Our third time at Il Bracco was the best so far. The flat lasagna (an off the menu special) was unique and delicious. The sea bass was also very enjoyable. The pinot noir (Failla) was reasonably priced and quite good. We ended the evening with a properly made latte. All servers were professional and pleasant. Highly recommend.

The food and service are good, and the surroundings are attractive, but it sounds like the pole dancers will be on stage any minute now. Thump, thump, thump.

I enjoyed lunch with my wife and her sister. The focaccia with ricotta is delicious. My sister in law had the burrata salad which I had had before and recommended to her. It is a very nice serving. Just right, not very large. My wife had the kale and chicken salad which she thoroughly enjoyed. I had The Plaza salad. It had a generous serving of very fresh feta cheese. Chloe took fabulous care of us making sure our water glasses were always full and paid close attention to many little details. The only thing I wish is for the music volume to be a little bit lower. I look forward to going back.

I had a reservation at 8:15 pm, and I wasn’t seated until 9 pm. By that point, things as common as bread were already sold out. The food isn’t worth the price, and it certainly isn’t worth the wait. Will never return to this restaurant.

4 of us showed up a little early for our reservation and it was clear they were a little behind as no one wanted to leave such a great place. We happily went to the really nice bar for some great cocktails. The super nice mgr found out we were waiting, tracked us down and offered us a free appetizer for the inconvenience. We were seated about 5 minutes later. Service was excellent and the food even better. A relatively small menu but who cares when every dish tastes so good. We started with the excellent Crudo sashimi plate with capers. The ny strip was cooked perfectly and presented really nicely in thin slices. The linguine shrimp was delicious as was the special seafood stew. The atmosphere is great and watching the action in the open kitchen is a special touch.
