Trattoria Lisina

Beautiful spot not too far from Austin! We loved our food, the wine and the view! The artichoke fritters were light and not greasy. My friend's fish was the best dish on our table. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The osso busco was the next best. Very tender. While I liked my risotto, it was not my favorite. If you have the time, allow for more time to sit outside and enjoy the garden seating area.

We dined here celebrating our wedding anniversary. Everything was perfect from the fountains on the grounds, to the sunset view on the veranda, to the food. We were seated on the veranda overlooking the vineyards which was a perfect view with the backdrop of the sunset and hills in the distance. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer which was lightly dusted and perfectly seasoned with a light crunch and two dipping sauces. My husband ordered the 'chefs special' which was the (4?) cheese ravioli... oh my goodness!  We will be calling back to see when they have this and go back just for that.  It was melt-in-your mouth good!  I had the Shrimp and Lobster Linguine which was okay, but nothing in comparison to the ravioli. We had the Sea Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake for dessert which was rich, but very good!  I loved the bread which we grazed on through the entire meal.  I would definitely go back, mostly for the atmosphere and the quiet and romantic feel of being in a far away place. The quality of food was a definite plus...

The food was 'just ok' - service friendly.
