    Meatballs
    Luke E.

    I love love love this place. Meatballs, chicken piccata, all of the pastas, the il bracco slushie drink, mozzarella tomatoes...I haven't had a dish I didnt LOVE. The service is great, they brought all of their servers in from their existing restaurants so it was pretty flawless. Now for the design. Flawless. Perfection...the art omg the art. OMG THE ART. It's part restaurant, part gallery. I LOVE IT I WANT TO LIVE HERE. I cant wait to go again and again.

    What a beautiful spot! Located in the heart of Scottsdale close toFashion Square, Mall. I really loved it here, the service and everyone was dressed so nicely. But we're really stole the show was the fresh pesto pasta and the chicken sandwich. The food was absolutely delicious and I will be dreaming about that pesto pasta for a while!

    We had a great experience at Il Bracco. The ambiance is great. Lots of in and outdoor seating and a huge bar. You will need to make a RSVP. Our server was Josie and she did a fantastic job helping us navigate the menu. The staff was a 10 out of 10. The food was decent. We got the fried artichokes and focaccia bread for an app. We enjoyed the sea bass.

    Only open for a couple weeks now and we managed to score a reservation. Our server was Sage - he was fantastic. But I appreciate the team approach in service. Everyone was nice and full of personality. Sage nows the menu well well and he managed to be attentive on a busy Saturday night. The food was high quality with an innovative approach. There were some options that you don't see often. I especially loved the way the lasagna was made - that was a whole vibe! While we waited for our table, we got espresso martinis. It was one of the best I have had in a very long time!!! Bravo!! And the bartender was a delight. What they need to work on: the napkin roll was dirty, then when they brought a new set up, the fork was dirty with crusty food. Can't wait to be back!

    More then 5 stars would be fair - this place is incredible. Waiter - Sage, was extremely friendly and professional, whole staff was attentive during our dinner here last night. Place is the best atmosphere, sat outside and had a bunch of wine and food cannot wait to go back so pumped this place is right down the road from me now. Apps - foccacia , meatballs, broccolini, foccaciia bread and meatballs are incredible Entrees - I had the gemelli and added chicken holy sh one of the best pasta dishes I've had, probably top pasta dish for me in the valley will 100 percent get again. Mom got the piccata - they loved it. Amazing place, so happy they're crushing, very well deserved you can just tell they know what they're doing. Could not recommend enough!

    Orzo Salad
    Jay J.

    Went to Il Bracco on Scottsdale Rd, and learned very quickly that the hype is real... and so is the reservation situation. We booked a 4:00pm Saturday because anything later was completely sold out. They opened last Monday, so we wanted to see what everyone's been talking about. We started with the Wild Arugula Salad -- it's on the smaller side, with these square sheets of parmesan placed around it like little edible coasters. Flavor-wise it's exactly what you want from arugula + lemon: bright, fresh, simple. Then came the house-made focaccia with whipped ricotta + fresh olive oil. Great shareable portion, perfect crisp crust with a soft, tender center. Really good bites. I personally would tone down the thyme flakes a bit, but it's still 100% worth ordering. Next up was the orzo salad, and this was the star of the show up to that point. Everything tasted ridiculously fresh and balanced--roasted corn, basil, feta, roasted squash, green onion, currants, pine nuts, a little pepper, and just the right amount of olive oil. I could eat a pound of this and not get tired of it. We decided to try the cacio e pepe. Noodles were perfectly al dente, and it tasted like what you'd expect if you ordered it in Italy. That said... it was too pepper-forward for me, and I'm usually a heavy-pepper person. If you love the traditional version, you'll probably appreciate it. If you prefer the more American/creamy style, this one might disappoint. The sheet lasagne gets 5/5 for presentation, 4/5 for flavor. My only wish: meat in the sauce. There was a slight sweet undertone I didn't love, and I think a meatball or two would balance it out and make it a must-order. Still worth trying and honestly, it reheated really well in the air fryer the next day. And then... the chicken sandwich. This is, without exaggeration, the best chicken sandwich I've ever had! The whole Chick-fil-A vs Popeyes debate isn't even playing on the same field as this thing. Perfectly seasoned, tender and juicy chicken, breading that's crispy but still moist, and a bun that tastes like it's made in-house. It was so good we came back the next day and got one to go!! On that second visit we also tried the cheeseburger--juicy, cooked perfectly, loaded with flavor, and topped with a great combo of arugula, fennel, red onions, provolone, and Calabrian chili. Service was a big win too, our server Miles was knowledgeable, attentive, and the staff overall was high class and hospitable. The interior vibe reminded me of Hillstone, but more relaxed with a slightly Mediterranean feel. We'll definitely be back. There are still a few things on the menu calling my name... and that chicken sandwich is basically yelling.

