Reviews for Bufalina in Austin, TX
In the short while that the new location has been open, we've had the pleasure of eating here a couple of times already. The... draw here is definitely the food. Food (5 out of 5) -- the starters, pasta, and pizza here are all outstanding. Kudos to ChefGrae Nonas! Wine, cocktails, beer (4) -- the wine list here is, as expected, excellent (solid 5 stars). The other options arefine, but not at the same caliber. Although the new space is larger, it is still fairly small which likely makes it a toughchallenge for the bar. Service (mixed) -- we've had some great service, but also some really poor service. That'sunderstandable for a restaurant that reopened just a week or so ago. I expect it will get better. Atmosphere (2) -- althoughlarger than their previous space, it is still quite small. The relatively small space is also full of hard surfaces that causethe noise to at first seem fun and bustling (fun and fine for a bar), but for a meal it got to be irritatingly difficult tovisit.

Stop reading about this place and go already. Fantastic.
As a regular from the OG location, I?m happy to say, it?s even better than the original, but with the same charm and amazing... staff. Oh, and they picked up the ultimate free agent in the meantime, Chef Grae Nonas of famous pasta pop-up Le Cowboy! Raniahas built another EPIC wine list, all the delicious pizzas are back (insider tip: red pie + add sausage!), and Grae?s pastadishes (dat bolognese yo) change lives! Easiest 5star review ever. Come early (4-530) and enjoy half off pizzas and all winebottles under $100. Probably the best hh in town. Can?t wait to be a regular again. Congrats, Steven, Rania, Grae, and team! Read more
