    Always enjoy eating at Branca, they're so good at making everything happen smoothly, and the food is always delicious and a very varied choice of veggie, meat, or fish. Our waiter was charming and kind too.

    Early dinner before comedy at Oxford Playhouse - what could be better 🎯. Great team looked after us very well and the food was delicious. Light, tasty and wide ranging menu. Bright, sparky and attentive waiters couldn't have been better. Panettone bread and butter pudding is out of this world ...

    We had birthday celebration and got table for 8 by the door, was cold not atmospheric. Some main were okay, some not. Drinks were very good, desserts not great. 3 guests had upset stomach after dinner. We had great meals there before but this time not so much, sorry but won't be rushing back soon.

    This is a nice comfortable venue, good food friendly service and for Oxford reasonable value. The only disappointment was the burger, not great meat, some grissly bits in there. The venison special was delicious as was the fish stew.