    Olive oil ice cream. Just do it

    Beautiful space. Always a bit hesitant to try a place soon after opening but this place was a pretty well oiled machine (the one pet peeve is having a reservation but still needing to wait 15 minutes but such is life) - food timing wasn't rushed, servers were knowledgeable and friendly, wine was reasonably marked up and everything was delicious. Eggplant Parmesan was delicious- we asked for bread to dip into the sauce, pesto pasta was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful and some of the best white beans I've had as a side dish. 100% will return.

    Food was amazing, service was even better (we love Kassie) and the restaurant is beautiful. Restaurant had a beautiful packed house with in door/ outdoor seating and it was a great time. Cant wait to go back.

    NY strip
    Mike L.

    Had reservations for 4pm on a Saturday. Saying this place was busy would be an understatement. We were seated at a cozy booth and given some time to gander over the plentiful menu. Started off with the house made focaccia and crispy artichokes. The bread was absolutely amazing and the whipped ricotta took it to a grand level. The crispy artichokes were so tasty and the dip complimented them so well. For our mains, we went with the jumbo seared scallops, one sheet lasagna, NY strip steak, whole leaf Caesar salad, cacio e pepe, and extra sides of heirloom carrots, and cauliflower. Scallops were cooked to perfection and the included salad was a nice addition. The steak was so delicious that the plate was picked clean (it was charred ever so nicely with a wonderful crust). Honestly, everything we ordered was delicious and we would order again without hesitation. Our server, Parker, did a splendid job making sure we were well taken care of; food was delightful, and provided complimentary valet service made for a pleasant experience. Definitely will be back.

    Upscale eatery! Lots of delicious options and the coke is the cane sugar glass bottle, so I felt better drinking soda haha! Gemelli is the perfect spice as well! Best part the valet! Haha

    Rigatoni with chicken
    Karina G.

    Big party, graduation celebration to be exact and we were split into 2 tables, worked out nicely. Beautiful and simple aesthetic. Delicious delicious and delicious food. Bummed I was limited in my eating and yet I still got to experience there deliciousness. I had a Caesar salad which was super tasty. I almost got the seabass and then saw pasta is made in house, so I opted for the pesto rigatoni is to die for, the cubed chicken was ok could have been grilled/cooked a lil more. And my starter was the cauliflower dish, that was a party in my mouth, all the different flavors were amazing! My mom had the scallops which she liked a lot and my brother in law had rigatoni as well with shrimp and those were some nice jumbo looking shrimp!!! Nephew had the lasagna. Everyone was happily satisfied. Staff is top notch, our server Michelle was great and took care all 10 of us. I noticed that as soon as one staff member passed another came up, that's pretty amazing clock work. Will definitely be back next time I'm in AZ and have some drinks bcs they looked very tasty from far. At the end of the second ASU ceremony, the graduate were were celebrating said I think dinner was the highlight of my day!!!

    Spicy Gemelli and the perfectly cooked med-rare NY strip
    Shawna L.

    First time in and cant wait to come back! Started with the crudo and the frozen bracco. Drinks were delicious, crudo was just okay, however the spicy gemelli and the ny strip were absolutely on point! The presentation was good and the service was wonderful. Miles took good care of us!

    Il Bracco Restaurant is an upscale Italian restaurant that just opened in Scottsdale. The housemade pasta is fantastic. The chain is very popular in Texas and is the most booked restaurant on Open Table in Dallas. It was packed when we arrived at 7:30. Reservations highly recommended. Many of their dishes feature olive oil from Queen Creek Olive Mill, including the yummy ice cream dessert. Our server Lexi was amazing. So was the rest of the staff. The assistant manager stopped by to see how everything was. We had the meatballs, salmon, and spicy vodka pasta with chicken. It was all very good! Their signature drink, The Bracco, is a frozen greyhound. Tasty! Parking is at a premium nearby, but they did offer valet parking. We will definitely be back. The lunch menu looks just as good.

