BREAKING NEWS: Savta Hospitality Group is set to captivate the Austin dining scene with the launch of two exciting new concepts. The much-anticipated Handroll Bar is scheduled to open on historic 6th Street between September and October 2026, as confirmed by general manager Santiago Parejo.
This development comes as Savta continues to expand beyond its well-known locations on the West Coast, particularly its flagship Mediterranean-inspired eatery at the Original Farmers Market in LA. The Handroll Bar aims to introduce a unique Japanese dining experience, featuring handrolls crafted with fresh fish sourced directly from Japan three times a week. “The fish will give us a freshness that is honestly amazing,” Parejo stated.
But that’s not all. Savta Hospitality Group is also planning to unveil another concept in Austin in January 2027. While details are still being finalized, Parejo hinted that this new eatery will likely offer a menu focused on pizza and pasta. Locations and additional offerings are expected to be announced soon, keeping the Austin community abuzz.
The expansion is more than just a business move; it represents a commitment to bringing innovative dining options to the heart of Austin. “Whoever has been lucky to try Sora, they’re going to love this place,” Parejo added, emphasizing the unique flavors and five-star experience diners can expect.
Savta’s successful culinary ventures have already made waves in markets like New York, and the group is eager to replicate that success in Texas. The Handroll Bar will not only provide Austinites with delectable sushi handrolls but also a full bar experience featuring classic cocktails, sake, margaritas, and more.
As the city of Austin continues to grow, real estate agents and city officials are actively seeking to fill vacancies on 6th Street, making this opening timely and crucial for the local economy. Savta Hospitality Group’s entry into the market is expected to attract both residents and visitors, eager to sample these innovative dining experiences.
