the young lady who met me at the the reception area said "Do you want me to sat you now?" On our way there I said "FYI it's seat you now" she said "thank you I've been saying that all night" she was young and very sweet how is it that management or any staff didn't help her by training her properly............. SERVICE::: waitress was not familiar with the menu when I asked if there was any onions or garlic on the bread because I am allergic she said" its just regular pizza bread" my girlfriend ate it and said yes it does don't eat it.......... I told the waitress and she said "oh" I asked for some plain bread she told me" there is none sorry" I explicitly told her please no grated cheese on my food yet when it came it was allover my pasta....she said "oh I didn't look" I said well take it off and get me pasta without grated cheese.....she did................ food was excellent huge portions............train your people!!!!!

Always a great meal at Cafe Baci. Good variety of dishes and the portions are very large. A single dish can serve 2 or 3 easily and are so reasonably priced its almost unbelievable. Be prepared to bring food home and enjoy it again.

What a great experience! The staff was so accommodating for my step son who is in a wheelchair. They made sure our table was perfect for him. Every member of the staff we encountered was so wonderful. The food was off the charts amazing. We will definitely be back!

As always the food was delicious. The waiter was a bit slow, but it was understandable, it was pretty busy and he appeared to be new. He was very nice and polite. My family and I have gone to Baci's for over 15 years! It's our favorite go to Italian spot.

Food used to be so good. Completely downhill on every meal we ordered. Chicken Francese tastes like a salt shaker. Chicken Milanese and Veal Milanese had no flavor and completely dried out. The pizza margherita was a pile of dough. Brought out the wrong pasta choice for my son. Then we had to wait to pay the bill. I’ll never go back unfortunately a fan favorite is now a distant memory.

3 of 7 of us became ill after eating. Food was plentiful but poor quality and tasted. Drinks were good and the service was excellent. Unfortunately due to the poor quality of food we were very disappointed in our meal.
