Step into Brutto Americano, a hidden gem within The Barnett in the lively heart of downtown New Orleans. Chef Brian Burns reimagines Italian classics with a fresh, contemporary twist, highlighting handmade pasta and the finest local seafood. The wine list draws heavily from the Italian peninsula and offers a curated selection of small growers from the American West Coast. The cocktail menu channels the elegance of Milan and Rome’s legendary bars, blending tradition with innovation.
The name Brutto Americano, which translates to "Ugly American," is an irreverent nod to both the lavishness of the restaurant’s stunning physical space and the kitchen’s bold, unapologetic approach to reimagining classic Italian dishes. At Brutto, the team pushes boundaries while staying rooted in tradition, creating an experience that’s as unexpected as it is unforgettable.

This was our first time eating at this restaurant, and we will be back soon. We invited another couple to join us, and they also enjoyed the meal. We shared starters and pasta dishes. It was perfect to do, so we had an opportunity to taste a few different things. There is an option for the chef to feed you, but some in my group weren't interested. That is something I will try next time.

Since restaurant is fairly new, I wanted to give a little grace but when a mouse ran under our table while we were eating and we let the waiter know but the manager didn’t came out to speak to us, and acknowledge the situation, I was very disappointed.

We had three different pastas at our table so that each of us could sample the others, and they were all great. My favorite was the pappardelle, but we also enjoyed the Rigatoni alla Vodka, which had a little kick to it. Tasty Panna Cotta for dessert. Service was very attentive, and it’s a beautiful space that made for a delicious meal and an enjoyable overall experience.

Excellent experience from beginning (charming hostesses) to end. The food was delicious, particularly the steak tartare, the roasted oysters, the crab pasta, and the scallops. And our waiter, Armando, was superb. We plan to return soon.
