Chicken Parmesan
Jen J.

While we had a reservation, we still had to wait quite a bit to be seated. The server was clearly busy, he was kind and efficient. The restaurant was very busy, the acoustics made it had to have a conversation and hear each other. Food was wonderful, I had the chicken Parmesan on recommendation from our server and it was phenomenal. Others in our party enjoyed their food as well.

Ice cream sundae

Food was good! Our starter plate came out with a big hair in it unfortunately. Our server was able to bring a fresh plate out quickly but it definitely affected how we felt about the meal. Drinks were really refreshing and I absolutely loved the fact that they swapped out our half drank glasses with chilled glasses to keep them cold! Never seen that before. Salmon tasted really fresh as well. It was extremely busy on a Thursday at noon so make reservations!

Steak tartare

The food is worth the hype! Expansive wine list, pasta tastes homemade, and Naomi gave us great service for our first time, and celebrating our anniversary. Don't skip the olive oil ice cream! Will be back to try more on the menu asap

Dinner w Dan (a series)

Il Bracco was yummy and def a vibey little crowd. We came in for dinner on a Sunday evening and had a wonderful first experience. I have come to find myself in Preston Center a lot. It always makes me feel like I'm back home in a way. I had a glass of Chianti and we started with the focaccia with whipped ricotta. We both chose pasta dishes, I had the spicy gemelli and bestie had the bolognese which he didn't seem to like much but when I tried it I thought it tasted great. I don't care for a lot of meat sometimes so I wouldn't have ordered it as my main but it really complimented the spicy gemelli - perhaps going halfsies would have been a nice option. Service was attentive and our dishes came out fast, we sat indoors beside the bar but the patio could have been a really nice option if you're a patio person. I typically am not. I have yet to find a Dallas Italian spot that I love more than my current no.1 back home (Donna's on Sunset in LA) but this meal was delish and I wouldn't rule out dining here again in the future.

Enjoyed il Bracco for a wonderful Sunday dinner! Friendly service, great food, and pretty decor made for a well rounded experience. Must try items: Steak Tartare, Meatballs, Chicken Piccata, Al Limone, Chicken Parm (not available everyday), Spicy Gemelli, and the Cheescake was a perfect way to end the meal (not pictured)!

Had brunch here on a Saturday with some girlfriends and we really enjoyed it! It was packed but service was great and all the food we ordered including the dessert and drinks were very delicious! I would love to go back and try their dinner here too. The pasta was cooked perfectly and it was very flavorful! The interior inside is cute which is always a plus! Definitely will be going back here.

House made focaccia- recommend!!

My first experience here wasn't the best, so I was curious to see how a second visit would compare. A friend was moving out of town and wanted to come here, so I decided to give it another try and order completely different dishes. We started with the focaccia bread (5/5). Wow--this might be some of the best bread I've ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the dip was delicious. I usually try not to fill up on bread before the entrées arrive, but we made sure to finish every bite. We also ordered the burrata salad (5/5), which was a very generous portion and absolutely delicious. I would definitely order it again. For our entrées, my friend and I shared the chicken piccata and the bolognese. The chicken piccata was a 5/5 for me, while the bolognese was a 4.5/5. Both dishes were excellent and I'd happily order either again. This visit was a completely different experience from my first one, and I'm glad I came back. I'd love to return with my husband sometime.

Food: Our group started with the Meatballs, which came with their House-made Focaccia, and let me tell you, both were divine in their own right. The meatballs were very succulent, bathed in a tomato gravy that you'd want to lick every drop of from the plate. The focaccia, on the other hand, had a pillowy interior, and the crust almost seemed caramelized, with a slight sweetness that paired nicely with the tartness of the tomato gravy. For our main course, we ordered the Cacio e Pepe, Spicy Gemelli, Pesto Rigatoni, and Bolognese--all were phenomenal. Then, to cap things off, we had a dreamy gelato, with a cloud of whipped cream, topped with pistachio and drizzled with olive oil. Service: Great! What you'd expect from an upscale restaurant. Our waiter was attentive and very accommodating to our needs. Ambiance: Casual, modern. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.

Focaccia with whipped ricotta, it was yummm

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!!

Steak Tartare
Carl D.

Ive heard such rave reviews of il bracco, and was happy it lived up to the hype. We started with the meatballs and steak tartare. The meatballs were very moist and the steak tartare was chefs kiss - perfect acidity. I had the bolognese which is the best I've found in Dallas. My wife had the spicy gemelli which she thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were attentive and the atmosphere is great, especially being able to see into the kitchen. If I had one critique, I'd ask for a more extensive signature cocktail list, but I won't hold that against them.

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.

Zero proof citrus

The pastas here are amazing: super fresh, with rich, satisfying sauces. Service was great and the ambience was warm and inviting. Drinks were just okay, but the food more than makes up for it. I'll definitely be back.

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.

It was a little too windy and hot for us, so we hurried downstairs to enjoy dinner afterwards.

We didn't have reservations, so we ended up at the bar, but the bar tender, Izzi made our experience feel so elevated! He was charismatic, charming, and genuinely interested in getting to know us! He was knowledgeable about the menu and had tons of recommendations for us! We ended up getting the bolognese and lasagna. Both dishes were hearty, delicious, and had plenty for leftovers later. Needless to say, we sat at the bar, but Izzi made us feel like we were sitting at the most important table in the house! The entire bar staff seemed very "elite". The owner should give them all a raise and the customers should tip them well!

The restaurant is beautifully designed and decorated. Unfortunately, the food leaves much to be desired. We ordered the fritto misto, the gnocchi, and the lasagna. We had high hopes as we love authentic Italian food, but this did not meet the bar. I would return for drinks & fellowship with friends & family, but that's simply it.

What an absolutely fantastic Italian-American restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised by how great…read morethe pasta was. Started with the fried calamari and whipped ricotta with garlic bread. The whipped ricotta is an absolute must order and I'll definitely be getting that again. The calamari was good, but pretty standard fried calamari, although I loved the addition of the chilis. The portions are absolutely massive, so it's very easy to share dishes. I got the spaghetti and meatballs and they were an absolute delight. The meatballs were juicy, seasoned perfectly, and had a great texture. You can tell they're freshly made and use quality meat. Others at my table got the Chicken Parm Vodka and Tortellini Vodka, and both were rich, creamy, and delicious. The Chicken Parm portion was especially huge. The food here is a 10/10 and I'll be telling everyone to come here for some great Italian food. The restaurant itself is charming. The booths are huge and I loved all the photos and paintings on the walls. The Kingdom of Italy flag caught my eye too. Once the sun went down, the atmosphere really started to come alive. There are a few things I think Barsotti's could improve on. The bussers seemed a little underdressed for this type of restaurant, and some of their shirts were stained. We were also celebrating a birthday and specifically mentioned it in the reservation, so I was hoping for some acknowledgment. Our waiter was very nice and respectful, but I would have liked a little more interaction and explanation of the menu. Overall, the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. I'll be coming back and would recommend Barsotti's to others.

I have plenty of parking in the back. Ordered the chilled crab claw appetizer and the portion was very generous. The crab meat was a bit firmer and drier than I expected, though that may simply be due to it being served chilled. Overall, we enjoyed it. For entrees, we shared the casino linguine vongole (clam pasta)- they split this on 2 plates for us, and chicken parm vodka (forgot to take a photo). Both were very good! We couldn't finish the entrees and so we put them in to-go boxes. I feel like they tasted even better the next day, lol. Service was great!
