    This was our first time dining at Baci . We were welcomed warmly and invited to select our table since our reservation was at 11:30 am when the restaurant opened. A lovely setting. I asked our server about the seafood dishes. The special was a Petrole Sole with a lemon caper butter sauce and a special gnocchi made on site. That's what we ordered. We were served a basket of delicious hot bread baked on site with infused extra virgin olive oil and garlic outstanding! My Petrole Sole was perfectly executed cooked as if I made at home delicious! My friend's gnocchi was also outstanding. We were very pleased with our meal choices. We did feel the Petrole Sole was overpriced at $42.00 a generous portion of fish with two pototo wedges, broccolini, and one roasted baby carrot. The lunch menu I reviewed online before we went to Baci. That was not the lunch menu we were offered they used the same dinner menu. Our lunch was $75.43 for 2 people no drinks, appetizers, or salads. That's a bit much for a lunch.

    Always our restaurant a go to for many occasions including my sons college graduation to meeting his first time girlfriend. From the moment we stepped into Baci we felt enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and charm. The inviting decor, with its soft lighting and rustic accents, set the perfect tone for what would be an unforgettable dining experience. We were promptly greeted by a cheerful host who welcomed us as if we were long-lost friends. He guided us to our table with a genuine smile and ensured we were comfortable, offering us a choice between a cozy corner or a more vibrant space. A personalized attention right from the start was a delightful touch. As we settled in, our server approached us with a friendly demeanor and a wealth of knowledge about the menu. He took the time to explain the evening’s specials with enthusiasm, effortlessly making recommendations that catered to our tastes. Throughout the evening, our server checked in on us. By the end of the evening, we felt not only satisfied by the delicious food but also genuinely appreciated as guests. The overall attentive service, coupled with the delightful ambiance, made our visit.

    We had a wonderful anniversary dinner here! Excellent service from the get go, with a great old school ambiance. The food was absolutely delicious! Chilean sea bass was perfectly cooked, accompanied by multiple other flavors that mingled perfectly. Tomahawk pork chop was excellent as well. The tiramisu had just the right amount of coffee with a perfect texture. Pricing is on the high side, but I think commensurate with other restaurants in its class. We’ll definitely be back again!
