Went out for my nieces 16th birthday. Staff was so helpful when we wanted to eat from the main menu and forgot about bunch. They accommodated us which was awesome! Food was amazing and our waitress was great making her feel special --thank you (sorry forgot her name). read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem by a shopping mall. Great food-good service-wine list could have some more/better pino noir-but I had a great Zinfandel. Had a wild mushroom ravioli that I would recommend and my friend gave me a bite of an excellent sushi-also had a beet salad that was great-and a really good huckleberry crisp for dessert. Great happy hour-and just all around good choice after shopping. Breakfast also good! read more

Great food, reasonable price, and nice ambiance. I always look forward to eating here when I am visiting town. Our server (I believe her name was Jackie), was especially great. Thank you! read more

This restaurant I rate 5 stars because of its great noodles. The noodles tasted amazing and the service was great. What i loved about the noodles were they were perfect and they tasted great! I thought thought thought not just there noodles were great but there seafood and all other sorts got me really going. Also I forgot to mention that there ice cream is fabulous And I love that I could not decide what I wanted but of course I got the noodles. read more

The Calamari here is to die for and the service is always excellent! One of my go-to places!

Delicious food! I loved my prosecco. I had the spring ravioli and added some FANTASTIC salmon, he had the steak. Our server was friendly. I don't know that we will make it a regular stop (we came from St Paul and this was a special outing). But everything was lovely. I think I've been to more enchanting places, but this was nice. We wanted to do happy hour but it's only available at the bar which I did not know, and sadly for us the bar was full. I was full after eating not a lot of my main meal and a manager came over to check and make sure everything was ok. "It's great, I'm just so full!" read more

Service was spot-on and the food exceeded expectations. Also, the table bread is addicting.

Our server was delightful. We've had dinner here and have enjoyed their happy hour menu. Both were great experiences. Their wine list is vast and their menu is expansive. You can pick something simple or get something that you normally wouldn't find anywhere else. read more

The pasta was great but for an extra $10 I added "Tiger Shrimp" to my dish. The 4 small shrimp that came with my meal were tiny. I have no problem getting regular shrimp if that's what I paid for and what the menu states I'm going to get but this was purely false advertising. read more

Good bartenders, professional, good service. Happy hour though isn't very appealing. It is expensive. Happy hour should have a few deals, not a dollar or two off here or there. Very easy to run up a big tab sitting at the bar having a couple glasses of wine and a happy hour food special. Still, not a bad place for a pit-stop. Better deals sitting down for food. Good flatbreads! Have had a first date or two here and they go well! read more

GREAT service! Great food!!! We had the wild mushroom linguine and the gnocchi. Fantastic. We will be back. Also the service is fantastic. Loads of knowledge about the food menu and drink menu read more

I've been here twice and I enjoyed the food but I felt like it was a bit overpriced for what it was. When I ordered the 9-ounce filet mignon I really liked the taste of the steak because it was high quality steak, it was just slightly over seaoned and a bit overpowering. The dessert was just alright in my opinion. read more

Ambiance and service were very good. However, none of the four of us were really happy with our dinners. Pricey without any WOW. Food was OK, but not worth the prices charged. Won't return. read more

We have enjoyed Bacio over the years and it is consistently high quality food and drink and reliably staffed with earnest, capable servers. Dinner on August 23 was very good. I had the Walleye Milanese and the panko crumb pan fried serving was very light and non-greasy. Portion size was reasonable but not generous. My spouse had the turkey burger sans bun and she said it was wonderfully seasoned to bring out the flavors. Another guest had the seared ahi tuna and it was very nice as well. A restaurant that proves itself time and again over 5-7 years is a true value and appreciated. read more

The service here was great, so that I would give five stars, but the food wasn't phenomenal. I met a girlfriend here and everything from our appetizer to our main entrees were mediocre. The filet sandwich I brought home for my fiancé didn't even cut it and he had to put ranch on it to give it extra flavor. The ambiance is great, and so is the service, so I would say maybe try a happy hour or just drinks here. The price is not low and the food isn't great. read more

The flatbreads are outstanding esp the tomato avacado. The sausage pepperoni pizza is also excellent. 1 easily feeds 2 people

