Vespaio - Austin, Texas

Vespaio — its name translates to "wasps' nest" in Italian, which ultimately seems fitting, given how this Austin success attracts diners in "colonies" for its high-quality, made-from-scratch, locally sourced menu. The chefs even butcher their own meats and make their own stocks, charcuterie, pastas, breads, desserts and cheese. Everything tastes fresh and delicious and comes with an excellent wine selection.
