The service and ambiance were both fantastic from start to finish. Such a great vibe here! The bread service was a standout -- they even brought out a second basket without us having to ask (my favorite!)The butter was delicious too. For entrees, the burger was incredibly tasty and the top sirloin was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We didn't try any desserts, but their dessert menu looked yummy. Overall, a wonderful dining experience and we'll definitely be back to try more! read more

A cozy, romantic Italian spot made for slow conversations and soft lighting. The ambiance is intimate and warm. The food is classic Italian comfort, and the service was excellent with great mocktail options. I always go for the chicken fettuccine simple, creamy, and consistently good. It's the kind of place you don't overthink, you just return read more

Absolutely love Bacio's Happy Hour! It's runs from 3pm to 6pm every day and has so many options! Their turkey burger is so flavorful and with a delicious crispy bun. I have not had a pasta I didn't like. Their ahi tuna crips are my favorite thing on the menu. The service has always been fantastic and the building is really elegant! Parking is always available but sometimes pretty full as they are busy! read more

This was such an awesome dining experience! This will most certainly be on my radar for my next special occasion meal, as the food, ambiance, and service were all top notch. When I asked the server what was popular, she suggested the Toriglioni Rossi and seasonal ravioli. We got both, and split them 50/50; the kitchen even did the split for us, so we each got two plates of pasta. The seasonal ravioli was fantastic: corn and bacon ravioli with a creamy sauce and basil/fresh tomato garnish. Just thinking about that ravioli makes me want to plan a return visit to experience it all over again. The long standing sausage penne dish with peas was tasty, too. We also split a Caesar salad, which was equally delicious. The bread basket was served warm. I have no notes on the meal; they did everything perfectly. read more

Bacio has a classic Italian feel that immediately stands out. It feels like the kind of place where you'd see families celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, but it's also comfortable enough to stop in for lunch. The service was friendly, and the server recommended the Coconut Seafood Risotto. The flavors were good, the coconut milk and red curry worked well without overpowering the seafood. My only minor critique is that the shrimp and mussels were on the smaller side. Other than that, it was a really enjoyable meal. I'd definitely come back and would recommend giving Bacio a try. read more

We went here for the first time as an early New Year's Eve dinner. It's very cozy inside with exposed brick and dimmed dinner lighting. We had a reservation, arrived a few minutes early, and were seated immediately. We got a nice table near the windows where we could enjoy the sparkling lights. I chose the butternut squash ravioli as my entree. We started with the Parmesan shrimp as our app. Warm bread was delivered to our table as well after we were asked if we were interested in getting some. Everything was delicious. The shrimp was nice and hot with a perfect coating of parm keeping it light and tasty. Ravioli had a nice topping which created a good contrast of textures. It came in two sizes and the smaller portion was more than enough for me. We finished our meal with a shared crème brûlée. Creamy custard and a crispy top was a perfect end to the meal. Service was excellent. We were well taken care of and never felt rushed despite it being a very busy night. Great stop. read more

I live in the area but had never been before but came this week for dinner and was impressed! The interior is so pretty and I love the stone detailing through the center of the restaurant.

Difficult to find parking though so plan accordingly because it gets busy! read more

Bacio - Italian Near Me - Minnetonka, Minnesota

Busy parking lot with Marshalls right next door but there are plenty of spots. Great energy and vibe as soon as you walk in the door. Fancy casual feel and is family friendly. Our server Dave was definitely a highlight of the night. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and was very attentive and friendly. Great service just adds so much to the entire experience. Order: Started with the bread service. There is nothing better then warm fresh bread and whipped butter. Brasiliana salad with lemon vinaigrette. Great crunch from the crisp cold lettuce. Hearts of palm, fresh tomato and shaved white onion added great complimentary flavor. But the surprise taste was from the thinly sliced celery..just enough to be interesting but not enough to be overpowering. Make sure to add fresh cracked pepper and parmesan cheese. What I really appreciated was that they pre split the salad into two separate portions for our table of two. Asparagus ravioli. Visually was a stunning dish. The homemade pasta had great texture and the right amount of chew. The filling was the essence and celebration of asparagus. Little crispy bits of pancetta on top added the crunchy texture. Chicken piccata with homemade angel hair pasta. This is a destination dish. The bright buttery lemon sauce with capers compliments the fresh pasta perfectly. The chicken was crispy, flavorful and juicy. I could eat this dish every day and never be disappointed. Cherry apricot crostata with vanilla gelato. Perfect dessert to end the meal. What is a CROSTATA you're asking? It's a fancy way of saying if a pie and tart had a baby. It was flakey on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The filling was perfectly balanced with the tart cherries and sweet apricots. The vanilla gelato added the creamy element and created the perfect sauce as it melted from the warm crostata. Overall: Great atmosphere, great service and great food. read more

