Il Bracco is the perfect place to have a business lunch, the staff is always courteous, the ambience is great and I especially the round booths in the corner which is perfect for having a meaningful discussion. Sometimes the parking is problematic but today it was a snap. The patio is great too!

We had a little bit of a longer wait time but staff was amazing. Every dish was savory and the cocktails were delicious. (Asti 76 is a must) Our first time here but not our last! La vita è bella

Not sure why ill Barco uses a reservation system when we still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. This has happened to us two other times as well. Maybe they should consider using time limits on their reservations to increase turnover.
