The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
With its shiny teal walls and fairy-light-strung patio, Il Brutto is anything but ugly. The menu is dedicated to classic Italian dishes like squid ink tagliolini (don’t even think about asking for Parmesan!) and delightfully crisp-edged wood-fired pizzas, perfect with a glass or two of spumante.
