Food: good enough for some dishes, excellent for others (to wit, gnocchi al sugo was soft as air but the marinara sauce was too close to a Ragu flavor for me, the eggplant parmigiana was tasty but not breaded, and the penne alla vodka was superb), with delicious deserts (we had the napoleon and tiramisu). Service: we dined in at 4:00pm opening, so they had no other pressures, but regardless the service was warm, friendly, and personable... really felt at home. Ambiance: they've done a nice job with a basic layout, lots of photos of happy customers, very good heavy chairs, and extremely clean!! Price for quality: just about $20 per dish, $10 per dessert, I'd say these are typical Boca prices, maybe a tad high for this particular plaza, but that might be an unfair metric Beers: a couple of choices you'd expect at an Italian joint read more

This small family run restaurant is a 5 star plus experience. Very clean and food is excellent all made fresh from scratch. I had the veal Marsala. It was the best I ever ate. My daughter had homemade fresh pasta And meat sauce said it was heavenly. Everyone was friendly. A wonderful experience read more

I ordered a pizza with vegetables for pickup. Everything went well except for the "taste" of the pizza. There was absolutely no flavor. Not even the mozzarella cheese. I just ate another slice to be sure. All I taste is the saltiness of the pizza. I am quite disappointed to say the least. read more

I read a review in the Sun Sentinel touting the restaurant being very good and reasonable. A small Italian restaurant in a strip shopping center. They have six or seven tables. Basically a pizza place with a fairly large menu, Service is slow since they have only 1 sever. My wife loves Chicken alla Parmigiana, Chicken, Napoli sauce, and mozzarella cheese., Served with pasta ( spaghetti, ziti or linguini), and sauce (Napoli, pesto, or Alfredo). Small portion that she thought was average. I chose the Linguini Frutti di Mare, shrimp, calamari, mussels, clams, and homemade Baffi's Napoli sauce. It was ok, nothing special. You don't get a choice of soup or salad just plain rolls, not garlic. read more

Super slow service. The waitress is EXTREMELY unfriendly. The food is a hit or miss. I tried to support this place bc it's family owned. However the mom or the wife of the owner needs serious training in hospitality and people skills read more

I am surprised of the quality of the cuisine in this restaurant. The best Lasagna and the best Napoleon ever!!!

Excelent food service and ambiance Dessert very good...very recommended They have pizza home made bread read more

First time here and last, Not a fan of this Italian food. Chicken parm was breaded with cornmeal. With limited sauce Ceasar salad had more Parmesan cheese than actual dressing. Very dry. Very friendly son was the best part. read more

Such a wonderful family run hidden gem! The restaurant has a handful of tables and a large counter for pickups. We tried a bit of everything: garlic bread- amazing, calamari rings- delicious, pizza was phenomenal, and chicken Marsala. There was generous portion with tons of mushrooms and sauce (not too winey). Options for drinks included wine and beer. read more

Baffi's offers what is, without a doubt, the best pizza in all of Boca Raton. Their commitment to authentic Italian flavors and traditional preparation methods truly sets them apart. From the perfectly crisp crust to the rich, savory toppings, every bite feels like a slice of Naples right here in South Florida. read more

Baffi's meets all of the criteria for an outstanding Italian restaurant. The menu is large, with all of the favorite Southern Italian specialties. Welcome is enthusiastic from host owner Jacqueline. Her husband Camillo is the chef and co-owner. So basically, diners join Jacqueline and Camillo for meals in their "home" in a small storefront restaurant in a strip mall just South of 18th Street in Boca Raton on State Road 7, Route 441. At our recent visit, my wife and I shared a half bottle of excellent Portuguese red wine that Jacqueline recommended. We split as a starter a generous order of excellent meatballs in red sauce. My wife selected as her main a superb order of lobster ravioli with shrimp and calamari. I loved my lasagna, which was perfectly layered pasta with meat sauce and cheese. For me, lasagna is the ultimate test of a local Italian restaurant. Usually lasagna is cooked in such a way that the distinctive pasta and meat sauce layers become a mishmash. I am almost always disappointed in the lasagna I order in local Italian restaurants. However, Camillo's lasagna was perfect. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the meat sauce and cheese all worked together superbly. I cannot remember ever enjoying an order of lasagna more than at Baffi's. Service is perfectly attentive and the check is modest for a superb Italian meal. We look forward to coming back often. read more

