Best Family Style Restaurants in Irving

This is my third visit to the restaurant in the last month. The food is outstanding, especially the tortellini, which is perfectly prepared. The drinks are good, too. It is the best Italian restaurant in Dallas and would be a top restaurant in any US city.

What a gem. First time but will be going back as much as possible. Fantastic experience and amazing food.

Today at Il Bracco was fabulous! Four friends enjoying a shared lunch. We had 2 appetizers (now my 2 most favorite) facaccia with whipped ricotta and the meatballs are both stand outs! Ancient Grain salad and the chopped salad are at the top of the salads list. And we had the mushroom pasta which is excellent. We came around 2:30 for a late lunch , very relaxed. Noise level was much better than when you go on a crowded weekend night. But always go. One of my friends thinks it’s better than Lucia’s, that speaks accolades to me. Great place to dine , great location!

I remember when they opened years back- oh boy Another Mexican food place..not so! Authentic foods- daily fresh veggie changes. Have you had those cubed sweet potatoes?!? The ceviche had oversized seafood pieces- really could be a side with soup for healthy meal. But don’t miss on the margs-Margaritas are Excellent! We were seated in the enclosed patio like room to the far right. Excellent for we aging folks! Hubby could hear so he was blessed to talk to me hahaha!!

We had the pleasure of dining at Mesa Mezcal on Thanksgiving and the entire experience was great! From the service to the ambiance and the delicious food - our holiday was truly made special. I also really enjoyed how the meal was served family-style at the table. It felt like being at home.
