Chicken Padano New to the Menu at The Pizza Cave
I’ve never been a huge fan of marinara sauce over any type of pasta. Perhaps I’d make an exception for the amazing sauce at Rao’s in New York (and Las Vegas), but I tend to opt for the lighter sauces such as those in linguine with clam sauce. So I’m glad to see that The […]
Spacing and Following Health Protocols at Tony C’s
While it may sound good on paper, table spacing at restaurants can be tough, both logistically and financially for most places.

And by all means don’t forget […]
Joe Cave: a True Pizzaiolo At Work At The Pizza Cave on 290 West
I love the New York style pies that Joe Cave serves at The Pizza Cave on 290 West near Dripping Springs. He and his wife Susan run one of the most popular pizza joints in the area. Yet ironically, Joe’s roots are not in New York City as one might expect – as it happens, […]

Carmela’s Keeps the Pasta Coming in the Hill Country near Dripping Springs
I tend to patronize family owned and operated restaurants because they usually place a premium on customer care and satisfaction. Carmela’s Pizzeria Café & Deli on Route 12 at Hamilton Pool Road near Dripping Springs is one such spot. They make authentic Italian dishes and always leave me satisfied. They’re not going to be on […]
