VIc and Al's, a new Cajun restaurant from the ownership team of Italian food truck Patrizi's, opened for takeout dinner service May 22.

The brick-and-mortar location at 2406 Manor Road, Austin, was previously occupied by Unit D Pizzeria.

Vic and Al's was originally scheduled to open earlier in the spring, but the coronavirus and the resulting economic fallout put plans on hold temporarily. In March, the Patrizi's team started using the space to cook community meals for those in need.

Starting May 22, Vic and Al's opened with a condensed menu, featuring po'boys, salads and rice plates, for online and call-ahead orders. According to a media release, the team plans to roll out daily specials and an expanded dinner menu within a couple weeks. 512-387-5875. www.vicandals.com
