Bistro La Baia

La Baia has always been one of our favorite BYOs in the city. The food is spectacular and the service is wonderful. They are all so kind.

Great night!
Bistro la Baia has done a phenomenal job in creating a cozy dining experience outside with some of the best heaters!!! We were able to take off our coats and dine comfortably. Service was fantastic and the food was superb. We cannot wait to go back!

Couldn’t have been a more perfect NYE

Service and food was amazing. Highly recommend woman that hosted and served us was top notch

It was a very nice experience; the food was great too!

Pre Christmas dinner was wonderful! Great food and great service!

Awesome Italian in Philly plus BYOB ! Went during the pandemic where we could only eat outside, they kept us feeling warm and were very tentative. The owners are AMAZING, truly Italian and super kind...was so happy to give them business during this time. The food itself is WOW, we all got different dishes & for myself I got the Lobster Ravioli which was divine. The break was homemade as well and we couldn’t stop eating it! Finished off with a nice Limoncello shot ... will be back for sure!

Terrific food. Try the Funghi with Shrimp appetizer...

Food and service was great, outside area is very nice and in a great area of Philly

Great service, amazing food and sitting outside wasn’t bad with the heat lamps!! We will be back!!!

Simply delicious every time it’s such a neighborhood gym I pray to God it makes it through this I love the outdoor seating it’s not those Covid bubbles that most people are making it’s really sweet and delicious and well priced in addition it’s a BYOB and they take credit cards

I absolutely love Bistro La Baia. Food is exceptional and dining experience is as well.

Small Italian neighborhood gem! Amazing Italian food and outdoor dining with heat lamps during Covid.

Excellent food, really good service and friendly staff. Wasn’t my first time at the bistro and definitely won’t be my last. This is a must visit!

This was my third time eating there. The food is great, love the warm bread they serve. The staff is great, it is always a pleasure talking to the waitress. Bistro La Baia is a really nice BYOB spot. Will definitely go back again.

We discovered this restaurant during lock down... we ordered delivery as we wished to patronize small businesses. Best take out/delivered food ever! So impressed I actually emailed them to tell them how good their food is and that when the world opens up we will eat there! This time food was delicious! Menu is small but everything we had was great. The Italian sausage with homemade noodles was beyond good! We had the eggplant rollatini as a shared appetizer nicely prepared. I had chicken Marsala also good but I loved the mixed vegetables served with it! We enjoyed so much we who rarely order dessert took a Tiramusi home to share. It was homemade and amazing and worth every calorie!

Had a great meal during COVID with friends. Outdoor dining was in a quiet area. Food was big portions. Delicious. Service was slightly slow - but we enjoyed the time.

I've been there several times. I like to support family businesses. And byob is always good. This was a busy night. Took about an hour to get our food. Food thing we brought wine. The service is just OK. They just take the order and serve, so it's basic. Not bad, just basic. The wait did not bother me much this time because they probably suffered during the lock down, so it was nice to see that they had a busy night. And the food is always good.

Pretty good overall, but not great. Probably wouldn’t go back.

the service was very slow, as we waited over twenty minutes after being seated to even have a waitress/waiter ask about drinks or even give or us know about the menu. each course took a long time to come out as well, down to ya having to ask for the check after being there for over an hour half

Found this little slice of Italy while searching for a restaurant for Restaurant Week and let me tell you, it’s fantastic. Everything from the feel of the place to our waiter (who was clearly Italian). The food was delicious! So happy we decided to come here. Will definitely be going back!

Waited 15 minutes to be seated for a 2 person reservation that was confirmed at 7. Really bland food and below average service. Understandable during COVID but expected more for restaurant work. Bathroom is also kind of gross and not well kept. Too many good BYOBs in the area to go back.

My girlfriend and I had a lovely dinner. Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. The service was good I have no complaints.

We have always enjoyed this restaurant. We went that nite for Restaurant Week. We asked for bread and was told that it wasn’t included with our meal during Restaurant Week..... we found this to be unusual and couldn’t understand why they did this. Bread???? Otherwise, the food is consistently good and the location is great- quiet and very safe for outside dining. We will go back, bread hopefully included.

Hadn't been here in several years and took advantage of an open reservation slot Saturday evening. Food was as good as I remembered and the waitstaff was especially helpful and courteous to our 11 year old son.

Salmon Risotto was excellent but the homemade pasta with sausage was overcooked.

Food was great! What a nice experience! Highly recommend!

The food and service was really great. The food was well prepared and the pasta was perfect. Everyone was attentive and friendly.

Phenomenal food and prompt service. Located on a quiet residential block. Molto bene!

Amazing food! Great Italian home style cooking. Wonderful service!

We had such a lovely dinner! The food was to die for. Tender veal, homemade pasta, well prepared fish and Caesar salad. The desserts were also tremendous. The outdoor seating was comfortable and not too close. The service was warm and attentive. This is a homey neighborhood BYO. Not fancy; just good food. We will return!

Fresh homemade pasta, amazing quality ingredients! Service was amazing! The area is very quaint- perfect for a date night!

In this age of COVID outdoor dining, they did a great job. My partner had a Veal special in a brady sauce which was wonderful. I opted for the stand by chicken Parm - which was good, but I still wanted the Veal. Beware - the Appetizers and Pasta plates can run to the large-side, so be prepared to share!

It was a very nice place and food was really good ! Definitely recommend this place !

The best homemade pasta I ever had and I am Sicilian.

Great food and great service. Very friendly service and the good was excellent!

The ambiance was nice and the seating had ever customer at a safe distance. Will definitely go again

We keep coming back here because our experience is so great! We used to pass by this place all the time and chose it as our first outdoor dining experience during COVID. We felt very comfortable and loved the food the first time, so a month later we chose Bistro La Baia again! The servers are friendly and the food is fast and delicious. It's a BYOB so affordable as well. We usually go for the penne arrabiatta and a seafood dish, and always a salad or side. As far as COVID regulations the tables are nice and far apart, and everyone is very respectful. So glad we tried Bistro La Baia, we will keep coming back.

Nice staff. Amazing food. Great byob

Service was excellent!! An absolute hidden gem in the Rittenhouse area. Being a BYOB you are getting excellent food without the hefty price tag with alcohol. HIGHLY recommend!
