Craving carbs? For those looking for the best when it comes to flour and water concoctions, Austin has several restaurants making top-notch pasta dishes — from those that would make a nonna proud to those making creative use of Texas ingredients.
Here is Eater’s map to Austin’s best bets for pasta, from Emmer & Rye’s craveable cacio e pepe to Il Brutto’s excellent ragu. This list explores excellent pasta beyond just Italian restaurants, including the rotating pasta offerings of Birdie’s or the seasonal delights of Foreign & Domestic.

As with all businesses right now, be sure to call ahead to make sure each restaurant is still open or if there are updates on current offerings and service models, as things are changing constantly. Be sure to wear a mask, tip well, and, if you’re ordering delivery, try to order directly from the restaurants themselves.
