“ I have never been here before and a friend invited me to brunch before doing some shopping. The location has ample parking, and as you approach, you find yourself by a beautiful patio that is well decorated and gives the feel of being in a quiet Vinyard. The inside was absolutely beautiful, with lots of arches and brickwork. We were greeted right away by a very kind staff member and taken to our seats. Our server was Tania who was absolutely amazing. She provided prompt service while keeping the mood light and fun. There was lots of laughter and fun providing us with a delightful dining experience. We ordered a bunch, and it was packed with flavors. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the potatoes were perfectly cooked and not soggy or dry. The wine list was fantastic, and the mimosas were ice cold, unlike some locations where it's lukewarm and tastes like watered-down oranges. I hope to make another trip there soon to try the rest of the food. Thank you Tania for the amazing experience! ”
“ Came here for lunch on a Sunday with my family and had a good time. We ordered chicken alfredo, tortiglioni rossa, two eggs breakfast, and bread pudding french toast. For dessert we ordered creme brulee, tiramisu, and the budino. Everything we ate was tasty but I would pass on the tiramisu next time as the liquor was a bit strong for my taste; however I am not an alcohol drinker which could be why it seemed pronounced to me. Staff were friendly and attentive. I would come again. ”
“ We stopped by for lunch, l enjoyed the Walleye sandwich and the Red Ale. My companion enjoyed her crock of french onion soup and a spicy Bloody Mary. ”
“ The interior is really cool. Love the calamari, it’s crunch outside and tender inside, the portion is really big. Both pastes are really good too. Definitely coming back to try other dishes some other time. ”
“ Fantastic experience! The food was flavorful, portions were generous, and the staff made us feel welcome. A great spot for a nice meal. ”
“ On a rare childless night, we chose to try Bacio. I’m so glad we did! This place has it all! The atmosphere was busy, beautiful and anything but boring. The food.... Where should I start, I suppose with the appetizers. We had the Pot Roasted Heirloom Carrots which were delicious, but the winner in appetizers for us was the Matchstick Zucchini. The zucchini was cooked perfectly and the flavor was unexpected and a delight. For the main course I chose the Risotto Pomodoro. This creamy meal hit the spot with the smoked tomatoes shining through giving this meal a delicious smokey flavor. This meal is very large, I got three meals from it. My husband’s main course was the Mediterranean Grilled Ahi Tuna. He really enjoyed it and had enough leftovers for a second meal. And before I forget, we both greatly enjoyed the Caio Baby salad. It was fresh, and the dressing was light and so flavorful. Make sure you at least sample the bread they bring to the table, it’s worth a bite or two, but leave room for your main course as I’m certain that whatever you choose the chef will have prepared you a delicious meal. While I wish I could dine here every night, or even once a month, I will share that for us this lovely, restaurant will have to be reserved for special occasions, alas food this food is not cheap, but worth every penny. ”
“ Exquisite experience start to finish for a low-key birthday dinner with family. The food was deliciously prepared and left everyone very satisfied. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Bacio is superb! ”
“ Bacio is one of my favorite restaurants in my neighborhood. Service is always excellent and super friendly staff. Nice atmosphere & nice decoration. We celebrated birthdays twice they were kind and made it special. Everything we tried was so good especially the mushroom soup was different and so delicious. The fillet mignon is always a good choice. Their fries is out of this world. When you start eating it you can’t stop. Highly recommend it. Prices are responsible around 60 per person. ”
