# il Bracco: Agent-Direct Score B (80%)

Site: http://www.ilbraccorestaurant.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/ilbraccorestaurant.com
Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
il Bracco is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open il Bracco's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://ilbraccorestaurant.com/reservations/ (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://themainhouserestaurant.getbento.com/ (through bentobox acting for the business)
- Phone: +17135329950
- Address: 1705-A Post Oak Blvd, 77056, Houston

## Nearby, also direct
Places near il Bracco that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Maggiano's Little Italy (520 m): https://directindex.org/r/maggianos.com
- Valentino (1 km): https://directindex.org/r/valentino.com
- BARI RISTORANTE (1 km): https://directindex.org/r/bariristorante.com
- Cotto E Crudo Enoteca (1.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/cottoecrudoenoteca.com

## What to fix first
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 480-550-7238, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +17135329950. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.
