The Italian restaurant owner and waiter were so cute and nice! The food was amazing and we'll definitely be going back! I love that it's family owned with authentic Italian food from family recipes.

Had an amazing first experience at Baci Italian restaurant! 🍝 The diverse and impressive menu made choosing difficult, but every dish turned out to be superb. The attentive service enhanced the overall dining pleasure. The live music and dance floor, especially with 80's tunes, added a delightful touch to the festive atmosphere. It feels like a place with a rich history and a loyal following. Highly recommend for a great night out! 👏

My ski club has had our Christmas party there for many years. Food is always great, especially the salmon. There were options of petite filet and chicken as well. It's a very nice dinner. There's a dance floor and my club always gets a DJ. We always have a great time.

If you are looking for a restaurant that has perfected the art of consistent quality and service, look no further than Baci. Chef Angelo has created an extensive menu that provides the most discerning diners with an abundance of choices. We have systematically worked our way through the menu over the past seven years, and have yet to find a dish that wasn’t excellent. The sauces that chef Angelo creates are so good, that you might be tempted to ask for a glass and a straw. His wife Maria has the knack of making everyone feel like family. Live music on the weekends, wine pairing dinners, and other special events are even more reasons to make Baci your dining home away from home.

The Baci family make you feel at home in their very special restaurant! We have been going there for years. We had our son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Baci and everyone raved about the food!! Everything on the menu is awesome!! Skip Olive Garden and try Baci, you will love it!!!

Sat at the bar. No dedicated bar tender. Unbelievably bad service. Didn't put in our dinner order then when we finally realized and started questioning, it finally arrives. It was dry, stringy chicken parm. No sides, no bread, nothing. We sent it back, paid for our wine and left. We were there for 1 hrs 40 minutes and couldn't get dinner. So disappointed. Can't recommend.
