Il Brutto 1601 East 6th Street, Austin, TX 78702

"Starting with appetizers, our side of the table got the Prosciutto, which was absolutely delicious, a great way to start a meal we devoured it easily, the pesto spread being my personal favorite. We also got the Cozze, which had some of the best mussels I’ve ever had, the broth/soup or wtv it is being so good, i wanted to drink it so badly. The other side of the table got olives (which personally not my favorite, tasted like perfume) and beets (again not something i like but the rest of the table loved it). The main courses are personally where i believe it faltered. I got the Cacio E Pepe and it was such a small portion and really was not that good either. It tasted like microwaved mac and cheese and i jsut really wasn’t a fan, it was really lacking in something and I can’t name it. We also got the lasagna which wasn’t enjoyed by anyone on our table, and it tasted almost raw. The Lamb Scottadito was delicious, I just wish there was more but it was incredible. The mozzarella pizza was pretty standard, good and no complaints. As for desert, the ricotta semifreddo was delightful, sweet and fresh. The tiramisu wasn’t my favorite tiramisu, was good but it felt more grainy than what I’m used to. The cannolo was also good but the shell was crispier than what I would’ve liked. Lastly the gelato was so delicious and tangy (I can’t remember which flavor we got). Our waitress was also amazing, sweet and fun to be around especially with dealing with our tables antics. The atmosphere outside was so nice and the lighting was incredible. Recommend mostly for the atmosphere and experience, just a bit too pricy for me!"

"Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Good for date night. Wine bottles are half price on Wednesdays. Their house-made limoncello is outstanding."

"Booked a same day reservation for interior dining, although the patio was open and looked fantastic. I believe they have both blankets and table side fire pits. Started with a glass of Prosecco, a tasty mocktail for our daughter, and the Burrata Crostini. Our server (Kristina) spent a lot of time helping us pick out an amazing bottle of wine and also recommended a wine guide book that we purchased (thru Amazon not the store) before leaving. Our entrees were fantastic, with the wild cod leaving a lasting impression. Finished the meal with a very good plate of tiramisu. The restaurant atmosphere was festive but not too loud, and the facility was clean and sharply appointed. The menu pricing felt appropriate for the experience. We will definitely be back."

"Loved it. For me, the pizza dough is very important when it comes to a good pizza, and i could've keep eating and eating more, it was so tasty. The Heirloom Tomatoes with Burrata was surprisingly our favorite dish, full of flavor. The pasta was good, out of the two we had I liked the Cacio e Pepe more. My highlight was that they didn't have a Limoncello Spritz on the menu, I asked if they could make one for me, and they did! So appreciated. Service was great, friendly, resourceful. We had a great time here. Would recommend outdoor seating if the weather allows it, but indoor seating is pretty comfortable as well."

"The food here was yummy across the board! Everything was delicious, Brian our waiter was knowledgeable and pleasant and the huge tree in the center of the outdoor seating area is definitely a statement piece. Our large group unfortunately was not sat together despite our tables being relatively close to each other. When asked if we could pull them closer we were given a hard no. Aside from that, we all enjoyed the meal and ambiance."
