The restaurant is beautiful dim lit ambiance. The food was amazing, especially the vegetarian lasagna. Hopefully they put it on the permanent menu. The wine selection is decent for by glass. Espresso martini was so so good. Tiramisu was very rich, extra strong on coffe flavor and liquor. Ricotta was very nice. Server was on point. I believe his name was George?! I wished I remembered better.

I love this place. I always feel taken care of when I come to Il Bracco. The staff is outstanding and deserves kudos because this place is always busy, especially during lunch. Thank you for all you guys do and making it an outstanding dining experience each time! Foodwise, the chicken piccata and the spicy gemili pasta is AMAZING!! Also, order the artichoke appetizer. It is divine! And finish off with tiramisu!!

Loved our birthday luncheon with the girls! Everything was great. They actually have a fabulous gluten free pasta, that was amazing. Great vibe, noisy, noisy, but hard to have a vibe when it’s quiet. We will definitely come back here and maybe bring our husbands. 5 stars.

It was EXTREMELY noisy--to the point where it was impossible to communicate with my single, across the table, guest. The food was exceptional, especially whatever was in the salad, and the chicken piccata super tender and delicious.
