Fresh, whole wheat pasta. Wines from around the world. Crispy, thin-crust pizzas. These are the elements that converge to make Cantine Italian Cafe and Bar a buzzed-about new restaurant in Austin, and it's a mere 60-second trip from Lamar Union. It just debuted in the space where Fino restaurant once dished out Spanish tapas, and it's taken a new approach to cuisine. Now instead of Spanish fare, the eatery at 1100 South Lamar crafts Italian and Mediterranean cuisine.
Reserve a table online to sample some of the freshly made pasta or golden-brown pizzas on the menu at Cantine Italian Cafe and Bar. If you opt for the pizza, order the Verde with spinach, zucchini, and ample amounts of cheese. Other more decadent meal options range from bone-in lamb over a bed of asparagus to seafood dishes. Don't forget to order a cocktail or glass of wine as well, since Cantine's list of libations is as impressive as the creative Italian cuisine.
