    Focaccia with whipped ricotta, it was yummm
    Shashikala P.

    In our recent trip to Dallas, was looking for a good Italian restaurant to try out, came across il Bracco, reviews were good for food, but mixed for service but still decided to try. We had made reservations for weekend lunch, decided to seat outside, as it was bit chilly outside, so inside was packed, and outside was only one table occupied, they had the heater and a blanket, it was so cozy. Our server was nice but absolutely zero attentiveness, like we had keep looking for him and flag him down, my son couldn't get his soda refilled, and he dint check not even once after we got our food, even though we were in mood for dessert, dint had patience to wait for him anymore, so asked my husband to get the check, and me n my kiddo walked across for a gelato place, and it took my husband almost 30mins to flag him down and to pay the bill, that's insane, they really have to work on there service part. We ordered: we shared HOUSE MADE FOCACCIA, I got CACIO E PEPE, hubby got SPICY GEMELLI, and kiddo AL LIMONE, Focaccia was good, I loved mine, hubby liked his, but kiddo dint like AL LIMONE, it was toooo bland. I got espresso martini, which was well made, hubby liked his beer. Overall food is good, ambience is good, but service sucks!!

    Cacio e Pepe

    Last night was my second time going, and just like the first time the food and service was extraordinary! I will definitely be coming back to try more menu items but have had the focaccia, crudo, beef tartare, cacio e Pepe, bolognese, steak, spicy vodka pasta, tiramisu, and the Italian sundae! All were great!

    il Bracco is decent, but very overpriced. I got the crispy artichokes to start. They were indeed super crispy and had a great texture (without being deep fried) but they were EXTREMELY salty. I also got the combo sandwich. It was good but not worth the $22 it costs.

    I have always adored il Bracco, but now I have a new reason to appreciate it--they are open quite late relative to other Dallas restaurants and allow takeout almost until closing!! Which was perfect for us when we needed a late dinner spot. Everything was as incredible as always--always a big fan of the spicy gemelli and the chicken piccata. The cacio e pepe was delicious as well!! Big fan

    One Sheet Lasagna

    il Bracco is a neighborhood Italian restaurant in Dallas that serves some of the best Italian food in the city. I've never had a bad meal here as the food and service are excellent. Heads up, it's not cheap (nothing is in 2025), but the price of admission is well worth it. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - il Bracco is a small, cozy restaurant. There is outdoor seating that's very comfortable with shade during the fall and spring, and heaters for the winter. It's dark inside - perfect for date night or people watching. 1 Star. Service - Our server was excellent and professional. She shared a couple of items not on the menu (one sheet lasagna) and made sure all our needs were met. il Bracco's servers are the type you find in a high-end restaurant, because it is one. 1 Star. Food - If you like Italian sandwiches, order The Combo. On my latest visit, I ordered my server's recommendation - one sheet lasagna. The lasagna was a single sheet of pasta in a pan, topped with parmesan cheese and pesto, then baked. With each bite, I savored the creamy sauce, ricotta cheese. The baked pasta was a great contrast to the creamy cheese. Best of all - it felt like I was eating a light dish. It was one of the most unique and tasty Italian dishes I've ever had. Again, il Bracco is not cheap, but it's really good. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes - but only for special occasions. il Bracco is great, but quality comes at a high price. While I really enjoyed my visit, I'll need to space them out since this is more of a date night or celebration restaurant. 1 Star.

    Meatballs & Focaccia
    Stephanie K.

    I want so badly to give five stars - this one comes close and their business is bursting out the front door to show for their accolades. I believe reservations are full, but dropping in while dining for one was not a problem, and Allie took exceptional care with thoughtful recommendations and service details even while the bar remained full. Ambiance is enhanced by an open kitchen, and the managers are circulating regularly to ensure quality remains consistently high. My favorite litmus for classic Italian is sampling their Cacio e Pepe, and this one hits the mark with thick al denté handmade pasta, peppery and hot. In contrast, Meatballs are delicate and moist, perfectly balanced between sweet & acidic flavors dancing on the tongue, served with house made herbed foccaccia crisp and spongy for dipping up lingering last bites. To finish, a gorgeous Lemon Tart - no meringue, just sweet/tart with a crusty graham cracker crust for textural contrast. It's elegant on all counts and worth returning with the whole family for sharing!

