    New Years Day and we wanted some place that we knew would be fantastic, so where else but Gjelina? It was busy but the hosts and servers were unfailingly polite. We ordered 6 things from the menu. My wife's vegan so she had the vegetable sandwich (she had to fight me for it, it was so good). Brussel sprouts, grilled fennel, and the frites were all great. My son and I split the anchovy and burrata toast - a first for me - and it's my new favorite. Finished with the excellent pomodoro pizza - no cheese and none needed, because the jammy tomato confit is the star of the dish. I love this place. It never lets me down. Happy 2025!

    We have been to three different Bacari locations throughout the years and have really enjoyed them. This one was equally as good, if not better. My husband and I had a late lunch there and it did not disappoint. We had the gem salad, lentil stew, braised beef cheeks, and the pear & brie pizza. All were delicious! We look forward to going back soon as there were so many other items on the menu that we want to have. The wine was good and so was the service. The only note I would have is - I did not enjoy the background music. Like at all. I don’t think it went with the Bacari vibe, nor this particular location. But that’s just my personal opinion. Other than that, great experience!
