    Cafe Baci's food is always superb. We will miss dining there in the future as the owners are retiring next month. If you are lucky enough to get a reservation by Mother's Day 2022, you will not be disappointed!

    Our waitstaff person wonderful, she's from Guatemala but we didn't get hr name. We were celebrating a birthday and wanted to go for one of the last times before it closes. Such a loss the closing will be for Sarasota. The best Italian food in all of Sarasota.

    With Cafe closing perhaps this experience wasn’t up to the typical service we’ve had in the past- sad to say our last dining experience wasn’t the usual Cafe standards-

    Service was outstanding. Food was ok, to salty and lack depth of flavor.

    It was nice to see how busy the restaurant was- it seems everyone wants to enjoy a Cafe Baci meal and reminisce about all the good meals they have enjoyed there in the past. We had a wonderful final meal there, my husband loved his grouper francaise and tiramisu dessert, while I enjoyed the lasagne and a (too!) large slice of chocolate cake. We will miss this restaurant, but want to commend the owners and staff for a job well done, and for bringing good food and good times to so many, and for so many years. We wish you all the best in retirement!

    Cafe Baci never disappoints. The staff is always lovely and entertaining. The food surpasses expectations and is the best Italian in Sarasota. My husband always gets the chicken parmesan and swears it is the best he has ever had. I like to mix things up and try new things. Which leads to the specials! These little creations are sweet surprises that should not be overlooked. You should be sure to save room for dessert but if not, end your meal with a delicious espresso, cognac, or limoncello.
