I come here often and the service is good, ambiance is even better, the servings are huge! But the seasoning lacks a quick. I go less and less since I can't get the flavor I hope for. I still recommended. read more

My husband and I go here all the time for date night . This restaurant Give lots of food which is maybe the most best thing about it and the service is always 100%. Because I raved about it so much I recently went there with a group of 8. And it was by far the worst service. We waited a hour and a half tops for our food to come. People came and left and our food was yet to come to us. Now I would say it was because it was a larger group of people but I don't think that was the issue. The waitress was great until after an hour and we asked her about the wait for the food and she seemed a bit irritated. I was embarrassed because I raved about this wonderful place and the service was not to what I always received. I still would attend but I know now to just leave it to my husband and I coming. You receive better service. read more

This has to be one of the best restaurants on Long Island! Anyone who gives it less than 3 stars must be undeniably delusional. The food is out of this world. I highly recommend the Tortellini Amore - so so good. The menu is reasonably priced and contains a wide variety of dishes. Also, the chefs will make you almost anything you ask. Not to mention the serving size is HUGE - expect to bring home a doggy bag. The two downfalls are parking there can be a pain in the ass and if you're looking to go on a Friday/Saturday night expect a wait. However, the food is so good that the pros easily outweigh the cons. If you're in the area, def give it a try. read more

not a big fan. its an ok place. typical Italian dishes. haven't been back. hoping to never go back. read more

So I went there with 4 friends and had an amazing experience. 2 friends had the cheese tortellini with grilled chicken strips that they raved about. Another friend had the spinach ravioli with fettuccine that she found creamy and bursting with flavor. I had the seafood platter with bronzini and calamari over angel hair pasta soaked in spicy marinara sauce. The sauce was spicy as expected and the fish was flaky and melted in my mouth with the pasta. The calamari was succulent and of perfect texture. The prices are fair, the portions are hearty, and the place was pretty packed but our waitress Celia was very accommodating and quick on her feet. Service with a smile. The only kink was finding 3 small bones in the bronzini which I mentioned to Celia after finishing my plate to which she apologized and brought to the attention of the chef. Upon receiving the bill, the manager Juan comped my platter no questions asked. Word of warning: the bread basket has a variety but the pizza bread in it is so addictive - dont eat too much of it or else your appetite will be spoiled before entrees arrive. I will be going back. read more

Ate here here once. Good food and good service at a pretty reasonable price. No complaints.

Very pedestrian like food I really don't understand why they have so many great reviews. I love Italian food this place on the corner of old country Road terrible parking, services choppy, the place is not good looking, and the food though it's not bad has a lot to be desired there a way many options that are better in Long Island. It is also not cheap. Somebody please tell me why everyone loves this place so much? I have even tried it three times to be fair read more

I always love coming to this restaurant. I use to go there all the time for lunch but since they increase their prices I am not able to go there as much as I would. However this place for everything especially a first date. read more

Big portions, your taking food home for dinner the next night but you're going to have to wait for it. There's always a wait for a table in this place. especially if you go during peak hours. But it's worth it and I don't say that about many places. It's noisy, big families, big parties kind of place. My favorite, the lasagna fresh tasty and can feed two people. Fried calamari is always soft. never chewy. They even have stuffed artichokss. I can't tell you about the deserts because I never had the room to eat it after the entree.. read more

Delicious, AUTHENTIC, reasonably priced Italian food in a family-style theme. This restaurant is ideal for groups or for a casual date night. I have never been disappointed with my meal from Baci. Not much to say about such a great restaurant. read more

My mouth dropped when I saw a few 2 stars rating for Baci. This place to me has great food. The Lobster Ravioli is delicious and the Three cheese Ravioli dish. The staff is friendly, however I have to agree it's a mad house and I would not recommend for a romantic date. The menu is huge and you get a great amount of food plus it's affordable. The place is pretty big with a nice bar. It's cool for hanging out crowds, family gathering not so much for a couples night out. read more

The Amore was soooo good! Good service, good food, and good vibe inside. I'll be going again. The only downside of this place is that parking is difficult because the lot is small and the place is popular. Also, I'd avoid parking in adjacent lots. There are multiple warnings indicating that adjacent stores will tow cars. read more

Awesome Italian food! My boyfriend and I ordered our Valentine's day food to go, to avoid the long wait for a table and the massive crowd for dinner . By the time we got there approx within 30 min we was greeted very nicely by the hostess. Our food was fresh , hot , plenty of bread, marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese. He had the lasagna which was such a large portion, being the picky eater that he is he absolutely enjoyed . Right amount of sauce, cheese n meaty . I had the shrimp and chicken portofino. Large portion and delish ! Will go back ! read more

