This is the best Italian food I have ever had and I have been to Italy many, many times. Absolutely superb. Melt in your mouth gnocchi with a delicious beef ragu sauce, rib eye with gorgonzola sauce, desserts were glorious, tiramisu and lemon cello gelato. Wine choices were very good. Excellent service. Make a reservation! only 9 tables.

Tucked in a small, low end strip mall in nothing area is a true gem. We were taken here by friends who swore it was amazing, and they were right. The owner turns out to be from Italy, goes back often for 'supplies', and it shows in what he is able to create. We have been back often and can recommend the lasagna, the wild boar pasta, and lamb chops for sure. It's a small place, you will need reservations, but worth a visit.

Really delicious food, speedy and thoughtful service, and so much authentic Italian fare - from the decor, to the menu offerings and the actual execution of the meal. We will be back for sure!

Generally good meal spoiled by a few things. Entrees were great. Sides were meh. Roasted veg was clearly scratch made, but arrived cold. The kitchen misinterpreted our waitresses ticket and misfired an entree. Later we learned that she had to pay for it. Is this standard? Seems like mean spirited management to me.

I have been craving Italian food for ages. We were told about this hidden gem in Lacey in a strip mall and it was hard to believe it was going to be so incredible! It's truly authentic Italian food. Great service and wonderful food! We had the Caprese, the best Caesar salad, handmade butternut squash ravioli, and a seafood pasta special - all were exceptional! Our 3 year old ate everything and loved the friendly chef waving at her from the kitchen. Definitely make a reservation, because space is limited!

Excellent food and service. Will definitely go back. Small with 9 tables so would recommend reservations. Top of my list for Italian.

Top-notch Italian Experience! You can taste the quality of the food and the preparation of it in every bite. We ordered two of the specials on the chalk board that the waitperson takes the time to share before ordering.We ordered the Rib Steak with potatoes and grilled veggies, and the GF pasta dinner with lobster and prawns. Both were prepared perfectly...I enjoyed the pasta most, as it was a lighter meal. And we enjoyed the flourless chocolate torte for dessert.This is a special place that we will visit on special occasions, but we will definitely be back!

I need to go back and try some food, haven't had the opportunity to try different variety of things
99% of the time my wife and I go to "mom and pop(privately owned)" restaurants. We moved to Lacey Wa from NorCal a year ago so we have had the opportunity to try a lot of new places. Lucky for us we found Bacco. A very warm and cozy restaurant with super friendly staff. From beginning to end we had a wonderful experience. I had the best lasagna that i have had in over 20 years. Layers of tender noodles, great sauce and the proper amount of cheese. Most items we had were made on premise. The price was very reasonable. If you are looking for a great place to have a really good, intimate dinner this is your place. I would call ahead to ensure you get a table. Enjoy !!

Mushrooms souffle delicious. Good wine, and light, tasty spaghetti with tomato sous and chicken. I am enjoying my food and atmosphere.

What a charming small Italian restaurant!! The food is made fresh here, the portions are large and I really liked the hosts we had! My husband and I had a chuckle that the Christmas decorations are still up but it brings a smile to the experience! I will be back!
