    Chicken Parmesan with angel hair

    Our go to spot. Karina the waitress is so so sweet, so kind, and personable. The food is incredible. Simple menu but never misses. Come see what's so great!

    I'm giving abruzzos benefit of the doubt bc they are active and loved in the community. I came here last night with my friend. Service was wonderful, the space was clean, food was plentiful and came out quickly. We shared the spaghetti bolognese and the lobster ravioli. The spaghetti was ok- I'm just not a big fan in general. I would say this was one of the better ones I've had? It was a bit spicy which was fine just unexpected. The salads and garlic bread were pretty standard, nothing special. The lobster ravioli made me sad. I didn't really get lobster flavor and they were still cold in the middle. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which was good. I'm not a big coffee fan which is why i can't say more about that. Yes, i knew that tiramisu had coffee in it when i ordered it. Texture and flavor were decent. It was a bit frozen which was nice texturally but i don't love them freezing stuff, makes it feel not super fresh. I would come back and eat here again. Im also not a huge fan of italian food. Not their fault.

    Second time coming back here! As always so delicious and desserts are amazing!!! I love the 4 Cheese Lasagna

    If I could give this place 6 stars I would!! My husband took me here for a date night and it was such a sweet atmosphere. Our waitress was so kind and very attentive! On top of great service the food was truly amazing. We ordered the bread and spinach artichoke dip 10/10!!! And then we started with the Basil salad, yall this dressing was AMAZING!! All of the ingredients were so fresh and had such bold flavors! I ordered the salmon which was so tasty and the Alfredo which I rate it like a 8/10 (but that's on me Alfredo is not my favorite I panicked when i was ordering ) still very good tho and not too rich! My husband ordered the tour of Italy and WOW!! Chicken Parm was top tier! The fresh crunchy batter was thin and the sauce was rich and savory! He loved the Alfredo and the Bolognese lasagna was incredible! (I have not had bolognese like this since I visited Europe!) They also have free frozen sangria the day we went and we both said it was probably the best sangria we have ever had!! Overall this place was incredible! Fresh ingredients, a kind waitress and speedy service! No complaints here!! We will be becoming regulars!!

    finished cheesecake sorry we didn't have another pic of it we ate it too fast

    Our server Karina was amazing, very attentive and sweet, our food was incredible, we got the lobster ravioli and fettuccine alfredo with chicken, as well as the cheesecake which blew our minds we finished every bit of it!! Definitely coming back

    Have Came here a few times and it never disappoints. It's a small spot with big restaurant energy. They have a lot of wines to try and their house Pinot is delicious. The food is amazing. I've tried. A few things and have enjoyed them all. They're very quick and efficient as well. I placed an order to go and it was out before i could finish my glass of wine.

    Loved the food here. The place is a bit small and the parking isn't great, but the service and food are absolutely worth it. Our server was super nice and attentive. The pasta tasted great, I ordered the Alfredo tortellini. The inside is decorated so pretty and romantic. It's very cozy. Will absolutely be coming back for dinner!

    SERVICE: At…read moreapproximately 6:15pm on Thursday, March 5, 2026, we stopped by Il Bracco. The restaurant was very full, and we only planned to quickly grab a decaf cappuccino and some bread at the bar. I am 36 weeks pregnant. There was one open seat at the bar, and the two people sitting on either side were with other guests and did not appear to be leaving anytime soon. I asked the gentleman who had just stood up if he had closed his tab, and he confirmed that he had. Based on that, and the hostess directing us toward the bar, I sat down while my partner stood next to me. When we went to order a cappuccino, the male bartender immediately told us the bar had a waitlist and that the seat was "reserved." There was no reserved sign, and the guest had literally just vacated the seat. I explained that I was only grabbing a quick cappuccino and would not be there long. I even said, "No problem, I won't be here long," and made my intentions clear. Instead of working with that, he told me he would have to ask me to get up. I would have been perfectly happy to move once the party arrived or if the seat was actually needed. However, the interaction was handled abruptly and without basic courtesy or flexibility. What makes this more disappointing is that we had actually enjoyed the restaurant a few nights earlier. During that visit, Ashley took care of us and she was an absolute gem--warm, attentive, and exactly what great hospitality should feel like. I would highly recommend sitting with her. I had even met one of the investors during that visit. While I don't frequent Il Bracco regularly, I do know many people in the Dallas hospitality industry, including owners and operators, and situations like this are exactly the kinds of service breakdowns we discuss so they can avoid them in their own restaurants. Unfortunately, after this interaction, I will not be returning. The bartender's approach to guest interaction and basic hospitality needs serious attention. Good luck guys!

