One of my favorite dining experiences in all of Austin. Went there tonight for my anniversary, and everything was perfection. The patio ambiance was beautiful, service from Donna was impeccable, and the food was flawless. We started with bread and fried macaroni balls, which were much lighter than we expected in the best way. The chicken parmesan had just the right amount of crispy breading, while the sauce on the spicy shrimp linguini was good enough to drink. Dessert was a real standout with dark chocolate profiteroles and their special Italian ice of the day, blood orange, with Amy's ice cream. The restaurant went above and beyond to make our anniversary special, and I could not recommend it enough. Hats off to the chef and the whole team. We will definitely be coming back again!

My wife and I had dinner here after an event nearby. I booked the reservation last minute after reading other reviews. Our meal was absolutely wonderful. The attention to detail was apparent throughout the meal. The Chicken Parmigiana was crispy and delicious. The Crispy Polenta was appetizer a great way to start off our meal. We will definitely be back again.

Pleasant lunch place. We started with a Caesar salad. A bit different than usual presentation wise, it's was whole lettuce leaves but it was good nonetheless because each ones were coated with the seasoning. Our entree were the Fettuccine with Mushrooms and Spaghetti with Tomato & Basil with a side of chicken. First one had nice earthy flavor but a little too saucy for my taste. Second one was flavorful in a way it was letting the tomatoes and basil shine. I am not sure if it was the normal, but the amount of "side" chicken was huge and that made the portion quite a challenge to finish! I didn't mind though since I was starving. Lastly we had a Tiramisu. To me it lack coffee flavor and there was too much mascarpone compare to the lady fingers.

Donna was absolutely amazing. Tonight's special was Ravioli, and this was by far the best I've ever had. In town for the week and will be back!

The food here is amazing. There are daily specials and that's what we went for. The turnip soup and field salad were perfectly balanced with flavor, freshness, and seasonal produce. The ravioli were vegetarian and bomb, but what really impressed me was the service. We arrived 20 minutes before closing and were enthusiastically greeted and welcomed. They let us sit outside and it was a beautiful night on their patio. The server was cheerful and not overattentive and did not rush us. One of the best experiences I've had eating out in Austin.

Went here for dinner during Austin Restaurant Week 2022. Absolutely a wonderful experience. Atmosphere is cozy and contemporary, staff were very attentive. Crispy polenta was fabulous. Fettuccine with Portabella and Cremini mushrooms was delicious.. fettuccine perfectly cooked, mushrooms were nice and earthy, and oh the sauce :) I will definitely be back. Nice a selection of wines, too.

I truly enjoyed my dinner. I don't remember the last time I've finished my whole plate of food. My pasta was super good and the fries were well seasoned. My friend's Mac& cheese balls were good as well. And the tiramisu was exactly what I needed to end my wonderful dinner.

Grant took amazing care of my family and I on our special occasion. He made perfectly curated recommendations that we all enjoyed, including a delicious Nebbiolo wine, spicy linguini with salmon, and ice cream pie for dessert (a holiday special). Solid Italian food is hard to come by in Austin. We will definitely be back!

I have to say this was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. We had the amazing calamari, Mac and cheese bites, and the special burrata for apps. All were 10/10. Our entrees also were delicious, the special ravioli was the best. Lastly, we had nicest waitress. She was very attentive and had great recommendations. Definitely will be back next time I find myself in Austin.

Great service, awesome atmosphere! Thank you Aaron for your awesome suggestions, and taking care of the table. We enjoyed our food very much. The pastas, veggies, and proteins were very tasteful! The parking lot area could be a little better but the food and service make up for it.

Dined there evening of 03 July Staff provided excellent service and was knowledgeable about wine. I enjoyed the soup and bolognese and liked that cracked pepper was provided which I used a lot of. The fresh peaches in the cheese dessert was nice.

Our first time to 68 Degrees for a Valentines Fixed menu. Little awkward parking as Goodwill chained off one side of entrance. Nice waitress and food very tasty. Only issue was we ordered steak medium until waitress apologized it is served only medium rare. Never experienced that before, especially with a limited fixed menu.

Nice Westside Italian restaurant across the street from Derp Eddys. My friend says he judges Italian restaurants based on their Bolognese pasta, and it was great at 68 Degrees! I've had lunch here (twice), but never dinner. Lunch crowd is fairly small (I asked and they said 20 people during lunch was good) and plenty of parking for the lunch crowd. Attentive service (only 1 waiter due to crowd size) and cozy atmosphere. High recommendations!

Great food but extremely disappointed in this place. I had a 9pm reservation on Valentines and was excited for an excellent experience. I have experience serving and working in restaurants and found it completely unacceptable that it took over 15 minutes to be greeted, and 27 minutes from the time we were sat to get our drinks. With no mix drinks available, I found it insane that it took 13 minutes to receive our drinks after placing our order. We had to rush through our dinner as we had a second reservation for that night to make. If I’m spending $215 for a dinner for two, I expect service to provide a great experience. This place has no business charging these prices for such mediocre effort.

The service is really great. I arrived little bit early before my reservation time. I was told about specials and I asked specifically if the Ravioli is made fresh and she said yes we make all our pasta fresh. When the food areived, the portion was bit questionable. However the food quality was surely below par my expectations. Ravioli was hard and did not seem freshly made and no offense but the plate was cold.. The place has good ambiance.

Zero vibe and rushy waiters, we hoped the food would be redeemable but it was awful - lacked any seasoning (mac & cheese balls & calamari), side salad was limp and our mains were even worse. The “braised pork” looked and tasted like boiled blocks of meat and the pasta had zero flavour. Won’t be returning - over priced for terrible food