Great food & service, it's like a home town gathering spot. Love the shrimp. I can't say enough about Bacio! !

Similar menu to ciao Bella but with a few twists on the menu. Relaxed environment, at least at lunch time when I've visited.

Bacio - Wild mushroom ravioli - Italian Near Me - Minnetonka, Minnesota

Bacio has been around a long time and makes really nice Italian food, provides great service that makes you feel special, and has great ambiance. Prices are pretty modest for the level of quality you get, which makes it a great value for a special night. And it is a more unique place that you don't get as much out in the suburbs. It can be pretty busy, so I would recommend reservations. Three of us went there for dinner recently and had a great experience. The food is fresh and tasty, with great ingredients and attention to attractive plating as you can see from the attached pics. Great for a romantic date night (but if you're old like me, the menu may be hard to read in the dim light! ;)). They also have a great happy hour, but again the bar fills up quickly! read more

Met my friend here for dinner couple weeks ago and it was my first time here. It's a beautiful place with great service. Food is good but nothing to rave about. Our server was great but I can't remember her name. As soon as we were seated a basket of bread with butter was brought over to us. The bread was really soft and perfect with the butter. We decided to skip apps since we wanted to save room for dessert. My friend ordered the Wild Mushroom Ravioli and I got the Braised Short Rib Papardelle. The Ravioli was delicious stuffed with mushrooms and had sherry, goat cheese, tomato, cream, evoo and arugula. I thought the Goat cheese was going to over power all the other amazing flavors but it was very well balanced. It was a very delicious dish and my friend loved it. My Papardelle was too al dente for my liking and my friend agreed with me. Our server took my dish back and brought a new one for me. It was way better the second time but felt like the Papardelle could have used another 30 seconds or so. The flavors were very good with sherry, cream, mushrooms & herb gastrique. The Short Rib was so tender it just melts in your mouth. We opted for two desserts the cherry-apricot crostada & the Budino. The crostada had a well balanced sourness and sweetness to it. It was a perfect ending to the dinner. The Budino was a molten chocolate cake with vanilla Gelato and chocolate sauce. The cake was so moist and delicious and very chocolaty. Perfect if you are wanting some rich chocolate cake after dinner. All in all it was a good experience. read more

Charming, Italian-style restaurant in Minnetonka. Bacio has a wide variety of food and drink options, something for everyone. The happy hour is fantastic. Service is great. Prices very reasonable. In summer, there is a nice patio (view of parking lot, but they do a nice job hiding this with plants). Extra star given because of Bacio's mission-driven approach- they often donate amazing packages to MSP based foundations to help raise money for important causes, thanks Bacio! read more

I have never been here before and a friend invited me to brunch before doing some shopping. The location has ample parking, and as you approach, you find yourself by a beautiful patio that is well decorated and gives the feel of being in a quiet Vinyard. The inside was absolutely beautiful, with lots of arches and brickwork. We were greeted right away by a very kind staff member and taken to our seats. Our server was Tania who was absolutely amazing. She provided prompt service while keeping the mood light and fun. There was lots of laughter and fun providing us with a delightful dining experience. We ordered a bunch, and it was packed with flavors. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the potatoes were perfectly cooked and not soggy or dry. The wine list was fantastic, and the mimosas were ice cold, unlike some locations where it's lukewarm and tastes like watered-down oranges. I hope to make another trip there soon to try the rest of the food. Thank you Tania for the amazing experience! read more