The Margarita pizza is legit the best I've had in the world !! And I only have it a 4 because it's the only thing I've had

The food is so delicious here. No matter what you order, you're going to love it. From the delicious bread to entrees, and then desserts. Everything here's good and so authentic, you think you were eating in Italy. Service is fantastic! Camilo and his wife, Jacqueline, treat you like you're part of the family. The ambience is fantastic. My dad and i enjoy listening the music they have playing in the background. read more

We decided to try Baffis because of the good reviews and we were not disappointed. A small little restaurant and family owned. The food and service was excellent. The staff is friendly and efficient, really did a great job. We ordered the Contadina pizza and Linguini Carbonaro for dinner. The pizza was served steaming hot with thin crispy crust, cheese, sliced tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, onions. Its one of the best pizza's I've had. The linguini carbonaro was also served hot and was creamy with bits of bacon and linguini. It was excellent! Both were delicious! Their desserts are homade. We ordered the Pavlova as a Mother's Day treat. Not only a beautiful dessert but amazingly delicious! A small was enough for two of us. We highly recommend Baffis as one of the best restaurants in the Coconut Creek/Boca area. We cant wait to return! read more

We tried this new restaurant for the fresh homemade pastas and pizzas. We were surprised by how cool this little hidden gem was. Clean and crisp decor, owners were very friendly and the food was delicious. We ordered a fettuccine Vesuvio and homemade lasagne dish to share. If you love homemade fresh pasta you have to try this place! We also ordered the Totto and margarita pizzas. Both excellent and had a crispy crust. Even the garlic bread was homemade and fresh. Yum! We are going back. read more

We had been there once before and thought the place was cute , so we went back. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and was told they were out so I asked for the veal parmigiana, but requested they watch the salt this time bc it was pretty salty when I tried it before. But then the server said his dad, the chef, decided he could make it for us bc he needed to make it for other guests! I said thank you but in hindsight, why didn't they accept my order in the first place????? My boyfriend requested angel hair instead of other pasta and when he got the check he saw he was charged an extra $3 something for it!!!! The server hadn't even advised us but when we inquired he said we had been charged that the last time (a few months prior) we should've known!!!! The food was ok but apparently it is Neapolitan cuisine and I guess we prefer Northern. I don't think we'll be going back for a third try! read more

The only problem that I had with this and any restaurant, The food was awful. IF our food tasted OK it was cold. If the food was not cold then it was totally tasteless. All of this boils down to if it ain't good.... DON'T EAT IT! SINCERELY read more

This is our 3rd time ordering from Baffi's. We always stick to same order. 1 large Sicilian 1 large cheese 1 rustica and vegetables pizza. This time around there was something off with the taste of the cheese on all pizzas. Kids didn't want to eat they pizza where usually we have challenge holding them back. I know that this may not be the most helpful to indicate that cheese was lacking in taste, but we feel it's important to say it. They have challenges maintaining the same standard of they food and it's draw of luck at what you will get. We have decided that 3 time was enough to conclude we won't order again from here. Delivery was perfect. read more

Chicken Parmigiana was so fresh, & tender w/a perfectly cooked thick juicy filet like Nona makes. There's so much pride & care in each dish. It's made to order I am told. The HOMEMADE PASTA was stunning. I almost cried bc homemade pasta in a fast food city is a lost art. I ordered a small Rustic Pizza (Napoleon style BTW) w/the most delicious Prosciutto type ham Arugula & buttery Mozzarella. What a relief to find near Coral Springs, Parkland, Boca & Coconut Creek right on 441 west side . It was such an unexpected gift. Being from the North East, w/high Italian food standards, trapped in an area that's flooded with/ pizzerias & fast food, we found a hidden treasure in Baffi's. Run! Ambiance is immaculate & smells so good. I just want whatever is coming out of that oven now. Service was kind swift & very attentive w/ out being intrusive. It is in a strip mall predominately Brazilian but this ITALIAN treasure is smack in the middle. You're welcome. read more

On recommendation of a friend we decided to go to Baffi's for dinner. What a gem! The food was excellent! We shared a calamari as an appetizer. For dinner we shared a delicious ravioli with spinach and ricotta. And, we shared a Pavlova for dessert! Absolutely delicious! We shared a bottle of Italian wine which was so good! The service was great! And the ambiance was so nice! What a great family run business. I look forward to going back soon! ''UPDATED REVIEW'' We returned to Baffi's this evening with our family and were warmly welcomed back. Dinner was delicious! Desert equally so! Our family throughly enjoyed it! We have found a new favorite read more

