Baci Ristorante offers diners a hint of old world Italian charm, with plush booths, white tablecloths, and gracious servers clad in tuxedos. While the decor is subtly modern, the menu is classic, celebrating Northern and Southern Italian cuisine. Specialties include classic pasta dishes, veal, and fresh seafood, with especially tempting daily specials offered by Executive Chef Domenico Alioto. In addition to the cuisine, the restaurant's charming and welcoming features--include an extensive wine list, elegant patio setting, and romantic main dining room--have made Baci a consistent favorite among locals for over 30 years.

    Baci is hands down the best Italian restaurant in San Diego! Everything is crafted to offer an exceptional dining experience—from the warm and inviting ambiance to the outstanding service and remarkable food. The menu is simply a masterpiece. And the daily specials take it to another level. Each dish is beautifully presented, with perfect timing between courses to enjoy the flavors. The taste? Absolutely jaw-dropping. The grilled octopus, pasta with lamb ragu, Osso Buco, and finally, the crème brûlée were all outstanding and delicious. Baci is a must-visit for any Italian food lover—or anyone who appreciates great food, excellent service, and a cozy ambiance.

    Team Baci never let you down. From Mario at the bar to Mario in the dining room, they are customer focused with a aim to please. Excellent wine list! The OssoBucco is a must have. A true neighborhood gem!

    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!
