   The atmosphere is cool. They have a nice patio. The lamb ragú was a 7/10. My mom got the gnocchi which had no flavor- 5/10. They did replace it though with the agnolotti, which I appreciated. 7/10. The pasta portions didn’t really fill me up tbh. The server was not very warm or friendly, but service was fairly quick. I would go back if someone else is paying lol.

   We had a reservation and were seated promptly - that's where the positives began and ended. Took 15 min for someone to acknowledge we were at the table and another 5 before any wter was even offered/brought. The water glasses were small and when we asked to leave the bottle of water at the table we were told they couldn't do that - really???? Our waiter was absolutely clueless. When asked any questions all he could say was "I think so..." We ordered drinks (alcohol), and two appetizers to start. The drinks were the most watered down I have ever experienced in my life. The appetizers were avg at best. When the main course arrived they were the smallest portions and I thought maybe they were kid sized. The Cacio e Pepe was over cooked, the lasagna was also over cooked, and my wife's lamb ragu was not hot, but more tepid in temperature. Again, throughout the meal the waiter was non existent. I seriously question the legitimacy of the reviews. This was the worst meal/experience I've had for as long as I can remember. Needless to say we will not be returning.

   Beautiful space with excellent service, great drinks, and a small but delicious menu. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal, but the pizza and the lasagna were favorite entrees, while the prosciutto was the most popular appetizer, followed closely by the heirloom tomatoes with burrata and the burrata crostini (don't fear the anchovies — they were quite mild and added non-fishy flavor). Dark chocolate gelato was the big dessert hit. My only knock is how loud it is inside. I could barely hear the folks directly across from me, and we are a family known for louder voices. Some sound-absorbing features would help facilitate conversations over what is an excellent meal!

   The customer service was excellent! The hostesses were friendly and helpful when I had to change the number of people in my party last minute. Nina was an amazing server. She was attentive and helpful. All the food was incredible. The beef carpaccio appetizer and gnocchi main course were delicious. The pistachio nest dessert was delightful. I will be going back to try everything else!

   We absolutely love this place. The food hits every time and all of the staff are super knowledgeable about all things food/drinks, specifically wine. The ambiance is incredible as well. We always get a patio table and never leave feeling disappointed.

   Il Brutto never ceases to amaze! Their staff is so welcoming as soon as we walk in and work to accommodate as quickly and efficiently as possible. It had just finished raining and the Il Brutto team had all hands on deck to make sure we were comfortable for our outdoor seating. Our server Nina was so knowledgeable and had a great memory for all of our orders, very impressive! The jazz band on Thursdays is a fun, festive addition to the delicious food and drinks - I highly recommend the 50/50. Allie, Juan, and Liz behind the bar know how to make a great cocktail! Can't wait to enjoy the patio whenever it finally stops raining in Austin!
