Il Brutto

Italian restaurant · Pershing

"The restaurant in the hubbub of East Sixth boasts a large shady patio for people-watching plus the occasional live music, and super-fresh handmade pasta. The lamb ragu pappardelle is a great order (even to-go), or snack on charcuterie and wood-fired pizzas over cocktails. Don’t miss creative decadent desserts like the ricotta semifreddo. Dine indoors only if you have to because the patio is killer." - Erin Russell
