    Warm welcome from the host. Grabbed a quick cocktail during happy hour with very friendly service. Enjoyed our dinner and service with John. The Crab Louie salad and deviled eggs were scrumptious. The mussels and fries also packed a ton of flavor. Never take the white cosmo martini off the menu. It’s the best!

    I took my girlfriend to dimmer and a show for an early Christmas gift. I was very nervous about picking a place to eat before the show as I am mew to Philly. I did I ever het so lucky. Bistro LA Baia was hands down one of the best experiences we both have had. The food was absolutely amazing. I give it a 5 star all the way around. It is a must place to enjoy a byob. Please give it a try and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

    This cozy restaurant turns out great food and very good drinks. It’s noisy, but in a comforting way. The menu is varied blending ingredients in a novel way. It works. The service is attentive, but not rushed
