Absolutely one of the most consistently best Italian restaurants we have been to. You would be remiss to not try the specials- they are always amazing. We had the sea bass with crispy leeks and a veal chop parmigiana that did not disappoint. Service with Bryan was top notch, we were never left wanting. The bar also serves the best expresso martinis to either start or finish your night. And Tony is a fixture at the door with wonderful hospitality- without a doubt a neighborhood gem!

Baci is a Bay Park classic. It is obvious by the clientele; the restaurant was jammed yet the wait staff were moving at light speed taking care of everyone. Tony, the owner, waits tables, pours wine, fills all the gaps when he sees them!

This was our first time dining at Baci . We were welcomed warmly and invited to select our table since our reservation was at 11:30 am when the restaurant opened. A lovely setting. I asked our server about the seafood dishes. The special was a Petrole Sole with a lemon caper butter sauce and a special gnocchi made on site. That's what we ordered. We were served a basket of delicious hot bread baked on site with infused extra virgin olive oil and garlic outstanding! My Petrole Sole was perfectly executed cooked as if I made at home delicious! My friend's gnocchi was also outstanding. We were very pleased with our meal choices. We did feel the Petrole Sole was overpriced at $42.00 a generous portion of fish with two pototo wedges, broccolini, and one roasted baby carrot. The lunch menu I reviewed online before we went to Baci. That was not the lunch menu we were offered they used the same dinner menu. Our lunch was $75.43 for 2 people no drinks, appetizers, or salads. That's a bit much for a lunch.
