    We really enjoyed our date night at Bacio. Good service, great selection of wines, appetizers, and entrees. We especially enjoyed the duck marsala.

    We enjoyed our overall experience at Bacio. Our waitress, while cordial and friendly, seemed a bit stretched. She did not return to ask if we needed anything after our food began to get serviced. We had to flag her down. She was available when one member of our party requested a bit more salad dressing but was no where to be found when another would have liked a lemon or tartar for the walleye. We think she was just spread too thin.

    The food and service was good but I was surprised the restaurant did not do something special for a milestone wedding anniversary celebration.

    I was disappointed to hear that Bacio no longer serves the Steak sandwich. However after talking to the restaurant manager, they were able to make one for me. I appreciated that especially on my birthday. The server was very good as well.

    Excellent food and service tonight. Bacio’s walleye dinner is perfectly prepared. Also, enjoyed the apple dessert and tiramisu. Thank you!
