Three of us ordered: lasagna
, the short rib and linguine with clams. All three were good , not outstanding in any way but we did enjoy the wines and the appetizers ( fried calamari and shrimp & calamari) which with their sauces were delicious. Other than that it's a decent Italian restaurant and the service was good.

We really love Branca and I am so happy to have a restaurant right here in bushnells basin. We visit several times a year- it is our “ go to”. The food and service is reliable. I have never once had bad service or a bad meal. I did not rate the food as “ exceptional” bc there aren’t many dishes that “ knock it out of the park” BUT it’s always good!!! With that being said - we visit all the time so I could just be used to the dishes!...read full review
We were out and about and decided on a whim to stop into Branca for dinner. We sat at the bar. Good choice once again! Brittany is the best bartender. Food was great. Three 👍 👍 👍 up

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.
