Second time visiting and it wasn't as good despite it being less crowded. Everything was just okay. We had the Burrata which seemed smaller than last time and the Caesar salad. For entrees we had the veal parmigiana which was slightly over-cooked and the Veal Saltimbocca which is unusual in that that it in a Marsala reduction over two raviolis. I should have paid closer attention as I prefer it with mushrooms in a light wine sauce over ziti. The server was friendly enough, but it took a long time to get our drinks and then the entrees came before we finished our salads.

Very good! My boyfriend always gets ravioli two ways and it was delicious. I got the swordfish special which was a great center cut piece over two lobster ravioli.

My wife and I popped in for a drink one afternoon, and the bar managers were genuinely awesome. You don’t come across that kind of hospitality much these days — they took the time to chat with us and made sure we had a great time. Even scored an empty Grappa bottle for my collection — such a cool gesture. We really appreciated how they treated us. Definitely a spot we’ll be returning to.

We stopped by Bacco for a quick dinner and had a great experience. To start, we had the Caesar salad which had great flavor. For our mains, we had the chicken Parmesan and the seafood pasta special which was linguini with lobster, shrimp and scallops. Perfect sized portions (& enough for leftovers)!

Ate here 4 years ago while on vacation. I was very happy then so we ate here again. Did not disappoint! Food, drinks and atmosphere are all great here. Our waitress provided excellent, friendly service. The host, probably the manager, was friendly and took care of us and new customers right away. I was impressed that at end of our meal he came over to ask each of us how our dinner was. He wanted our feedback from each of us. We all finished our plates so good job! I highly recommend Bacco.

Popped in with no reservations and was seated within five minutes. Service was great, food was exceptional and price was unexpected on the low side. If your in the North End this is a must visit.

I went to Bacco for Dine Out Boston 2025 and we got 3 courses for $46 which is a steal for what we ordered and how everything tasted! The seafood linguine was great, lots of seafood. It is a bit tight in the first floor and it was very busy that friday night so lots of people were trying to get through to get to the bar, but overall I enjoyed this meal. I would come back.

Popped in for a drink, amazing vibe had the opportunity to meet an awesome bartender Andrew, gave amazing drink suggestions and every time I turned around my water cup was refilled it was like magic and that is what excellent customer service is about. Awesome place I heard they are known for their espresso martinis which I will try on my next visit!

GREAT calamari, GREAT amaretto sour

I’ve been at Bacco a few times and felt compelled to finally write a review. The food is FRESH and you can tell there’s a serious chef in the kitchen. More importantly, they seem to have mixologists in lieu of bartenders. If you’re a cocktail person, you’ll LOVE this place. It’s the first place in Boston I saw and had a Paper Plane - they set the bar. Overall, a great neighborhood and non-neighborhood establishment that we all deserve to patron.
Best establishment in the north end! Food was superb, drinks were even better - Brian took excellent care of us. Definitely a must-try whether you’re a tourist or a local.

Caesar salad and chicken parm were delicious, bartenders were very friendly and made delicious margaritas

Food was alright. However our waitress was extremely rude for no reason. Can’t remember her name because she never came to help us. Short brunette who handled the back part of upstairs on Saturday night. The bus boy took better care of us than she did. Terrible attitude. Will never return

It was just so good

Great service. Food is mediocre. We had the sausage appetizer which was decent. But the veal Piccata and veal Parmigiana was vile. The plates came in shortly after the order like 3 or 4 min (right there something should tell you something is off). Large portion (that’s good), but no taste (insipid), risotto was just regular sticky rice with no flavor. The veal was dried up. Unreal. Expensive and no good. May be we got unlucky but can’t recommend at all.
