Brutto London Reviews
This restaurant is an absolute Train Wreck.
We had a reservation at 6:15. Our guests arrived at 6:20 and we were seated in a fairly empty dining area when first approached by the waitress. The bar, however, was quite full. We ordered cocktails which appeared about 20 minutes later and ord
Mediocre food with disinterested and occasionally rude staff
Almost everyone who works there, from the maitre d to the waiting staff, appears annoyed to have to deal with customers. And a few times that strayed into being outright rude. The food was average. The sort of dishes you'd get at any local
What a delight.
The food, wine, and all of the staff were fantastic. I had the Ricotta and Smoked Kale with a glass of the red wine the server recommended. Perfect. I look forward to coming back.
Best lasagna and tiramisu I've ever had! Ambiance is great
Best lasagna and tiramisu I've ever had! Ambiance is great too. Wasn't blown away by the gnocchi, not bad but not great enough to order again.
Very noisy, and salty food.
If even at lunch you like to shout, to hardly be able to hear what the person sitting opposite you is saying, and like a lot of salt with your food, this place is ideal. The assertion that the restaurant is vegetarian friendly is misplaced and there
Such high hopes but greatly over rated.
I had been looking forward to trying Brutto for some time but with such appalling service from very rude surly waitresses I’m not sure I would go back. One of them spilt a glass of wine over my friend and didn’t even apologise! 😳 The food was
Ella as hostess and Dashawn as bartender/ liaison.
Great attitudes. Real kind and genuine. Cared. Food was great. Drinks were picked right by D. I never do dessert, but it was called for. Espresso, tiramisu, and got blessed with the chocolate gellato. Real people. Great food. You can't fake
Bring a megaphone and earplugs.
We live local and have been meaning to try Brutto for some time. Wednesday evening and the place was rammed. As several others have said here, tightly packed tables and VERY loud pumped music - do I really want Yes' "Owner of a lonely heart
YUM!! Mariah was sooo great, such a queen.
The food was amazing. Recommend the crostini, the agnoloti, and the canoli! The vibes are so cute and the patio is great!
Average at best.
Brutto has a good atmosphere with friendly staff, the negronis are great ! I am sorry to say that the food is very average and expensive, the oxtail ragu had hardly any meat and was over seasoned. Brutto advertise that they play an eclectic collectio

Dashawn was amazing! He was attentive and helpful with dividing our check! Loved the food, I recommend ordering the Pistachio icecream.
Best Italian in Farringdon area
A great location as slightly ‘off grid’ - nice quiet street in Farringdon. Excellent menu - all Italian food and wow stunning - 100% superb - the tomato and vodka pasta to die for. Genuinely authentic Italian Restaurant - one of the best in my
Exceptional
The service, food, and drinks are quite exceptional here. Knowledgeable, friendly, staff, amazing flavours, a great vibe, and £5 negronis. I would recommend Brutto to anyone.

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
Middle aged lady with short hair
My family—my wife, our toddler, our baby, and I—visited this so called restaurant to meet friends, and it was a dreadful experience, largely due to the appalling service led by the owner/manager, a middle-aged woman with short hair. From the mome

Service seems to be going downhill
Similar to other reviews, it seems the staff are not friendly or welcoming. We were moved once sat down with no explanation and felt like we had done something wrong by simply arriving for dinner . We sat in the middle, with staff knocking us as the

Mariah was excellent! Highly recommend the zucchini pizza, broccolini, and lamb pasta.
Delicious pizza! This is an upscale dining, with the prices.
Make sure to make a reservation.
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!
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
The food was amazing.
The lamb ragu and burrata pizza were stand outs for the night! Don't forget to get the tiramisu! Mariah was an excellent server and had great recommendations!
Great food and perfect service from Mariah.
The lamb ragu and Burrata pizza was amazing.
Great neighborhood bar.
Our server, Dashawn had great drink recommendations and excellent service!
Loved it
Family birthday celebration for six, couldn’t fault it. The waitress was superb and attentive. The food was wonderful Looking forward to our return
Good food but don’t expect to hear your fellow diners.
The food was very good. Unfortunately the constant music was far too loud,and not even Italian. This made conversation very difficult. We asked a couple of times for the volume to be turned down, without success. We suggested an important part of

