The crispy artichoke stole the show. 10/10, recommend getting them. And thankfully the waitress recommended to add crispy chicken to the spicy gemelli - was the perfect addition!

Really good pasta, wine list and service. Probably in the 3 places in Houston for me to have pasta and drink Italian wine. Very reasonably priced.

What a horrible experience! This is a nice restaurant, don’t take me wrong. However, yesterday’s visit was absolutely horrible. The hostess was simply obnoxious, aggressive and wouldn’t cooperate with any of our requests. First of all, we were told to wait outside until all 5 of us are together. Then she declined our request for a patio seating, where there were still lots of open tables. Eventually a waitress took us there, but it took 20 min just to get there. Then we had to wait another hour and a half for the food to show up. We used to pop in to il Bracco often, especially for lunch, and it was nice. It’s sad to see a good place going down like this.

We enjoyed our meal here. The food was pretty good, but honestly overpriced for what you get. I can’t say it is the best Italian in the area. The Italian sundae was delicious!
