    This is my third visit to the restaurant in the last month. The food is outstanding, especially the tortellini, which is perfectly prepared. The drinks are good, too. It is the best Italian restaurant in Dallas and would be a top restaurant in any US city.

    Today at Il Bracco was fabulous! Four friends enjoying a shared lunch. We had 2 appetizers (now my 2 most favorite) facaccia with whipped ricotta and the meatballs are both stand outs! Ancient Grain salad and the chopped salad are at the top of the salads list. And we had the mushroom pasta which is excellent. We came around 2:30 for a late lunch , very relaxed. Noise level was much better than when you go on a crowded weekend night. But always go. One of my friends thinks it’s better than Lucia’s, that speaks accolades to me. Great place to dine , great location!

    The Charles has the BEST Customer Service, hands down! EVERYONE was super polite, attentive, engaging and personable. Our server, Chelsey, gave the best feedback, learned our names, and even took beautiful pics for us. She's awesome & if she's a trainer for The Charles, then I know more wonderful servers will be produced. The ambiance was gorgeous, nice music, just the right amount of light, and the food was very flavorful. The "off the menu" items were delicious, especially the specialty pasta one of the young ladies made. Definitely a place to try!
