Best Italian Restaurants in North Hills

Always excellent. Great pizza. Attentive staff and reasonable. All pastas are tasty and well portioned.

Initially we had a problem when we checked in. We had requested to be seated inside and they told us it was "first come, first served." The manager came over and was lovely. He comped us on glasses of wine and was able to find us a table inside in a reasonable amount of time. Our dinner was delicious. Our server was great. It's very noisy, but that's the vibe. We loved our meal and will definitely come back.

Excellent food and friendly, attentive service are the hallmarks of this longstanding neighborhood standout. The fairly large, varied menu includes a good selection of appetizers, salads and soups, as well as pasta dishes, risotto, pizzas (including a luxurious Tartuffo with shaved fresh truffle) and full-blown Italian entrees like chicken piccata or milanesa, steaks and lamb. Additionally, there is a deep menu of daily specials, and so everyone should be able to build themselves an enjoyable and satisfying meal. The well-tended bar offers an excellent cocktail program, and their extensive wine list should please any oenophile. Desserts are equally creative, including bread pudding, panna cotta, a banana Nutella tart, and a weekends-only tiramisu, among a number of others. This is a stellar Italian restaurant with a friendly staff and a busy-but-comfortable vibe. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation to visit soon.

Bacari is in a location that was once a French restaurant called “Rive Gauche.” It was a favorite of my mother’s and mine for twenty years. I cannot tell you how happy I was to see this reopen. It's a beautiful venue with gorgeous facilities, bringing back many great memories for me. I cannot say enough about my personal experience being there, but the food and service were excellent, and, of course, you cannot beat this location. I've already told three of my friends I'm taking them there. I lost my mother a couple of months ago, so it's poignant, but I know how much she would've loved seeing it now. Thank you, Bacari.

Fantastic friendly service! Waiter was very helpful with menu suggestions Food was delicious!
