- NNicoleAustin •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoSitting at the bar, both bartenders took amazing care. The wine recommendations, the added dinner digestives, and the overall guidance through the menu made this an exceptional experience. Thank you to the manager Erik and to the incredible team for the recommendations on the heirloom tomatoes and pizza bread, followed by an incredible lasagna. But the after dinner amaros brought this experience from a 8 to a 10. Shout out Juan for introducing us to this place and continuing to bring exceptional service.More infoIl BruttoPrice: Expensive• Italian• East Austin•4.6

- GGianineAustin •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWow…the food was outstanding. It arrived kind of cold, though the place was packed so I assume the wait staff was slammed. It is a very loud restaurant so if you’re going for an intimate or romantic meal, this would not be the place.More infoCanjePrice: Expensive• Caribbean• East Austin•4.9
