Always a great meal at Bacco. My husband had the salmon and said it was the best piece of salmon he ever had, so mild. I had the Pollo al Limone and it was delicious. Both meals beautifully plated and delicious. Our server, Kamrin, was super busy but very gracious.

Bacco is nothing if not consistent. Always clean, the food is always good, this is a well run restaurant. Today’s lunch was mussels and a panini, and you can’t beat that (2 for $17) anywhere! Server Becca couldn’t have been any nicer! Bravo Bacco!

Another fine lunch at Bacco! Try the new meatball flatbread, it’s really good with feta instead of ricotta. Server Becca and bartender Mel made a gloomy day much better. Bravo Bacco!
