    Amazing food and great service! Not your typical mall adjacent restaurant. The food here is amazing. They put a lot of work in their flavors and their presentation. We had the crispy pork ribs, the bacon wrapped scallops. Both of them were delicious and paired well with the oxican old fashioned. Their pasta is also delicious. I would definitely go there again.

    The portions of some of the diner menu items are way too large resulting in waste unless you TAKE AWAY left over. Should offer more items in 2 size portions (i.e Lamb Linguine etc. ). Wine by the bottle prices have gone out of sight (Dr Loosens Riesling is now $40 a bottle or $10 for a barely half-filled glass). While most of the restaurant profit is made on beverages and not food there is a limit....I had previously purchased same day as this review a case of Dr Loosens at Total Wine for $9.97 a bottle.

    Another wonderful meal at Bacio! Thursday night was hopping with a very energetic vibe throughout the restaurant! With the always excellent Courtney as our server and some new additions to the menu (We both had the Branzino - with spring pea risotto, tomato confit & pea shoots and it was out of this world!) excellent wine choices and the warm basket of bread, it was a 5 Star dinner! Don't forget to try the parmesan crusted shrimp as an appetizer, you won't regret the choice if you're a shrimp lover!

    Everything about Bacio is above average! We eat there two or three times each time we visit friends in Minneapolis. (Wish we had one in Seattle!) Great range of food offerings that taste wonderful. Love the fettuccine Alfredo. Parmesan encrusted shrimp is a great appetizer. The beef fillet is some of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly seasoned, charred and grilled to perfection. Fresh salads and homemade soups. Wonderful desserts. Can’t recommend this place enough. All our guests absolutely love the experience.

The host told us to wait a bit for a table...sat at the bar, 40 mins later still was no called to get to the table...and mother's day menu was very very limited....my mom and I just left...I would not recommend this place on the mother's day for sure, especially if it's only 2 ppl reservation

    My friend and I truly enjoyed our dining experience. I had the best filet mignon sandwich I've ever had and we shared the margarita Flatbread as an appetizer. For dessert I had the creme brulee and my friend had the tiramisu. Those are homemade in-house, and both were excellent. I'll be back for sure. Highly recommend.

    It was a little noisy for what is conducive to conversing with fellow eaters. Our server, Janna, was extraordinary, as was the sommelier whose name started with A. Patio might be nice option to minimize the cacophony. Thank you!

    I wasn’t impressed by food. Creme brûlée was watery and cold. Usually caramelized top is warm. What I thought was vanilla bean pieces looked more like ashes. Pasta dish was supposed to have penna but actually had rigatoni. Server was great though!

    Brunch at Bacio is a hidden gem. Our food was amazing! We could have used a little more attention from our server, but it wasn’t terrible. Just coffee that could’ve been filled more quickly and a checkin once we started eating. All in all it was a great experience and we’ll be back!

    Overall pretty good but was pretty disappointed with the sea bass and wish I would’ve said something. The menu item should’ve read mash potatoes and then mention the sea bass in the fine print. The tuna app was really good and so was the salmon entree.

    We always enjoy dining at Bacio. Friday's are noisier because of happy hour and that is when we were last there. However it doesn't really make a difference as the dining room, while active, is not annoyingly so. Service was fine, not outstanding, but no complaints! The food was very good. It was our anniversary and Bacio was our choice of where to celebrate.
