Exactly what we?ve been waiting for! An innovative menu, appropriately stocked bar and reasonably priced delights in an atmosphere fit for the most discriminating Austinite. Primizie Osteria fills the void for authentic yet modern Italian food in a casual setting most deliciously. The uniqueness and freshness of the ingredients is reason enough to come try it out, however, the attention to detail for less cost than other high quality Italian spots is a reason to keep coming back ? regularly. On our visit we ordered the brushcetta where we were blown away by the inventiveness of the red and golden beets on top of goat-cheese smothered crostinis. We also ordered the arugula salad ? finally a salad that will truly fill a person up! The addition of butternut squash really makes it something special. Lastly, our order of ravioli was fresh, satisfying, and just the right olive flavor without being too overbearing or rich. The melted goat cheese filling left us wanting more? so we got dessert. Both desserts, the lemon cheesecake and the chocolate torte, were handmade. And one of the best parts for this young couple is that we didn?t have to break the bank! The counter service and stylish environment is perfect for a weekend evening out or a weekday lunch with co-workers. The local beers on tap and the wine list at a beautifully constructed bar also makes for a great happy hour or after dinner drink location. As you can tell, I?m very excited about this restaurant.
