La Traviata - Austin, TX

La Traviata

I went to a cool Italian restaurant last night in downtown Austin called La Traviata (just like Verdi's famous opera). It was pretty good. It's right next to Manuel's, a Tex-Mex restaurant that has decent mole sauce. I got the Rigatoni with Spicy Lamb Meatballs, and it was very good. My friends and I also got some Pinot Noir to drink with the meal, which is unusual for me because I never drink wine, and I am not a big fan of it. It was good, though. Anyway, here is the link for it ...

I have a friend who is obsessed with reading reviews of places on Yelp.com so here are the reviews for La Traviata on Yelp ...

To go with the theme of this post, here are my favorite parts of Verdi's opera, La Traviata (which is the opera they played in "Pretty Woman") ...

[this is good]
Your meal sounded wonderful!!!! My daughter loves Lamb. I like it cooked in Indian Food, hot and spicy, with Chickpeas, and Pakoras, and rice on the side.
I loved the movie "Pretty Woman" and the music, too.

Have a great night Mark :)
