A Taste of Italy in Lake Travis at Trattoria Toscano

Written by Cathy Hale | February 8, 2017

If enjoying tasty Italian fair is on your appetite’s To-Do list, Trattoria Toscano in Oaks at Lakeway says, “Benvenuto!” The restaurant opened in September 2016, so it’s still relatively new to the Lake Travis area.

While Trattoria Toscano may be new, its lineage is not. It’s locally owned and operated by the same folks who own Brick Oven Red River, Brick Oven at the Arboretum, Baretto, and Siena.

Let’s just say they know how to deliver a rustic Tuscan dining experience.

Written by Mandy Spivey | February 11, 2016

It’s Thursday evening and you’re nearing the dinner hour.

It’s not quite the weekend yet, but the work week is almost over.

The Thursday night limbo makes you hungry — not just for food — but for good company and entertainment.

The Buzz in Whole Foods Market Bee Cave has just what you need when this mood hits. Thursdays also happen to be live music nights up at the quaint grocery pub, just up the stairs when you walk in on the coffee shop side entrance of Whole Foods.

While you might already be a fan of their ever-rotating taps of local Hill Country beers and wines, you might not know about the tasty treats they also have on the menu, including hot wings, veggie burgers and fish and chips.

Top off your evening with a local brew or two and now you’re getting into the Thursday spirit.
