Vespaio Restaurant Austin Reviews from The Last Year
Tasteful experience
An Italian restaurant on Congress Avenue is always busy. Reservations in advance are necessary. The food is excellent, balanced flavors and people with a stomach reduction are also taken into account.
A nicely matured, old-school Austin eatery - handily the best Italian in town
You definitely wouldn't know it given the extent to which Austin's grown since it opened, but Vespaio was one of THE hottest tickets in town for a solid decade (and it's been open over 25 years now). They originally didn't take reservations except for tables before 5:30pm, and even on an average weeknight it could be a 45-minute wait for a table (or more like 90 minutes on weekends). OTOH as an Austin native who's more than a bit sick of how bougie S. Congress has gotten – not to mention the near-Manhattan-level difficulty of getting a reservation at the latest eight-seat omakase sushi place – Vespaio has aged so gracefully that you'd never know it's older than nearly any other retail business or *any* kind within viewing distance. And while its founding chef has moved on, most of his original recipes are still used today. Vespaio definitely isn't the hippest Italian place nowadays; Sammie's on West Sixth is the main draw for Austin's new celebrity / tech millionaire set. Their prices are similar, too. But Sammie's is only a couple of years old and was rather obviously designed with "Instagramability" in mind: it's part of a "hospitality group" that has very, VERY specific design for food & interiors alike. (Meanwhile, Vespaio predated social media *and* high-speed internet!) And Sammie's simply isn't as good. I occasionally get a subpar dish at Vespaio – more than in the past – but at this point in its life it's matured into a smooth groove. If someone not familiar with Austin restaurants asks me what I'd recommend for a last-minute booking at a place that *doesn't* have bad food, Vespaio has been my main go-to ever since they *finally* added OpenTable for bookings in advance.
Food poisoning!!! Avoid this place!
Avoid unless you want to get SICK and be treated poorly! Decided to give this place a try on 8/25 and my bf and I got bad FOOD POISONING the next morning that lasted all day, and we had to cancel our evening plans. We shared a lasagna and pizza so not sure which got us sick, but this is the only meal we ate in common all week. We called and the manager apologized and said we’d get a refund but they had to investigate more and that the GM would call us. Never got a call. A week later I called back and after being placed on hold for 10 minutes and calling back 4 more times (the calls would go to VM so we called back on my bf’s number and they picked up the phone and the girl said “ohh yeaaa sorry about that”) we finally got ahold of the GM and he told us that the chef owner said he wouldn’t honor the refund we were promised because there should have been more people calling in but we were the only ones, basically saying “we don’t believe you”. A batch of food doesn’t have to be contaminated in order to get you sick…it was likely due to the way our meals were prepared. We were also asked by both a manager and GM if we saw a doctor or not. We did not see a doctor. We just toughed it out, but why does that matter? We were promised to get a call back on 9/4 from the other co-owner and even told “he’s really good about calling people back” but yet again, no call back. At this point, I’m baffled at their lack of accountability. Never have I ever experienced a restaurant with such a lack of integrity or regard for customers, and this is the only restaurant we’ve gotten food poisoning in our 3 years in Austin. Keep in mind our bill was only for 2 entrees, and they are risking their reputation over saving a small amount of money. On top of all that, we only ate less than half our meal and took most of it to go, and those leftovers had to be tossed. It’s been over 2 weeks now, still waiting on a call back. This has been so frustrating and they need to be called out.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
