We went here for our anniversary dinner. Although the server was kind, the atmosphere feels a bit off. The drink was average nothing exciting to write about, the server came back to top off my drink bc it was presented in a smaller martini glass and he couldn't fit it all in the first run around - which is fine. The calamari came with fries, weird, but fries were very good! Crisp and light, just how I like my fries to be. The breading on the calamari was too excessive. I wasn't feeling it and so was my husband. My seafood spaghetti was good but nothing to wow about. My husband got the steak wrapped prosciutto, he said it was not bad but also wasn't steakhouse quality. To wrap this up, we probably won't be back. But it's nice to support your local small businesses at least once, don't you think?

TL;DR- everything was excellent, will definitely be back!We started with the caprese, it was fresh and tasty. For dinner my wife ordered the bistecca romana (filet), while I had the rigatoni paesana (penne with a spicy red sauce).The rigatoni was very tasty. A modest dish featuring a creamy sauce, very well executed.The bistecca was a real star though. I couldn't help but admire the presentation when it was brought out- the thick cut stood tall on the plate surrounded by sauteed mushrooms. But it was more than a pretty face, cutting into the meat it was prepared perfectly (medium rare), and delicious!We'll definitely be back again!

Cute atmosphere! Food was delicious, Everything we got from the appetizers, the main course, drinks and desserts didn't disappoint. It's a small place, We made reservations,,wasn't sure if there could be a wait so better safe than sorry! The service was fairly slow but friendly. We arrived at 6:30pm and didn't leave till close to 9pm. Lots of long breaks in between orders.. it Appetizers and drink order 1st ..Appetizers came out within 15 mins but our drinks didn't come out till 30 mins later...it was that time frame for the whole dinner, didn't come back to take our main course order for another 20 mins or more,,,but Overall the food made up for it all, it was absolutely delicious!

The food was delicious and plentiful. We took home enough for another meal. We had the rice croquettes, lasagna, and lemon shrimp with capellini. We drank a bottle of house wine. All was wonderful. The ambiance was okay, not terribly romantic. I understand there will soon be live music on Thursdays. We'll go back for that and the good food. We might order less next time.

Went there for a birthday dinner and was so happy we did. The dinners were excellent. We tried the lobster ravioli, marsala chicken, chicken parm and a penne with sausage. Started with the bruschetta and it was one of the best I have had and I really like the pink pasta sauce. All the portions were generous and the service was very good.

The food was excellent and surpassed our expectations. Literally one of the best meals we've had out since before the pandemic. Our daughter who lives in S. Cal bought us a gift certificate. She didn't realize how far Normandy Park is from Shoreline, but we sure are happy we discovered great restaurant and we WILL be making that trip again soon!! Highly recommend Bistro Baffi!

This place has a really good vibe, the food was just as good and the owner was very welcoming. I will definitely be back
A quaint Italian restaurants with the best food and service in the south end - clean, comfortable seating and fresh ingredients. Steak was cooked perfectly and service was lovely. We loved it when it was in Seahurst and love it now in Normandy Park.

We finally went in on Thursday night after driving by a few times. Had been to the original ages ago. Had a delightful evening. Very friendly service and terrific food. Great portions for food and wine, compared to many restaurants nowadays. We'll be back.

Decided to “try that bistro” I drive by every day and am I happy I finally did! Not only was Tina a wonderful hostess, and barkeep, but the food was obviously made with pride, down to the homemade bread! Tina was so welcoming it felt like I’ve always known her- to find out her old location in Burien was on the same street I grew up on! Lovely place, calm, welcoming and the feeling of being cared for.

I honestly really want to like this place. It's a great looking place that's walkable for me. The reputation from the old location was great but the food is not great (my last dish was over salted, my pop was flat, the chianti was sour), I never knew who my server was (3 waited on us). Been there twice and have been disappointed both times.
