Upscale Italian Comfort Food and Tiki-Mex on Lake Austin
Westview also offers an enviable selection of renowned Austin eateries. Locals rave about Hula Hut on Lake Austin, where Tex-Mex cuisine meets an exciting tropical twist (or “Tiki-Mex” to the locals). Signature dishes include the Hawaiian fajitas, tender chicken or beef glazed with sweet Polynesian plum sauce and grilled to perfection. Hula Hut is a non-stop island party with a hula skirt and tiki atmosphere, complemented by a crisp breeze and a stunning lakeside view.
Another foodie favorite is the award-winning Asti Trattoria, an upscale Italian bistro known for serving only the freshest handmade Italian comfort food. With rustic dishes such as the succulent grilled duck breast with farro, blackberries and radicchio delivering bold and unforgettable flavors, Asti Trattoria is hailed as the premier Italian destination in Austin.
