    This place is amazing. A fantastic dining experience all the way around from the food (Caesar salad, Seabass, peach dessert -I don’t eat anything with peaches and it was perfection), wine, music, decor, the staff, and our waiter (Tony). We will be back as much as possible.

    The food was excellent, and our server, Ford, was superb. We ordered a pitcher of margarita's on the rocks, and it was all "rocks". The liquid did not even fill two glasses. It was a total rip off. We then ordered a pitcher of frozen margarita's, and it gave us more liquid, but having to pay for two pitchers for two people, left us far from satisfied.

    As we all know, you rarely get BAD Italian food…. But it’s rare to get Italian fare that is so good that it is memorable. And that is what we got at il Bracco. The first bite of the focaccia bread was like heaven. The chicken parm was prepared to perfection and the sauce on it wasn’t just exceptional…it was memorable. And that’s rare. The pasta was just right…. Not overcooked; not undercooked. Perfect. Service was very good. Old fashioned was great. I’d love to find something to complain about; I love complaining. But it’s just not possible to find anything that I was less than delighted with. Well done, il Bracco!
