Great spot for a nice dinner with friends, date night, or even a business dinner! Food is always delicious, cocktails to die for, and a wonderful wine list. I love to sit at the bar for dinner, but a table setting is def nice with a larger group

I came here for a dinner with friends and the food was phenomenal. Meatballs and crispy artichokes for starters, spicy vodka pasta for my 2nd course, and the star of the show - the center cut filet with polenta and heirloom carrots. This went down as one of the best meals I’ve had at a restaurant in a long time. The steak was cooked perfectly, medium rare on the inside with a perfect crust on the outside. The polenta it rested on had the perfect balance of flavors, and the carrots with the ricotta were almost like a meal in and of themselves.We finished the night with an ice cream dessert that also blew my mind, with pistachios on top and an extra virgin olive oil drizzle. I should also mention that I’m gluten free and the server gave me tons of options to choose from, including GF pasta that tasted just like the real thing.Pair all of the above with a great atmosphere and friendly service, and this place is a true winnerDietary restrictions: GF friendly

If you are looking for the "vibe" this is the place to be. All the servers are amazing. The chicken piccata will change your life. Then finsh off your meal with an espresso martinis, and get a second one to go!

Wonderful food and experience every time we go. Get the burrata salad, chicken piccata, and polenta. The cappuccino comes with a chocolate and pistachio biscotti that is wonderful

Beautiful setting.Host was very kind and accommodating! Our 1st time there and the entire staff was welcoming, smiling and very knowledgeable on the menu. They made great recommendations and as a result my husband and I have now been there 3x this month. Efran & Quiana are lovely :)Outstanding restaurant in Dallas!

I’ve been to better Italian places in Dallas, but this spot wasn’t bad. I thought my pasta was average. The crudo was good (most places in Dallas don’t mess crudo up anyways though).Dessert was good. Espresso martini was average. Really good service and the interior is cool! If I return, it’s for the vibes (not the food).

I live in Houston and have been to il Bracco before, but it is always a great choice when traveling. I usually stay with the salmon entree with and love the grilled vegetables whatever the rotation is.On this last visit i requested an Affogato even though it was not on the menu for dessert. So pleased when they obliged!!This was a visit with colleagues so no photos, but just know that the meal was amazing, service was outstanding, and the dessert was over the top perfection.

Great Italian cuisine. We started with some drinks from the bar. They are so amazingly prepared. The beef tartare is a great appetizer to starter and so is the burrata. The cioppino special was perfect.The veggie tempura appetizer is amazing!The Bolognese is incredible. Great pasta and meat sauce.The sandwiches are just incredible.Service is always superb.

I could not brag enough about this restaurant! It's amazing! The bartender was making an old fashion. I made a request to mirror how I made mine. He listened and made it just like mine. He tasted it and said it was amazing! Love the personal touch! I highly recommend the meatball appetizer!!!!

We had a great experience at il Bracco celebrating my fiancée’s birthday. Sarah, our waiter, did a great job handling food allergies that we had and making sure we were taken care of. All of the food we had was delicious – we highly recommend the spicy gemelli, NY strip, and focaccia bread. The restaurant was buzzing for a Wednesday night. We’ll be back!

Went to il Bracco for the first time last night for my birthday dinner. We had Sarah as a waitress and she was amazing and so kind. I have food allergies so trying new restaurants can be intimidating. Sarah made me feel so comfortable and safe with my order! Food was delicious!

Busy Friday night dinner. We had focaccia and steak tartare as our appetizers, which we all enjoyed. The focaccia bread was salty. The tartar steak was very good with horse radish mixed in. I had the spicy gemelli pasta which was good, but I wished I had ordered something with more flavor. I tasted the bolognese and it was very good. I had a Menabrea blonde ale to drink which was excellent with everything. We had tiramasu for dessert and it was outstanding with amazing mocha and espresso flavors layered with cream. Service was top notch and subtly attentive. Atmosphere is very pleasant with a nice outdoor patio (we ate inside). Overall, we had a very nice experience. I will go back to try some other dishes in the future.

Impeccable service. If you want to be treated like royalty, dine at il Bracco. I ordered Canvas Back red wine, crispy artichokes, ricotta cheese Foccatia, and spicy gemelli pasta. The wine and food were delicious, and the atmosphere is perfect for a date or an intimate group dinner. The waiter was attentive, kind, professional. We were super impressed with how everyone went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of.
