We love some of the appetizers like the Steak Tartare and the Sicilian Crudo. The standout entre this time was the One Sheet Lasagna Special which was delicious and something we had not tried before.

il Bracco is my favorite restaurant in Dallas, but they completely exceeded my expectations this time - if that was even possible. I brought my sister and her boyfriend who are visiting from atlanta, and got engaged 24 hours prior, and the waitress brought them champagne to celebrate their engagement and olive oil ice cream for her birthday next week. The food was amazing as always, but the waitress went above and beyond to make them feel so so special, and they left raving about their entire experience. I already loved il Bracco, but the way they treated my sister and her boyfriend last night made me love them even more!!

Hi Amber, Congratulations to your sister and her fiancé and thank you for choosing to celebrate with us. We hope to see you again soon!