We went to Bacio for my daughter's birthday. Service was excellent. The bread they bring out before the meal was the best toasted bread I have her had. I could eat endless bread because it was toasted to perfection. Don't be afraid to ask for seconds. I had the Chicken Piccata and it was so delicious I can't wait to go back. It was even better than some lemon Italian dishes we had in Italy last year. Everyone in the group loved their food. We had the beef tip appetizer which was delicious and full of flavor. They have a great wine list and I had a delicious high end red wine. Worth every dollar. We will be back shortly. read more

Business Meal [Minnetonka MN] Our Party of 7 dined here on a weekday and for a Monday evening the restaurant was packed. They have a dining room and patio seating. We walked in and immediately what strikes me was the beautiful, castle-like high-ceiling open interior. We had made an early reservation so we were seated immediately. I ordered the Porcini Crusted Dry Aged Ribeye garnished with white cheddar mashed potatoes, herb butter, mushrooms, and grilled asparagus. The porcini mushroom rub created a deep flavorful coating for the steak and I enjoyed all 12-oz of it. LoL! With our complimentary freshly-baked bread w/ butter we also ordered the following: APPETIZERS: Bruschetta Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms ENTRÉES: Grilled Pork Chop Hangar Steak Chicken Under a Brick DESSERT: Creme Brûlée Our server was great and attentive...my lemonade glass was never empty. This restaurant came highly recommended and I'm glad I had a chance to try and experience. Review #3113 read more

This was a lovely restaurant! We stopped by for lunch one day and ordered a spicy pepperoni flatbread, smoked turkey sandwich, and bacon wrapped scallop lollipops. We weren't a fan of the scallop flavor but did enjoy the other items. The flatbread was fresh and well topped with pepperoni. The turkey sandwich was more on the sweeter side but I loved the whipped cheese and apricot chutney. The ranch here is also one of the best I've ever tried. Very flavorful and pairs well with the fries. The service was great. The server was very attentive and had a great suggestions. The ambiance is beautiful. Lots of space, natural sunlight, and art. We came during lunch so no reservation was needed but as we were leaving it definitely started to fill up and seemed like a reservation would be great for dinner. read more

Hadn't been here in a couple of years so stopped by on a Friday night for an adult dinner with some friends. It was pretty busy and very few tables available. It was lively. It has that old school charm without being pretentious. Nice vibe. We were seated right away (we had a reservation) and got our waters almost immediately. While she was pouring our waters, the server came over to get our drink orders. We ordered a couple of cocktails. The manhattan was good that I had. For starters, we ordered the Parmesan crusted shrimp and the calamari. The shrimp were good with a nib=ce crust and came with an aioli and cocktail sauce. The aioli was very good to dip the shrimp in. The calamari was also decent although the rings smelled a little fishy and not as crispy as I have had before. The shrimp was definitely the winner here. For entrees, we got the crusted sea bass, the short rib and the pasta. All were very good but their Peso Crusted Sea Bass is really very good. Some of the best in the city. The short rib was also good and very tender. It was fatty which the server warned me about before I ordered and wanted to make sure I was ok with it. I was. Overall a good meal and a nice dinner out. Need to go back there in less time than last time. Will be visiting here again. read more

First time we went to an italian restaurant and they did not include bread . It was a 33.00 price for chicken marsala They had a limited weekend menu eggs, salads, sandwiches, soup and no pasta. We were really looking forward to a hot italian dish. We decided to leave since it was taking a while for our waitress to return after we had a chance to look at the menu. We met another employee who said that we can order off of the main menu. For the price the serving looked rather small. I detected two pieces of bone and left them on the spare plate that I guess was meant for bread. I mentioned it to the gal that picked up the dirty dishes. Since the menu did not mention anything that was included and the waitress did not seem to notice we had no bread. My husband left a good tip, a separate one for the waitress and another one on the actual bill. read more

My friend and I had a happy hour out on the patio recently at Bacio. We each had a small pasta dish and shared our salads with each other. It was such a lovely night and the food was absolutely delicious! I actually flagged down the manager after using the restroom to tell him how overjoyed I was that he had scent free soap in the bathroom and no pumped in fragrance. As someone with sensitivities to fragrance, I always carry my own hand soap, and sometimes must use a mask to avoid gagging on the air freshener in the rest room. It was such a clean, fragrance free experience! I'll definitely be back! read more
