Our dinners were delicious! But what really made our night was our server Kristen. She was amazing in every way a server should be... knowledgeable with good suggestions, attentive without hovering, very nice and we enjoyed chatting with her. It was our first time at Bacio, and we will def be back! Thank you.

Such a cute concept! The food was really excellent. Small bites that reminded me of a “high tea” vibe but with yummy cocktails instead. Though it’s not in an actual old train car, it is impressive how they create the ambiance of one. My only criticism would be that though there was Christmas music playing, it was very quiet and we could hear every word of conversations next to us. My wife and I said we would do this again though next year if there’s another menu to experience.
