatelle were spectacular. Love the pistachio pesto.

    Martin, So glad you enjoyed and thanks for taking the time to review. Look forward to having you in again soon to see what new pastas are on the menu and we'll be introducing are evening Happy Hour (8:30-close) for the summer. Great time for a later night snack! Take care, Adam Orman, Co-Owner
