Welcome Bruto: Avondale’s New Italian-Inspired Café!
Hey there, Avondale! Have you heard the buzz? A brand new café has just opened its doors, and it’s called Bruto. Nestled on 4th Avenue South, this Italian-inspired gem officially launched on March 25, and it’s already making waves in the local food scene!
A Fresh Addition to Avondale Mills
Bruto is the latest addition to the Avondale Mills shopping center, right around the corner from the beloved Mom’s Basement. You might remember that Mom’s Basement had to take a step back in 2020 due to COVID restrictions. But during that time, the creative team behind Mom’s Basement shifted gears and started whipping up some delicious pizzas, paving the way for this exciting culinary expansion.
Bruto is not just about pizza, though. It reflects the owners’ dreams and aspirations to broaden their culinary horizons, bringing a whole new range of flavors to the table. Can you just imagine the possibilities?
Inviting Atmosphere
The first thing you’ll notice when you walk into Bruto is the inviting atmosphere. Picture this: bright yellow chairs gathered around a spacious community table, along with cozy seating tucked away in the corner, making it the perfect spot for those intimate meet-ups or catching up with friends. Plus, the interior is an art lover’s paradise! Curated by the owners themselves, the collection features personal items, signs from old Birmingham businesses, creations from talented local artists, and treasures discovered at estate sales. All these elements come together beautifully, heightened by an abundance of natural light filtering in through large windows.
A Menu to Savor
Now, let’s talk about what really gets us excited—the menu! At Bruto, you’ll find scrumptious homemade focaccia, delightful sourdough, and a delightful blend of European-inspired dishes mixed with Southern favorites. There’s something for everyone! If you’re looking for a centerpiece to your meal, you can’t go wrong with their Italian Hoagie. And let’s not forget about the T.M.P. sandwich—that stands for turkey, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, and house-made basil pesto—a combination that’s bound to make your taste buds dance with joy!
And if you have a sweet tooth, one of the owners recommends trying a blueberry scone. It’s the perfect treat to pair with your coffee as you savor Bruto’s inviting ambiance.
A Growing Community of Eats
Bruto isn’t standing alone in the Avondale spotlight. It joins the likes of Lag’s Eatery, making waves on the east side of Birmingham’s culinary scene. The owners at Bruto believe that the growth of local restaurants is a fantastic boon for the area, fostering a vibrant community where food lovers can come together and indulge in mouthwatering meals.
