Editorial Review for Enoteca – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
With mellow ochre walls, small tables covered with Provencal linens and a deli case beckoning with exotic antipasti, cheeses and house-made charcuterie, the casual Enoteca Vespaio feels like a sophisticated European cafe. Duck ballantine, a course paté made in-house, pairs nicely with crusty bread and cornichons. Pappardelle are also made in-house and hand-cut, and a Bolognese sauce of ground veal, pork and beef in tomato sauce complements the rustic noodles perfectly.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

The cafe offers a nice selection of wines, with varietals hailing from Venice, Sicily, Piedmont and Abruzzi in Italy; and Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the Loire Valley in France.

The Extras

In addition to the cheese, sausages and antipasti, check out the shop's imported olive oil, vinegar, pasta, olives, anchovies, and polenta.

When to Go

There is a separate menu for Sunday brunch, featuring crespelle (Italian crepes), brioche French toast and eggs Florentine.

Vespaio is as close to a perfect restaurant as it comes. The food is spectacular, the best you will have in Texas. It is very affordable. The atmosphere is great, as well as the service. The only drawback is that the dining room is a little small, and can be a little noisy.

Pros: Food, service, price

Cons: None

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I love love love Enoteca. It should be noted that the phone number is 441-7672. The suppli is wonderful & the specials are always amazing. Service is top notch too! It's a great place to go for coffee in the morning, then a casual lunch & then back again for a romantic dinner. Brunch is awesome too! You can eat there every day & have something different.
