Served raw chicken still charged $20 for the old fashioned I ordered with it. I asked is it normal to make guest pay for $20 drink after they’ve consumed completely raw chicken. Manager said it’s hotel policy you have to pay for anything you consume, nothing they could do except offer me more food but who wants to eat at a place they just were served raw chicken at? Like, what??? Would not recommend.

As expected from this restaurant group, well-known by their other restaurants in the city, the food is absolutely delicious. The pastas are perfectly cooked, and the portions are very generous.
For fans of Costera and Osteria Lupo, the menu will be very familiar. But the consistency is key, and great Italian food is a nice addition for the area.

Fantastic Italian restaurant with a great ambience. On Friday nights, they now have live jazz singer and it’s a great experience.

Food was great but service was rough. We had a party of 12 – understandable that there will be delays. We made a reservation a few weeks ahead of time.
Service during the meal was on the slower side but fine not a big deal. Food was delicious. Good sized portions of pasta.
Then, the server came to ask if we were together or separate. I know splitting a check across a big group is not the easiest but it’s also too expensive for one person to pay. So we asked to split the check. It took the server a solid 25 minutes if not longer to figure out how to split the check. Someone at our table had even taken the receipt and split it for her so it would be easier. And she was right behind us and we even offered to have someone read off and help her.
By no means did we have 5 items a person. I think each person had 1 drink and 1 entree. Pretty straight forward. Again, i 100% know things run slower with a bigger party but this was actually ridiculously slow.
Anyway – beware if you’re heading there with a large group. Unfortunately not a lot of dinner places in NOLA easily accommodate this size.

When we made the reservation for Saturday lunch and walked in, it was empty. Not a single guest was there and that made us feel anxious. After having our meal, I understood why the restaurant was empty…

This review is mainly a heads up for guests at The Barnett Hotel, which the restaurant is attached to and shares a lobby with.
My husband and I just stayed for 5 days in NOLA at the Barnett. We ordered from Brutto Americano 3 times.
The first night we stayed (Sunday), we had dinner and drinks in the restaurant and it was 7/10 on taste, presentation and service, though price was on the higher side. We had a male waiter who was kind and when asked if we could take our tiramisu dessert to go, he did not hesitate and brought our dessert nicely packaged for us to enjoy in our room.
Monday morning, we were quite tired from traveling so we figured we would eat breakfast in. I called down to place an order “to go” so we could eat and enjoy our slow morning in our room. When I asked to place an order to pick up, the lady who answered the phone just said “we don’t do that here”, and when I asked for clarification, she said they don’t do “to go” orders. So I hung up and went about my day, understanding that it’s a new restaurant and perhaps new staff still training who maybe misunderstood a policy. No big deal. But seriously, what kind of restaurant, especially one that is IN A HOTEL, does not let you order something in a to go box to eat in your room, five floors up?
Wednesday morning, we decided to eat breakfast in the restaurant. The food was above average, and as we finished up, our waitress asked if we would like to take our remaining food to go and offered us a box.
(In case you didn’t catch on yet, two servers have now offered us to take our food to go after eating IN the restaurant).
Wednesday night (last night 5/7/25), I decided I’d walk down and order another tiramisu to go because it was good and I was craving something sweet. I approached the hostess booth and asked politely to pay for a tiramisu to go. Once again, I get a “you can’t do that here” and I asked why and explained that I had taken my dessert to go a few nights before after our dinner there. And she told me they allowed it because we had eaten in the restaurant. I told her we had dined in again that morning and that I just wanted to have some dessert in my room. She rolled her eyes and huffed as she told me she’d go her her manager (who I didn’t even ask to speak to, mind you) to tell me why I couldn’t order a dessert to eat in my room.
I wait about 5 minutes and the manager comes up to me and says that they “typically don’t allow anything to be purchased for take out” and I explained that other than the fact that I wasn’t sitting at one of their tables, I was a guest at the connected hotel and not some random person coming in off the street to order something to go. She then gave me a silly excuse of “well the tiramisu doesn’t travel well”. I said back to her that it traveled up the elevator 5 floors just fine a few nights before and that I would like to order it regardless. She made some comment about how “as long as (I) was fine with it not traveling well” that they would put the order in for me. I paid my $14 dollars for my tiramisu and she brought it out to me and I went on my way.
So, if you’re a guest, don’t anticipate on having any level of convenience of a restaurant inside your hotel unless you’re happy to sit at a table and not in the comfort of your own space
Also. Be wary that they have an additional 3% up charge on their menu that is “supplementary” to go towards the wage and health care of their kitchen staff? With prices that high, you shouldn’t need to add an additional 3% to everyone’s check to pay your cooks a living wage and give them health insurance. Very “high end” spot, huh?
Lastly, a photo of my tiramisu. It traveled up the elevator and into my room just fine.

The restaurant was as beautiful as Josephine Estelle. Service was great. I highly recommend getting pasta. My favorite pasta is the Mafadale. The papardelle is probably my second favorite. The rigatoni is good as well. I loved the meatballs (5 to an order) and the fried oyster grilled romaine salad. The bread is good, but I think you meal is more enhanced by the other appetizers. The Budino was excellent.

Brutto Americano is an absolute gem! The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between modern and inviting, where a beautiful bar sets the tone for what to expect from the kitchen. The menu is creative and includes flavorful classic like the spicy rigatoni with a bold and elevated sauce. Every plate we tried (and there were 6 of us) had excellent portions and flavors. The cocktails were equally impressive, thoughtfully crafted and dangerously easy to enjoy 🙂 Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Brutto Americano has definitely earned its spot as a standout in the local dining scene. With so many dining options, Brutto is a must try!

I haven’t eaten here yet. But I walked by and it smelled so incredible that I took this photo so I wouldn’t forget to make a reservation the next time I’m in NOLA. It. Smelled. That. Good.

This was my first time staying in New Orleans, and had an excellent dining experience at Brutto Americano. My wife and I did the family-style tasting menu & ordered a bottle of red wine based on our waiter’s recommendation. Everything was absolutely perfect.
From the meal to the overall ambiance, it was the best part of our NOLA trip! We will definitely be coming back here the next time we return to New Orleans 🙂
