Asti Trattoria in Austin’s Hyde Park neighborhood offers, casual bistro-style Italian food.  Meals start with crusty and chewy complimentary bread and the cheese and antipasto plates are popular appetizers, offering a variety of cheeses, cured meats, fruit and nuts. Many diners indulge in Asti’s gourmet pizzas and the Bianca topped with three cheeses, sage and drizzled in truffle oil is a customer favorite. Homemade sausage is featured throughout their pasta dishes, like the orecchiette with broccoli rabe. Traditional main dishes round out the entree selection, try the braised lamb shank with polenta. Customers note the portions are deceptive; they look small but will definitely satisfy. Don’t overlook dessert, diners love the sweet finish of beignets with vanilla bean gelato. Asti’s extensive wine list has many by the glass and half bottle selections, including dessert wine and aperitifs. The decor mixes contemporary updates with a 50s diner vibe; red enameled tables and a counter facing the open kitchen create a fun trendy atmosphere for a casual meal.
