il Bracco is my favorite restaurant in Dallas, but they completely exceeded my expectations this time - if that was even possible. I brought my sister and her boyfriend who are visiting from atlanta, and got engaged 24 hours prior, and the waitress brought them champagne to celebrate their engagement and olive oil ice cream for her birthday next week. The food was amazing as always, but the waitress went above and beyond to make them feel so so special, and they left raving about their entire experience. I already loved il Bracco, but the way they treated my sister and her boyfriend last night made me love them even more!!
