Loved it. Great food. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Just a good relaxing time with good food and reasonably priced wine. Our waitress has been there 30 years from the opening. Set to retire soon unfortunately. She was really helpful since we had gluten free guests in our party.

Amazing little Italian place that you wouldn't expect to find in a strip mall. The food and service were great. We had a couple of kids with us on a Saturday night, which was not the vibe of this place... But everyone loved the food, and the staff was great. I wish we lived locally so this could be a regular date night for us.

Today is Friday and I decided to come to reales and spend an evening with myself reading a book and eating good food. They had the Lenten special, it’s a plate described as “Juicy jumbo shrimp dusted in flour and sautéed to perfection, topped with a lemon garlic butter white wine cream sauce. Served with mushrooms risotto and grilled asparagus. With the choice of soup and salad” I chose a salad :) “ This was definitely cooked to perfection by my favorite cook Cristian. The flavors are amazing! I had to stop and write this review before I even finished my plate because I don’t want to rush through the flavors. My first drink was made from Julie, a lemon drop martini and it was refreshing, sweet but not overwhelming a perfect drink to start my night. I asked Jay Jay to make me a Mexican martini because she checked up on me and OMG this Mexican martini is DEFINITELY a Mexican Martini to perfection!! Love it!!! Reales is a place to come and relax after a long week of working so hard, everyone is super friendly and everyone makes you feel very welcomed always with a smile and providing amazing customer service! Joel is also a great guy, always making sure the staff is taken care of which trickles to customers being treated even better! This is a must visit Italian restaurant!

We ordered from here and everything was delicious. My lobster ravioli and chocolate cake were amazing and my wife said her pizza was excellent as well.

I love this Italian restaurant. The food is wonderful. The ambiance is relaxing. It has a bar and wait times are reasonable. The waitresses are great. The menu is great!!

I love Reale's. The food is simple and high quality, and you really can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Classic Italian dishes made by Americans. Super chill spot, but super popular, so there's often a wait. Be sure to call ahead!

All in all, no matter how you are dressed, or how hungry you are. Their service is TOP tier at a surprisingly LOW price compared to what service and experience you receive. LIVE MUSIC IS AVAILABLE SO PLEASE CALL OR BE SURPRISED if you come on the right day! The atmosphere is something to remember and sit in the right place so you can be entranced in how they were able to make a hole in the wall location a very nice place to be! If it wasn’t for BEN being such an amazing employee of their establishment when I ordered their food through door dash the first time and reading my message and listening to my suggestions I wouldn’t have even stopped by! Their whole staff gives the guarantee of being a happy customer. So do them and me a favor and be nice! No one likes a crappy attitude. Don’t be that guy

Real NY Italian Pizza, Subs, Pasta, Plates & Salads in NW Austin. What more can I say, but this is one of the very best New York Style Pizzas in Austin. Their dinners are incredible as well. The Pork Chop is like Sunday Dinner at my Grandma's in Brooklyn. The Italian Sausage on their Pizza is as good as it gets. The service is also as good as you will see in this moderate price range. They have a full service bar with liquor, beer and wine. They also have live entertainment after 6pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. For a great dining experience, a quick lunch out or a carryout Hero or Pizza, Reale's always comes through when I get homesick and need to scratch that itch. Give them a try, and you'll be sold too.

I'm still on the hunt for great pizza (NY Style) to remind me of where I grew up - Long Island! However, lately, I've been dying for a good eggplant parm hero (aka:sub - for anyone outside of NYC/LongIsland). Reale's is owned by NYr's and had been referred to us by some long term customers. Great service! Some reviews mentioned issues with service -we didn't experience any of that and our server was well versed in the menu/ingredients. Breadsticks are house made and free with the meal - they were very tasty and chewy, but I would have preferred a bit crunchy or more cooked. My foodie partner husband and I ordered a small cheese pizza - and were not disappointed! Tasty marinara, but not overwhelming on the pizza. Great crust, with a good crisp. See pic. I remembered to take a pic of the undercarriage this time!! You could fold the pizza and no droop! As good as this pizza was, I was also dying for my eggplant! So I tried not to overstuff myself too quickly! I ordered the eggplant parm hero, and my hub ordered the Sal's Calzone - stuffed with sausage, canadian bacon, ricotta, cheeses and marinara. It comes with some marinara to dip in also. Eggplant - this was a VERY good parm hero! My only nit - they bake their own bread and the bread was good, but could have used crunching up in the oven. I would ask for that next time. I'd also have them go lighter on the sauce or put extra on the side - because it sogs up the bread. Otherwise, very tasty and eggplant was tender and cooked perfectly! Calzone was also great according to hub - no complaints! Food was good, and we will definitely be back!!

