Juniper has held its spot on East Cesar Chavez since 2015, bringing Northern Italian traditions to East Austin under Executive Chef Sterling Ridings. The dining room sits beneath twenty-foot timber ceilings, built around an open kitchen, a glassed courtyard, and a nine-seat Chef's Counter facing the action.
The kitchen turns out house-made pastas and wood-fired proteins alongside seasonal small plates, paired with an Italian-leaning wine list and spirit-forward cocktails. Dishes like the Texas Corn, Cacio e Pepe, and Gnocchi Sardi have become regulars' points of reference.
A decade in, Juniper has built a reputation as a celebration destination in East Austin, with regulars citing the chef's counter experience and attentive service as reasons they keep coming back.
