Yum! Real Italian. Got the diavlo with ricotta and pancetta(bacon) taste was amazing. Would skip it swap out bacon next time. Too hard. Got the beet appetizer. Yum!!!!! Daughter got the pomodoro with a giant meatball. Red sauce omg sooo good. Meatball was so not meatball. Tender flavorful yummy but not like any ‘meatball’ I’ve experienced. Need a bigger stomach and someone to hold the baby. Yes it looked so good I was trying to eat left handed. Funky Austin space. Kids fit in just fine. A great night will go again and again and .......

My favorite place to go in Austin. The staff is even better than the food, which is saying something, because the food is incredible. Everyone I've spoken to here makes me feel like family. Big shout out to Gaby, Bianca, and Chris, who are the most wonderful, kind, generous, and helpful people/employees I know. I have never been disappointed by anything on the menu. I love to try the specials, because I know that regardless of what they are, they're going to be amazing. If I'm not feeling adventurous, the regular menu has so many tasty options. But for real, go and say hi to the incredible people who work here, enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating, and try some delicious Italian food. Needless to say, Patrizi's is always a hilight of my week.
Best Italian cuisine in Austin so far! Excellent service with very friendly staff. Long wait due to lots of fans but definitely worth the wait!
The atmosphere is amazing. You sit outside in a really cool area. The people are really kind and helpful. I got the cacio e pepe. It was amazing.
Delicious!!!!! I was so happy to be served perfectly cooked pasta!! The right amount of seasoning, ideal mouth feel, a little bite (it makes me smile just thinking about it). I had cacio e pepe and the roasted beets, both plates were fabulous. My husband had the pomodoro with a meatball (lots of great reviews about the meatballs, hubby seemed to enjoy it). Our friend had the carbonara and it took everything in me to not scarf hers down too!!!! The area is cool, though go early if there's a play, as it's hard to find a seats for the wait for drinks can take a while.

We visited this “food truck” because my son loves pasta and we were not disappointed. He rated almost everything a 10. He even mentioned his lemonade was top shelf. We had the pesto and it was amazing and had a nice kick to it. The bruschetta was a mix three different types and they were all delicious all vegetarian of course. We also had a couple of drinks that were also very good
First tried Patrizi’s like 5 years ago and loved it! Was excited to come back and enjoyed it again. Got orders to go. Loved that they had the half salad half pasta option - a perfect option. Loved the house salad, so good. Did the karah’s diavolo, it def had a good spice to it, very much enjoyed. Always a fun atmosphere there.
One of the best freshly made pasta with great flavors. My all time favorites are Bruschetta and Garlic bread. I tried Lemon flavored pasta (forgot the actual name) and it’s a plate with great flavor.
I always ask for extra sauce in my pasta, even though they charge extra money, it’s elevate the flavor to next level.
Not just food but overall the ambience and love for local food trucks never disappoints this place.
They alternate the pasta types everyday so it’s never boring for a same flavor pasta 🍝
Loved the Pomodoro sauce. I would come back just for this sauce. Meatball was a little overhyped. I saw too many TikTok’s and reviews on how this was the best meatball ever. Maybe not ever. But it’s good. Haha :D
Salad was also excellent. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Luckily I arrive right at 5pm. And service was quick. Line really picks up after 6pm so try to arrive early for quick service.
After saving Patrizi’s years ago on my list, I finally decided to try it out for a date night. We were immediately assisted with their ordering processes and explained specials. We ordered their eggplant pasta, diavolo, garlic bread and tiramisu. Food came out in waves and everything was so so delicious. The garlic bread toast was to die for and portions were heaping. The pasta had a delicious bite and flavor, packed with sauce and toppings. Everything tasted so good and unique. The tiramisu was delicious as well.
The Vortex itself is a really cute area with lots of parking, covered seating, and entertainment. It was storming so we didn’t get to enjoy the live music and drinks, but I would definitely come back to try more food and drinks.
We came unknowingly there was a market, play and live band that night so it was VERY busy the friday we went. waited about 30 minutes to order, and 30 for food. This was to no fault of the staff, as they are very popular ! (a good sign). Pasta is made in house, and so is the sauces i believe. Even with the wait, the food was to the quality i’d expected. A big portion, creamy and fresh sauce, with deliciously made homemade noodles. The dj they had also crushed it !!! (forgot to get their name). There’s a bar by it if you want drinks and lots of outside space to sit. It’s a chill area and i’d like to come back to try more of their offerings at a less busy time. I’d also recommend checking ahead and coming when it’s not as busy to skip the wait.
BEST PASTA EVER!! We didn't know what to expect before coming here. We came on a Friday night, and it was pretty busy. It has such a great atmosphere - something typical for Austin. We waited about 20 minutes in line, and then about 30 minutes for our food to be brought out to us, but it was well worth it! Try to pick a table before hopping into the ordering line. Pictured is their garlic bread and the Cacio E Pepe dish. I seriously couldn't stop thinking about how good the pasta was for the next few days! It is fresh and homemade. Highly recommend!!!
10/5, must-go. Service is excellent, pasta is perfectly cooked, tatarea are amazing, even for a restaurant, but especially a food truck!
We had:
Pecan Tarragon Fettuccine
Karah’s Diavolo
Meatballs with Patrizi’s Red Sauce
And first Bruschetta, then last Tiramisu, both which we ate before getting a picture.
Amazing, amazing food! Worth the inevitable wait you’re going to have with everything being made fresh. Absolutely great and patient customer service with them willing to answer all the questions I had. Great atmospheric here even in the triple digit heat. And the Butterfly Bar had a great menu and nice staff as well and allowed for indoor eating. also, so affordable for the experience and quality you receive! I will be back as soon as I can.
Cute pasta place in Austin. Ordered take out but immediately regretted not being able to sit and eat there. The pasta itself was good quality and the sauces were delicious. We ordered a variety so we could try everything at home.
