'This spacious, romantic eatery pairs contemporary Italian cuisine with great views of Boston's historic North End. Bacco's first floor is home to a beautiful mahogany and granite bar where patrons drink from an extensive wine list and catch sports highlights on one of two flat-screen TVs. The restaurant's French doors are open during warmer months, allowing guests to feel like part of the action along Salem Street. Diners on the more formal second level devour plates of linguini carbonara, chicken cacciatore and lobster ravioli while enjoying views of the city.'- Citysearch Boston

    We LOVED our meal at Bacco and will be back. The Chicken Parmesan , Chicken Marsala and Gnocchi were all a 10/10. We loved our upstairs table! The waiter was a little forgetful but it was very busy.

    When we come to Boston we always stop in at Bacco. Delicious food served in a great atmosphere. Even if we just sit at the bar we order the bowl of olives. Who needs dessert when you can have olives?!

    Hostess was extremely accommodating with my party arriving late. Good ambience … beautiful night with windows open. Artichoke appetizer and Cesar salad were favorites. One martini ordered was is a smaller than average glass and only half full. Our server was very hard to communicate with … possible language barrier? He mumbled so we couldn’t understand him and ask questions. Overall a pleasant experience.

    Originally I called to make a reservation for 8 people because open table couldn't make my reservation. When I called the only time was for 8:30 and this was during the St. Anthony's festival . After some thought we decided 8:30 was too late for dinner so on open table we booked two tables for 6:30 for 4 people each. I called and left a message to cancel the 8:30 reservation. The host called me left me a message and said that he noticed my wife and I booked 2 separate tables. We'll just sit you all together at 1 table for 6:30. You can cancel the other reservation. Now that is service! The food is excellent. The staff was great. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend Bacco

    We had to order our appetizers, entrees, etc. all at once. The dinner arrived before our appetizers. The service was very rushed which is unfortunate when you are paying good money and hoping to enjoy your night. Food was pretty good. The butternut squash ravioli was rich but tasty.

    The hostess was super nice when we arrived and seated us quickly . Unfortunately, we had a 8:30 reservation and it took 40 minutes for a server to even acknowledge us. We were seated upstairs and there were maybe 4 other tables filled; it was not very busy. The food did come quickly and was good. We ordered the food and the waiter asked if we were splitting anything and we said yes. I’m not sure if this is common and I’ve never heard of it, but we got charged a “split fee” on our bill for 4$ which seemed ridiculous for something we could’ve done ourselves had we not mentioned it. We also did not have any of the bill reduced for the very long wait (which was totally fine and we were happy to pay) but no one came to apologize or really address it which would’ve been appreciated. Miscommunication happens, but we were disappointed in our overall experience.

    Ultimately, food was bland and service was average. Definitely overpriced for what we experienced. Went to change our reservation an hour and a half ahead and found there was an open table for every time slot on a weekend evening. That seemed weird to me given all the people crowding the streets during their summer vacation.

    This was my first time at Bacco and it was absolutely phenomenal. The hostess who greeted us was so pleasant, & saw to it that we were seated right away. It was a Saturday evening and pretty busy, so I was impressed right off the bat. We were seated at a nice table for two upstairs. The exceptional service continued with our bubbly waitress, who was a delight! I had a Rosé Spritz as my cocktail, and the butternut squash ravioli for my entree. My partner enjoyed a seafood ravioli special they had & loved it. He had been here prior and just introduced me to the restaurant, and I’m already so excited to return. Keep up the fabulous work, can hardly wait until next time!

    First time at this restaurant. My wife and I were visiting Boston as part of a conference. I wanted Southern Italian food so we headed to Bacco. Simple local place. Waiter was very attentive. We had some drinks and ordered dinner. The caprese salad was OK. Not authentic as at other perhaps finer Italian restaurants and it had lettuce with we thought was odd. I had the veal marsala and my wife had the chicken picata. My veal came with polenta. My wife's dish had risotto. Veal was not as tender as I would expect but acceptable. The polenta was great. My wife's chicken was good but the risotto was not as flavorful. All in all a bit better than mediocre.

    Anniversary dinner. Food was good. I had a salmon special that was like 3 entrees in one. My wife had cheese ravioli which was hot, fresh and house-made. Ambiance was typical for the north end. (We ate upstairs) Prices are up significantly since published on OpenTable but appear to be accurate on their website.

    The food last night was excellent as always. There were empty tables during our entire meal. Our server paid little attention to us. Our entres were brought out before the first cource had been cleard. When we were almost finished eating our server asked if we wanted cheese on out entrees. My wine glass was empty after the first course, but I was never offered another glass of wine. We have never had service so poor at this restaurant before.

    We were sat upstairs against the window. Had a great night with friends. We had the Stag Cabernet - nice flavorful wine. Had prosciutto and mozzarella and calamari for apps. The also provided delicious bread to dip in oil with balsamic vinegar. For main course had butternut ravioli so fresh and tasty. My husband had the shrimp scampi which was delicious. Our friends had lobster ravioli and mushroom ravioli. All enjoyed! I had tiramisu for dessert it was delicious. Our friends had the lava cake and also reported it was delicious. Great service and friendly staff. We will go back!

    I never write these reviews but I have to after such a disappointing night. Reservation was for 7:30 and we had no issue waiting an additional 20 minutes for our table and sat at the bar. The highlight of the night was chatting with the bartender while we waited. Once we got our table it was the worst in the restaurant and we were constantly bumped into by staff and other patrons. Then the food arrived and it was awful! No flavor at all. Service was underwhelming as well. All in all this was such a disappointment for us and we expected more in the North End.

    Reservation for my wife’s birthday. The hostess read my note on the open table reservation and took pains to get us a quieter table. Our waiter, Brian was attentive but not obtrusive. Food was very good. I had Porcini Ravioli and my wife had Chicken Romano. We were very happy with our meals and will come back. Thank you for a nice evening.

    The ambiance was a lot louder than I thought it was going to be, especially the upstairs dining area. I took a date there last night. We were still able to hear each other, but it was pretty noisy. The food and server were terrific. And the prices were reasonable.

    this was our first time at Bacco and the food and service were exceptional. Our waiter was very cool and was happy to make recommendations and even served us free leftover espresso martini. The only thing we struggled with here was the noise level. we sat downstairs next to the bar and had to scream at each other to hear the whole time. But i’m assuming it’s quieter upstairs. Overall great time and i’d go back 100%
