Bar Brucato l Brucato Amaro

Amazing restaurant! The food was amazing and the service was over the top! Didn't know what Amaro was but it is quite delicious and they make outstanding cocktails with it. The spicy lamb meatballs are a must and the pasta is amazing. Also the crispy chewy chicken skins are perfect! Can't wait to go back!

Took the distillery tour here recently and was super impressed by their amaros and by their cocktails and appetizers. Cheddar coins had a great paprika punch, and the chicken-fat fried fingerlings had great crunch and went well with the hot sauce and toasty rosemary served with it. But the bread and cacio e pepe butter? AMAZING. We had to have two rounds. Also went home with a bottle of the delicious Woodlands amaro.

Went the first night they were open to the public. Service was amazing and the food was really great. Ate 3 courses. The bread is a must! Desserts were unexpectedly interesting - not just phoning it in with "here's some sorbet".

We stopped here without reservations and were fortunate to be seated at the bar. That resulted in an enjoyable chat with the friendly staff. Each small plate we tasted was exquisite and the drinks also excelled. Pleasant ambiance. Strongly recommend.

We've had 2 fantastic visits at Bar Brucato and can't wait to go back again. First of all, the spirits are each unique and delicious on their own (I highly recommend the flight). That said, the fun doesn't end there. Every drink on the cocktail menu is delicious - and each of them features one of their in-house spirits, of course. They have variants of classics as well as inspired original cocktails. There's something for everyone, even tasty non-alcoholic cocktails. During our first visit, we had some very tasty snacks like the cheese pennies and spiced almonds while we admired the heavenly smells from the kitchen. On our second visit, we ate dinner as well, and the food tastes just as exceptional as it smells. All of the dishes were incredible. We would be happy to eat all of them again. Bar Brucato is a lovely addition to our neighborhood, and we're so happy to have them!

Had a lovely meal at Bar Brucato! Retro modern interior with a cozy ambience and good service and food. A little sad octopus is served on the menu, but perfect otherwise!

Classy place. There’s a distillery here you can tour. Amaros are amazing. NA options are available

Amazing!! I knew I would be getting some outstanding cocktails but the food was tremendous as well. Super friendly service, gorgeous design. Will be going often!

Combining a distillery with fine dining is a genius idea . Bottom floor is the tasting , top floor is where you dine . As you walk up the stairs , it feels like you are entering a fancy treehouse . The plants are a great addition. Brucato focuses on capturing the essence of different California regions in each of its amaro expressions. -Chaparral : herbal with notes of Yerba Santa -Orchid : fruity notes from Central Valley of apricot , walnut , cinnamon -woodlands : represents the redwoods and oak forest with a chocolate undertones I'd recommend going for the high ball and mixer if you don't want drink as much For food , the crispy chicken skin add home made mango have rep hot sauce was my favorite. Perfectly crispy with some spice . Octopus on skewer was tender . Butter bean was added in to fill you up . Server was great in filling our water and asking what we need . Food: chickpea panissa ras el hanout, meyer lemon aioli gribenes chewy & crispy baked chicken skins, caraway, fried onion octopus confit skewer chaparral tomato glaze, butter beans,

Brucato Amaro was visited midweek and before the sun went down. Off the bat I witnessed a loby with a table that seemed abandoned after a tasting, an elevator snd stairs that went up to the dining area. It's a cozy area with a nine seat bar and approximately eight tables. There's front section that seems dedicated to selling merch. The service was warm and on target throughout my dining experience. I had the superb house bread which is a steamy puffy masterpiece. The cacio a pepe butter is served like a swathe of beige paint the plate. The burrata was quite tasty but needing a knife to cut through it was not optimal. I had the flight of amaros and while they were all distinct and tasty my preference would for them to be chilled. I would come back; it was good, promising too.

