Il Bacio Italian Grill & Pizza

Excellent food and nice staff. Beware of automatic gratuity for having a larger group together. We got burned on that last year but came back because of the great food.

This just goes to show you that you still need to check out restaurants, regardless of reviews. This place is downright one of the best kept secrets in Wake Forest. This place is one of the absolute best places in the state to get authentic Italian food and their yelp rating makes no sense. People are so quick to leave bad reviews, but will leave a restaurant satisfied and won’t leave a good review. This is one of those spots where you’ll visit and you’ll never forget it. Their pizzas are flawless. Their pastas are incredible. Everything we’ve ever had is downright amazing. The staff and the service is incredible. It’s locally owned by a small family and they’re always there busting their butts off to make amazing food for this community. This spot is a must try! Highly recommended!

Have eaten here many times over the last 10-ish years, and I have to say that the quality and service has seriously degraded to the point that I wouldn't recommend anyone wasting their time and money here. The only reason I'm writing this is because of how disappointing it is that such a good restaurant has gone so far downhill. They used to serve delicious food with higher quality ingredients at a reasonable price, but we just went again after about a year and the food was mostly flavorless with poorer quality ingredients. The service was subpar with our server forgetting parts of our order multiple times. My dish was supposed to include shrimp, shredded crab, and scallops. There were two pieces of overcooked shrimp, no crab that I could tell, and some of the most pitiful likely fake

Overall Score: 2.3/10 – A visually appealing Italian spot with timely service but overpriced and underwhelming food that fails to justify its cost. Atmosphere and Service: 6.0/10 – The restaurant looks great both inside and out, with a clean and well-maintained interior. The staff seemed nice, and the food was ready on time. However, the online menu, while offering customization and plenty of options, lacked detail about the dishes, which could leave customers uncertain about what they’re ordering. Mozzarella Sticks: 1.1/10 – Extremely disappointing for the $12 price tag. The taste was average at best, with nothing unique to make the dish stand out. The portion size was small, making this feel like a rip-off. Penne Alfredo with Chicken: 2.2/10 – A very underwhelming dish, especially giv

This restaurant came highly recommend and I'm so glad that we went. My husband and I really enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere. The wait staff was so nice and friendly. Even gave us great advice on meal options. The owners wife was so sweet and welcoming. The meal was so good that we actually ordered food to go the next day. Would highly recommend!
