The zucchini app was great. The main pasta with short ribs was fair, at best. Not much meat, and the sauce was just ok. Lava cake dessert was excellent but overall, over-priced for the meal.

When you walk into Bacio for Happy Hour or dinner it's always a vibrant atmosphere! Last night was no exception, in fact it was super electric by the time we arrived for our early 5:45 dinner reservation. It was a combination of early Valentine celebrations along with their special Cajun additions for the season! The specials were fabulous, felt like you were in the kitchen of Commander's Palace in New Orleans! Courtney knew what we liked and made some very good recommendations! Courtney is one of our favorites! Don't know how long the Cajun specials will be on the menu, but check them out before they're gone! And, if they are gone, there are plenty of great items that will never disappoint you!

Had a great birthday celebration for our daughter last night at Bacio. It was very busy but service was good and food was not late and was hot. Dinners were very tasty. Interior could use a little updating but everything else was great!
