"Maybe the £5 Negronis will make you think, “Brutto gets it”. Or the heaped bowl of grated parmesan that arrives wordlessly with the tagliatelle al ragu. Or the gargantuan hunk of luscious, bitter tiramisu that comes later. Whether you’re sitting at the gorgeous bar for an in-and-out lunch, or hunkering down in a room that’s hard to leave, so much about this Farringdon-via-Florence restaurant is easy to fall totally in love with. Look, this isn’t New York. Nobody wants to eat dinner at 10pm, so get organised. Reservations are released 14 days in advance at 9:30am and, if that doesn’t come off, push notifications for cancellations are recommended. That said, Brutto’s bar is one of the best around. Walk in and linger with a Negroni." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
