The 5 stars are definitely for the food, both the quality and the presentation of the dishes. My husband and I went to celebrate my birthday, and we started with two appetizers. One of them was the fried artichokes, which I had actually never tried before, and they were absolutely delicious. Definitely one of those dishes you don’t forget. For our main courses, we ordered the pasta with gamberi and the Cacio e Pepe. Both were excellent, but my husband was especially impressed with the Cacio e Pepe. He told me it was just as good as the one he had in Italy, and coming from him, that says a lot! As for the service, I don’t feel it was quite at the same level as the food. Our server was a little cold and very mechanical, and we didn’t feel much warmth or attention. Since it was our first time there, I would have appreciated a little explanation of the menu or some recommendations. I honestly didn’t feel completely comfortable with the service. That being said, I want to be fair because that shouldn’t take away from the quality of the kitchen. The food was truly excellent, beautifully presented, and absolutely deserving of 5 stars.

Went to IL Bracco for our son's birthday. Made a reservation for 8. when we arrived our TABLES were ready. But I didn't want 2 separate tables as this was a reservation for 8. I was never informed of the seating arrangement or that they do not have the ability to seat 8 at 1 table. This made dinner more like 2 separate parties sitting next to each other. It was sooo loud that we couldn't even hear each other to have good conversation. Next was my food. I ordered chicken piccata. It came out as 2 pan fris chicken cutlets with capers and NO PICCATA SAUCE. Upon letting server know, they did apologize and bring sauce to the table but still charged me for it. The side to my chicken was a kale salad which was saturated in dressing and had 2 inches of shredded cheese on it. Lack luster food, toped off with a bill that wasn't justified in my opinion. We tried and we will not be returning.

Celebrated my husband’s birthday yesterday at Il Bracco. The patio is cute with a little fireplace in the corner. The food was flavorful and Debbie provided excellent service. Thank you for making our day extra special!

Such a hidden gem! Came in Saturday night. Kevin took amazing care of us. Gave great recommendations on food and drinks. Started with the house bread so good, ordered the Marsala mushroom pasta with side of baked chicken, lasagna special with side meat balls. Definitely didn’t need to add protein as the portions were large and very tasty. The entire staff was very attentive, didn’t need to ask for any refills and they constantly cleared our dirty dishes. A great date night. The crowd was mixed with couples and family. Free parking lot

Stopped by for solo lunch and quickly seated. I was serviced by the lovely Kendra who was an excellent bartender. The menu is thoughtfully curated with Italian dishes. I had the Italian beef sandwich which was delicious and a generous portion. The frozen greyhound was a hit amongst patrons of the bar and delightful drink in Texas heat. Will be back to try the burger!

First timers here!! We recently had found this restaurant on social media and decided to try it out! First and foremost, we had gotten there a little early for our reservation and it was no trouble, they sat us immediately. We were greeted as soon as we sat down and treated with amazing service. The atmosphere was intimate but also conversational! The food was 10/10 impeccable! I can not recommend this place enough!! We will be back. Our server was Sage, and he was amazing. As well as all the other servers/ waitresses that helped throughout the evening.

This was our first visit to il Bracco, and we were a party of eight. While they couldn’t combine the tables, they thoughtfully arranged them side by side. The food quality was good, though I would have preferred it served at a hotter temperature. For appetizers, we tried the Crispy Artichoke and Homemade Focaccia. The artichoke lacked flavor, and the dip was a bit too salty, but the Focaccia bread was incredibly fresh, and the cheese dip complemented it well. For dinner, the Tuscan Grain salad was exceptional—very aromatic and flavorful. The Pesto Pasta, however, was too al dente and lacked flavor, but the Spicy Gemelli pasta was absolutely delicious. I was looking forward to the Eggplant Parmesan; while the sauce was flavorful, the eggplant could have used a bit more seasoning. For dessert, we chose the cheesecake, which was spot on. Overall, it was a good experience.

The food was good not mind blowing. we ordered meatballs and they were tender 5/5. we all ordered ceaser salad the dressing seemed watered down and had a lot of crunchy roasted parmesan cheese. 4/5. I ordered the spicy pasta, I wish it had a stronger pasta flavor. i ordered crispy chicken on the side and it was tender and juicy. my friend ordered the bolognese and it was good. my other friend had the shrimp pasta and it lacked a signature flavor and again, just good. the service was great by one waiter I wish I got the guys name. he was exceptional. the two ladies helping him did seem to have an attitude but we didn’t have to interact with them much.