Very disappointing experience! Overpriced for such poor food quality. I had spaghetti which was overcooked and mush, coupled with bland-tasting meatballs. My husband had a Bacio burger with greasy fries and could not even finish it. Then the cheesecake dessert was overly soft and tasteless. First and last visit! read more

Worst food I have ever had in a restaurant in my life. I have been dining in restaurants all over the US for 43 years, lately on average 12 times a week. my salad was - wilted - my main course - braised short ribs - was insulting! Quality was equal to or less than hospital food! Beef was grey and flavorless. Gravy was phonied-up. Squash risotto was the consistency of mush with zero flavor. I am a chocoholic so I ordered the molten chocolate cake, which I didn't finish - a first. But the real sign that the food was awful was that my husband didn't want to finish his seafood pasta - that man has never left any food, within his reach, uneaten. Why did we not complain or send everything back? We were guests of friends who had heard it was an awesome restaurant. Awesome space/atmosphere? Yes! Go for that but eat anywhere else. We will never go there again. Gordon Ramsey where are you? read more

My husband and I used to go to Bacio all the time. We went mainly for the service. Food was good, but our waitress was the reason we went. Staff has changed a lot in the past year or so. And we went from once a week to once a month to maybe once every four months. It is not just us, but many of our friends have noticed and commented on this. The new waiters and waitresses are not as knowledgeable and do not have the same gift as the old staff. We are very disappointed that the owners would let their old staff leave or fire them. No one knew us when we were in last week. And we were used to everyone knowing us. Bacio has lost what they were known for. But I hear that a lot of staff went to Ciao Bella? We have always loved that restaurant. It is worth the extra drive for that service. What happened to that service that Bacio used to have? It is bland and even blah in appearance. Bring back the smart, energetic beautiful staff back! read more

Nice atmosphere including sound system. Menu, preparation , servers reliable. My go to place for out of town guests. Convenient location.

Love this place! Service is great, food is consistently good, & dining ambience is nice for small groups.

The linguine de mare + a glass of sauvignon blanc along with the excellent service...it was a great dinner!

I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. My husband and I took his elderly mother there for dinner. She ordered the filet migon (6 oz.) It came overdone with hard asparagus and bag french fries for $27.00. My food was not great and my husbands was just ok. The Bruchetta was good. The drinks were outrageous in price. We ordered dessert and it was ok. All-in-all, overpriced and the food was not very good. Will not go back. read more

We, my wife , my aunt and myself, ate here the other night. I can rave about the entrees, they were exceptional. I had short ribs, and we're done perfectly. The broiled brusselsprouts were a nice touch too. My wife had the ciappono and she thought it was quite good. And my 84 year old aunt had the lobster ravioli; which she also liked. We had spring rolls, or rather roll as an $11.00 appetizer - forgettable. The women had wine and we're happy with it. I had one of the hidden beers of the Twin Cities, Enki porter-exquisite. We split a creme brûlée for dessert and it was very nice. Now the bad news - way overpriced. I inquired about the happy hour upon our 5:30 arrival. "Nope just in the bar". We are 5 feet from the bar area. I find restaurants that split happy hour extremely chintzy! I mean we spent $160 before tip. Would a total $6.00 happy hour deduction kill you. It might have saved you a customer. Despite the great food, I can't afford to eat here again. read more

Go elsewhere for real Italian. This is all about subruaban atmosphere and not the food. What's Italian about Thai Chile sauce and mango salsa ? Seeking out the real Italian , I had the homemade gnocci with ragu sauce but it was no better than frozen dinners - maybe not as good. One plus is that it is quiet enough for business meals, otherwise can't recommend it. read more

On Monday I was tasked with finding a dinner location for a customer in Minnetonka but only know a handful of restaurants in the area. Someone suggested that this particular Ridgedale Mall area is where we should look but there weren't many choices. Fortunately, I saw that Bacio was there and had some good reviews but even better was that my customer enjoyed dinner and had a good time. The food is good, particularly the appetizers. The group was rather seafood centric that night so we had calamari, fried shrimp with parmesan, crab cakes, and bruschetta. All were excellent as were are salads. For dinner most of the group, including myself, had the grilled salmon with wild rice risotto and everyone was very satisfied. My only wish was that the risotto was regular risotto with arborio rice and onions but that is my own preference as the wild rice was certainly a fitting combo with the salmon. Finally, service was attentative especially considering there were 9 of us. The waiter and bartender were enthusiastic and took great care of us. I would definitely eat here again if in the area. read more