Authentic, loud, in your face Trattoria with great food, negronis, negronis, negronis, happy people, the best tunes and a cool dog. You know the table we want next time. Fantastic night, thanks so much Brutto people. P and L
Nice food, vile manager
This restaurant has to be the least accommodating place I’ve ever visited. We arrived to meet friends at 17:15, for a 17:30 booking and were looked up and down and sent away as they weren’t open yet. How were we meant to know that?! The customer
Book elsewhere!!!!
This was my fourth visit to this restaurant and it will certainly be my last!!! The manager is extremely rude. There are many other restaurants in the area that you should visit before coming here, where the manager will be more welcoming.
The food was incredible.
I ordered the Cacio de Pepe and it was delicious. Our server Katie was so gracious and offered great recommendations. She was so personable and made our experience memorable. We love this place!

Had the best pasta and pizza of my life, both of which were fresh and made in house. Food service was also amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone in Austin.

Had a birthday dinner here while visiting Austin and was extremely delighted with the food and ambience! Everything we tried was delicious and well made. Chili oil on the side was fantastic and everything tasted very authentic.

I want to start off by saying that I love Il Brutto and have had great experiences there. However, my most recent visit was one of the worst services I've ever had. We were with a large group (9 people) due to it being my birthday, which I understand
I am not easily impressed by Italian restaurants or pasta
I am not easily impressed by Italian restaurants or pasta dishes. To be fair, I am not a fan of pasta at all. It is never something I willingly order. It was a Saturday night and we needed a last minute reservation + II Brutto was able to seat my fri
Disappointing
Really disappointed to write this as have been to Brutto on many occasions during the last few years and was one of my favourite places to go. Not any more unfortunately. The food is still ok however what lets it down massively are the staff. The fr
This restaurant is Art.
From the cocktails to the appetizers to the hand-made pastas to the desserts, it was a pleasure every step of the way. Amazing service. Beautiful ambiance. Allie G was such an attentive and kind bartender/server. We want to come back as soon as possi
My friend and I came here before a night out for dinner.
We made a reservation and we were sat at the bar. For our first drink we got the Tazza Rabarbaro which honestly wasn't our favorite as it did kind of have a bitter taste. Thought there was going to be strawberry as part of the flavoring but seemed to
MAMMMMMA MIA! Incredible ambiance.
Charismatic service. DELIGHTFUL pasta. Our first time here did not disappoint. If you have withdrawals from Italy - this is your place. ***if it's a hot day, ask for the chilled red**** ***if it's any day, ask for ya girl Katie****

First time visiting Il Brutto and had an excellent experience. The ambiance was incredible followed by the most delicious food. To top it off our waitress Katie was exceptional! She was attentive, friendly, and was super helpful with recommendations
The food is always on point and the drinks and wine
The food is always on point and the drinks and wine awesome!!! The servers are always super accommodating too. I'd come back for happy hour or have a dinner date here since the decor says, dress up!
Great food but …
I have given 4 rather 5 stars to reflect my overall experience . The food is great and the staff accommodating and efficient. What didn’t I like? The music is way, WAY too loud. We all go out to eat as a social occasion and the level of music here
Dreadfully loud music
The food is very nice, mainly authentic northern Italian, with a very well chosen wine list. However, in all our very numerous trips to Italy (3 to Venice in the last 12 months) we have NEVER experienced music so loud that our (charming) waitress co
A typical London absurdity
Nonsense. Three small toasts with a bean spread - £9. Easily made at home for 20p. Sliced beef - tough, arrived cold. £22, tiny portion. Lulled into their web with the headline £5 negronis - don’t be fooled, that price is baked into the overinfl
Always a delight
Great food, atmosphere, service. Probably the best restaurant in London at the moment. Simplicity done well. Consistently.
Nice food but pricey
Great service, fresh food and good atmosphere. A busy restaurant on a Wednesday lunchtime is a good sign. I would probably avoid the 1pm risotto next time (just rice and peas, very bland) and overall I thought it was pricey for what it was but each t
Fabulous Dinner
This was my 6th visit and I wanted to share this experience with Jon, my fiance. We had table 34, which is my favourite as it is bang in the middle of the restaurant. I had a £5 Negroni, which was delicious and we shared a plate of "cuddles&quo
Connect with users posting reservations for Brutto London
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Brutto London. 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
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
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 Brutto London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Brutto London 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
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Brutto London 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 MaternalRecord73 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, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73'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 Brutto London!
* 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.
