General Info:
Il Brutto is a neighborhood Italian spot dedicated to serving authentic Italian cuisine. Authentic meaning there is no interpretation -- this is what you eat in Italy, presented exactly the same way, but in a laid-back east Austin setting. We honor Italian tradition with fresh ingredients, classic techniques, and warm service in an unpretentious manner. The 5,000 sf restaurant features a large, open kitchen, separate bar and lounge, private dining room, and shaded patio seating surrounding a heritage oak tree. The cuisine has an emphasis on classic, non-regional Italian dishes. The menu features fresh antipasti, daily handmade pastas, and pizzas baked in the restaurant’s Neapolitan wood-burning oven. The beverage program highlights an extensive selection of Italian wines from an on-site cellar, as well as local beers and good cocktails.Il Brutto is a neighborhood Italian spot dedicated to serving authentic Italian cuisine.
