Italian Restaurant and Cocktail Bar

Austin, Texas

  • I rolled up to Casa Bianca, its neon lights beckoning my name. Impishly, I ask if they have space. They do. I proceeded to have one of the best meals and cocktails ever since I’ve lived in Austin. On a whim. It’s really the best when it happens that way.

  • The…Sonate Antillaise takes the classic Negroni on a Caribbean vacation by replacing gin with pineapple rum and vermouth with floral and citrusy Lillet Blanc…an ideal match for Casa Bianca’s Cold Bar offerings; I particularly enjoyed taking sips of the Sonate Antillaise in between bites of chilled shrimp with zesty Calabrian chili sauce and zippy lemon aïoli.”

  • The cocktails were also really fun, especially the light Scaribaldi with fluffy pineapple juice and the bright acid-y Svenzoni...I was really impressed with how the team transformed the interior from its previous industrial-ish decor into a much brighter and stylish space. ”

Named one of Austin Monthly's 2024 Best New Restaurants, Casa Bianca is a full service Italian restaurant and cocktail bar with a focus on high quality seafood, handmade pastas, and local ingredients.

Executive Chef/Owner Joseph Zoccoli's maximalist take on contemporary Italian-American cuisine presents a new and exciting addition to the Austin culinary landscape. While the flavors and names of Chef Zoccoli's dishes come from his family’s origin in Italy, the forms and techniques he employs are informed by a decade of experience cooking Japanese cuisine. Sporting Bauhaus and Art Deco influenced interior design and centrally located just east of Downtown Austin, Casa Bianca offers reservations for bar, dining room, and al fresco patio dining.
