Eatalia Restaurant in Sefton

We were a party of 4 and enjoyed the enclosed patio seating. Nice ambiance and the weather was awesome. The food quantity and taste was mid. We have had great Italian trattoria fare in other cities and really enjoyed it. What inspired me to write this review is the dessert. Our waitress recommended the Profiteroles. These were very very meh. The creme filling tasted greasy and slightly rancid. The chocolate was very quotidian. The ice creme tasted like it was supposed to. And on top of that for some inexplicable reason she charged us more for it.

Don’t come here if you don’t want to deal with the rude owner/manager. I was parked in the parking lot for a solid 30min with no issues. I was just trying to eat my food after a long day. The second I hop out the car to throw my garbage away (in the public trash can, NOT the businesses garbage) and the owner suddenly storms out the establishment and starts SCREAMING at me. He rudely yells at me from across the parking lot to move my car and that I can’t park here despite the entire parking lot being completely empty and me being parked there already for 30 mins. I had no clue I wasn’t allowed to park there. If you had an issue I would’ve appreciated it if you approached me like a normal person and asked me to please move my car instead of screaming at me from across the parking lot like a jerk. No wonder this place is always so empty. I was curious about this restaurant before, but now I will definitely not be spending my money here.

Great atmosphere and kind service. The food is ok. Pasta resembled boxed from a grocery store and sauces were underwhelming. All guests at dinner are…not feeling well. I would not return.

My wife and I went to try a new place. We were blown away by the food. Everything we has was amazing. Would highly recommend.

68 is one of our favorite date spots. The food is always incredible. We've had just about everything on the menu and keep going back. Lamb rigatoni, caesar salad, polenta, and fettuccini are some of our favs. Also, every wine is amazing. We've had Matt as our waiter most recently, and he is so knowledgable and fun!

great test delicious with great service thank you for amazing food

Awesome Italian restaurant at a great location. Menu was somewhat limited though. Compliments to the chef!

One of the most underrated spots in Austin - fantastic quality, cozy, and not pretentious. Experience dining here is so much better than other better-known Italian places!

I’ve been here 3 times all spaced out about a year. Each time it’s just been worse. Food is just eh and service is slow. Wish I went somewhere else.

68° is a wonderful restaurant in South Austin with unique and flavorful food. The staff is attentive and engaging, offering suggestions and providing details about the food's origins. Matt was our server, and he made the evening very enjoyable. It's has a romantic ambiance without being too formal. Highly recommended!

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. I don’t even live in Texas right now, and I crave chicken parm at least once a week. The food is very well-made, the vibes are right on and the service has been so perfect every single time. You have to try this place!!!

Really good food. Service was a bit slow for a semi busy Thursday evening before 7pm. Parking sucks. Nice dining room. Patio would be great on cooler evenings but we opted for inside because it was hot. Great flourless chocolate dessert. Great polenta starter. Lamb sausage was a bit gamey but sauce and pasta with it was really good. Mushroom pasta was excellent. Wine selection was quite good, mostly Italian. For hot weather they could have a few more dry rose's by the glass.

I had the Clam special today. The Chef has a gift! It was so amazing, and my Server Donna was perfection. Thank you all for a great experience.

We love 68 Degrees, chef Marion's menu, the staff's execution, and the service! These people work hard to make customers feel like welcome guests and excel at all the dishes we've ordered. The Bolognese is classic: you won't find a better version in Austin. Lamb Ragu? Delicious. Salads and apps? Above par. The wine list offers a great selection of old and new world juice. Go eat there!

The food here is amazing. There are daily specials and that's what we went for. The turnip soup and field salad were perfectly balanced with flavor, freshness, and seasonal produce. The ravioli were vegetarian and bomb, but what really impressed me was the service. We arrived 20 minutes before closing and were enthusiastically greeted and welcomed. They let us sit outside and it was a beautiful night on their patio. The server was cheerful and not overattentive and did not rush us. One of the best experiences I've had eating out in Austin.

One of the best meals we had on this trip! Really enjoyed the setting and cozy interior. Chef made some pretty delicious entrees and dessert! Will be back again next trip to Austin!

Had a great meal at 68 degrees. The food was excellent - I had a smoked mushroom pasta that was out of this world. Our server wasn’t very good, but my friends said that was unusual. I’ll definitely go back.

2nd time here. Food is good. Service could be better.

Had a reservation for an anniversary dinner and waited almost 30 minutes after our reservation time to be seated.

I had the ravioli special and my husband had chicken parmesan. We had profiteroles and tiramisu for desert before heading to the Paramount for the Croce Plays Croce show. So so good. We had the nicest server, and I'm sorry I can't remember her name. We really really enjoyed our dinner.

