L'Oca d'Oro

L'Oca d'Oro (The Golden Goose) is Austin's award-winning neighborhood Italian restaurant celebrating family, community, and sustainability. Affectionately named after Chef Tedesco's daughter, this bright, airy establishment in Austin's Mueller Community offers gracious and inclusive hospitality with hand-crafted Italian culinary traditions.

The restaurant takes pride in its commitment to locally sourced ingredients, with all provisions coming from select locally-grown produce and animals. This sustainable philosophy extends to their handmade pasta, cheese, salumi, bread, vinegars, and liqueurs - most of which are created in-house for a truly authentic experience.

Guests can enjoy interpretations of classic Italian dishes from Sicily with locally foraged ingredients from the Austin area. Each strand of pasta is handmade and milled from grains, showcasing the restaurant's dedication to craftsmanship. The ever-changing dinner menu features new dishes daily depending on ingredient availability, such as eggplant parm, grilled gulf shrimp, dry-aged pork, and various handcrafted pasta options.

L'Oca d'Oro also offers an impressive brunch with an extensive list of pastries, plates, and cocktails. Popular items include the Dutch Baby Pancake with strawberry compote, Pistachio Morning Bun, Spaghetti alla Nerano, and Smoked Sockeye Salmon Toast.
