Andiamo Ristorante - Austin, Texas

This North Italian restaurant is a diamond in the rough—located in an Austin, Texas strip mall, it doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let that stop you. Inside, the atmosphere is understated elegant with a cozy feel. Locals rave about the authentic menu, concocted by Daniela Marcone, a native of Naples, Italy who bought the restaurant, which was in danger of closing several years ago. Now, it's a go-to for tip-top service and excellent Italian food at a fair price.
