Bobcat Bucket List #66: Share a Meal at Italian Garden

Imagine a less expensive, BYOB version of Olive Garden and you’ll find Italian Garden. Posters signed by Johnny Depp and Al Pacino greet you in the entrance as you wait for your table.

Italian Garden has been a San Marcos staple for 23 years since its opening in 2000. They offer an extensive menu ranging from pasta, poultry dishes, seafood, and vegetarian options. If you would like to enjoy a glass of wine or beer with your meal, feel free to bring in your favorite beverage from home. They even provide complimentary glasses for your drinks.

Catering for all occasions is available with just a 24 hours notice. You can find the pricing for parties under 20 people on their website or call if you have more people than that. In addition, Italian Garden offers delivery through TexasToGo.

Italian Garden has been voted '“Best Italian food in Hays County” 8 times since 2008. With the classic red and white checkered tablecloths and Italian décor, they’re the closest ambience to Italy that a Texan could ask for.

You can visit Italian Garden daily from 11am to 10pm at 415 N LBJ Dr.
