    An absolutely phenomenal Restaurant with wonderful service and delicious food ! Everything is very elegant and simple therefore very warm and comfortable. The food is in the perfect Italian with excellent products prepared with precision and love. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a good time and a delicious meal. I especially recommend the tiramisu coming from the owner‘s mother‘s recipe and their truffle pasta that is to die for.

    This was a business lunch and was defect. I always have the tuna main course and order a glass or bottle of Grillo white. I usually order calamari as a starter to share. It always works brilliantly. My guest’s fish dish was supposed to come scattered with clams but it simply had about a dozen empty clam shells on top. He mentioned it to the waitress and they took it away and re-prepped the plate. It was embarrassing but not a disaster!! All in all a lovely venue.

    My partner and I had the pleasure of celebrating Valentine's Day at Bacco Restaurant and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance set the tone for a romantic evening – soft lighting, cozy seating, and the faint aroma of fresh Italian dishes wafting through the air. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding a personal touch to the experience. We started with a bottle of Pecorino, recommended by our server, which paired perfectly with our pasta.
