Customer Reviews
DELICIOUS!!! Here for an early dinner for our first time and the restaurant did not disappoint! We went for the Lobster Ravioli and it was worth every penny. A sumptuous pink champagne cream sauce with stuffed ravioli that were perfectly prepared and topped with shrimp. Large portion with plenty to savor and even some to take home. Wait staff was cordial and pleasant. Highly recommended and I hope to return in the future.
Not Great, Not Awful its ok. Food is good not amazing. Protions are good, prices are on the high end. PARKING IS AWFUL, VERY LIMITED. The restaurant is loud and you sit close to over dinners. Very tight seating. I would go again as take out Not dine in.
The host stand did a great job finding us a table and seating us expeditiously despite the business. We were comfortable where we were sat. Our server, appeared to be distracted definitely came back to have our drink order repeated. Forgot to check on the table, ordered a second drink and it didn't come until my meal was finished and didn't apologize for the 25 minute delay of not having the drink on the table. Also shows, 25 minutes of lacking service. Food, calamari was good, the baked clams tasted a little fishy. We ordered the chicken and shrimp scampi and I'm so happy we ordered 1 dish to share. The dish lacked flavor, felt soupy and the pasta was definitely not al dente. This pasta was short of being in a soup, just completely underwhelming and soft.They gave us 3 pieces of shrimp
Before addressing the food, I want to acknowledge that the front-of-house staff is doing a great job—they were helpful, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the dining experience itself was deeply disappointing. Cafe Baci is a forgettable yet unforgettable experience—forgettable in flavor, unforgettable in how low-quality and tasteless the food was. As someone who is Italian, I had far higher expectations. Calling this “Italian cuisine” is honestly a stretch. I lowered my usual dining standards to try something local, and that decision was a mistake. Every dish was bland and borderline inedible. My entire party lost their appetite—we left three full entrées untouched. To their credit, the manager removed them from the bill, which we appreciated. If you enjoy
Be warned, the wait can be long. Why? Because they don’t take reservations BUT if you time it right, you can be seated right away like we did when we went. Portions are huge and the food is delivered in a timely manner by friendly waiters. Well worth it! Note: the line for the bathroom can get long because they only have 2 bathrooms.
