Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chef/Owner John Carver

From the OpenTable editors: It can take months to get into Chef John Carver’s wildly popular Italian restaurant, where there’s a custom woodfired grill at the heart of the industrial space. But it’s worth the wait for fresh pasta and epic steaks, like the cappelletti “bishop’s hats” stuffed with spinach and sauced with brown butter, alongside a 50-day dry-aged porterhouse “la Fiorentina.” Don’t miss the charred veggies, like roasted vine tomatoes with creamy burrata, and wash it all down with a house negroni.

    The food was delicious, but what made jr even better was the service. From the second we walked in, we were taken care of and that goes a long way

    Our server, Zack, was fantastic! Knowledgable about the wine list and the food. Bummed we didn’t get to try the mixed grill special but really enjoyed everything we had!

    Food was mouthwatering! Portions are sizable so we shared several items including the roasted tomatoes & burratta, chopped salad, pasta of the day & tiramisu. Everything was SO good. Can’t wait to go back 🤩

    Red Ash never disappoints. Best garlic bread ever. Ossobucco is incredible. Usually chocolate cakes are too rich but there's is probably the best thing I've ever tasted.

    Sat at the bar as a solo dinner. The barstaff was incredibly informative and made fantastic recommendations. The food was some of the best I've had in Austin. I highly recommend Red Ash.

    I rarely take the time to write reviews but this one really deserves it. We hail from San Francisco so we weren't expecting much from an Italian restaurant in Austin. We were blown away. We ordered the snapper and special pasta (chicken filled ravioli.) The snapper was cooked on their plancha and retained it's moistness. The pasta is on the top five list of pastas I have ever had in my life. I think they must have used smoked chicken from their wood burning grill. We weren't in the mood for beef, but wish we were as everything that was coming off that grill looked over the top good. We were fortunate enough to be sat at the kitchen counter (or they accidentally gave away our table for 2 and had to seat us there) so we had a front row seat to the magic that was coming out of the kitchen. This is kind of a nerdy comment, but the expediter gets an A+. They had a very large party upstairs (like 8 family style dishes at a time) and some how he was able to get all the other food out in a timely manner.