    Tiramisu and lemon tart

    Our server Angelina was incredible ! I got the eggplant parm and my dad got the clam pasta. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food but even more so our drinks. The house special il braco (grapefruit and gin) is impossible to get just one of and my martini was just so. After having trouble deciding between two desserts, our server brought one for free. Truly great all around; will be returning.

    Spicy gemelli
    C. G.

    Amazing food, great service! It is a little loud inside. Had the meatball app, spicy gemelli pasta with crispy chicken and our waiter surprised us with an ice cream sundae topped with olive oil. Definitely a new favorite!

    Pesto Rigatoni
    Rachel S.

    il Bracco has been on my list for years and I had the opportunity to grab dinner here recently with some friends. We had a large group of 6 people and were able to easily book a reservation and be seated once at least 4 of us had arrived. It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was packed compared to the ones around it! The hostesses and wait staff were all very kind and the entire place had a classy, warm ambiance. The menu was concise, offering a variety of Italian classics, wines and drinks. For our appetizer, we ordered two of the House Made Focaccia with whipped ricotta, roasted garlic, and thyme. Let me just say, this focaccia was amazing! It was beautifully baked, had a perfect olive oil crust on top along with the thyme. The whipped ricotta butter spread also had a pool of olive oil inside. It was spectacular! This dish was definitely my favorite part of the night and a reason that I plan to return! For my entree, I ordered the Pesto Rigatoni. The pasta was very well cooked and the amount of pesto was just right. One of my friends also ordered this pasta and enjoyed it as well. The rest of my group ordered the Spicy Gemelli, Cacio E Pepe and Pesto Crusted Salmon. No one had negative things to say about their dishes. I also tried the Spicy Gemelli myself, and I would love to order the dish during my next visit here. For drinks, a couple of my friends ordered the Bracco, with is frozen greyhound with Aperol, New Amsterdam and fresh grapefruit. They said it was delicious, and one of them, who had visited this restaurant before, said it was her favorite thing on the menu. Lastly, on our way out, one of the hostesses even offered to take a group picture of us. She was so kind and went above and beyond! Overall, it was a wonderful night and I am pleased with each of the dishes I tried. I would love to come back to get the house made focaccia bread, try another pasta dish, and take a look at the wines and dessert menu. Thanks for a great night!

    I came here on a date. We had a reservation and were sat ~30 minutes late, as they were running behind. Good for them being so popular but this restaurant was sooo noisy that we couldn't hear each other speak. It's definitely good for groups, but I wouldn't so much recommend it for an intimate date. It's on the dresser side in my opinion, we were dressed up as were most of the people there. When we did finally get that, the food was really nice and there was a little bit of a wait for our meals but nothing too crazy. I'd definitely order takeout from here or maybe try eating in again but not on the weekend.

    The crispy artichoke was sooo good and kinda reminded me of calamari. we came at lunch time and it felt super fancy, the servers took great care of us and the pasta was delish

    I came here with a friend on a Friday night - we didn't have a reservation (I would recommend one if planning ahead), but were able to get seated quickly outside! We started with drinks, the burrata salad, and crispy artichokes. My friend got a wine with help from the waiter's recommendation and I got the Bracco - if you're a grapefruit lover like me, meet one of your new favorite cocktails! It's made with greyhound, apersol, new Amsterdam, and fresh grapefruit - served frozen, it was perfect for a Dallas summer evening! We absolutely loved the burrata salad and the artichokes lived up to the hype (since it seems everyone recommends them)! For mains, I got the chicken piccata, and my friend was stuck between two pastas, so we got both! Everything was amazing - the pesto is one of my favorite pasta dishes I've had and all of the flavors on the piccata were delicious/it wasn't too heavy! We were too full to sample anything from the dessert menu, and gladly took some leftovers home. Our servers were amazing and attentive, but also gave us some room to chat/didn't feel overbearing! I would definitely recommend this place and will be back!

    11/10. Amazing food and service. The meatballs were tender and paired well with the whipped ricotta. The steak was juicy and cooked to perfection. The noodles tasted amazing and was a good fit with the steak. Do not hesitate to come here.

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.
