| - My first question when I walked into Baci was, "How long have you been here?" The answer? EIGHT YEARS!!
I was just stunned. I am so sad I never knew they were here before now. I'm so happy to know about them, now!
Our family had gone to celebrate Mother's Day and my mom's birthday, courtesy of my brother. What a treat!
It's nicely painted and holds a goodly number of people. There is a lovely water feature in the middle of the front dining room. There are tv's for people to watch, and an assortment of booths and tables.
You can definitely bring a group or your family.
Warm fresh bread, crusty on the outside and soft inside, was served generously; there is butter, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil for the bread. You do not need to order appetizers, but they're tasty.
Appetizer portions are small-ish but are priced low (about $7) so that you can order more than one and have a nice variety to share. We ordered the fried antipasti with three selections: zucchini, mushrooms, and cheese sticks. It came with huge portions of marinara and ranch to share.
Then the salad or soup (you choose) was served. Salad was a nice, generous portion of mixed greens with a few crisp croutons and dressing. I enjoyed the bleu cheese dressing with my salad.
By this time, I was feeling fairly surfeit.
And then the food came out.
These portions are easily enough for two people (and I like to EAT).
Dinners are, on average, about $13-$16. Of course it's more of you're having veal, less of its just pasta and sauce.
I had the chicken broccoli Alfredo. Huge. I got through about 1/3 of it.
Husband had lasagna and he managed half, but he feels sorry for himself now.
My sister and brother had the Pasta ala Baci; sister asked for it spicy, brother asked for extra sausage.
Mom had fettuccini Alfredo with brocolli.
Sister's 3-yr old grandchild had a child's portion of pasta with one meatball and sauce on the side (child's portion was still would have been more than I could have eaten). Sister in Law had Tortellini Paisano in a vodka sauce that looked great.
Everyone was making "those noises" as they ate. So delicious.
The pasta is clearly handmade; if you've ever made your own pasta, you can absolutely tell. Firm but tender al dente, no mush. The Alfredo sauce was thick and creamy and there was plenty of it (I hate it when restaurants are chintzy with sauce!), the chicken tender and juicy, the broccoli perfectly tender-crisp.
Husband pointed out that if you don't like your food, it's your fault, because they'll literally do it any way you want. He's right.
However, after all of that, my favorite part about the restaurant was the pride evident in the staff. They like what they do. They're rightfully proud of what they're doing there. It was a pleasure to experience. I can't wait to go back!
Next time, I'll skip eating appetizers and some of the bread, and get dessert!
