    The service was good but somewhat lacking. We were the only table we saw without bread and the waitress checked on us once after we got our food then disappeared for a long time.

    It’s Wednesday at Bacco and a very nice lunch was had by all! Try the Italiano Panini or the pasta with clams! Servers Ali and Lindsey are both excellent and Becca made sure we had a great dessert! Bacco is a gem!

    In comparison to my various other visits I found the food to be fair. The shrimp gondola was as bland and the toast points were hard albeit in the sauce. The Caesar dressing was also bland. It was my first time trying the risotto pescatore and the risotto was not properly cooked, it also lacked flavor. Lastly I didn’t like that the appetizer/salad/entrees were not staggered. Felt very rushed and service was sub-par.

    Lots of good stuff to choose from at Bacco… all of the paninis and flatbreads are great, also the mussels and the risotto! Enjoy it with a nice 1/2 price bottle of wine if it’s Wednesday. Servers Ali or Becca will take excellent care of you! Bravo Bacco!

    Overall, very nice. As a husband, my wife and I have a weekly date at Bacco. The only problem is their outsourcing of subpar bread. A lot of patrons have said the same. Everything else is rock solid. Thanks.

    My first time and first of all the service was great, waitress was patient and kind. The food was great with excellent presentation. I enjoyed the wine bar also and manager assisted when my favorite wine was empty. They brought out complimentary dessert with sparkler when discovered it was my birthday! Would recommend to all my friends !

    Bacco for lunch again! Yay! Try the shrimp gondola, the grilled octopus or the penne caprese! You can’t go wrong with a nice dry bottle of Barbera d’Alba. Ask for server Ali or Becca and you’ll get outstanding service!

    Bacco does a consistently great lunch, try the penne caprese or the raviolone sofia loren with a nice bottle of unoaked Tormaresca. If you’re lucky you could get servers Ali or Becca, or head over to the bar and hang out with Amanda, she’s excellent! Bacco is always a great time!

    I made a reservation for a high top through the open table app. They sat us on the patio and I explained that I requested a high top and clever had the reservation on my phone to prove it. There were multiple high tops open and the hostess said well your reservation doesn’t say that and I have nothing available. She dismissed me and told she could probably see if the manager would give us an app or something. There was no follow up and it was not relayed to our waitress. While we were seated, another couple was sat at a table near us and turned to the hostess and requested to be moved to a high top inside and the same hostess that told us no moved them. I was very disappointed! The meal and waitress were both great but the interaction at the beginning did leave a very bitter taste in my mouth

    I’ve dined at Bacco several times and everything has always been delicious. Unfortunately, last night was very disappointing. The appetizers were great, but the entrees and desserts my party ordered missed the mark. Our entrees were served at room temperature and were either over cooked (e.g., tough lamb chops) or under cooked (e.g., chewy flatbread). We ordered two warm lava cakes, both of which had no ‘lava’ because they were room temperature. I guess we visited this restaurant on the wrong night and it was just a miss. Hopefully, the wait staff will check food temperatures before providing food service in the future.

    Bacco's never disappoints. I got there before my friends and I was seated and was able to order. Not everywhere allows you to be seated before the entire party is present. The food and service are great. Will definitely return again and again.

    Great service and food. Noticing that some of the items were showing wear (table tent is flimsy, menus are showing visible wear). That combined with specials only on weekends makes me concerned that such a nice place has become stagnant. Additionally, while I know it is an Italian restaurant my fiancé is gluten free and there are very few appetizer options which are gluten free. This has significant lowered the amount of times we have come vs what we used to as it leaves her less options. Overall the dining experience was great and food was delicious. Just some items I have wanted to share

    I didn't opt for a "community table" online and yet that's what we were given. The food of course was amazing, but it was frustrating to see open tables where we could have been seated for our high-top reservation and yet had to sit next to a very loud couple which was a buzz kill especially for a valentine's day dinner. To be honest that shouldn't have even been an option for a night that was filled with couples celebrating. The waitress also wasn't exactly friendly (didn't state her name, specials, wines, or anything that usually occurs at Bacco). She seemed very rushed and was barely around. The most interaction we had with her was to take our little table menu. I would still recommend going to this Restuarant as the food is always perfect and this is the first subpar experience I've had out of the 10 times I've been there.

    The service was horrible! We waited 15 minutes for a waitress after being seated by the hostess. Placed our dinner order and after over an hour we still did not receive our food. When we brought this to the manager’s attention he seemed disinterested in our problem but offered us complimentary dessert — we just wanted the dinner we ordered over an hour before! The most frustrating part was watching people be seated, get served, finish and pay before we even got our dinner. And, it was not like we had a special order we asked for Lasagna, Chicken Parmigiana, Eggplant Parmigiana and Risotto. We were so upset we got up a walked out and then settled our bill the next day.

    Celebrated my daughters birthday. First time there. Couldn’t be any happier with food, service and the restaurant as a whole. More then enough food. All of us took home leftovers. Happen to go on a Wednesday so appetizers and wine bottles were half price! Our waiter was excellent! Highly recommend!