To begin, I would not recommend using their valet even though it is free, because they seem to only have one person working it so it takes forever for them to take your car. We had to wait for over 10 minutes for the valet guy to come back to his post, meanwhile I'm stopped in the middle of the street with car having to drive around me. It would have been much faster to just park in their garage which is also free for I think 2 hours once validated by the restaurant. The valet also didn't have a system for keeping track of the cars, no key tag, number to text, or anything, he just asked for my name and said he would remember me. That didn't seem like the safest process to me. Not to mention, when we picked our car up he just gave me the key to drive it off from the space myself instead. Valet aside, the restaurant was really nice inside and had good balance of not quite fine dining, but also not too casual, which is what I was looking for. They also decorated for the holidays and the red bows overhanging were a nice touch. As an Italian restaurant, they had plenty of pasta options however our entire table decided to go with the waitress recommended Pollo Parmesan. I think we all were interested in the fact that it contained both red and white sauce, so it allowed us to have the best of both worlds. I wasn't sure how it would mix well at first, but it ending up complementing each other nicely. Lastly, the ladies also appreciate that they provided a bag hanger for their purses. I would like to come back to try their other dishes, I just won't waste time using valet again.

But what really made the experience unforgettable was our server, Leigh. She went above and beyond in every way possible. She didn't just explain the menu- she told a story. From the background of the owner to the details of each dish, you could tell how much care and passion went into everything. She checked in at all the right moments, made sure we had everything we needed, and genuinely cared that we loved each bite. And the food... wow. It transported me to Italy. We started with the arugula salad with bresaola dressed with lemon - super refreshing - paired with the arancini. The bread dipped in the sauce was insane: perfectly crisp on the outside, with rich, flavorful rice inside. We shared the triangoli ravioli stuffed with ricotta and topped with mushroom, hazelnut, and parmesan, and it was incredible. The hazelnut added the perfect crunch and nutty depth. Then came the tagliatelle with wagyu bolognese--perfectly balanced, rich, and made even better with clearly homemade pasta. We finished savory dishes with the veal saltimbocca, and I swear it made me feel like I was sitting in Rome. The sauce was incredible, and the sage really brought everything together. But the true showstoppers? Dessert. My Italian grandma said the cannolo was the best she's ever had - and that says everything. Light, crisp, and not overly sweet. Then the chocolate dessert with olive oil and sea salt... I went in for two bites and somehow finished the entire thing without realizing. Easily the best chocolate dessert I've ever had. This place is out of this world. Would order all of these dishes again. In a city full of restaurants, this is one I will come back to every single time I'm in Dallas. Absolutely 5 stars. Brava.

Presumably meaning wine, but we were considering cocktails and a bit confused by the question. He said "I'll come back when you're ready," and disappeared for the first of many long absences. From the beginning it felt like we were ruining his life. He was cheerless and curt and wouldn't make eye contact with anyone. It would be more understandable if the restaurant was super busy or understaffed. But this was Monday at 6 pm. We listed a birthday on the reservation, but it wasn't acknowledged. Why bother to ask if we are celebrating? We waited for empty plates and glasses to be cleared between courses. We waited a long time for him to return so we could order a second glass of wine. Even longer for the plates to be cleared and longer still for the opportunity to order dessert...a piece of cake for the birthday girl and two after dinner drinks...but the drinks weren't picked up from the bar when the cake was delivered, and only remembered when we asked for the check. We watched him pick them up (well after the cake was consumed) on his way to leave the bill. No mention that they had been overlooked, no thank you, no good night. This was our first time at Barsotti's and it will be our last. Aside from the awful service, we had issues with the food as well. The veal was pounded paper thin and fried hard resulting in a tough, chewy texture similar to dried beef or jerky. It was dry and overcooked on two different dishes. On a more positive note, we enjoyed the fried ravioli appetizer and the redfish was fine. While our waiter was largely MIA and unpleasant when he did show up, the bus boy/assistant was gracious and attentive. Maybe he was trying to compensate for his colleague. BTW, the offensive employee was in his late 40s to mid 50s with a slight build and salt and pepper hair.

We were seated in the middle section at a table and with the noise level it made it pretty tough to hold a conversation throughout the meal. We started with the polpette della Nonna (wagyu meatballs) and the u'purp (char-grilled Spanish octopus). The meatballs came alive once we paired them with the truffle ricotta butter from the table side bread, that combination was genuinely good. The octopus, unfortunately, fell flat. It lacked seasoning and just didn't have much going on flavor-wise. For entrees, we tried the branzino, the agnolotti pizzicati, and the scaloppine di wagyu. The branzino was decent but not memorable, it could've used a little more depth, possibly just some salt. The agnolotti pizzicati was the clear winner of the night, the wagyu filling and pasta were delicious and easily the highlight of the meal. The scaloppine di wagyu, however, was over-salted and arrived covered in peas, so we sent it back. Overall, the food felt inconsistent with some hits, some misses, and a few dishes that just needed better seasoning. The convenience to the symphony is a big plus, but the food and noise level have room for improvement.