Great restaurant, food was excellent very Italian, the service also great Jackelin treated us as family and the ambiance not the best because we went there at 4:00 not many people... we were the only ones, but enjoyed tons read more

Ordered take out and it was awful. Eggplant parm is one of my favorites and this was just horrible. $42 later The container was filled with 70% of red sauce and 20% the food they put in the container. And 10% was burnt onto the container. Not good. Never ordering from here again. read more

The food is very tasty and carefully prepared. Everything I tried was very tasty and hand made there. The owners Camilo and Jacqueline, are very kind and explain the dishes in detail. The environment is very familiar and receptive. The pictures don't lie. Loved the desserts too. read more

This place is the hidden gem of real Italian food in Boca Raton. This kind of restaurant is really hard to find nowadays, a family owned and operated business. Owners, Camilo and Jacqueline are both involved in the kitchen; their Italian and Portuguese roots are deeply imprinted in their cuisine. Fantastic pizzas. Homemade deserts, a great selection of wines. Don't miss this place. read more

If you want authentic Italian food with savory taste and just the kind of food you can't get enough of then you have to try Baffi's! We had the pasta dishes and deserts! Deliciously amazing! Truly amazing! I had the Sophia Loren pasta dish and just could not get enough! For desert I had tiramisu and an almond chocolate covered pistachio ice cream! I want to try every dish unfortunately I live too far but will be back definitely!!!! I LOVE this place !!!!!! One of a kind great taste! read more

Small pizzeria with few tables and they call themselves a fancy Italian restaurant. If you look at the prices you would understand why I gave 1 star review. First there is nothing authentic Italian about this place as no one there is Italian or Italian decent. You hear them talking Spanish. Second, the pizza taste like a frozen pizza put in a microwave quality at best. Trust me I have been to Italy over a dozen times. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

Nice people, mediocre pizza, and food- bottled salad dressing, fried calamari was good, lasagna was served cold and cheese and sauce on pizza were pedestrian read more

I liked this place and i wanted to make it my go to pizza spot however I don't think Ill be ordering again. I ordered several things on the menu but the pasta dishes were not their strong point. The pizza is okay but the cheese just doesn't taste good as it could. I had guests over and they all remarked about the pizza in a negative way. I hope they try a different cheese and maybe some oregano or basil seasoning in their sauce. I hope this is taken as constructive criticism. The owners are friendly and the place is immaculate. I hope they revamp the recipes. read more

Stark, unfriendly atmosphere every time I visited. The pizza is ok but not worth the careless attitude of the owners. Must be a cover for something if it survives read more

This is what an honest, authentic, family Italian restaurant feels like. Definitely the best, real Italian food in West Boca. The food is great, with fresh/top-shelf ingredients and excellent cooking. My favorites are penne alla vodka and fettuccini Sophie Loren, and their pizza and subs are tasty too. And try their marble cake; it's deceivingly delicious! If you expect American-style Italian food (large portion, lots of topping, but bland tasting, like what you get from Olive Garden or Pizza Hut), this is not the place. But if you appreciate real homemade Italian food ( like what you get from Italy or authentic restaurants in new York), Baffi's is definitely the place to go. You will go back again and again, like I do now :) read more

Last night ordered take out, the pasta carbonara was so delicious, very authentic taste. The food kept nice and hot in its foil container

Picked up an order of antipasto salad and it was delicious, quality ingredients, beautifully packaged. Looking forward to more!

Very authentic, home cooked Italian. Nice decor and very clean. This a very nice family owned and run authentic Italian bistro with an Italian behind the wheel, not just another pizza joint. The Napolitano style pizza was excellent and so was my dinner. I am an aficionado of a good white linguini with seafood and they did not disappoint. most important thing was they didn't need to drown it and garlic for flavor... it was delicate and tasty. Their homemade pasta was also very good. Polished everything off with a fantastic homemade Nutella cheesecake. We'll be back. read more

"We don't do slices, only pies." Is this a Corona thing? All the other pizzerias in Boca offer slices. I gather that's why it looks like a ghost town inside - he can ill-afford to do away with pizza by the slice. LOL! Will reserve an updated review when this owner finally comes to his senses. Hoping it will fare better than the horrid Johnny B's that preceded. read more
