- KTKayla ThompsonNov 15, 20255.0I came here with a group to celebrate one of our friends hitting a personal milestone and the whole experience beginning to end was top tier! There’s nothing I enjoy more when eating out then going somewhere I can let the server/bartender/chef take the wheel and tell me what to try and how to have it and that’s what made this such a phenomenal meal. I was blown away by our server Cora’s extensive knowledge and expertise when it came to giving recommendations. The wine pairing she suggested for our meal was particularly excellent. Then for dessert, I really wanted to try the affogato with Amaro but when it came to choosing from their vast selection of Amaro’s, I was lost. I opted for the “bartender’s choice” and Juan chose to combine the pecorino gelato with Agricanto and a small pour of a dessert wine paired alongside and it was *chef's kiss* This will definitely be going on my list of regular spots for a nice meal out and I highly highly recommend going ASAP to anyone that hasn’t tried it yet!
- RSReagan SmithNov 15, 20255.0My boyfriend and I went here on a date a few months ago and had the best experience. From the pizza down to the excellent service from our server Mariah, we can’t stop comparing every other place we eat at to our experience at Il Brutto. It was so good we ate our leftovers as soon as we got home, and were still blown away at how good the food was. Can’t wait to go back. P.s. the zucchini pizza is amazing
- CUCydney UzzellNov 15, 20255.0We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Il Brutto! The food was absolutely incredible, and the servers just keep coming with course after course. The portions were generous and the drinks were delicious. Working with the team to schedule and plan the event was a breeze! Madison was awesome! Only downside is that the wine room did not have quite enough room for dinner for 40 people as advertised. The staff was able to quickly set up a table and open up the doors to the patio for the rest of our guests, and it worked out anyways because the kids had more space to play outside.
- AHAVA HEYRMANNov 3, 20255.0We went for our anniversary dinner and had Cora as our server and she made the entire experience wonderful! We received a complimentary ice cream & a coupon for drinks off for our next visit. Definitely recommend the heirloom tomatoes with the bread! Overall, highly recommend Il Brutto!!
- EMEmily MooreNov 1, 20255.0Il Brutto is one of Austin’s best - the people, the atmosphere, the food, the wine. Each time I’ve been has been a delicious and enjoyable experience and leaves a lasting impression every time. My husband and I had yet another wonderful evening tonight at the bar with Joseph and Allie. They’re two of the most attentive and thoughtful servers in Austin. Keep at it yall. We can’t wait to come back next time!
