    Baci Restaurant has excellent food, very delicious and presentation is very nice. The ambience is beautiful and elegant. The service was outstanding. Anyone who I’ve ever talked to raves about how good Baci is. They have consistently maintained a very high standard and quality for many years. And prices are no higher than other fine dining restaurants that aren’t as good as Baci. I will be going there more often.

    Probably one of the best Italian restaurants in San Diego on every level. The food is authentic Italian with the best seafood and meat, dishes, reminiscent of the cuisine of Bella Italia.  The pastas are homemade and the sauce is incredibly delicious.  One of our favorites is the iconic sea urchin pasta,  another is their light and fluffy  gnocchi.

    Baci keeps up its excellence year after year. All different dishes are made so well from pasta to meat to fish. The wait staff is attentive. There are plenty of tables and several dining areas. And, there's a separate bar area to the right as you walk in.
