To start, Trattoria Lisina is the epitome of a nice restaurant experience. Perfect for a date night or just a nice dinner (you’ll want to make reservations). The service is absolutely amazing, fresh plates after every dish, knowledgeable staff as well as a prompt kitchen. Vibe and atmosphere are amazing and it is so gorgeous outside, with its own grand entrance off the road and all! Only thing I would change to be picky is even dimmer lighting than they already have and I love booth seating personally and its all tables here but this place is so good I canceled a reservation I had 2 nights later to come back here again before I left Austin area. Now the food! First, they do an amazing job of salting everything properly (even the chocolate cake), bringing out the amazing flavors of everything. Everything is fresh, hot and tastes incredible. Things I recommend the most is the Meatballs, Lasagna and the Chocolate cake (pro tip get a side of Nutella sauce with it). All 3 of those I give above a 9.1/10. Not to mention, the pricing here is way better than other nice italian restaurants! This is my favorite Italian restaurant now, Overall I give it a 9.5/10 which is tied for my highest rating ever and I am so glad I discovered it! This is a MUST!

I had a great experience! Even though we didn’t make a reservation and had to wait for a table, it was totally worth it. The atmosphere is amazing and very welcoming. While we waited, I enjoyed a few glasses of wine, which made the time fly by.
The service was excellent, and the portions are very generous, definitely worth the price. I only had time to take a picture of the affogato, which was absolutely delicious!
Without a doubt, I’ll be back to try other dishes. Great value for money!

My 1st impression of the location is that the place is stunning. I love the outside garden seating, the lights, and overall landscape.
We called in a reservation an hour prior to our arrival. When we arrived, we checked in with the host who asked us to wait for a moment. Stepped aside and waited about a total of 2 minutes before being seated.
Was greeted immediately by Emmett and asked if it was our 1st time and if we were celebrating anything special. He was very helpful in recommending dishes and brought our drinks out quickly.
Since it was our 1st time, we had to try the pasta. It was perfectly al dented and great bold flavors. I got the vodka sauce and added a meatball. Would have loved to have italian sausage links served with it but it wasn’t an option. My husband loved his Fettuccine with grilled chicken.
I was pleasantly surprised they did not have any Italian sodas. Emmett was very attentive early on but then I do think the service slowed a bit once the restaurants peak time hit. Seemed a lot longer waiting to ask for a few things.
We did order dessert, and as much as I am a HUGE fan of Tirimisu…. the one here was not my favorite. Tirimisu is usually a light decadent dessert, but the one here was very rich and overly sweet. Emmett immediately offered to trade out the dessert for something else once he found out. Since I grew up on Sfinci, well it was my next choice (there weren’t many options for dessert). They arrived severely coated in cinnamon and sugar. Again way too sweet, but I couldn’t bare to say something again so I just asked him to pack them to go. The donuts come out extremely hot and soft and pillowy on the inside. They do come with a side of Nutella and pastry cream but sadly he did not pack those to go with them 🙁 He also packed our bread but we had to ask twice for the dipping sauce.
Overall, I really enjoyed the place and will definitely come back for the food. The desserts will have to get somewhere else 🙁

We have eaten at this restaurant for years, particularly because of the great dining experience we receive each and every time. Tonight was no different, and maybe even more special! We invited a friend of ours to try out this restaurant because she had never been to it before. We described it as a Tuscan Style environment – a restaurant surrounded by trees and grapevines – feels like Italy for sure. Our dining experience began with a glass of wine and some calamari. We followed that with Veal Scallopini (Marsala style), Seafood Linguini, and Gnocchi Gratinati. Our server brought out the dishes and came back about 5 min later to check on us. Well, unfortunately, my Veal was a bit overcooked, but I was not going to fuss. but my server (I forgot her name!) was very insistent that I send it back because their dining experience needed to meet a high expectation. So I did. Well, the manager came over to further apologize for the issue and delivered a brand new Veal Scallopini to me! What a treat and certainly unexpected. Well, he wasn’t done. As a show of his appreciation of our dining there, he also gave us complimentary sorbet to complete our dinner. Yes, this is the highest level of customer service I have seen in a while and yes, we will continue to dine here. Their entire menu is delicious (we have tried many dishes), so if you are in Driftwood, Texas, give this restaurant a try. You won’t be disappointed.

We celebrated our 30th anniversary today at Trattoria Lisina, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the food was absolutely amazing. Our waiter, Rafael, went above and beyond, he was kind, attentive, and made our evening truly special. His thoughtful service turned a great meal into a wonderful memory. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate such an important day!

Delicious food and such great service! Our server Kaleigh was so sweet and super knowledgeable on everything on the menu. She deserves a raise because her service was truly phenomenal!!! We were all laughing and having such a great time. The food was super flavorful and truly a treat. Very happy we spent our anniversary here. There was a small issue with one of our dishes and they were so quick to fix it! Truly a very special spot and we will for sure be back again!

My wife took me here for my birthday and it was *excellent*! Nathan was an amazing waiter, talking us through the best of the menu and ensuring we had the best experience. I had the pork chop (Perry’s competition-worthy) and my wife had Halibut with Lobster Linguini (deliciously amazing). Topped it off with Toasted Almond Gelato for a perfect birthday dinner. Thanks again, Nathan!

Can honestly say this is the best restaurant experience I’ve ever had. The hostess, other servers, and my server Ryan were way above my line of standards in terms of outstanding service. I had the best beet salad I’ve ever had. Even the aesthetics the music in the environment as well as the lighting and materials in the place are top-notch. I love the back-lit bar for example! I cannot recommend this place enough.

We visited Trattoria Lisina for lunch and had a pleasant experience overall. The artichoke fritters were delicious perfectly crispy and very flavorful. The funghetto pizza and Alfredo pasta were decent but could have been better. The chocolate cake dessert was good, though slightly too salty for our taste.
Our server was really great, attentive, friendly, and made the lunch much more enjoyable. The service definitely stood out.