Love love this place, I have been going to Cafe Baci for years. The service is good the food is great and I always look forward to coming back. A word of caution, you will wait forever for a table on any given Friday Saturday and Sunday dinner service so be prepared. Enjoy!!! read more

Great service! Waitress was super nice and patient considering we took forever to place our order, she even told us the specials for the night. The portions were huge! I had gnocchi with vodka sauce, the gnocchi was very filling and the vodka sauce was perfect! I would definitely recommend and will return again to try other dishes! read more

One of the best, if not, the best Italian on Long Island. Portions are big, prices match, dessert always good and again HUGE. Come here for lunch if you want to try out the place because they have decently priced lunch specials. The food tends to be a bit better whenever I come for dinner though. Staff is friendly. My only issue: you have to look somewhat normal to dine-in lol read more

Went back again to Baci for a old HS friends get together. Tried the Tiramisu & Oreo Cheesecake. Great! Tasted amazing, so good. Also had a glass of Moscato with dinner, great light and sweet taste, just perfect. Love this place. Waitress Marissa was amazing. Great personality. read more

To start off, the onion-marinara bread they bring to the table before you get your food is to die for. I could probably just come solely for that. 3 friends and I came and we shared the cesar salad and the ravioli a la verde. The salad was okay. Nothing special. The ravioli was probably the best thing they have (over exaggeration). The spinach cream sauce was just the right consistency and tasted like a 'healthier' alfredo sauce basically. Trust me! It was good! The serving was pretty filling. After, we ordered 3 entrees (Lasagna, Tortellini a la Amore, and Shrimp Parmesan). The lasagna was good. Meat seasoned well, pasta cooked al dente, and the plate was saucified. Wouldn't get it out of all the options on the menu, but if you want basic, go for it! The Shrimp Parmesan I didn't taste, but my friend said it was pretty good. The shrimp were huge with a lot of sauce and cheese and a heaping load of spaghetti. Huge plate! FInally, the torellini came with chicken on the side and vodka sauce on the top. The sauce was heaven. The tortellini were very good too. However, I found the chicken to be a bit dry. Not sure. Overall great expierence. read more

I've been here so many times for the last two years that I don't even know where to start. Must have appetizer = fried calamari. Big portion, crispy coating, and meaty on the inside. I'd like to say everything on the menu is good but honestly haven't tried them all since I always get the same thing: Cavatappi secreto. Really good flavor with fresh peas, yummy sausage, and delicious sauce. Tortelloni Amore, their signature dish, is also very good. Although a little on the bland side since there's no other ingredients besides pasta and chicken. Spaghetti Solari is also very good although the pricier version (Brodetta Baci) is so much better for just a few bucks more. Much better flavor and more seafood. Definitely upgrade if you can. Overall I think all the red sauce pasta dishes are fail proof. Maybe someday my stomach will be stretched big enough to fit dessert after all this food. Which, I'm sure is also delicious. Only negative is the small parking lot. On popular nights it's really tough to get a spot. read more

Had lunch here for the first time in a long time, it was as good as ever, highly recommend, pizza was outstanding, order the mousse chicken, it's not on the menu but if you like chicken this will not disappoint. read more

Since I am a huge fan of lasagna, their lasagna was AMAZING! The portion may be a little big, but it was an awesome serving since it was so delicious! I couldn't doggy bag it since it was too good for the on-the go. Stay in and enjoy this amazing dish! read more

I'm no Italian...but this is great Italian food. The food is great and well priced. when they bring out a bread basket, make sure you have PIZZA BREAD in it; if not, ask for it cuz it's THE BOMB. The portions are big and worth spending a little extra money because you'll have leftovers. Authentic, and ETHNIC Italian food - not Americanized. I've been coming here for 7 years, and loved each visit. read more

Good food, huge portions, great service. This place is cute enough for a date, but also good for large groups! My boyfriend and I love to get the Brodetto Baci with diavolo sauce. read more

Never a bad meal and the prices are nice . I have been going here for 20 years and I always enjoy it. Usually a bit of a wait and parking is terrible so get there early to beat the crowds read more

Please note the 5 Star Review is mostly based on the marvelous service Maggie provided. I loved the enthusiasm and remarkable service Maggie delivered. We came here for dinner on a Friday night, the ambiance was relaxed and the place was well maintained. We ordered the Rigatoni La Folie, a little too much garlic for my liking but it was delicious The size of the entrees are big so I would suggest sharing. We ended our exquisite dinner with a slice of chocolate mouse cake which was quite delightful I definitely recommend it.The prices are pretty reasonable compared to other popular upscale Italian restaurants on the island. read more

Excellent food and service. End it has been around since I was a baby!It is a long-standing East Meadow institution.

