Our table ordered two salads (Plaza and Kale/Chicken), meatballs and spicy gemelli. There was a delay bringing the meatballs so they comped them for us plus treated us to our after dinner cappuccinos. The service was above and beyond and of course the food is always delicious. This restaurant is one of our favorites!

The combo was amazing! Plus the spicy gemelli is known on social media to be divine. I would pass on the carciofi alla giudia. Service team was amazing, they all seemed to work together. Nothing in particular seemed to stand out & it was noted we were celebrating a special occasion which was not mentioned by main waitress.

Il Bracco has always been a favorite of ours. The ambiance is just right, the service is spot-on and the cuisine is always delicious! We would rank Il Bracco in the top 5 restaurants in the DFW area.

We had a lovely time at dinner this past weekend. Service was awesome, along with the food. We will definitely be going back. I will say we did make a reservation for the dining room and we’re told it could take 30 minutes to an hour to be sat, which was disappointing.

Way crowded at 5:45 p on Friday. No place to wait inside. Crowded around front door and diners nearby. VERY LOUD. VERY LOUD. Had to talk and repeat convo in raised voices. Screaming kids next to us. Food was very tasty. Probably won’t go back.