Great Italian and big wine choices

First Timer. Small. Wonderful. Exceptional Service.

Great location, attentive staff, and wonderful food and wine list.

Great little place with good food and nice atmosphere. It's small so be prepared to wait and their parking lot is small so get there early if you want to park in front of the building. Waitstaff was knowledgeable and attentive and it's all and all a cite little gem that I will be coming back to. If you're wondering, they do have outdoor seating although in all this heat not sure if you want to sit out there.

Great food, great service and again, great food

Fantastic and cozy vibe inside the restaurant. Our server Ketino was extremely helpful and welcoming and really made our whole experience. The food is delicious and there’s a great wine selection. We’re definitely planning on returning soon and look forward to trying more of the dishes.

Nice restsurant, good red wine and delicious food

Reliably excellent Italian cuisine with friendly service and a classic ambience. Our favorites include the Bolognese and the fried polenta. Would love it if they made the carbonara a regular menu item, but it's also a great treat when they have it.

We showed up late to our reservation and was in a hurry because we had something else booked after. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Food came out fast and was delicious!

The service is really great. I arrived little bit early before my reservation time. I was told about specials and I asked specifically if the Ravioli is made fresh and she said yes we make all our pasta fresh. When the food areived, the portion was bit questionable. However the food quality was surely below par my expectations. Ravioli was hard and did not seem freshly made and no offense but the plate was cold.. The place has good ambiance.

Dined there evening of 03 July Staff provided excellent service and was knowledgeable about wine. I enjoyed the soup and bolognese and liked that cracked pepper was provided which I used a lot of. The fresh peaches in the cheese dessert was nice.

Love this place!!! Everything is fresh.

Had a good meal. Appetizers were outstanding, entrees were meh but not bad.

Good but not great Italian. Their old restaurant La Traviata was better. Although the ceaser salad was excellent!

This is a wonderful restaurant. The setting is beatiful, the staff are attentive and helpful, and the food is excellent. I highly recommend the rosemary polenta. Crispy fried outside, creamy smooth inside paired with a luscious gorgonzola cream sauce. This is comfort food exalted! The beet and burrata salad is fantastic! Red and gold beets roasted to bring out their earthy sweetness pair beautifully with the buttery burrata. The arugula and lemon dressing add a peppery bite to the dish, contrasting nicely with and not overshadowing the more subtle tones from the beets and cheese. Spaghetti and meatballs is well executed. Meatballs are tender and flavourful, the tomato sauce is excellent with bright, fresh basil and tender green onions accenting the dish. Portions are large, but they make lovely, little bitty puff pastries and will serve you just 1 when you're full but want to try a small bite of something sweet. Flakey, buttery pastry with rich cream and chocolate. Delish!!

Their profiteroles are amazing.

Italian dishes. Small menu. Food was ok. Service was good. Overall value was not high. Better options exist.

My wife and I had dinner here after an event nearby. I booked the reservation last minute after reading other reviews. Our meal was absolutely wonderful. The attention to detail was apparent throughout the meal. The Chicken Parmigiana was crispy and delicious. The Crispy Polenta was appetizer a great way to start off our meal. We will definitely be back again.

Cool place, nice patio and overall a good spot to sit down and have a nice Italian meal. Service was excellent. Walked in and was greeted right away by the host who promptly sat us. Our server was on point. She told us the specials and did not rush us to order. I ordered a greens salad and the spaghetti and meatballs. There was at least 6 meatballs. Great. Was kinda hoping for some bread and olive oil on the table for the prices but hey, the food was fantastic and served HOT (temperature) molto bene! Very extensive wine menu and the water was fresh tasting and refilled multiple times throughout our mean. Oh yeah no pizza! But I mean hey- the food is so good I didn’t miss it at all. The entrance to the restroom was a bit dirty, the door was a little worn and a bit cramped. However it is nice to have a restroom you can lock the door inside. The checkout process was fine. They bring the check and then come back with a mobile payment terminal. As soon as I was about to cringe bc of that, our server walked away and gave us some privacy and didn’t hover over us for the tip screen part. Thank you for doing that. Over all it was a hit. We had a great time and this is definitely on our list of good Italian spots in Austin. Will be back!

A cute, casual place for lunch. The duck bread (no duck involved, I hope, since I am a pescatarian) was crispy and chewy. I could of made a meal out of it. Some of the cheeses on the cheese plate were lacking in flavor. The mixed greens salad with grilled salmon was huge. I made 2 meals out of it. It tasted better at home when I added more olive oil and white balsamic vinegar to it.

