    Baci’s specializes in catering! We specialize in drop off and full service catering. Please contact us to discuss your catering theme and we will be happy to plan your event. We require a minimum order of $100 for catering. Catering prices mostly based on entree size portions. Pricing will be lower in many cases if ordering is made in the form of platters and chaffers. For example, our pasta and salads are priced as entrees. We can cut both prices per person if you order on platters and chaffers because each plated food portion would be less than ordering Ala carte.

    We had to wait for 40 mins just to get our order. And others who came later than us were served first. Then we had to wait for another hour for our food to get served. When we told them it’s taking long, the waiter just gave a stern look. No apology whatsoever. Noise level was really high. They need to work on their acoustic treatment. Food was nice and hot

    The service here is quick and great. Restaurant is a little crowded inside and does get loud at times during peak periods- which is normal. If you want a more intimate experience or date night then I would come during non peak hours. The crab gnocchi is worth while. The risotto balls were a bit too cheesy. I had them before and they were not (not sure if recipe changed) but if you love cheese- go for it Overall- a very cute Italian place for a nice fancier family dinner.

    Went to Baci for my wife’s birthday. The place was hopping, with two big groups having a great time. The service was excellent from the moment we walked in the door. Salads were very tasty, I especially liked the berry salad. We had filet mignon and lamb shank, with each being cooked and flavored to perfection. We very much enjoyed our evening at Baci.

    This is a hidden gem that transforms simple rockfish into a culinary masterpiece. Their grilled rockfish arrived perfectly seared, with a delicate, golden-brown crust that gave way to incredibly moist, flaky white meat. Seasoned with just a hint of lemon and fresh herbs, the fish tasted like it was pulled straight from the ocean that morning.
