Bacetti is a wonderful neighborhood Italian spot with a cozy, intimate vibe. The handmade pastas are the highlight—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Everything feels fresh and thoughtfully prepared, from the appetizers to the mains. Service is warm and attentive without feeling rushed. A great place for a relaxed dinner or date night, and definitely somewhere I’d return to.

My sister and I put in an order for both rigatoni dishes (amatriciana and carbonara) and brocolini. Amatriciana and brocolini came out quite slow which was expected because of a busy Saturday night. Waitress started cleaning our table and gave us a dessert menu when I realized they forgot to put in the second pasta dish. Spoke with waitress and got that sorted out. My sister asked the waitress if someone forgot or is it just slow back there. Waitress awkwardly said they forgot to put it in and didn’t say anything or apologize after. Afterwards waitress didn’t say anything to us and feels like she ignored us until we got out second pasta and I asked for the check. She brought gelato and set it down on table (we did not order this) without saying anything. I assume this was a consolation for not putting in the second pasta order originally but my sister is lactose intolerant and couldnt even eat it. Some kind of acknowledgement and apology would have been better than that. It was a weird experience. Food was good but not sure I’d come back due to the service.
Also paid $15 to valet but I parked my car and the valet driver came into the restaurant to give me my key and didn’t even move my car from where I originally parked..? Feels silly.

Yum. Little salty, but yum. Excellent ambiance. Focaccia is phenomenal as you’ve likely heard. If you’re a red dining book holder you should go. Use the free entree to order more than you would have and you will definitely be happy with some of the pastas. I liked the short rib ragu

Actually a 3.5, not 3. Food and ambiance were good. Ragu was not good or worth it.
The focaccia and mushroom campanelle were really good though! Server was nice but they seemed either short staffed or not
staffed well.
Attentiveness was not there to justify automatic 20% gratuity.

Baleigh and Danni took care of us. The service was awesome. They both knew the menu well and recommended dishes which were vastly different from the others.
Food was so good we forgot to take pictures.
Come for the food, stay for the service. Enjoy.... cheers 🥂

Checked out this place for the first time recently and will definitely be back for more.
I’d recommend to make a reservation if you’re going on a busy night. We arrived on a weekend night and it was quite busy. The hostess was welcoming and put our name on the waiting list and suggested we grab drinks at the bar next door.
The wait time was just about what they said , we got the text about 15 mins earlier than estimated.
Food was good. Focaccia and broccolini were a star of the show. I’d go back just to get multiple orders of those two dishes.
Overall , amazing. I’d absolutely be back.

The food was good, but the service was really disappointing.
We were running late and called three times — no one answered until the fourth call. When we finally got through, we let them know we were on the way but running behind. They said they would “try” to hold our table. We arrived just 17 minutes late, and they told us, “We gave away your table.” They offered to put us on a 30-minute waitlist and suggested we could sit outside in the meantime.
The outdoor menu was very limited — mostly snacks and pizzas — but we were hungry and had come for dinner. The server didn’t say much, just poured water and came back five minutes later asking, “You ready?”
About 20 minutes later, I checked back with the host about our table, and she said it was still a 30-minute wait (which honestly made me laugh). The food we did have was good, and I really wanted to try their full dinner menu since the place seems to have great food — but the service experience completely ruined it.

Food was great, but the service was subpar especially with a 20% gratuity automatically added (even though we still left an extra tip on top). There were plenty of good seats available, but they put us in a corner, which was questionable. Overall, the place was just okay.

Food was so amazing and the staff were so warm and friendly. The fettuccine alfredo sauce was creamy and smooth.
I’m glad we picked this spot for our last dinner on vacation 💞

We came in as a walk-up on Saturday and were told we would have a slight wait, which was completely fine with us as we sat at the bar while we waited. While I understand that Saturdays are busy, I feel like the staff was scrambling to get things in order. It took a bit of confusion but once we were seated at the table in front of the kitchen, it seemed noisy but nice. Our waitress came to us promptly and took our orders. After that interaction though, we seemed to be a bit invisible to the wait staff. We did not get any check-ins while we waited for our food, and in the end it took almost an hour for our meals to arrive. The pastas and the broccolini were amazing, but in the end the attention to our table soured some of the night; we felt a bit like an imposition and an afterthought. I don't think I will be visiting again - the food was great but certainly not worth the price due to the other aspects.
