    Decent menu with a good variety to choose from. Prices about right for the area. Little bit bare and echoey but OK while it was fairly quiet.

    A bright, spacious welcoming venue, staff were very friendly - offering suggestions on who best to enjoy the food. All three main courses were exceptional. Limited choice of desserts as a non ice cream/sorbet eater but the ones chosen were excellent. As a non Oxford resident would definitely visit if back in town

    Visited Branca with a friend for a quick supper before going to the cinema. Booking was easy, the welcome friendly, staff delightful, and the food was excellent. Will definitely be going again!

    It was a very last minute booking which we managed to book a table for 9 an hour beforehand. When we arrived table was all ready set with water and focaccia which was a nice touch. Staff were very attentive and helpful and communicated brilliantly which I feel is so important All food, wine and cocktails were delicious too. Lovely experience and would highly recommend and would return to try more off the menu. The area Jericho is lovely place too.
