The pasta here might just ruin you for all others. Tucked inside the historic Carrington Building at 121 E Main St in Round Rock, Palermo Pasta House is a family-run haven for fresh pasta, rich sauces, and warm hospitality. The space smells like comfort, ripe tomatoes, slow-simmered meatballs, and crisp red wine, and feels just as inviting.
Pasta, Pizza, and a Sauce for Every Mood
Seven shapes of pasta, 28 sauces, and nearly endless combinations mean every visit can be a new adventure. Whether you're going bold with bucatini arrabbiata or mellow with spinach cream fettuccine, the kitchen keeps it personal and playful. The passata di pomodoro base is house-crushed from imported tomatoes, a process that’s equal parts labor and love. Even the pizza dough is slow-fermented for three days before hitting the stone. And yes, there are vegan and vegetarian delights that hold their own.
A Cozy Corner in Historic Round Rock
Inside the white stone walls, it’s all about laid-back charm. Booths, bar seats, patio table; sit’s casual but special, with the feel of a tiny Italian kitchen that just happens to live in Texas. Service is friendly, the wine flows generously, and if there’s a wait, it’s worth it. Locals know to come hungry and stay a while.
