Branca Reviews
This was our first visit and it was a birthday dinner. The highlight of the night were two peroni draft beers. The pizza was good but we have had much better lasagna. The lasagna was a small portion and the pasta was very doughy and over cooked with minimal fillings. The prices are very high for what you get. Our server was not very attentive. Our water glasses were not filled and dirty dishes were left on our table. We will have to decide if we would return. Not sure...read full review

Branca is a restaurant that offers a nice atmosphere without being too fancy. The menu features a variety of appetizers, including prosciutto pizza, calamari, arancini, and butternut burrata, which are all described as tasty. The pasta dishes, such as the deconstructed Lasagna, have a unique texture, and the chicken entree is decent, with the polenta being particularly good. The veal meatballs are superb and can be enjoyed with spaghetti squash. The service is attentive, and the specialty cocktails, along with the wood-fired pizzas, are also well-received. Happy hour, from 4 to 6 on weekdays, is a great value for both food and drink in the bar area, but it gets busy, so arriving early is recommended.
The restaurant provides a good dining experience, though the quality may vary compared to other locations. It is also a great choice for special events, as noted by customers who appreciated the planning assistance and outstanding customer service. The food overall is very good, with the octopus being tender and the ricotta appetizer being enjoyable. The dock and short ribs dishes were also praised by customers. The drinks were on point, and the atmosphere was nice, with a fire pit outdoors. However, there were some issues with the linguine and clams dish, as the addition of pecorino cheese was not considered authentic. Despite this, the restaurant is still recommended by customers.
