Entrees from chef-owner Marion Gillcrist at Italian bistro La Traviata include Cioppina alla San Francisco, Chicken Parmesan and duck confit.
From the restaurant's website:
"Founded by Chef Marion Gillcrist in July 2000, La Traviata has been serving Austin with true Italian comfort ever since."
Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Fri, dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
"Perched on tall chairs at the bar, we found chef-owner Marion Gillcrist’s classic Italian comfort food as good as ever. A bright salad of arugula, citrus, and Gorgonzola piqued our appetite for decadent lamb meatballs and rigatoni (in a creamy tomato sauce) and a plate of crisp-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside chicken Parmesan with melty fontina cheese."
