Sit down. We'll take it from here.
Chef Gianba cooks the Ligurian coast in Austin: house-made pasta, fresh seafood, and a menu that moves with the season. The cliffs stay in Italy. Dinner is on Burnet Road.

Gianba cooks. Marlo has the room.
Gianbattista “Gianba” Vinzoni is the chef-owner. Marlo Vinzoni, his wife and co-owner, is the welcome. Both are in the building. He is on the pasta and the seafood. She is on the hospitality, including the regulars known by name.
The cooking comes from Bonassola, on the Cinque Terre coast in Liguria, where his family has lived for generations. Austin gets that tradition and a seasonal menu. It does not get a postcard of the cliffs.
A table worth celebrating
A birthday, a family dinner, or a company that would rather eat than stand under a chandelier. Private dining is still this kitchen. Menus are planned for the occasion.

From people who ate here
Three notes from Google, left as they were written.
Three of us ordered four pastas, and every single one was delicious. The flavors were authentic and the portions were generous, so we left completely satisfied. One bite and it felt like being back in Italy. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food came out promptly. We sat outside, and the atmosphere was relaxed and lovely, perfect for a get-together with friends.
I liked sitting on the patio to enjoy the beautiful weather. We had the tagliatelle, the stuffed zucchini blossom special, and the duck. It was all delicious! And warm and comforting bread pudding.
Each time I've been the food is something to write home about. The wine selection is superior. And the cocktails are delightful. I highly recommend if you want fresh Housemade pasta. It is great for a date night a business dinner or a girls night out.
