  • Catering
    Baci’s specializes in catering! We specialize in drop off and full service catering. Please contact us to discuss your catering theme and we will be happy to plan your event. We require a minimum order of $100 for catering. Catering prices mostly based on entree size portions. Pricing will be lower in many cases if ordering is made in the form of platters and chaffers. For example, our pasta and salads are priced as entrees. We can cut both prices per person if you order on platters and chaffers because each plated food portion would be less than ordering Ala carte.

    The service here is quick and great. Restaurant is a little crowded inside and does get loud at times during peak periods- which is normal. If you want a more intimate experience or date night then I would come during non peak hours. The crab gnocchi is worth while. The risotto balls were a bit too cheesy. I had them before and they were not (not sure if recipe changed) but if you love cheese- go for it Overall- a very cute Italian place for a nice fancier family dinner.

    This is a hidden gem that transforms simple rockfish into a culinary masterpiece. Their grilled rockfish arrived perfectly seared, with a delicate, golden-brown crust that gave way to incredibly moist, flaky white meat. Seasoned with just a hint of lemon and fresh herbs, the fish tasted like it was pulled straight from the ocean that morning.

    When I made reservations, I mentioned a birthday. When we arrived, the hostess asked if there was a special occasion. I told her it was our friend’s birthday. Nothing was ever acknowledged. Why did anyone ask?! Service was polite and friendly but slow. Our waiter disappeared for about 25 min without taking our order. He said he was busy with outside tables. Sounds like a staffing problem. Food was mediocre. Ambiance was festive for Christmas. Great wine choices but high prices. $57 for a $13 bottle of Wente Riva Ranch! Ridiculous.

    The food was amazing. We had a larger group so not much interaction with service people but best meal I’ve had in a while. Well done.

    The Beef Stroganoff is my go dish, and again, it did not disappoint! Tried a new drink… The Godfather, absolutely delicious: bourbon and Disaronno and orange peel… Absolutely flavorful! Try it, you will like it too!
