L'Oca d'Oro is an Italian-inspired neighborhood restaurant in Austin's Mueller district, opened in 2016 by chef/owner Fiore Tedesco and co-owner Adam Orman after a pop-up series that began in 2013. Tedesco, a 2017 StarChefs Austin–San Antonio Rising Star, builds a seasonal, locally sourced menu of housemade pasta and Italian fare, with a stated emphasis on sourcing and staff compensation. The bar program carries a genuine, menu-listed "No / Very Low ABV" section rather than an afterthought. Zero-proof options include the School Night Spritz (strawberry cordial, fresh basil and mint, lime, bubbles) and the Dry County O.F. (dark-roast yaupon tea, yerba-orange cordial, and house orange and aromatic bitters). A Ritual Zero Proof gin alternative can be paired with housemade Italian sodas (limonata, orange cream, basil-lime, tangerine-rosemary). Non-alcoholic also includes Lost Pines Yaupon iced tea and Rambler sparkling water. Bar and patio service runs Tuesday through Sunday from 4pm.