The food tastes likes it’s microwaved and the owner and operator treats her employees horribly. I would give no stars if that was an option.

It’s good, but seems overpriced. Everything seems overpriced lately, though.

Great time, good food, service was excellent. Just a little busy , even with reservations. But good times.

Great gluten free options. Was amazing to be able to get dessert with dinner again.

Very very tasty and the staff was great!!

Nice Italian restaurant... Few vegetarian options

Excellent. The Chicken Parmigiana was amazing.

Food was perfect. Our waiter knew exactly what was on the menu and did a perfect job explaining everything. My new favorite place in Austin.

Excellent Italian cuisine with a wide selection of Reds and Whites. A small number of entrees and anti pastas; specialization for sure.

Went here for dinner during Austin Restaurant Week 2022. Absolutely a wonderful experience. Atmosphere is cozy and contemporary, staff were very attentive. Crispy polenta was fabulous. Fettuccine with Portabella and Cremini mushrooms was delicious.. fettuccine perfectly cooked, mushrooms were nice and earthy, and oh the sauce :) I will definitely be back. Nice a selection of wines, too.

Service was great and sat my party early even though we were a bit early for our reservations. Great atmosphere and nice patio if it’s not too hot. Great list of wines - our server was super knowledgeable about the list and had awesome recommendations. The pasta I had was a bit bland in my opinion, could’ve used more seasoning. Otherwise great experience

The food was mostly bland. I got the trout, which was unseasoned (vegetables were also unseasoned). My family got the Classic Bolognese, Fettuccine with portabella and cremini mushrooms, linguine with shrimp, hatch green chile pork stew, and the calamari. The linguine with shrimp was good, but the others were not that tasty. Most of us could barely finish half of our plates because it was so unenjoyable. We also tried to sit in an empty area, which was fine for a while, but then a huge group was seated right next to us. We felt the staff should have told us that they were expecting a huge group so that we could have made the decision to eat outside. The ambience is nice, but we probably won't be back unless we only get wine.

Always consistent, never overbooked, reasonably priced and food is of high quality, with a simple menu. A recipe for success.

I had fettuccine with mushrooms. The sauce was watery and generally unsatisfying. Fettuccine out of a box.

Ordered caesar salad. It came almost totally dry wt no dressing. The grilled chicken was horrible low quality meat, chewy with gristle. How to walk back inside and get a refund for the chicken. Cannot recommend.

Seated 25 minutes after reservation time. Took another 15 minutes to get drinks. Salmon and chicken Parmesan over cooked — would have rather eaten at an Olive Garden.

Great atmosphere. Cozy, No wait- food was hot, fresh and delicious! Our third time and will be back soon.

Not very good. Thought it would be better. Service was good.

Will be spend Christmas Eve eating dinner via reservations. I've heard the restaurant has a wonderful menu with attention to Italiano dishes. I'll recap after a fine dinning experience?....

Friendly staff. I recommend making a reservation. The patio is small and the tables are close together. I was disappointed there was only wine and beer no whiskey/bourbon/gin or hard liquor at all. Keep that in mind if you want a drink and dont drink wine or beer. But if you snag one on the lake side you will enjoy a nice view and sunset foe dinner. Service was great and yhe food was decent. The ravioli seems like it is made fresh, as it is a bit chewy. Overall nice experience.

From where I was seated there was a great view of the kitchen. I gotta tell ya… this guy in the photo was working hard. Food was ok. Friendly staff.

Honestly… didn’t feel like any of our food had any flavor. Our Caesar salad was a wet piece of lettuce with barely any dressing on it. The bruschetta was gross. Our pasta was subpar. I make better linguini at home. Won’t be coming back :(

Awesome location in town! Good spot to grab an early dinner, a sip of wine, and hit the trail down by the river

The food was excellent & the staff were very attentive to our needs. Would definitely go again

Delicious Italian food. We were big fans of La Traviata on Congress Ave. and we had no idea that this was a sister restaurant. The ingredients are fresh, the service is excellent, and the restaurant is unassuming but inviting and the food exceeded our expectations.

Service was excellent. Our server anticipated our needs and was a delight! Food was delicious!

I truly enjoyed my dinner. I don't remember the last time I've finished my whole plate of food. My pasta was super good and the fries were well seasoned. My friend's Mac& cheese balls were good as well. And the tiramisu was exactly what I needed to end my wonderful dinner.

This was our 5th visit to 68 degrees and every experience has been great. Food and service is excellent and we look forward to dining here again soon. Our favorites have been the Chicken Parmigiana and Linguini with Shrimp.

