    Sorry to see them closing. An iconic place for so many years. Best of luck in retirement and to the staff hope all land on their feet at other local establishments.

    Excelent cuisine. Service a bit too busy. High prices should include Soup or Salad. Offer Desert card only if solicited. Do not push for unsolicited orders. Thank You.

    I have been dining at Cafe Baci for 30 years and never had an unsatisfactory experience. Tonight was perfect as usual. I brought friends that never dined at Baci before and they were super pleased. My only regret is that my favorite restaurant is closing. 🥲

    One of my favorite places to eat whether for lunch or dinner. I really hate to see them closing permanently. Best wishes to the family in their retirement and also to all the workers and servers.❤️
