Hours
and Ambiance
at Gypsy
Gourmet
A couple
blocks East
of the main
dining area
on Barton
Springs Road
in
South-Central
Austin,
Gypsy offers
different
type of
dining than
the
high-volume,
casual
concepts
closer to
Austin's
Zilker Park.
Gypsy offers
a limited
number of
tables, a
 small
bar area
that blends
into a rock
wall/staircase
leading to
an outdoor
patio area,
and a well
managed Chef
staff aiming
to please
with
personalization
that combine
to give
Gypsy
Gourmet a
unique
energy that
delivers a
different
dining
experience.
Please come
see for
yourself.
We are open
for
breakfast
(7am -
10am), lunch
(11am -
2pm), and
diner
(5:30pm -
10:30pm)
every day of
the week but
Sunday.
We are
closed all
day Sunday
and Monday
evening for
dinner.
At
Gypsy, Eating
is about the
Art of
Perfection
Gypsy
Italian
Bistro is
not your
grandmother's
Italian, but
rather an
intimate
Bistro on
Barton
Springs
Road.
The art of
eating is
about the
art of perfection.
Leave your
preconceptions
of Italian
food at the
door and
enjoy a
beautiful
meal rich in
the flavor
and
traditions
of Northern
Italy. Our
talented
chefs will
dazzle you
with their
specials and
keep you
coming back
with their
modern twist
on familiar
classics.
At Gypsy, we
offer a
tasteful
blend of
appetizers,
salads,
wines and
entrees all
designed to
complement
each other
and the
desires of a
perceptive
palate.

list them
all here,
