Battalion

Cool space but loud.

Absolutely the best Italian food!

Went here with a party of 10 - were in town for some business meetings. This restaurant is one of the best I've been to - service was perfect, pacing of drinks, appetizers, mains, all just right. Food itself was delicious, and the setting was very nice. I strongly recommend.

I openly express my dislike for Italian cuisine when dining out with friends and family. Despite enjoying pasta, I've found myself consistently disappointed with Italian renditions, often characterized by heavy tomato-based sauces lacking homemade flavor. Therefore usually not ordering any of the pasta and being sad that the other dishes did not delight. However, Battalion in San Antonio challenged my preconceptions entirely. Entering Battalion, I was struck by the elegant yet modern decor, which exuded sophistication while maintaining a welcoming ambiance, complete with indoor and al fresco seating options. The food at Battalion was a revelation. The Bread Service was a delightful start, with each spread offering a unique experience, notably the Whipped Ricotta, which of the three options stole the spotlight. The Burrata, Beef Tartare, and Spinach Dumplings left me speechless, showcasing flavors unforeseen or tasted. Even though I initially scoffed at the idea of ordering Chicken Parmesan, Battalion proved me wrong with a rendition that surpassed all expectations. However, the true star was the Pepper Crusted Drunken Pork Chop, a dish seemingly unconventional for Italian cuisine (right? Or is this really an Italian thing), regardless it was executed flawlessly. I have no words and I do believe words would completely fail to capture this dish’s excellence; it's simply a must-try … seriously you must try it. Despite not being one for repeat visits, I’d be willing to try Battalion again as The Tartar, Spinach Dumplings, and Pork Chop are undeniable highlights, but I'm eager to explore more of their menu. So … To Battalion: Let's collaborate on a "What We Ate" review video. @Colefamilyvalues and @minamakesofficial would be totally on board for a fun collab!

Absolutely wonderful meal and great service. The fettuccine al prosciutto was incredible!

This place was so good. Food is definitely worth it. Our waiter was amazing considering he was waiting 6 other tables. We ordered 2 bread service apps, 1 meatball app, 2 entree meals (they were small but super feeling especially since we got full with the apps) plus 2 glasses of wine for $80 and tipped our waiter a $20. He provided great service. Only disappointment …..but not really was I asked what bread they were serving. It was DELICIOUS I had to know! And the waiter forgot to ask the cook so we left not knowing. Seriously debating and calling and finding out just for that bread alone
