    This restaurant is always a joy. If we want to go somewhere special Baci is always our first thought. Old school elegance and service. Excellent food is a given. We celebrated my husband’s 90 th birthday and the evening was perfection. I truly felt our wait staff were my partners in this special occasion.

    We went to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. The service was outstanding and there were many great choices. The seabass special was excellent, just be aware if it's a special and not on the menu it good be a bit more than you expect. The environment is beautiful and cozy in booths and we also liked that romantic feeling. We will definitely be going back. The pastas all were super tasty and carpaccio to start is a must.

    The food was amazing and our server was extremely professional. The vibe is a little old fashioned which is what we expected for a legit Italian dining experience. We had the specials which were ravioli and sea bass. Both were exceptional!

    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.
