7. Vespaio

SOUTH CONGRESS AVENUE.   Austin has several very good, upscale Italian restaurants, and Vespaio is right at the top of the list. The garden out back provides a bounty of heirloom tomatoes that are showcased in dishes like a lovely salad caprese – a simple combination of fresh mozzarella, homegrown tomatoes, and just-picked basil with a drizzle of olive oil. The roasted portobello served on a toasty polenta round is a revelation, and seafood lovers should opt for saffron risotto, studded with scallops, crab, shrimp, and mascarpone. About 40 wines are available by the glass, and reservations are essential if you plan to dine any time after 6pm. Next door is the more casual wine bar and cafe, Enoteca. Reservations not accepted Friday or Saturday nights.   (© 10Best)
