    Service was a bit slow but very kind and enthusiastic. Fettuccini Bolognese was fantastic as was the Eggplant Parmigiana. Shrimp Scampi yummy but could use a couple more shrimp. Lemoncello martini was superb. We were glad to be in a booth to fight the noise level.

    My wife and I enjoyed a night out at Bacco's and spend first part at the bar. The bartender was very friendly engaging. She was busy but still took time to chat. When we moved to the dinner side the service was perfect. Our server was very nice and spent time to talk with us. The food was first class and the ambiance was just what we were looking for; quiet and upscale.

    Absolutely delicious. I have gluten issues and our server worked with me. The best gluten-free bread I have ever had! Delicious gluten free Brussels sprouts. Husband had Caesar Salad with blackened salmon which was mouthwatering! Crème Brûlée and caramel Cheesecake for dessert was sinful. Server was a delight and very helpful! We will be back soon!

    Great news menu items, the new panini is really good! Try it with a bottle of Tormaresca. Service by Becca, Ali and James was fantastic. They are always welcoming and funny. A good time was had by all. This place is a gem, if you get a chance try their new upscale pizzaria across the street.

    A great meal at Bacco with some delicious new menu items... Try the fettuccine or the new pasta primavera. Servers Ali and Becca always take great care of us and bartender Amanda recommended a very nice bottle of Barbera d'Asti. The food is consistently good and the service is excellent. Bravo Bacco!

    Gnocchi dishes were quite good. Gnocchi al Tegamino and Gnocchi Gorgonzola. Gnocchi was light and fluffy. Very good sauces. Brussel Sprouts appetizer was tasty though a more apt description would be, "a sprinkling of pancetta dust" instead of listing it as "pancetta" in the dish's description. Shared both the Broccoli Rabe and Broccolini. Broccolini was cooked nicely. Broccoli Rabe was very disappointing. Watery and tasteless. Very different Broccoli Rabe recipe than I've had in other restaurants. After each of us took a bite (2 people and one had never had Broccoli Rabe before) we left the rest of it. Our wait person was not very attentive though the restaurant was not busy especially for the first 45 minutes we were there. Really wish she would have paid as much attention to her customers as she did to her Halloween costume. Maybe she was very committed to portraying the character she was dressed as who isn't known for her attention to others. Guess we should have come dressed as Kermit. Other waitstaff personnel were helpful though which we appreciated. Possibly there were things in the back our waitperson was taking care of so she couldn't be out on the floor. Hanging wine bottle lighting was interesting. Do wish the bottle right above my head hadn't had a big chunk out of it. All in all it was an pretty fair experience. I could see that patrons were getting service, the food was good except the Broccoli Rabe, and there is plenty of parking. I wouldn't rush back but if someone wanted to go there I'd go again.

    My wife and I went out for a date night and had a great time at Bacco. The ambiance of the restaurant was superb and very warm and welcoming. Our waitress we had was outgoing and made the dinner welcoming and comforting. The drinks and food were fantastic, kudos to the staff for a great date night meal and we even had room for dessert. Though the dinner was a bit pricey, I would strongly recommend this restaurant for a dinner, special occassion, or get together. We definitely want to return in the warmer months however to enjoy outside seating.

    I ALWAYS love coming here and bringing new friends. We tried out the wine wall with our friends and we found a new bottle to take home. New changes are coming this week including happy hour, menu changes, and events for the rest of the year. Our server is is absolutely impeccable at his job and I will continue to request him as all mine and my guests needs were met. The owner always checks on everyone in the restaurant I love this he’s so hands on. I love you Bacco and can’t wait see y’all soon!

    Wow, good new stuff at Bacco... Try the fettuccine alla Genovese with braised beef or the primavera flatbread. If you don't do anything else def try the new filet panini, it's excellent! And if you Ali or Becca serving... Bonus! Wednesday happy hour starts at 2:30 now.

    Been there numerous times. Lately seems good has gotten more expensive and worse. Had a cappuccino and burger which cost $37. Burger tasted like a frozen patty with an odd (almost dirty griddle) after taste. Ate fries and bread instead of risking finishing the sandwich.
