  • 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.

    We had a party of ten for dinner, splitting checks, ordering drinks, appetizers, and meals. Our server was totally on top of things. Very efficient and friendly. Everyone's entrée showed up at the same time. I was very impressed by the service!

    My family and I dined for the first time at Baci’s and I must say our party of 6 was overall satisfied with their meal. Appetizers we ordered were the beet salad - delicious! calamari succulent, crabcakes - outstanding, as was the wedge salad. Our Our entrees included scampi, ravioli, gnocchi, angel hair clams and I ordered the halibut - not tasty at all and was freezer burned as a result of the fishiness smell and dry texture not at all tasty. Lacked. the basic salt and pepper otherwise just fair - i wouldn’t order it again. Overall worth the four stars for their pasta entrees and appetizers.

    My family of eight enjoyed a wonderful celebratory (graduation) dinner at Baci’s. The restaurant accommodated our large party with ease. The assigned waiter/wait staff were hospitable and attentive. I have patronized Baci’s periodically over the last 15 years. I have never had a bad dining experience at this establishment. My family ordered mostly from the ‘Specials’ menu. Specifically the seafood platter and the “Bentley” were our favorites. Our food was delicious, flavorful, and a great value due to the portion sizes. Baci’s will remain a family favorite for years to come.

    Staff was able to increase our party size last minute. The food and service was excellent. It was a very busy night, since it was Mothers Day weekend and the annual Wine Crawl

    I was pleasantly surprised with how great everything tasted. The steak had a nice crusted outer with really tender middle. Excellent lamb shanks as well.