The atmosphere was not very welcoming. The service started out strong but became virtually non-existent after the salad and bread were served. The side salad had fresh lettuce and other ingredients and was mixed with a dressing that tasted like it was homemade. The pork chop italian style was creative and an above average dish. The pork chop was a good-sized cut topped with roasted peppers and onions. I did not order the mushrooms. The pork chop was slightly overcooked and a tad bit dry, but overall it was pleasant and the flavors sunk into the pork. The marinara sauce served with the side dish of pasta was a little on the bland side. The server never asked us how our meals were, whether we needed any refills, and we had to tack her down to get out bill. The place was pretty empty so there was no legitimate excuse for the poor service. There was really nothing that would make me want to go back.

We recently visited Reale’s Italian Café and had a mixed experience. The garlic bread was really good — warm, buttery, and full of flavor — and the Italian salad was fresh and nicely seasoned. We also tried the Manicotti, which was delicious, creamy, and full of rich cheese flavor. However, the Chicken Alfredo was just okay — the sauce felt a bit bland and could’ve used more flavor and creaminess. It wasn’t bad, just not as rich or satisfying as we expected for an authentic Italian spot. The only downside was the service. We needed some napkins, but our server never came by to check on us during the meal. Also, when we first arrived, the manager at the entrance was a bit tough with us — not rude, but definitely not the warm welcome you’d hope for when dining out. Overall, the food had some high points, especially the garlic bread and Manicotti, but the experience could be much better with friendlier service and a more flavorful Alfredo sauce.

We decided to come here based on the reviews alone. But we quickly found out that it definitely hasn't been rated properly. Appetizers were out, and the soups weren't available 😔. Stuffed mushrooms were just okay, not really any flavoring. The bread sticks were rubbery and drenched in what I'm guessing is butter? The menu says that the pork chop would be the best I've ever had, um no. It was ok, and the spaghetti it came with was just an odd combination. The best part of our visit was the Manhattan drink we ordered. Very strong and delicious. Xo

Lunch today with friends. I must say it was underwhelming. The young lady serving us was the 5 star highlight. I had a chicken parm sub. No flavor in sauce and breading was non-existant. 3 others got the regular chicken parm with spaghetti side. One sent it back, the other 2 were not digging it. Flavorless and thin breading was off-putting. I have gone off and on for many years and hadn't been for a while. I was surprisingly disappointed. Wish it was better for the price. I understand it's difficult to run a business in Austin but please make more of an effort. I probably won't return for a long while as there are better choices these days. I hate leaving this review but disliked my meal more.

It honestly pains me to write this review because at its core, this place is charming. It’s been around forever, it’s cute, and it very much feels like a neighborhood staple. That said, there’s just too much to unpack here not to share so people know what they’re walking into. Right out of the gate, the pizza is the best thing on the menu. Full stop. If you come here, that’s what you should order. The other Italian dishes are fine, but nothing memorable or out of the ordinary. Also, fair warning, someone in the kitchen really loves garlic. Like… significantly more than you’d expect from an Italian restaurant. If you enjoy garlic-forward everything, you’ll be thrilled. If not, prepare accordingly. Now, dining in. Honestly, it’s a complete waste of time and money. The lighting is absolutely brutal. Think bright white science lab lights mixed with warm sconces, creating a strange, hazy, hospital-meets-date-night vibe that does no one any favors. The service was painfully slow. To be fair, this may have been specific to our experience, as other tables seemed to get food much faster. Our waitress was handling both our table and the bar across the restaurant, which meant long stretches of being forgotten about entirely. The appetizer sealed the deal. A $25 charcuterie board that was barely a step above Oscar Mayer lunch meat, tossed on a wooden board with grapes and stale bread. It was genuinely bad and wildly overpriced. Save your money and go to Tuscany if that’s what you’re craving. Bottom line: order the pizza to go and you’ll probably be happy. Sit down and dine in, and your experience may vary… a lot.

Horrible food and horrible service with a very poor presentation. Shaved sausage in the lasagna, sad, very sad!!!! Baddddddddddd

All I can ask is, what happened? The food from this restaurant was always full of flavor and kept me coming back. The last two times I've ordered from here, you can tell there's a change. I don't know if they started using microwave, out of the box, dishes but the flavor is gone. We ordered calamari, the lasagna, and the chicken cacciatore. The sauce on both main dishes was awful, devoid of flavor. Almost like a TV dinner. I'm writing this in the hopes the chef sees this drop in quality. He's a good man and I hate to see his restaurant lose business because of some poor execution in the kitchen. I'll probably give this place one more shot in a month or so. No improvement; no more patronage.
