   Very peaceful, Very good food, best sports i’ve ever tried. Our server ‘Murnal’ was very amazing, suggested great wine and gave us complimentary drinks for our anniversary.

   Everything is always excellent, a bit pricey but that's downtown Austin I think. I like the Baci Bar for a quieter and more comfortable place to eat. They provide or at least offer some bread with the meals. When we asked for a slice of focaccia we were told they could only provide an entire loaf.

   I really like this place! Food, drinks, and service is great. I just don’t like how happy hour is only available on the outside patio or bar. Today was interesting because multiple homeless people walked by and disturbed the ambience. There was also a protest that strolled through, which was annoying. This isn’t the restaurant’s fault, but it is located on a busy street.

   Everything was great! We had a variety of items including meatballs, beet salad, branzino and a pizza and it was all delicious. The only thing I wish was different about this restaurant is the ladies restroom door visibility. Had a bad experience in there. Please make the door more private.

   Everything took forever at 6pm including 30 minutes for desert that we never got because we had a show. Food was all okay.

   A truly excellent Bolognese! This place is perfect to dine before a concert across the street at ACL Moody's. Consistently great food and your steps from the rest of your evening.

    Waiter was great but this restaurant is VERY expensive! We only ordered apps and drinks and our bill was almost $400!! So we won't be going back, just way too expensive!!
