My favorite Italian place on Oahu! Such a cute, homey restaurant with incredible food. We've made this our annual Valentines Day place.

Small portions. Lobster Ravioli should be an appetizer. I did not have a reservation so I opted for pickup. Sadly, there were only 5 Ravioli noodles in this "dinner" dish and 1 of the 5 noodles had no filling. I'm not sure how that one made it out of their scratch kitchen at all. For $25 I am still hungry. The few raviolis I had tasted great, but the portion for the price + receiving an empty ravioli noodle, I'd say, there are probably better options for dinner in general, unless you're looking for a very expensive snack.

Love this place! Newly discovered, passed by so many times and never noticed, it is hiding between two buildings. Food is amazing, just perfect amount of salt and spices to hit your taste buds. Desserts are great too, sampler plate was a winner.Nice place overall, great service, presentation, ambience.One note! Please fix the bread, it is too light and soft.

We didnt reserve a table and got bar seating which turned out to be a HUGE win. The staff was very nice and the food was michellin star level and the atmosphere was FUN! The owner was there stepping in for someone who couldnt make it and was working as hard as anyone else there. It was so gopd we ordered an extra eintree.

We took mainland visitors here last night. As usual, service was excellent. The Osso Buco is my husband's favorite. I had the Veal Scallopini and it was excellent. Our visitors had Osso Buco and the Ravioli special. We also shared a lovely salad with fresh mozzarella.

New Jersey Italian-American here. Used to GOOD Italian food. Baci is the only Italian restaurant I can eat at on this island. Best Italian food on island by a landslide. The only place other than Sabrina's that makes it authentic, tastes like grandma used to make. It's comfortable, reasonably affordable, and they've got a little of everything! Each dish is as good if not better than I can cook myself, and it doesn't break the bank as bad as you'd expect. Ambiance is cute, quaint, and laid back rather than super fancy. They don't seem to care if you wear slippas or heels, which makes it an easy choice, whether you want a fancy date night or a simple night out so you don't have to cook for yourself. Spectacular food, done the right way, and doesn't hurt the wallet as bad as many other Italian joints do for crap food.

Every year we make it a point to dine at Baci. Kris, the owner of, is friendly and attentive. The food and ambience is always great!

Food was good but service was poor and we were seated right near the waiter's station so their backs were to us the whole time. Prices were a lot higher than they should be. Probably won't go back.

Vegetarian options: Our party included vegetarians, but all of us ordered vegetarian options. They were all flavorful and well made!Dietary restrictions: We enjoyed the subtle nuances of flavors in our Fettuccine Alfredo, Ravioli, and Gorgenzola Gnocchi. Our party agreed each of us had a spectacular dinner.Thank you for your hospitality!

Good service, good food... A bit pricier than it needs to be for the food, but the ambience and service makes up for it.
I really enjoyed my experience. I lived in Kailua for almost two years but never had the opportunity to dine at Baci. I am here on vacation and put Baci on my to do list and I was not disappointed. I did not realize I needed reservations and we truly lucked out and were able to get a table. The service was excellent and I loved the atmosphere. My dish was excellent. I would visit again!!!

I heard mixed reviews regarding this Restaurant. Most were good reviews. I came in with an open mind and I'm glad I gave them a chance. The staff were great Everyone made sure we were taken care of. We sat outside and it was beautiful. I had started with the shrimp scampi and it was so good I was tempted to get another serving! For my entree I had the pork chop and it did not disappoint.

Food is delicious and the atmosphere is great! Great location for a date night.
Baci Bistro in Kailua has been One of my favorite restaurants for over 20 years. Their Food is delicious, ambience is aesthetically pleasing, and traditional Italian, but most of all the Owners and employees are friendly, inviting, and always courteous and professional. Baci Bistro is One of the best restaurants on Oahu.
