Best Casual Restaurants in Lakewood / White Rock Lake

The food was great as always. It was freezing cold however so we could hardly focus on the food. We asked if the heat could be turned up but nothing changed. The chocolate silk pie was great and we enjoyed the birthday sparkler.

My best friend and I celebrated my birthday with lunch at The Charlotte, and it was such a wonderful experience. We ordered the spicy vodka pasta and the Cajun truffle malfadine, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The restaurant was stunning during the day, and I imagine it would be even more beautiful at night. I highly recommend visiting, whether it’s with someone special or a group of friends.

The food and service were excellent as always. We enjoy the restaurant a great deal.

Intimate atmosphere with unique flavors. I was happily surprised with the portions. Bartender/server was exceptional. Had the shrimp rice cake, tuna stracciatella, and the black bass with garlic noodles. Tuna and the noodles were the stars of the night. Make reservations and enjoy the flavors.

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!
