Delicious food served that was nice and hot when it was delivered to the table. We have learned that service can make or break your dining experience and our server was outstanding!

We go to Bacio quite regularly. We had a really good wild mushroom flat bread. Great crusty bread full of flavor. My chicken Marsala was lacking. Or very much sauce and mushrooms. I substituted my mashed potatoes for pasta with Alfredo sauce. Very little sauce in the linguine. My Brussels Sprouts were delicious with the honey almond sticky sauce. Our serve did a great job, my husband had a filet which was excellent as always. The bar was filled and very very loud.
