Another one for the books — 100% on our health inspection again. 💯

That makes a perfect score every time since we opened in August 2024, and I couldn’t be more proud of this team. The amount of work they put in behind the scenes every day to keep things clean, organized, and running the right way is no joke.

Big shoutout to our kitchen and front-of-house crew for taking so much pride in this place. It shows.

And to everyone who comes in and supports us — thank you. Y’all are the reason we keep pushing to be better every day. ❤️

We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Polly Harrison.

For so many Thursdays, Polly filled our space with beautiful jazz alongside Dave Deering. Those evenings weren’t just performances — they were moments. The kind that made you pause, smile, and stay a little longer.

Her talent, grace, and warm spirit brought something truly special to our restaurant and to San Antonio.

We are grateful for the music, the memories, and the light she shared with all of us.

Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and everyone whose lives she touched.

In a world of fast food and rushed meals, we’re proud to be the place where dinner still feels like an experience.

At Purple Garlic Italian Café, every dish is made with intention — from our slow-simmered sauces and fresh herbs to the warm bread that arrives at your table still steaming. We’re not a chain. We’re your neighborhood Italian kitchen, where families gather, first dates happen, anniversaries are celebrated, and “let’s just go somewhere good” always turns into “let’s go to Purple Garlic.”

Pair your favorite pasta with a glass of wine or a cold beer, settle in, and discover why so many locals call us their favorite little Italian secret on Blanco Road. 🍝🍷🍺

🔥🔥 THE SPECIALS HAVE LANDED — AND THEY’RE NEXT-LEVEL. 🔥🔥
Purple Garlic just dropped TWO dinner dishes that are guaranteed to steal your heart (and your appetite 😍).

🍾 Champagne Kissed Lobster Ravioli – $28.95
Delicate, pillowy ravioli stuffed with tender lobster… all coated in a silky champagne-kissed sauce. Rich, elegant, dreamy — this is the kind of dish that turns dinner into a whole moment.

🐟 Red Snapper with Rosemary Potatoes & Basil Pesto – $26.95
Beautifully cooked red snapper paired with crispy rosemary potatoes — and underneath those golden potatoes is a layer of fresh, vibrant basil pesto that ties the whole dish together. Every bite hits with herbs, comfort, and pure flavor fireworks. 💥

✨ Dine-in only • Dinner only starting at 5pm and only while supplies last, so come early! ✨