Tasty Italian. Casual setting, but feel free to wear business casual. Portions are huge, tasty, and comforting. I had the Cavatappi Secreto and my wife had the Ravioli al Verde. Both were great, but I preferred the ravioli...very creamy and saucy. The portion on this one was probably the smallest I saw in the restaurant, but it was still quite large. The place was crowded at 6:00 on a Friday night, but we did not have to wait for a table. read more

Really really good food that you get a lot of. They give you pizza bread that's sooo good. Personally love to get the bordeto baci fra diavlo, it's not exactly a menu item but they will make it for you and I love it. I've been going there for awhile now and the food has always been great and the people are really friendly. read more

Not a fan they charge for each soda if you have kids ur screwed. Long wait. Food not that great. Messed up my order and didn't adjust the price. Wouldn't go back read more

Came here for date night and it was wonderful! The wait for 2 on a Sunday evening around 6:30PM was only about 10-15 minutes. I agree with other reviewers that it is a bit difficult to find parking since the parking lot is fairly small. Once we got seated we were greeted by out waitress, who was very pleasant. We got a basket with bread which had 3 pieces of Italian bread and 6 pieces of pizza bread (so delicious) for 2 people! Once we were finished, the waitress offered us even more pizza bread! At this point I fell in love with the place because they were so generous with the pizza bread. I ordered the Tortelloni Amore ($19) and my boyfriend got the Chicken parm ($19). Both were huge portions and the Tortelloni dish was delicious. We each packed enough for another meal. I didn't try the Chicken parm but my boyfriend was satisfied. We shared the oreo ice cream cake ($7) for dessert. It was nothing too special but still delicious and looked beautiful. The waiters were wonderful with refilling water and taking away plates. So overall, the prices are reasonable especially since one order is good for 2 meals, the inside is very nice, and everyone is friendly and attentive. Wonderful Italian restaurant! Definitely recommend this place. read more

Love this place!! The food is great, and service is excellent. Their pizza bread is delicious. I've been here twice already and had a great experience both times... Super romantic at night when they light the candles and the little lights. read more

Intrigued by the long lines and great reputation, we decided to try Baci. All I can sy is that when the waitress FINALLY got around to askin us how everything was, she was surprised to see our plates still almost full. We asked for a check and she asked if she could wrap our leftovers to take home. NO THANKS!!! Not recommended at all. read more

I've been there a few times since moving here and my expectations have been met every time:) The food and service are great here, just having to keep in mind the portion sizes, hehe...I love the bread options they serve when you are waiting , the pizza bread is amazing! Will definitely be going back! read more

I came here with my boyfriend because we were in the area looking for some yummy Italian place. As usual, I did my research on Yelp and came by to try this place. What a good choice it was!! Food was absolutely delicious starting from the pizza bread they bring you out. We ordered mussels and pasta. Both ! Not only are the food delicious, they give out hugee portions. More food=happy me. Love this place and I'll definitely be back for more! read more

Went for dinner on a Friday, hostess was so great super friendly. Even remembered my name as we left. Wait wasn't long but parking does suck! Our waitress was busy to get our drink orders so another waitress got them, nice to see team work rather than see your tables wait. When our waitress came along, NO personality what so ever. Other than taking our order all she did was say (fresh pepper or cheese) never returned besides that. No smile or anything spoke more like a robot. The food was ok, not impressed. Not worth the trip. read more

Love Cafe Baci! It's a laid back atmosphere and the food is delicious. Everything is so fresh. Definitely large portions, always have lunch or dinner for the following day. My favorite is the tortellini amore. Mmmmmmm! read more

Food is great, service is good and the pizza bread they serve is awesome. I got the Penne Sapporite and it was amazing. I asked if I can get some extra pizza bread to go and the waitress was very kind and gave me a bag of pizza bread. Great place, definitely worth going. read more

Fun time here at Cafe Baci, my mother, brother and I have been trying Italian restaraunts lately and this one was definitely one of the best, the atmosphere was very welcoming, reminiscent of the restaurant on the carnival sunshine cruise ship I took this summer , I started off with the chicken paisano that had a perfect mix of potatoes, string beans, chicken, and sausage. Karen spoke to us and was very friendly. I enjoyed my meal with my family at this restauraunt and i will definitely be coming back read more

So much food, no way one person can finish one entree. I never had such a big plate of Italian food ever. Much better taste than chain restaurant Olive Garden. read more

Went to Baci's last night for Valentine's day.. was able to walk in and get a table despite no parking available in the parking lot. It was very busy. My only complaints was that they drowned my fettucini in sauce and had overcooked it as well, and some of the specials that we were thinking of ordering did not come with pasta, you would have to pay extra to have pasta instead of a side dish of potatoes.. Will likely return but maybe not for Valentine's day, they usually are able to handle a busy crowd so not sure why the quality was off last night read more
