A brief history lesson: Trivelli’s originally opened in 1976 at this location, owned by current operator Steve Trivelli’s parents. He took over many years back (and one of two franchises outside the family still stands at 4547 Austin Bluffs Parkway) but he moved the business to 6827 Space Village Ave. in 2014.

That location remains in operation today as Trivelli decided to reopen where it all began, here, on July 9. His tiny, newly renovated (and shiny!) kitchen’s structurally attached to the not-long-ago updated Murphy’s Tavern. When you enter Trivelli’s front door, you’ll immediately be standing at the order counter, with a view over the action — no dining room, no patio, just an efficient hub for grab-and-go.
