Die besten italienische Restaurants in Turtle Creek / Oak Lawn

Waiter completely rushed us through dinner - hovering and asking us to make a decision on drinks appetizers and dinner within 5 minutes of us being seated. Explained we needed a minute to read the menu as we had never dined there before and asked for his recommendations. He literally came back 2 minutes later asking for a decision. The restaurant was almost empty as it was early on a Saturday night so I’m not sure why he was trying to push us through dinner. But even with us trying to stall and draw things out we were still done with dinner in less than an hour. For such an expensive restaurant I find this unacceptable especially when I told him three times to give us a moment. Food and atmosphere were excellent but service ruined the experience

Selections are very reasonably priced and service is excellent. They described their restaurant as Italian but with a modern flair. That is a perfect way to describe both the cuisine and the ambiance. I had the Cacio E Pepe with chicken. It was delicious. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was creamy but delicate. When I asked if bread came with the meal, our waiter indicated that it did not. However, the waiter recommended their grilled sour dough bread (an additional $4), which came with an herbaceous butter - it was wonderful! My friend ordered the day’s special gnocchi with short ribs that fell off the bone. For dessert, we all wanted the tiramisu. It was not exactly the soupy Tuscan style nor the dry lady fingers style. I’d say a mixture of both. Sorry about the picture as we all devoured it so quickly I had to snap a quick shot after we had started digging in - I’d highly recommend it.

The service was like no where I’ve ever seen! Completely off the charts amazing! Everyone knew what we were there to celebrate and came by to say hello…food was amazing. The decor was beautiful. Did I mention the service was AMAZING! My new favorite place!!

NEVER disappoints!!!!!! One of my favorite Italian restaurants. I always look forward to my next time here. You can never go wrong with The Bracco, focaccia, and spicy gemelli!

Overall the experience was good. Our waiter provided good service. The arancini was just okay, but the marinara sauce was very flavorful. The aperol spritz was spot on. The entrees were good, just be advised, the meatballs are small. Do not think you are getting Texas sized balls. 🤣 The cannoli was okay. There was a little something missing. I will be back, I just know what to order and what to avoid.
