Baci Ristorante offers diners a hint of old world Italian charm, with plush booths, white tablecloths, and gracious servers clad in tuxedos. While the decor is subtly modern, the menu is classic, celebrating Northern and Southern Italian cuisine. Specialties include classic pasta dishes, veal, and fresh seafood, with especially tempting daily specials offered by Executive Chef Domenico Alioto. In addition to the cuisine, the restaurant's charming and welcoming features--include an extensive wine list, elegant patio setting, and romantic main dining room--have made Baci a consistent favorite among locals for over 30 years.

• French • Hillcrest
Booked 1 time today
Located in the heart of Hillcrest, Au Revoir Bistro saw it's first day in November 2010, a new born of the Mastellone family (Arrivederci, Il Postino, Buon Appetito, etc etc). Typical Parisian French Bistro, Au Revoir, has a casual ambiance and an atmosphere that transports you directly to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Our French Homemade Cuisine is a perfectly inexpensive recipe, a little bit of tradition, an ounce of modern French cooking inspired by different regions, and a big cup of love from our Chef Dédé and his team. Some of the house specialties are "escargots", "soupe à l'oignon", "boeuf bourguignon", "coq au vin", "frogs' legs", ...Et Voila !

    There is absolutely no place better to enjoy a special occasion, date night out or in our case to thank a special couple for always being in our corner. Bacc's staff make you feel like you are the only people in the room and take every opportunity to make sure you enjoy your meal. Thank you to the excellent staff and customer service from the valet staff to the incredible kitchen/meal prep staff.

    We live in Las Vegas and every time we travel to San Diego we have to go to Coronado and experience Chez Loma. We love the food and the dining experience. It is a cozy and small place. Great outdoor seating. We always prefer to eat in the bar area. The food is lovely and the service is perfect. Our waiter this evening was Gab. He has been there 6 months and goes to San Diego state. He was so awesome. That’s for the enjoyable evening once again. See you next time.

    This is our favorite place for quiet lunches. Closer than a trip to small town in France and the local bistro. They make you feel special. Moules are to die for
