We arrived at around 8:55pm on a Friday night and were seated immediately. By 9:06, we already had our starter of mussels at our table. Then, not even 10 minutes later, our mains were served up. To say service was quick is an understatement. The food
We had such a lovely time at Il Bruto.
Jalin took great care of us - from delicious recommendations to making sure the food was safe for my daughter with Celiac. She was so attentive and the rest of the staff worked as a well-oiled team. The food exceeded our expectations as did the Mini

Our server was AMAZING! I used to work in the food service
Our server was AMAZING! I used to work in the food service industry and I am extremely impressed by the knowledge of the menu and charisma by Deshawn. Would recommend this place and him as a server to anyone
Dashawn has been so wonderful.
The food and wine here is amazing but Dashawn made the experience a 10 out of 10. Anyone that lives in or comes to visit Austin Texas needs to come to Il Brutto!
Great neighborhood bar.
Our server, Dashawn had great drink recommendations and excellent service!
Good vibe, great service, mediocre meal!
We sampled a range of dishes during our visit, with mixed impressions. The beet salad was the clear standout—fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully executed. Unfortunately, the salt cod appetizer, presented more like a crudo, fell flat and was only

Friday night out with friends
Fabulous Italian restaurant on East 6th. I’ve been here for date night and most recently with a friend visiting Austin. They have an optional gluten free & vegetarian menu. While you’d are here you can dine like the Italians and start with a

An entire glass of wine was spilled on me by a server, soaking my shirt, skirt and phone. No one came to wipe up the wine and I was forced to clean up myself the table and and floor. The hostess was incredibly condescending and unapologetic and spoke

As a person who lived in Italy, I am happy to say that Il Brutto gave me everything I missed about Italian when I came back to Austin. While expensive compared to other Italian places, this place boasts an Italian head chef, and the food reflects his
I recentlyi ate there and it was excellent.
I had the Ravioli Capollini. It was the BEST ravioli that I have ever had. I also had a ravioli with pears and . mushrooms. It was SO good. I had broccolini as an appetizer. Halibut was my entree. Never had halibut cooked to perfection before n
This used to be one of my go to's.
I have a hard time understanding their seating process, particularly when the restaurant was half empty for the 1.5 hrs I was there. The full restaurant is reservation only, including the bar which I was not aware of. I sat myself and got a weird com
My god.
.. I parked in the garage they specified. Paid for something like 2 hours of parking, had dinner and left and went back to my car - left the garage 24 minutes late and got a bill via mail for $92 for going over my parking. Clearly, this place doesn't

I went for a bacherlorette party, since I had a bigger group they did a prefixed menu. The staff was so nice and helpful while booking the reservation. I would say the waitress was a bit quiet and I wish she had talked more and maybe checked on us a

Location is great, patio ambiance is amazing! Food was so average though, I was really disappointed!! Wanted to love it but pizza was floppy, pasta was chewy, and portions were small for price! Wine selection was decent so I'll give them that.

Just visited Italy and while entres are a nice attempt at authentic cuisine with homemade pasta, the portions are tiny for the price!l and cheese is very disappointing. My martini was $22! Wow...and I've eaten all over the world. This is a place to
Disappointing
Very disappointing. It’s a wannabe. Want to be fine dining but below average American version of Italian food. The heirloom tomatoes were tasteless and should not have been served. The lasagna was the worst I ever had - imbalanced flavors, dr
Amazing food with exceptional service
We went here on our last night of a roadtrip and had such a lovely waitress called Sarah (M) who picked up on the fact that it was my friends birthday and suprised us with a ‘Happy Birthday’ Desert. This was such a lovely touch that certainly was
Super yum food and great service….will definitely go back again. Only one complaint - read on if you like!
The food was delicious, as well as the service. The presentation of food was beautiful too. The pasta is made fresh daily. My ONlY complaint, I ordered a nice gin over ice and the waiter said “a cube of ice ok?” I said sure. When I got the
Delicious Italian meal
We loved Il Brutto! The lasagna was possibly the best we have ever had, pizza and gnocchi were also wonderful. The tiramisu was fabulous. Our server Sierra was friendly and knowledgeable and brought us a special dessert treat at the end of the me
Not worth it
We were impressed with the expensive pasta plates we ordered. The pizza was fine. The beer and wine was bottom shelf with top shelf pricing.
Nice Meal
We were very pleased with our meal at Il Brutto. Started with the mussels, prosciutto and Fornarina Bread appetizers. Moved on to the Cacio e Pepe, Pappardelle w/lamb and the Annolotti pastas. Finished with Tiramisu. Attentive service.
Family dinner
Lovely food. Davide looked after our table and made great recommendations for wine. *Deshawn whose area we were seated in was inattentive and unhelpful.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Il Brutto Austin. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Il Brutto Austin at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Il Brutto Austin page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Il Brutto Austin to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Il Brutto Austin!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
