Had a magnificent dinner last night at this new restaurant in Austin, Sagra enoteca & trattoria. It's at 1610 San Antonio, just north of the Doubletree I often stay at next to the State Bar building. The menu is online, but I had this amazing arugula salad with truffle oil and I'm not sure what else, followed by the daily special, which last night was ravioli with three or four chesses and spinach. Just amazing. Had my first "Super-Tuscan" wine as well, and really liked it. Also had the tiramisu and a cappucino to wrap things up, and those were good as well - I couldn't figure out what the slightly bitter stuff at the bottom of the cup the dessert came in was until I realized it was espresso - making this the first tiramisu I've ever had where you actually noticed the espresso (and I don't mean that in a bad way - it set off the rich of the creamy topping).
I highly, highly recommend this place! I can't wait to get another free night in Austin to go back.
I almost forgot - their cards have a little Italian translation on the back that's helpful for ordering in Italian. I'm not sure how helpful the translation for "Do you have Shiner Beer" will be, though. (Seriously, it's on there).
