We had a wonderful dining experience at Bacio. The waiter was the key to a very enjoyable evening. Even though the noise level was high, we had a great table for conversation.

Our waitress was exceptional! We were originally seated in a very crowded and noisy area. She moved us to a much more comfortable portion of the restaurant.
