Service was excellent on the evening we were there. We started with the mozzarella garlic bread, appetizer with spicy sausage. It's a huge portion enough for three people easily. Very good. Salads were nice and very fresh tasting. They certainly weren't bagged lettuce as you get in some restaurants these days. For entrées, the pasta Gianni was the big hit. Great flavor and you have your option on pasta and I chose penne. For dessert we had the special cheesecake which was amazing. Prices for wine, cocktails, and food are all very reasonable. We had a really nice time.

The chicken quesadilla ravioli with chipotle cream, yum! The chicken gorgonzola with walnuts ravioli, which I served with my simple recipe of brown butter balsamic sauce. We also dropped off a lasagna with Bolognese sauce and the chicken divine to some family members and a chicken spaghetti to a neighbor who is on the mend.

5 stars based on food and service…read more I've been here twice and the food is excellent. I had a pasta dish when I came a year ago and it was as good as just about any I've had, including in Italy. This latest visit, I had the New York strip and it was excellent. I am usually unimpressed with the steaks served at restaurants, but this was of a sufficiently high quality that I throughly enjoyed it. And while it was steak, the kitchen's skill was shown through the excellent sauce that accompanied it. The service was attentive, including the host staff who graciously moved us outside. I was quite pleased on that front. Ambiance/decor is fine. But the inside of the restaurant is loud. Like, really loud. If you're hard of hearing like my mother, it will be impossible to talk inside. And if you don't like practically yelling to communicate, it will be uncomfortable. There were also issues with their AC this visit so it was stuffy inside. These (hopefully one-off) issues notwithstanding, I would definitely go back to Il Bracco and probably will in the future.

3.4/5 stars Upscale…read moreItalian restaraunt/bar il Bracco has a unique charm to it. Food: -House made focaccia; this focaccia deserves all the awards you can get for bread because it is so appetizing and savory. The seasoning paired with the whipped ricotta and roasted garlic are everything you could want and more and I had to hold back from ordering more before the main dish arrived -Spicy gemelli; I was looking forward to this dish since it's a highly popular item on their menu but ultimately I was a bit disappointed because the pasta was cooked too al dente for me so it was on the firmer side. As for seasoning, I consider this to be one of the most important details/components of pasta and for me it was lacking in this dish. There was not enough salt and I had to add chili flakes to give it some more flavor, I've honestly had better spicy vodka pastas elsewhere. This may be a dish that is overhyped in my opinion. -Italian Sundae; the dessert was actually quite exceptional here, featuring a sundae with homemade Blue Bell vanilla ice cream, extra virgin olive oil, chopped pistachios, fresh whipped cream, and sea salt, I highly recommend ordering this if you have a sweet tooth but like a bit of savory in your dessert Ambiance: -A sleek and elegant design to their interior with intimate booths, full service bar, and patio dining Service: -The service definitely could've been better. We were waiting to give our order for quite a while when we sat down and then the waiter hardly came by to check in and see if we needed anything. Overall, some good options if you order certain things, but others were a miss.

Pretty cool pizza spot at the Oak Lawn section. I found this back in mid April when I was…read morescrounging the area for pizza slices and YELP brought me here. The slices here are pretty big as seen in the display area. I got slices of supreme, sausage/pepperoni, and chicken alfredo to take back to the hotel. All were piping hot and pretty tasty. The supreme was my favorite. The chicken alfredo is a favorite here but I didn't get the hype. Just alfredo sauce and chicken pieces. The slices were so large I decided to cut them all in half and ate half for dinner and the rest for lunch the next day. They also serve wings, calzones, garlic knots, pastas, salads, and sandwiches. All typical items you'd find at a pizza place. The slices are what keeps people coming in here. Fortunately they are open late so you can get your pizza fix, even at the most extreme times of the evening.

Spicy Rigatoni 8/10: It says spicy in the name but I did not expect it to be spicy each time I took a bite, lol. Very delicious and addicting! Sauce is savory with some sweetness. Chicken Pesto 9/10: I am addicted to these pasta shapes and textures! It was truly so delicious with good amounts of shredded chicken and the toppings are delicious. I had them as leftovers as well and they did not disappoint! Calamari 8/10: These are crispy and the calamari is fresh, good sauces, juicy lime, and some sour vegetables on the side. Very delicious appetizer! Truffle Bread 7/10 : So delicious! It came with some cream spread on top and the bread is fluffy but crispy, with a cheese and a nice truffle taste! Lasagna 6/10 : This portion is definitely a bit smaller and I would say it's a good ol' lasagna. Nothing special except for the sheets which were thin and fresh, and the sauce is a bit salty. Tiramisu 10/10: This was so delicious! It came with some crispy chocolate toppings and it wasn't too strong but definitely so delicious, would recommend. Other things I did not take pictures of: Meatballs 7.5/10: Very delicious with a nice tomato sauce and they are some standard meatballs. I would recommend you try something new instead of just the meatballs. Bread with Olive Oil + Balsamic Vinegar 8/10: Again, crispy but fluffy bread, balsamic vinegar was acidic but sweet, smooth olive oil. 10/10 Service! They were very accommodating to our large party and celebrated my cousin's birthday. Nice vibes inside and outdoor seating, and I like how the outdoor seating was covered and not fully outdoor.

We finally made it to Lucia, and I honestly can't believe it took us this long…read more After a terrible week at work, my partner and I decided we just needed to get out of the house and do something nice for ourselves. We've been wanting to try Lucia for YEARS, but we're terrible at planning ahead, and as everyone knows, getting a reservation here can be tricky because they're almost always full. So, we decided to try our luck and randomly showed up right when they opened, hoping we might be able to grab two seats at the bar. What we didn't know was that I was talking to one of the owners. I told her that if she couldn't seat us, we completely understood and that it was totally okay. She responded, "This is my restaurant, so I want you to eat here." I thought that was absolutely adorable, and she somehow worked her magic and got us seated at the bar. We started with cocktails, and they brought us some delicious olives to snack on. We also ordered the fresh bread and butter, which was the perfect way to start. For dinner, we shared the ravioli and Wagyu bavette, and WOW. Both dishes were absolutely incredible. My immediate thought was, Why the hell have I not eaten here before?! Everything tasted incredibly fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and perfectly balanced. You can tell the ingredients are high quality, and there's clearly a lot of care that goes into every plate. Honestly, this was exactly what we needed after a crappy work week. It turned a rough week into a really special night, and I left already thinking about when we could come back. One of my favorite things about restaurants is when you can genuinely tell that the people behind them love what they do. You can feel that at Lucia. The owners have clearly put their heart into this place, and it shows in the food, the atmosphere, and the experience. I will absolutely be back. One important note: MAKE A RESERVATION! Please don't assume you can just walk in and get the experience we did. We got incredibly lucky, and I'm genuinely grateful they were able to squeeze us in. Our experience was a little bit of magic, and I definitely wouldn't expect them to be able to do that every night. 10/10 way to end a crappy week.