I am a big fan of Bacio. The food is always good. The service is always good and the atmosphere is very nice as well. There is a lot of variety on the menu so depending on what you feel like eating the option is there. They have great salads, their turkey burger is delicious and they have very good pastas and fish. I know when I come to Bacio, I will be having a good meal. If you go to Zelo or Ciao Bella they all essentially have the same menu so depending what area you are in you can get your Bacio fix. read more

Excellent food and service. Pollo balsamico is great and the prosciutto bruschetta is incredible! Desserts are great too!

Sadly, Bacio looks better at night than in the morning... I recently visited for breakfast...the drink menus on the tables were tattered, the wood was nicked up in the booths, the chairs and table cloths had fraying around them and that was to start. I ordered an omelette with potatoes and the plate was loaded with the grease or butter... Unfortunately, the server couldn't answer some basic menu questions which resulted in a redo having to occur. The portions were not very generous for the price. Also 3.25 for coffee is exorbitant. Disappointing overall... I have had a pleasant dining experience in the past, but never again for breakfast. read more

Love almost everything they have. Great mothers day brunch albeit a little expensive.

Food was okay; nothing to write home about. Price is very too high for lack of quality. Service was also interesting; waiter did not introduce himself or welcome us; he also missed a drink order first time through. This was our second visit and things have not changed. Not a fan. read more

I recently had my first dining experience at Bacio with 3 other friends. We all ordered separate items in order to share and we all agreed that every one of the items was exceptional and well worth the price. Our waiter was also excellent and was very professional, courteous and attentive to our needs. He also was quite helpful in his honest opinions of many of his favorite items not he menu. The ambience is a little loud for my preference, but it didn't prevent us from carrying on conversations at our table. We will definitely be back. read more

Bacio delivered for Valentine's Day brunch with my family. Nothing over the top but just delicious food. I had the filet mignon sandwich and i would have it again, many times over. read more

Horrible food. It looks good but tastes bland. We took the linguini Di mare and brisket. It all tasted old.

My husband and I spent New Years Eve at Bacio's in Wayzata. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, service was excellent - our server was very attentive and the food was excellent. We will definately go back! read more

Sunday brunch was delicious. I had the delicious bread pudding french toast, and my companions raved about the fluffy omelets. Our waitress was having an "off" day, but attentive. Didn't ruin our experience. Beautiful interior. Didn't expect this restaurant at this location! read more

My Wife and I ate at the restuarant on Saturday night for the first time. I was worried about parking being so close to a shopping mall but found a spot right away. We were greated at the front door with smiles and a friendly hello. The service was excellent! From the beginning, Server "Paul" made us feel right at home. The interior of the restaurant is beyond beautiful and the food was amazing. The restaurant is pleasantly quiet for a larger space. Worth the price! Definitely a place to come back to! read more

I usually come here for work lunches and it is usually very good. The most recent visit, in June, I ordered the Ciao Baby with grilled shrimp as I have many other times, and it felt like they were missing a couple of key ingredients. It was not the same salad, nor the same quality. I was disappointed in my go-to lunch place! read more

What can I say, prompt efficient service, a great atmosphere and terrific food. Perhaps the only slight niggle is the wine starts at about $32 per but given the very reasonable prices for the menu items that is not hard to bear. Definitely coming back to this terrific restaurant. read more

Bacio needs to up the ante on hot, inventive gluten-free offerings. To be fair, there are many GF options on the menu; however, they are no more inventive than a salad or the filet sandwich without the bread. There should be a comparable GF bread option. I asked if they had a GF bread so I too could enjoy the pre-dinner bread & olive oil. The server's response was, "No, but we have great gluten-free brussel sprouts!" Really???? Hardly an equal option in my book. In this day and age, a restaurant of this caliber needs to do better in the GF department than risotto, which I found lacking in flavor. read more
