    Everything about this birthday lunch for my friend was wonderful. Lily was a terrific server, the chopped salads and bread we ordered were perfect, and my friend got to choose whatever dessert we wanted to share and that was on the house! We felt welcomed and appreciated, and we certainly had a lovely celebration.

    Thank you for celebrating with us! We think Lily is pretty great, too. We hope to see you soon!

    Our first time to Bacio and we were pleased with everything. We didn't realize the restaurant has been in business for 24 years. Nothing tired about this restaurant. Our waiter Paul recommended the Lamb Linguine and it was superb. The menu left us planning our next visit.
    BacioResponded 2 days ago
    Hello Kent, thank you for choosing Bacio! We love to hear that you enjoyed the lamb linguine! Paul is a pillar of our staff and has been with us for nearly 20 years. We hope to see you again soon!

    Excellent place for lunch, very nice outside patio. Great service. Only issue was the difficulty moving chairs on the uneven brick patio and my steak sandwich which I ordered medium rare barely had a hint of pink--tasty but over-cooked. Have to get the parmesan shrimp appetizer!
    BacioResponded 2 days ago

    We will be back again because of the location but at a later time for dinner, not 6pm on a Thursday night. As we entered the restaurant, we were hit with a wave of sound that was so loud and strong. It was difficult to hear anything from across the booth. Even the waitress had difficulty hearing our voices. The restaurant booths are definitely showing the wear and tear of usage. It was a disappointing experience for our wedding anniversary celebration.

    Hello Jill, we are sorry to hear of your disappointing anniversary dinner. Would you please share your email so we can reach out to you personally?
