    Somehow we have missed this gem only 10 minutes from home. What a wonderful experience on every level. First and foremost, our server Lily was fantastic - really engaging and patient with explanations and somehow appearing exactly when needed! Friendly and knowledgeable, we’ll be asking to be seated with her in the future! The food - spectacular. We are not foodies by any means; we just know what we like, and everything from the warm soft bread to the last bite of dessert was amazing. We had the spicy pepperoni flatbread with a goat cream cheese and jalapeño. Perfect. I usually have to custom order this so I was thrilled to see this on the menu. The stuffed mushrooms with sausage were amazing too. And that’s just appetizers. My wife had the asparagus ravioli special which was delicious - light and flavorful. I had the Tortiglioni Rosa which (like everything) arrived hot and fresh - the servers get paged when food is ready so there’s no delay in delivering to the table. That was fantastic. We rounded out with turtle cheesecake and a peach and blueberry crisp. Again, flawless. The only thing to be aware of is that it can be “atmospheric”, which is restaurant code for loud. We arrived around 7:30pm on a Thursday and it was hopping. We’ll be looking for a quieter day/time but of course that’s personal preference; if you like some buzz you’ll get it here. Will add this into our regular rotation for sure!

    The waiter got the order wrong, but gave us the appetizer we ordered for free to make up for the mistake. This is a great restaurant and this is the first time I’ve ever had an anomaly there.

    Sorry about the mishap. We try our best to correct any mistakes as quickly as possible. We appreciate the review and look forward to seeing you again in the future!

    Bacio was absolutely fabulous AGAIN. The food (Two of us had the aspargis ravioli—to die for, the lamb linguini, and the vegetarian lasagna) was so, so wonderful!!! Everyone raved about it. David gave us phenomenal service AGAIN!!! Our friends visiting from Mexico raved and raved about it!!! Bacio by far is my favorite Twin Cities restaurant. I especially love going there for lunch!!! David is the great host at the front desk then. I always ask for Tori to be our server. She’s absolutely wonderful too!!! On a scale of one to five, Bacio is a TEN!!!

    I have always had positive experiences at Bacio but I wanted to comment on the excellent service we received yesterday. Our server was Ashley H. First, my friend gave me flowers as we were heading into the restaurant. Ashley noticed and brought out a vase (water carafe) and placed the flowers in the water so we could enjoy them while we ate (and they wouldn’t dry out). Second, Ashley brought my friend a sample of a non-alcoholic wine and when my friend commented that she really liked it, Ashley brought out the bottle so my friend could take a picture.

    Ashley is great and very attentive. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We look forward to serving you again, and hopefully it is Ashley that gets to do so!
