  • Took a date here on my mission to try any and all legitimate Italian restaurants in town as new ones pop up. I was slacking on trying Bacio so I finally wanted to check it off my list. Get there for my reservation and Nicole the hostess was friendly and walked us to our 2 top next to the window over looking the pool. The restaurant looks very Miami with white everywhere. It looks very nice though. They bring bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to the table in what I would describe as a small gravy float. The taste was very good but then problem is what with the gravy float type container the olive oil and balsamic was in it is impossible to get the correct oil to vinegar ratio because the balsamic sinks to the bottom and the dish is too deep to get the vinegar without the oil washing most of it away. The quality was great but a shallow saucer with the same mixture would be much better. The serve comes to get our appetizer and drink orders. My date orders a glass of wine (very nice wines on the list) and I order an Aperal Spritz. The server comes back after about a minute and says they are out of the Aperal wine, I pointed out it was a liquor not a wine. He comes back shortly with both drinks. The spritz was made perfectly. The waiter was either new to Bacio or just didnt know his menu very well as there are only like 6 cocktails to choose from. For appetizers She orders the Cesar and I order the Caprese. She enjoyed the ceasar and the caprese was good as well. Great quality tomatoes and olive oil with Bufalo mozarella. I wish there was larger pieces of basil though and they were micro slices instead. Different but it didn't really take away from the great quality I just would have loved it more if they had larger pieces of basil. We order out entrees and she orders the Tagliolini Neri ai Frutti di Mare as she was in the moos for seafood and I order the Salsa Rustica with Spaghetti with Buffalo Mozzarella. We get the dishes after a perfect wait. The portions were fairly generous for the quality of the ingredients. She really liked her Frutti di mare and I was pretty impressed with my pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was nice. The pasta was much better, twice as big and better flavor that that of Scarpetta at the Cosmo for a few dollars less. Side Note: While we were eating Carla was dining at a table right behind us with a guy in a suit. She is an attractive women and the pictures are accurate as to how she looks, not some stock photo from 1982 as many chefs and celebrities use. On several times during our meal she was talking and venting about her divorce of Frank Jr. from RAO's. Getting emotional as I can only imagine it had to be. I am always one to mind my own business unless someone makes it my business. I just feel it's inappropriate and unprofessional for a chef and owner to vent anything out where the public can hear or see her getting emotional about issues that the diners should have no business hearing. take it in the kitchen or stay home if you can't keep it together. It's easy to get caught up in emotion but as a professional there is a time and a place and your business isn't it. Now on for Dessert. We decide to share the the Tiramisu. I am a Tiramisu connoisseur. It is my favorite dessert of all time. Cannoli as well but Tiramisu is top of the pile. It is a dessert that had pretty specific ingredients yet every restaurant seems to have such drastically different consistency, flavor and presentation. That is also part of the intrigue of the dessert to me. The portion size is fairly large and very nice presentation. It had 2 small cookies on the plate with the Tiramisu. The favor of the Tiramisu was different. Not in a bad way but not in the way that I prefer either. It was creamy but the coco and espresso favors didn't balance out right with the other flavors. It was not bad, it just wasn't as impressive as the rest of the dinner was. The 2 cookies the size of a half dollar were the best part of the Tiramisu. So the star was not something you would really find traditionally. To me the appetizers and meals were a solid 4 stars. Very good food. The server was decent, even though the server didn't seems to know his menu all that well. I had to ask the server for dessert instead of him suggesting it and trying to up sell. He was a nice and friendly guy, he could just use some more experience at Bacio. I would say he was about 40 so it wasn't for lack of experience in general, just at Bacio. The unprofessional behavior of Carla was a bit of a disappointment even though it didn't take away from the dinner. For this reason I am giving it an over all of 3 stars because of the small downers even though it is easily a solid 4 star restaurant.maybe just an off night my date and I went. I love the name Bacio for the place too.
