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.

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.

Had an amazing time here! Got the lobster ravioli and butternut squash ravioli and both were mouthwatering good. I sipped on a lagavulin 16y on the rocks for a very reasonable price. Amazing date spot with the open windows on the 2nd floor. Thanks to my bf who brought me on a date here!!

Absolutely delightful! The food selection is incredible, and all of our selections were done to perfection. Very nice wine list - something for everyone. Of course, an ample cocktail list. Attentive waitstaff who do not hover. Cozy environment. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and time there. Will definitely go again.

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!

WE had limited time and kind of last minute we headed to the North End around 4:30 on Saturday December afternoon between the holidays. The North end was busy! The smell of Food and pastries was in the air and the streets and sidewalks were a sea of people. Excitement filled the air ! Bacco did not disappoint. We were greeted by a gracious host and asked if we had a reservation, of course we did not. WE spoke for a minute talked about here we were from and if we had been there before. The bar was packed with Thirsty guests and our host was scanning the room and found us a table which they quickly converted to seat 3 , our last minute non-reservation situation vanished and we were seated quickly . Our waiter Brian provided us quick , efficient professional service with no rush . We ordered drinks and were served delicious bread with EVOO and balsamic vinegar.the Moretti Lager arrived with a chilled glass and was perfect, the house Pinot Grigio was also enjoyable. Ice water refills ere constant and perfectly timed, indicative of a well oiled , well managed staff. For appetizers we ordered the fried calamari with cherry peppers, and the artichokes with “Picatta “ style sauce. The calamari was crisp and fresh , the sauce sublime, and the cherry peppers were also fried and just perfect. The artichokes I could eat every day and the sauce was mopped up with some more bread! Entrees included A Seared salmon with jumbo shrimp and spinach ravioli , Picatta style. Awesome all around , excellent quality Fish and shrimp- definitely not rubbery tiger shrimp , somewhere around the u15 size. The linguini with shrimp , scallops and lobster “carbonara style” was just off the hook as far as decadence and two people could share it after apps.Good quality shellfish once again . I had the Veal Parmigiano, which was just as perfect as expected at this point with al dente linguini on the side sauces to perfection , tender and what you would expect in a REal Italian restaurant Like Bacco. Cheese was grated table side by our waiter and zero skimping was the name of the game - my kind of preferred cheese experience. Cracked black Pepper was also offered. Overall , our experience at Bacco met our lofty expectations Of the North End food scene . We will return and recommend it to everyone. Thank you , for seating us without a reservation on a super busy Holiday weekend, thanks for everything about your restaurant, The Capodanno Family

Very polite and professional staff, enjoyed having a dinner and chat with our friends! We ordered Lobster ravioli, shrimp carbonara, and chicken cacciatore which were delicious. Highly recommend restaurant in North End!