    "Eat Like Italiano at Marcellino"…read more Marcellino Ristorante in Scottsdale is one of those places that's clearly popular for a reason. There was a long wait when we arrived but the staff made it pleasant by bringing out free bruschetta while we waited, which was a nice touch. The ambiance is very Italian--warm, charming, and inviting. They also have outdoor seating, which adds to the whole experience. There was live music that night, and it really set the mood without being overwhelming. I tried two of their non-alcoholic drinks: the rosemary mint lemonade and the hibiscus mango--both refreshing and thoughtfully made. My husband went with a lager beer, which paired well with the food. When we ordered, we were asked if we wanted to try their homemade pasta, and once we heard they have squid ink pasta, my husband didn't hesitate. We ordered it, and wow--it was amazing. The pasta was deeply flavorful, loaded with seafood, and served with lobster meat on the side, which took it to another level. We also ordered the Filetto di Malale--pork tenderloin sautéed with tender asparagus and green peppercorns, finished with a bourbon flambé. It was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. For dessert, we had the flaming panna cotta, which was both fun to watch and deliciously sweet. We were also happy to meet the owner-chef, Marcellino Verzino, which made the experience even more special. Overall, this place is absolutely worth visiting if you're looking for authentic Italian dishes here in Arizona. Definitely a spot we would return to.

    One of the best truly authentic Italian restaurants we have visited. I highly recommend!read more

We were on a bit of a time crunch, and they helped us wrap everything up right on schedule. For drinks, I ordered a Cosmo and oh my one of the best cocktails I've had. The flavor was perfectly balanced and so smooth. For appetizers, we tried Emma's dumplings, beet salad, Brussels sprouts, and burrata. They started us off with house-made bread and homemade butter, I could eat that all day. So good! We were pleasantly surprised by the amazing vegetarian options. The Brussels sprouts, beet salad, and Emma's dumplings were definite winners each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. For mains, we ordered the penne vodka. I had high expectations, and while it was good, it was more on the average side compared to everything else. And finally the butter cake for dessert absolutely knocked it out of the park. You could literally taste the butter in every bite, Unreal. Pricing is very reasonable, and overall the service and food were beyond exceptional. We'll definitely be back!

It makes me very happy to know that they make everything from scratch, including some of their liquors. A little intimidated by the menu, I asked our server what he recommended. He was very knowledgeable and very descriptive when explaining the dishes! I got the short rib pasta, and my boyfriend got the shrimp linguine. This was seriously one of the best pastas that I've ever had! On both of our meals, the protein was just incredible. The shrimp was tender flavorful and I appreciated them keeping the shell on the shrimp it just tasted so fresh! For my short rib, it was just truly incredible. The sauce was rich and flavorful without being too heavy or overwhelming. The short rib just melted. Honestly, in this day and age it's very hard to find places like this in my experience where the service is top-tier. The ambience is welcoming, warm and you can taste the actual care and love that goes into everything that they put out. I look forward to bringing my friends and family to try this gem. In the meantime, I will be forever dreaming about my short rib pasta and lemon cello. Thank you DiMaggio's for making this a wonderful experience!

I did go on a first date here and maybe not as romantic as I would have liked -- much more of a family vibe -- or in the bar area was all about sports. It wasn't too loud so that was good since we were doing a lot of talking, LOL. It was a Saturday night and my date had made a reservation but it looked like we could have easily gotten a table without one. There is a parking lot but couldn't tell if it was easy parking because we took an Uber since we were drinkiing. I started with an espresso martini and I would give it a 4/10 -- I think the espresso used was low quality because it wasn't my favorite. My date got a whiskey old fashioned and he liked it. Service was pretty good -- it was a busy Saturday night. I wanted to order a glass of wine with my meal but the server was gone for some time so my date had to flag her down. I ordered the halibut with crab on top and the server recommended a white wine to pair -- I thought it was an usual suggestion but went with it -- she didn't even suggest which white - so I went with a Sav Blanc and it was actually quite good -- I didn't catch the name. We started with some shrimp cocktail and that was pretty good, sauce was tasty. The halibut was actually quite good and cooked to perfection - the crab on top was really good too -- it came on a bed of linguini which was too much -- I didn't really eat that. My date had the filet special with a lobster sauce -- it looked really rich and the portion was huge! He couldn't even eat it all. Overall I enjoyed my meal, I was quite full when we left, LOL! I didn't catch how much the total cost was but I think it had to have been at least $200 -- so definitely some dough will be dropped! But for a special occasion it is worth it.

I liked the atmosphere, nice wood decor and being dimly lit adds a sophisticated but still casual vibe. They also have a cool bar area, nice bartenders. We definitely will be back when in town.
