Fantastic! Been here only twice and the food is perfecto 👌🏽 The ambiance has been hit and miss. Tonight (Sunday) was not too busy so the indoor noise level was perfect. Last time we were here there was a larger bachelorette party that was sat halfway through our meal and it got Loud! But you come back for the food. …
We had an incredible evening sitting at the bar for dinner. Our severs and TJ at the bar were so entertaining and the food was absolutely delicious. We had two vegan meals - spicy spaghetti and a vegetable risotto and Lilli sorbet for dessert and our non-vegan friends absolutely loved their meal as well especially their famous cheesecake. Great spot …
Came here on a recommendation from Uahi Grill’s bartender who raved about their truffle gnocchi. You need to make a reservation. Food was delicious, bus boy was always fillings water and taking empty plates, waiter didn’t keep us waiting long and was friendly, atmosphere was cozy and decor was nice. Owner Chris came to the table and she was very …
My daughter says this is the best Italian food she’s had on island. I fully agree! I’ll definitely be going again next time I’m in town!
Loved our dinner here. Cocktail recommendation: The Bee’s Knees, fantastic. Great food, great server and a really nice ambiance. Definitely recommend this place
All over excellent! Started with the Mussels & great bottle of wine.. Then we each tried the veal ( three ways ).. each bite of food was an explosion of ecstasy!! Wonderful service & atmosphere 🥰 The carpaccio was excellent too!!
Love this place; its one of our go-to places for dates. I've never had a dish here that didn't taste great! My favorite is the vitello al limone, but they have different specials on different nights and those are always really good too. Our go-to dessert is creme brulee, and I love that they toast it right before they deliver …
Reservation worked out. Server Chanelle was awesome. Lobster Mac special of the day was great. Was our first time and will be back. Atmosphere was eclectic and cozy. Plenty of wine to choose from, a lot of seafood items, with fresh tomato. Ceaser salad is perfect and the garlic shrimp was amazing.
Been going to Baci Bistro forever but first time reviewing this excellent neighborhood restaurant. Always great service, friendly and casual with terrific food and wine selections. Montepulciano is a favorite! Nice outdoor lanai with fun vibe and traditional and cozy interior. Make reservations as restaurant is intimate although there is bar seating. Parking easy in back .
Love this place! Excellent food, atmosphere and service (and I’m from the northeast!) Easily the best gnocchi I’ve had - they were like pillows! I had an inkling that the pasta was freshly made based on the great taste / texture but I had to ask to confirm. The only recommendation I could make would be to state this on …
