4 1/2 stars. Ordered a Caesar salad, spaghetti and meatballs, and Tiramisu. The fresh rolls were to die for. Salad was fresh. Tiramisu was delicious. The spaghetti and meatballs were good but needed more flavor. Meatballs were bland. Service was excellent!

Excellent food! Had the Bruschetta and Canelloni. Highly recommend stopping here if you are in the area. Restaurant has multiple "Best of" plaques hanging on their wall. I want to go back and try their steaks...

This place is a hidden gem. We stop by on the way to our deer lease and always comment about how this quality of food in Austin would easily be $75+ a person. I’ve had the parm crusted steak twice now and both times were perfect. One of my favorite places to eat in the Hill Country.

What a gem! We stopped by on our way to Enchanted Rock State Park. Loved the rustic feeling of the interior. Food was incredible. Even my kids loved every bite. The garden salad is a bit basic though. Overall, I loved it. I wish I lived closer and could visit more often.
