    The whole staff was so kind and thoughtful. I asked for a special add-on to celebrate my partner and they worked so hard to make it happen. Thank you L’Oca d’Oro!!

    We had the family style meal on Sunday. The food was wonderful but the experience of being seated with strangers was tremendous. By the end of the night we were sharing our mothers and family meals we remembered. It was really a pretty magical experience. Felt like we had been invited to dinner with the chef’s family. Definitely something we will do.

    Every dish we had was absolutely delicious. We shared everything which was so fun because we got to try different things. The focaccia bread with honey butter, meatballs, buffalo mozzarella were to die for. Definitely get the tiramisu, it’s worth it!

    I love L’Oca D’Oro. But our experience last night was very disappointing. I’ll assume this was an off night, but I’ll wait to go back until it’s warm enough to sit outside where it’s quieter.
    L'Oca d'OroResponded on February 20, 2025
    Merrell, I'm sorry that you weren't wild about our special Valentine's menu and appreciate you letting us know about some of the things that we could have done better. It is fun for us to experiment but it does mean that we have less flexibility to bring you other dishes if there's something you don't like. I hope to see you again for our regular menu and that we are the L'Oca d'Oro that you've come to know and love. Take care, Adam Orman , Co-Owner

    Exceptional food and service. Tasting menu was awesome. The pasta and meatball and fresh mozzarella were exceptional. The tortellini was also amazing. Our service was perfect. Will return.

    I booked this restaurant for Valentine’s Day and did so on the merits of it appearing on lists of best pasta in Austin and most romantic restaurants in Austin. Truthfully, I prefer to pass on negative reviews, however, given that my experience was so poor on such an important holiday I feel the need to give feedback. Three days prior to my visit I was called solely to be asked for my credit card information. When I asked for an online pathway to doing this, not wanting to divulge my card information during a phone call in public, I was told that was not possible. They said they would need to call later, something they would never do which caused confusion for me as to whether my reservation, made two weeks prior, would be honored. When I arrived with my lovely date, whom I still had an excellent time with, it was to a crowded entryway where we were told that they were “running behind” and our reservation time was unlikely to be honored. We were given a rushed apology and nothing to supplement the wait. This wait would last nearly an hour and while we sought respite at the bar we were told by a bartender that we should revisit to get a better experience on a night that isn’t so busy. When we finally sat, the theme of rushed service was made a standard as we neither had the preset menu, wine list or cocktail selection explained to us. In regards to the menu it left much to be desired and included confusing juxtapositions like Indian samosas and Italian pasta. Plating was drab and the atmosphere was soured by diners pensively waiting to be sat for what they hoped would be a romantic dinner. I want to make it clear that the food industry is grueling and each and every worker deserves respect. However, if you are going to demand nearly $300 for a meal, something that is very reasonable in the right setting, you simply cannot offer such a disappointing experience. It became clear that the restaurant was over booked and failed miserably on such an important occasion.
