Cantinetta Allora offers a slightly upscale ambience. Dark, romantic setting in the evening. Quality ingredients. Well-executed. Pasta dishes were delicious. Service was both efficient and friendly. Excellent choice if you get the craving for Italian food.
If you’re staying a few nights in Vienna and need a break from sausages, beer and schnitzel, why not try this first-class Italian ristorante. It tops anything in Rome or Milan for Italian cuisine. That’s a bold statement but I’ll stand by it. The pasta, pizza and fresh fish dishes (yes … they typically have Branzino) are all done right with the best ingredients.
Neni, Vienna, has two locations, one in Naschmarkt and one at the edge of amusement park Prater, and more coming soon. This international chain of middle eastern influenced restaurants, founded by celebrity chef, Haya Molcho, has salted-caramel pancakes, traditional fried eggs and bacon, or a North African shakshuka … Something to please everyone at breakfast. The evening fare is just and interesting and delicious.
Mi Barrio Restaurant in Vienna is part Tex-Mex, part Venezuelan, but entirely enjoyable. It’s small and pleasantly decorated with a friendly staff, a charming terrace and some Corona beer to accompany those burritos, nachos and arepas. Finish it off with a shot of Mezcal served in a glass rimmed with spicy peppered salt.
