    Cute little Italian joint in downtown Healdsburg. The main dishes can run a tad pricey, but it's a fun night on the town. Also, seems like the staff is always trying to upsell on dish upgrades. Burrata: Such a great appetizer. Tons of creamy burrata on top of a toasty baguette slice with lots of onions in between. All the right textures and flavors. Carpaccio: Kinda like beef sashimi. Super thin slices of high quality beef flavored with lemon, capers and nice slices of parmesan. Not as filling as the burrata, but still great. Vitello Parmigiana: Like chicken parm, but much fancier. Apparently the veal is from Pennsylvania. It was super tender, maybe even more so than chicken. Thin and pounded with a nice breading, loved all the cheese. Spaghetti Bolognese: Got the upgrade on the Vitello Parmigiana, where this pasta replaced a plainer pasta. Love that the spaghetti was fresh and tender. The bolognese was meaty. It was *almost* too much food, but I was hungry. Limoncello Mascarpone Cake: I asked if they had limoncello as an after dinner drink, but they did not. However, they had this cake. It was creamy and had that nice tart and alcoholic limoncello tang. Chocolate Temptation: Several layers of different chocolate things. Love the contrast of light milky chocolate and intense dark chocolate.

    My friends & I were in Geyserville for wine tasting at the Francis Coppola and Trentadue wineries. The Trentadue sommelier recommended Baci in Healdsburg. My friend made the reservation at 5 pm. It has been a while I had not been back to Healdsburg downtown. We were led to our table. It's a clean restaurant. Our server was patiently waiting for our order as we were eating family style. We did not have any wine to drink but hot water. The 4 of us were given separate little hot kettle & cup with sliced of lemon on the side of the saucer. We ordered Insalata di Carciofo con Rucola to start the meal. We had Rigatoni con Salsiccia, Pollo alla Livornese & Costata di Manzo Brasato. The arugula and shaved artichoke hearts salad with the paired dressing was delicious. The chicken breast was tender and moist. The rigatoni filling had the small portion of flavor meat. The short ribs were tasty and tender. We all enjoyed the food. We did not have dessert anymore as we had the chocolate bars in our wine pairing. Overall we likely to return to Baci if we are in the neighborhood.

    We had an excellent dinner at Baci last week. On our annual trip to Healdsburg, we always make a point of eating dinner there. Their menu has so many delicious looking things, but I cannot resist their Insalata di Barbabietole. There is NO comparison with any other beet salads I've ordered elsewhere. This year, I paired it with a yummy French Onion Soup and my husband enjoyed his Osso Bucco. It was his birthday, but he never has dessert at a restaurant. He prefers to take it to go and enjoy it later. Our fabulous server, Sherri, knew we were staying at a local Airbnb, so she made sure we could properly enjoy his Tiramisu and included a candle! Lisbeth is always so gracious and we got lucky to have the "sweetheart's table" in the front, away from the noise from the busy restaurant. Thank you, Baci!

    What a delectable dinner! After almost 5 years in Healdsburg this was our first visit to Baci and it won't be our last. When our Saturday night plans fell through, we hungrily meandered through town. As we walked by Baci we decided to give it a try, and although busy, they welcomed us and fit us in. We really enjoyed the fresh, flavorful Italian eats and the warm and attentive service - our server is from Rome (gotta love that!) and he was knowledgeable about and helpful with the extensive menu. We started with Acme bread and olive oil and some local wines, and here's what we ordered: *SPERLUNGA - A selection of 3 (or 4) Appetizers for the Table at $ 22 to $ 30 per person - we were eyeing three salads so this was the perfect way to sample them all: 1. Burrata - Fresh Mozzarella stuffed with Cream on Grilled Bread, Sautéed Leeks, Pancetta. Topped with Roasted Tomatoes, Pesto & Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2. Insalata Tri Colore - Wild Baby Arugula, Endive, Radicchio, Shaved Fennel, Commanche Creek Cherry Tomato in a Lemon Balsamic Vinaigrette 3. Insalata di Pesca - Dry Creek Farms Peach, Fresh Burrata, Pistachio, Basil Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Balsamic Reduction & Balsamic Pearls -this is a summer special using the best local peaches! IYKYK *Bucatini all'Amatriciana - Bucatini Pasta with Pancetta, Onion, Garlic, Tomato Sauce, Chili Pepper & Pecorino Cheese $ 25 -the bright acidity of the tomatoes, the salty pancetta and pecorino, and the slight chili pepper punch! Simple and yet sumptuous! This dish brought me back to summer nights in Italy! *Gnocchi alla Bolognese - Traditional Slow-Cooked Meat Sauce made from American Kobe Beef, Veal & Pork Ribs, tossed with House-made Gnocchi $ 32 -my guy absolutely loved this (although he may have loved my dish more!) We loved everything that we ordered and cleaned our plates; saved no room for dessert. But we'll be back for sure. Baci is old-school Italian in food, service, and setting. If you're looking for Italian comfort food, give them a try. Buon appetito!

    This is one of our favorite restaurants in the area. The ambiance is lovely and the Italian food is superb. The service is second-to-none. Gino is our preferred waiter and he is a delight. The owners are working there and everything is perfect. You MUST have dinner here if you are in town. Classic Italian with the most wonderful wine selection...just perfect for a Healdsburg visit. We eat her every time we are in town. You will not be disappointed. Guaranteed!

    Osso bucco and rissoto
    Michelle O.

    Located right off Healdsburg Plaza in a high ceiling barn-like structure, Baci Cafe is a warm and inviting Italian restaurant. Seems to be a local's favorite as the chef visited with guests, with only a few tech bros eating while we were there in March on a rainy Saturday night. We started by splitting a Caesar salad, which honestly was that not that good and quite dry and bland, despite the anchovy flavor. I ordered the short ribs and polenta, which were fall off the bone delicious in a rich sauce with creamy polenta for $39. My husband had the Osso bucco and mushroom rissoto, which he said was delicious but not a large serving and super expensive at $55. The vegetable sides were average with peas, carrots, broccolini. We ended the meal with crème brule cheesecake which was quite delicious, drizzled with caramel sauce. I had indicated it was my birthday on the OpenTable reservation but there was no acknowledgement or free dessert, which was dissapponting. For the two meals and a glass of champagne and sauv blanc plus tip, it was nearly $200. We really liked the food but it was a higher than we like to pay considering it's indoor dining only and not an "experience" restaurant.

This was such a beautiful wine and music lounge and i'm very excited to visit again.

Great service, a fantastic $15 medium rare (my personal favorite) burger with grilled onions, cheese, and a smoky umami flavor, regular order sized, and a separate generous little gem salad with Danish blue cheese ($13) plus fries ($6). It's a concise menu, but the burger is good and each offering is full sized and high quality.

We were completely blown away by the thoughtful menu, knowledgeable hosts, and warm hospitality from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, Kyle welcomed us and seamlessly guided us through the experience, sharing the rich history of Williamson Wines alongside detailed stories behind every dish and glass. Both Kyle and Jesse went above and beyond to keep our group engaged and exceptionally well cared for throughout the entire meal. The culinary offerings were outstanding. The chef even came out to check on our table, presenting six expertly crafted courses. As someone with food allergies, I was especially grateful for how attentive the team was--strictly accommodating dietary needs and seamlessly providing tailored alternatives without missing a beat.
