   Everything was great, and it’s not their fault that I’m old and it was too dark and too loud. I’m not even sure what was in my lasagna, but it was damn good.

   The food was amazing! But the disappointing dish were heirloom tomatoes ans burrata. There was barely any burrata on that plate at all and we all know the best part is cutting one open/ is even rather pay more for an actual burrata. I’d just call the dish tomato salad but it was seasoned to perfection.

   Food was amazing! Service was excellent. Seemed a little overpriced for cocktails. Piano playing was a little noisy towards end.

   We made a reservation at Il Brutto for a date night. Upon arriving, we were very impressed by the aesthetic and vibe of the restaurant. We sat inside, but they also have a beautiful patio that we'd like to sit on when it gets warmer. My partner and I do not drink alcohol, so we were happy to see they had a selection of non-alcoholic drinks other than soda. For an appetizer, we ordered the marinated olives, which were delicious, and the portion was plentiful. For entrees, we ordered the gnocchi and the swordfish. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. The gnocchi was delicious as well, but the portion seemed a bit small for the price. Overall, we were very pleased with the service, the food, and the vibes at Il Brutto and would definitely return to try their other offerings.

    I took my wife to Il Brutto for her birthdaay and it was a wonderful experience. The staff wished her a happy birthday, brought her ice cream and limoncello and made her feel special. The setting is romantic and there were many couples enjoying dinner. The gnocci was delicious! Highly recommend.

    Unpretentious, and the food totally stood up. Leaf salad, broccolini, and buratta crostini. All very good. Caccio e pepe was the best we've had since Rome. Lamb ragu pasta was delicious. Good tiramisu to finish. I have a feeling we ordered the best things on the menu (but could be wrong). 1 glass of wine + tip and it came it at just shy of $200. Not cheap, but very good for the quality of the food. We'll definitely be back, and will probably reorder everything. P.S. parking validation for the lot a few doors down on the same side of E 6th.

    My girlfriend and I came here on a date night. When we first walked into the door, the music was blaring and I immediately thought to myself I’m going to have to yell across the table just to talk to her. Second the lighting was way too dark, I had to use light coming in from the window from a street light to help me read the menu. With all that being said, the food was really really good. I got the lasagna which was tasty. PS: The lemon shot they give you at the end is terrible.. lol

    We sat at the bar and had a great experience! Both bartenders were super attentive. While the burrata appetizer wasn’t our preference, it could be someone else’s. We did love the trip and olive apps and have to say the lasagna bolognese is a must have, amazing!!!

    We had such a great time at il brutto! The staff are so welcoming and friendly. No stuck up vibes here’s. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable and helped us navigate drinks and food. It was a festive scene with music and lots of people, so if you want a quiet meal, this isn’t the place, but you’d miss out on some delish food. We got the swordfish, cacio e pepe, pizza, and the lamb. Everything was perfect. We finished with the tiramisu and a few more laughs. Perfect night and so glad we picked this restaurant to celebrate with friends! We will definitely be back.

    We had high expectations because all the blogs saying it was the best pasta in Austin. Food was nice, but we’re definitely not coming back. The service was terrible. Since the moment we arrived they were rude, they requested to take away glasses and plates when we were still eating. The experience was annoying and you can get the same quality with a respectful and nice service in so many other places. They shouldn’t take reservation at 9pm if the staff it’s having a hard time there.

    Great food, lovely space. But loud indoors. And musicians. When will restaurants stop this nonsense. If I want to see live music, I'll go to a club. I come to a restaurant to enjoy food and conversation. Conversation here is shouting at one another across the table. I'll come back, but only to a table outdoors.

    The service was dismissive at best. We had reservations at 5pm. There were four other tables. It was like the server went out of their way to not provide service. The food was fine. Disappointing. Will not recommend or return.

    Zero customizations available for drinks (apparently they are premade). The food was subpar with the exception of the lasagna and mussels. Waiter was impatient and had a rough demeanor. Seemed annoyed by our large (9) group. The atmosphere did not feel welcoming or cozy. The highlight of our visit was thanks to Nimra who was very accommodating.

    I used to got to Il Bruto regularly but haven’t been since June 2021. We brought a friend who hadn’t been and were looking forward to eating again at one of our favorite places. Unfortunately the place has changed for the worse since 2021. White wines were not chilled at had to be sent back, service was sluggish (our meal took 2 hrs), and food had to be sent back (the final entree took 45 minutes and then was undercooked and tasted terrible). After a terrible experience they sent over dessert on the house, but we didn’t even have a manger come over to talk to us. Not to mention it was incredibly loud, you could barely hear the person sitting next to you. Unfortunately I will be returning it seems this place has run it’s course. I typically don’t write reviews and enjoy my restaurant experiences, but was really disappointed with this meal.

    I had a great experience at Il Brutto. The design of both the interior and the patio is really charming, and the food was simply outstanding. Our waiter, DaShawn, was super friendly and gave us great recommendations. The heirloom tomato appetizer with a side of bread, the cacio e pepe, and the agnolotti were delicious. I will definitely be returning to try more of their offerings. 10 out of 10.

    Really amazing food. I suggest booking the "Counter" which allows you to watch the chefs cooking in the open kitchen. Nice wine list. Awesome pizza.