Waited about 45 min after my reservation time. Food was not good. Wait staff and management had no idea what was going on.

Great service and great atmosphere. Most of the dishes we had were great but the pasta dishes seem to be made with standard dried pasta like what you would find in a grocery store, which was a little bit of a let down. I would expect a place like this to use homemade pasta.

Beautiful early dinner on their patio, recommend the Sour Duck bread, Caesar, and Chicken Parm

Friendly staff, pleasant relaxed patio for dining. Wine list is well curated.

Food was good. The service was OK. To be fair it was a busy night. They could use additional fans on the patio, better yet misters. We'll return, but won't eat on the patio.

There's plenty of reviews about the food. It's really good. What I want to mention is the service. The team is great. No matter who helps us out, they've got a positive attitude and willing to go the extra mile to make us happy. We have 4 kids and we all know how difficult they can be sometimes, but it didn't phase them.

This is the perfect place to drop in for a quiet meal. I dropped in for lunch before the pandemic and had a very nice time on the patio. The chicken parm was excellent and the profiteroles with Amy's ice cream were delicious. Will be back for dinner service and to try the wine menu!

Bad first impression: parking is a nightmare and there's NO HANDICAP PARKING! Only available spaces were down the hill at the park. I would have just kept going but I was meeting people there. Food was good, service okay. Too bad I won't be back.

Some of the best authentic pasta in Austin!

Very polite service and the food is delicious

Great location, simple menu, no wait time for your food. It’s a high turnover restaurant, sit-eat-go concept. Small tables are not comfortable for more than two people to enjoy their time. Literally everybody sitting on the same table you can hear what conversation going on, it’s pretty hard to communicate with your lads. If you are at indoor you can smell all the kitchen, so I do not recommend sit inside during the peak times if you want to enjoy what you eat and drink. I think the business needs someone who can run this place smoothly with organization, I contacted 5 different person for ordering and just 10-12 tables indoor. You might be get good experience during the slow times but hopefully this place will be get better.

Sweet place with great atmosphere, delicious food, attentive personal. We liked everything about it, highly recommended

Had an outstanding experience at 68 degrees kitchen as I visited Austin!!! The food here is super delicious and tasty especially the Chicken Parmesan which comes with a side of spaghetti and marinara sauce. Staff here is super friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is clean and modern looking. Highly recommend this Italian Restaurant!!! Also, I give this place 10 stars!!

I felt like the bolgenaise was bland

Linguine with shrimp was just spot on. Plump juicy shrimp, creamy, spicy and well done linguine. There really wasn’t anything to improve on. Oh and the fries. Seriously crispy.

68 degrees is a good restaurant. We went on a Friday evening at 630 pm and they were way understaffed, so service was slow. The staff was frantic. The food was good. The ravoli was ok. The spaghetti bolognese was very good. The panacotta was very good as well.

Good food, nice ambience, good selection of wines. We ordered the Fettuccine with mushrooms and Penne with spicy sausage , both were good though slightly under seasoned. Also had the Calamari appetizer which was really good. Had Tiramisu for desert which was excellent.

Nice food and good wine. The tiramisu is gently boozy. I will definitely come back.

Great atmosphere, great wine selection, friendly staff, but the food is not as flavorful as you would expect from an Italian kitchen, our dishes were very under seasoned and food was very “meh”, chicken parm was bland and the spicy lamb sausage was far from being spicy.

This is a small, local restaurant, but it’s so classy, and the food is fantastic. They have a great wine selection, and delightful dishes. Don’t miss out on the short ribs if they are available

Great place to eat outside and have a wonderful meal with a fantastic vibe. The staff were wonderful and the food was delicious, everything felt very safe for dining out during the pandemic.

Was really good - no liquor though

We have eaten at this neighborhood restaurant many times. It’s the perfect place for a nice date. Food is amazing

Quiet, upscale atmosphere. Food was fresh and tasty.

delicious food, friendly service, and an amazing neighbor. Note from Lake Austin Exxon

A wonderful place! We reserved for a group of seven and had a nice inside spot. A very intimate place with nice, soft lighting and wonderful, friendly staff. A good place to enjoy handmade pastas and great wine selection.

This place has amazing food. Amazing clean restaurant and friendly staff. Thanks much!

Amazing food loved the Ravioli and wine selection was fantastic.

The food and service here are absolutely phenomenal! It was so hard to just pick a few items because everything looked and sounded amazing! Highly recommend for your next Italian meal in Austin.

Fantastic service and amazing food! The staff is very friendly and professional.
