I highly recommend if you want to dine here you must reserve through calling or online for those that don’t want to eat outside. Other than that the food is phenomenal! I recommend getting there meatballs as well as their carbonara pasta during Saturday lunch! Our server drew was phenomenal in taking care of us. Would definitely come back and highly reccomend to anyone in DFW who loves pasta!

First of all. The entire staff is fantastic. From the time you walk in, you know you are welcome here. The bartenders here are great, notably Jacob and Monica who are very helpful in explaining some of the menu items I had questions on.
I got the Sicilian crudo, which is a fantastic appetizer to get since it is light and refreshing. The seafood was very fresh.
I opted for a second appetizer, the meatballs, which are a very generous portion of meatballs that are as good or better than Lavo (NYC, LA, LV, Singapore).
Can't wait for their Scottsdale location to open.

Super chic and cute place! The food and service were okay. The servers didn’t really greet us when we sat down and immediately ask us what we wanted to drink. When I tried to get the servers attention it felt like she was trying to run away because she avoided eye contact. I had high hopes for this place because of all the reviews but truly disappointed.

I have to amend my review for the following reason. As soon as I posted my review below I received a call from the restaurant who apologized and offered to refund my lunch. I thanked them and refused the refund as I did eat the very tasty chicken. They then offered to send me a coupon to return at my convenience to give them another try which i accepted. Class restaurant !!
First time here. Early lunch at 11:15am. By 11:30-11:45 place was crowded. We were seated right away. At first it was a nice atmosphere but as more people came in it became so noisy you couldn’t have a comfortable conversation at your table. Service was excellent. No complaints! My wife loved her meatball sandwich so nothing to say about that. Here were my issues. Ordered chicken piccata for $27. Don’t like kale so I subbed with a caesar salad. Got two very small pieces of chicken with piccata sauce and a small salad with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs on top. My first bite of the salad was like eating a mouthful of sand. The crumbs were so crunchy it ruined the salad. They quickly gave me a new salad with no crumbs ( thanks) but it tasted like anything but a caesar salad. The piccata was very tasty but very small portion. So 3oz of chicken and a lousy tasting salad for $27. Way too much!! Lastly they have no room inside if you need to wait for a table.

The food is fresh and delicious. For appetizers we ordered fried artichokes and the focaccia. Both were extremely good. The whipped ricotta that came with the focaccia was slightly sweet and paired perfectly with the bread.
The entrees ordered were the Caio e Pepe, Eggplant Parm, and NY Strip Steak. Obviously Caio e Pepe has tons of black pepper in the dish, but was too peppery for my taste. The Eggplant Parm was delicious (not as crispy as I thought) but difficult to eat because it was extremely hot since it came to the table in an al clad stainless steel baker. I guess it’s great if you like your entree piping hot through out your entire meal. My husband loved his steak with the salsa verde, which was fresh and garlicky.
Dessert was ice cream with pistachios and olive oil. This was not our favorite. The ice cream was perfect, so light and airy. I accidentally got a spoon of olive oil and it wasn’t pleasant. Otherwise, the meal was fresh and delicious overall.
The service was top notch. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Water glass filled to the top before half empty. Plates were cleared pretty quickly.
I would come back to try more dishes. Make a reservation for dinner though!
This place cannot accommodate large parties. They will claim they can over the phone but once you get there all of a sudden they’re unsure if they can. We waited there for over an hour and ended up leaving.. don’t make promises you know you cant keep.
Restaurant Reviews
I have to give a huge shoutout to Il Bracco in Dallas for the incredible transformation in cleanliness throughout the entire restaurant. The difference is night and day compared to the past.
From the moment you walk in, you can see (and feel) the difference — the kitchen gleams with cleanliness, the floors are spotless, and even the bar area is immaculate, with not a trace of grime or sticky residue. The drains are fresh, the floors are shining, and no detail is overlooked.
And the bathrooms? Absolutely pristine. You can tell that a serious professional cleaning program is now in place — and it's working.
It’s refreshing to see a restaurant raise its standards this high. Il Bracco isn’t just serving great food — they’re serving it in one of the cleanest environments in Dallas.
Kudos to the team behind the scenes making it happen every night. 👏

Best Italian American restaurant in Dallas. Highlights include their burger (yes really) eggplant Parm, and the plaza salad. Don't forget their frozen Il Bracco drink and an Italian ice cream sunday to finish.

I thought the stand out was the crispy artichoke appetizer. It was so good we ordered a second one! The service was friendly and attentive. The drinks were chilled and very enjoyable, especially on that very hot day.
