Austria-Hungary did have a formidable navy with several Dreadnought though.

Sure but it was largely a port navy, by that I mean that most of the Austro-Hungarian Navy spent most of its life in port. And those dreadnoughts were rendered completely useless by the Anglo-French Otranto Barrage.

There was simply no match for the combined Anglo-French naval force and it would have been extremely unadvisable for the Royal Italian Navy to try and go against this Anglo-French force.
