Entrees were perfect! Rigatoni and Fettuccine Nere. Apps could use some work. They were alright. Crab fingers and beef carpaccio. Dessert was lackluster as well, vita gelato. All in all though I say it was great. Can’t stop thinking about the pasta tbh.

The pizza, pasta, salad, and service are excellent. You can't go wrong here. If you're used to Texas-sized portions, where you can eat a full meal, or two, the next day with leftovers, this is not that; however, the portions are more than sufficient. A to-go box was needed because I wanted to make sure I had room for dessert, which was excellent as well. I would also trust your server's suggestions if it's your first time; they have never steered me wrong. The popular dishes, the pig pizza and the bolognese dish, do live up to the hype. There is nothing on the menu I would not recommend, and the vegetables are just as deliciously prepared as the meats. Enjoy!

We chose Juliet this time because of their participation in Austin Restaurant Weeks, wherein they donate a portion of each pair fixe meal to the Central Texas Food Bank. The menu was well thought out. We really enjoyed our appetizers (bruschetta & Caesar salad) and entrees (chicken piccata and spicy rigatoni), and the gelato to end the meal was great!

    I can not recommend the restaurant enough. The food is amazing, the staff is superb and a great vibe. We were able to put together a dinner for 25 in the salon in one week and it looked like it was meticulously planned for months. Elle and are staff made our group's dinner the most enjoyable evening. They hand picked the menu and was a crowd pleaser. I love this spot so much. This was my second large group dinner & it surpassed everyone's expectations.
