Do you have a favorite Italian food?
While carbs in any form, especially a heaping plate of pasta, are never a bad idea, Italian restaurants offer so much more.
Think Margherita pizza with fresh basil and risotto, flavorful lasagna and ravioli, or savory chicken parmigiana. Antipasto appetizer platters with cured meats are also a big hit, and you can't forget about tiramisu and cannolis for a sweet finish to an impeccable Italian dining experience.
While there are a handful of restaurants scattered across Texas that craft delicious Italian cuisine, only one serves these dishes best!
According to a list compiled by Foodie Haven, the best Italian restaurant in Texas is L’Oca d’Oro in Austin. This restaurant was praised for its radiatori with pork ragu and agnolotti filled with local squash.
Here's what Foodie Haven had to say about the restaurant that serves the best Italian food in the entire state:
"Bright interiors and bold flavors make L’Oca d’Oro a standout in the Mueller neighborhood. Handmade pasta like radiatori with pork ragu and agnolotti filled with local squash reflect the kitchen’s commitment to regional sourcing. The open layout lets diners watch the process unfold while relaxing between courses."
