Trattoria Lisina Italian Restaurant in Driftwood, Texas

Driftwood is a fantastic little town on the edge of south Austin.

Nestled amongst the Austin hill country, out in the middle of what seems like nowhere is the wonderful Trattoria Lisina Italian Restaurant. Tattoria means an informal, family owned restaurant as is common in Italy. Lisina is named for his wife Lisa, who is an intragral part of his business.

First you see the vineyards and then the imposing two story height limestone building. The food, service and atmosphere are all spectacular. The Mandola Estate Winery is out in front do you see the vineyard as you drive up. The restaurant features authentic, country Italian fare and wines from the winery. Damian Mandola, a restaurateur since 1975, is the mastermind of the Trattoria Lisina Italian Restaurant as well as the Mandola Estate Winery and Mandola's Italian Market at the Triangle on Guadalupe in central Austin, Texas.

Some of you may be familiar with Damina Mandola from his populr restaurant Carabas. He also did a cooking show with his nephew that was quite popular amongs syndicates. Trattoria Lisina and Mandola Estate Winery are available for weddings, large planned dinners and corporate events. They usually have life music in the vineyard area, you can enjoy a bottle of wine from their vineyard while you and your party wait for your table. They also have guest cottages on the premises. I’ve been there and I can say I love it!!!

Trattoria Lisina is located at 13308 FM 150 W : Driftwood, TX 78619: www.trattorialisina.com