Stopped by second week of open and had an amazing time! The home made bread and butter was incredible (baked to order), and the desserts were a standout as well. The amaro flight is a must try on your first visit to get a taste of each of their varieties. Cocktails were all fun too and some solid non alcoholic choices as well for non-drinkers. We ordered each of their entrees and they were all wonderful - the sardine pasta was our fave, and the lamb riblets, veggie gnochetti and hangar steak were all great. Only complaint was portions were kind of small and slightly underseasoned on the steak. Servers were extremely friendly. Only knock was we had to wait 15 minutes past our reservation time for our table as the previous table hadn't cleared up yet. We were a group of four so there wasn't really space at the bar and we kind of awkwardly stood around the intimate dining area. We weren't the only group that had to wait for their table, but the staff were very apologetic and explained that table booking times were based on 90 minute seating and are gonna correct that soon, so hopefully service flows better! We all agreed we'd definitely be back for after dinner drinks and dessert in the future, and to check out the distillery once it opens next month! Solid start and hopefully with time, service and food continues to get better and better~

This distillery has no business serving such good food. Like yes - the Amaro they make are each so unique and fantastic and the cocktails they make with them are superb. But the food?! Why? Who asked you to bring out such beautifully plated food that actually tasted as good as it looked? Why was the service so chill and yet attentive? And why is that upstairs bathroom so damn cute? Yes - the bathroom. Don't lie and say you don't judge restaurant bathrooms, dear reader. Anyway, I hate that this place will be taking all my money and that I'll have to bring everyone I know here. Ugh. See you again soon.

Cocktail menu, food menu, and beers available so you can enjoy whatever you feel like for the night. Cocktails made with the three Amari, distilled right here on the bottom floor. Enter on street level and the restaurant and bar are upstairs Private dining room available for events Check out the wall shelf. You can buy the amaro bottles to take home for Mixing your own drinks or enjoy as is. Three to choose from and each go with different liquors (woodland [recommended with whiskey], chaparall [mezcal], orchard). Each has their own unique flavor profile. Try to see what you like! You can try each in a mixed cocktail from the bar. Some food items also incorporate the Amaro into it. How fun to try. Also cute merch like sweaters and caps and bar tools Food- -sun choke toast: delightful. Sunflower seeds and sprouts on a piece of warm toast -octopus Confit skewer: this uses their chaparall amaro for glaze! If you want to try the amaro in food -lamb riblets: if you're feeling a little meaty -gribenes: crispy baked chicken skins, good appetizer to with some drinks if you want something to munch on

Went here for a birthday dinner and enjoyed every bite! The menu is farm to table and limited which I enjoyed! They encourage sharing multiple plates and bring things out with time between platings. They also use the farm to table approach to their amaro and use local and seasonal ingredients to make everything in house! Would definitely come back.

I've been waiting for Brucato to open up, and it didn't disappoint! Housed in an upstairs nook of Brucato's distillery, the space has a sort of intimate neighborhood feel -- none of that warehouse-brutalist thing that you sometimes get in places attached to booze production facilities. Starting with the drinks: We had five or six between the two of us, and they all landed well. The tish tang o tang and the egg cream were favorites. While obviously Amaro is in everything, the menu had a lot of range. The food is mostly small plates and fancy bar snacks. Gribenes were excellent -- just the right level of crispiness and spicing to make fried chicken skins feel light. Sunchoke toast was solid, as was the kohlrabi salad and the corzetti. Octopus Confit was super tender.

Amazing drinks, amazing food! Great space! I've been 3 times and will definitely return with more friends.

Inaccurate website and hours. Came to visit at 630pm this Sunday July 6. Closed with no information outside or on their website or Instagram page.

Really great drinks and a fantastic rotating food menu. The staff was wonderful and it's a lovely venue. Check it out!

Beautiful bright indoor space with friendly staff, definitely worth a visit. Great addition to the neighborhood.

Wonderful beverages (of course!) but the big surprise was the food - amazing! Staff and service were impeccable, all inside a beautiful space. Can't wait to go back.

New place doing something interesting. Go check it out. If you know amari, get the flight. If you know your cocktails, get that thing you like. They're happy to talk to you about the drinks because they know what they're doing

Excellent experience. Affable and helpful staff. Delectable amari and cocktails. And delicious food. We tried almost everything in the menu, the standouts for us were the homemade warm out-of-the-oven bread with cacio e pepe butter, the amazingly delicious kohlrabi salad, the sunchoke, toast, the gribenes, and the pici con le sarde. We were going to try the hanger steak that we heard such good things about but we were pretty full by this time and so we decided to have some ice cream and sorbet instead. Yummy burnt honey, ice cream and delicious preserved Meyer lemon sorbet! We will go back to try the rest of the choices on the menu. Absolutely recommend the amari flight and try any cocktail in the menu.
