So... we have been coming to Via Baci since it opened. Has always been great. We were mostly in love with the place because of the people and it has great pizza. All I can say now is the pizza is still very good (order extra crispy) but the Vibe of the restaurant and people that work there is so negative you feel like you are in their way for being there. There are still a couple of friendly people but it seems to be coming from the 2 managers that are so unfriendly and have no customer service skills or personality in general and only complain about their new competitors who have an amazingly positive front of house and great staff. Please do not ruin this place because you have a chip on your shoulder...be a business and rise to the level of your competitors or even better be better than them! Also by the way when you have guests at the bar we can hear everything you say read more

The prices are kinda high but the food is always tremendous! We love the wood-fired, hand-tossed pizzas, and the salads and roasted Brussels are amazing! read more

Went here for a business lunch today. Overall the food was just sorta bland and not overly flavorful.I got the roasted eggplant and red pepper panini which was just sorta bland overall. Served with 4 spoons of pasta salad which was overly salty. The pizza ordered by a friend looked more appetizing so kinda wish I ordered that instead lol. Overall vibe of the place seemed like a bunch of business prople who worked locally - quite and clean place. read more

Food is oretty food and portion sizes are good. Had the salmon salad and vesuvius pizza. Delicious.

Best chopped and Caesar salads. We absolutely love the pizza and the foods just great. Take out salad is a bit pricey for the size in a small box @25.00. Everything else seems to be in line. read more

Great place, amazing food, and friendly staff. Always a great place for a date night, gathering of friends, or a quiet family dinner!

We had lunch here today. The server was terrible and so rude. She was not busy and ignored us even when we would get her attention. Given the fact that the food is average at best and the service is the worst, I will never return and will let everyone know about this place. read more

So we went based on the reviews on here. Subpar at best. First impression as I sat down, stuck my hand in oil and dried tomato on the booth seat. They proceed to clean it off, leave the seat soaking wet, then watch me dry it off. We ordered caprese salad and caesar salad, cheese bread, lasagna, bolognaise, and pumpkin ravioli. Both salads were ok, but the balsamic vinaigrette tasted like just vinegar. The pumpkin ravioli was pretty tasty! The lasagna was average, a bit cheesy for my taste. The bolognaise was nothing like any bolognaise I've had and not in a good way. It was super watery, tart and had a kick to it. And the best part was seeing how overpriced it was. Do not plan on going back. read more

this place was definitely not what I expected. My family and I came here expecting some legitimate Italian food with a cozy atmosphere but it seemed a bit run down and had more of a fast food vibe to it. I usually go to a restaurant and rate it on a sale of 1= mediocre 2=meh, will not be coming back 3=okay, would come back if I was desperate 4=food was good service was bad 5=excellent food and excellent service this place ranged between 1/2. It was mostly due to the food being too salty, too overpriced for what it was, and the tiny tiny portions. I thought that food of such small portions would at least taste good but it literally tasted like they poured a whole bag of salt into each dish and extracted all of the flavor out. Also they managed to screw up a very simple tomato/marinara pasta - you just boil noodles and add sauce to it. However, they managed to make it watery, salty and bland. Also, the host and waitresses took so long to bring us what we needed whether it was our water or a spoon. If you want good Italian food, I'd give this place a pass and go somewhere else, especially for the price. I would have been happy just having a chipotle rather than eating here and it would have saved me a lot of money too. read more

Via Baci - Salmon salad, super salty Mediterranean pasta, and pizza - Italian Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

It would appear that my review from last year of Via Baci has somehow evaporated. I will blame it on occasionally doing Yelp updates on the iPad app. So, in summation, I really like Via Baci. The Prosciutto e Rucola pizza (san marzano tomato sauce, house-made mozzarella, fresh basil, arugula, prosciutto, and shaved parmigiano) is one of my favorite pizzas of all time. A friend talked me into ordering it the first time, and I was shocked at how delicious and wonderful the first bite was. The peppery arugula, salty prosciutto and parm and garlicy tomato sauce are like a symphony just for your taste buds. I have certainly never had a bad pizza here, but I do think the more unusual offerings are superior to their traditional offerings (like pepperoni). I have also enjoyed the appetizers and other entrees here, but I always come back for the Prosciutto e Rucola pizza. The place can get busy. And, it does seem to have a surprising number of children at times. The service is excellent. My only complaint would be that it is all too easy to polish off a whole pizza here and still be a little hungry. read more

Pizza and salad is super good. Fresh Caesar salad. And cheese pizza. Crust is so good. Highly recommend

Met a fellow Yelper here for dinner on Wednesday evening and arrived minutes before HH ended. This is where they lose their 5 star rating, waitress said she would be right back to help us. Five to ten minutes later she finally arrived and no HH anymore. Five star service would be making sure a table that sits down right before HH ends has the opportunity to partake in HH before it ends. Let's get back on track. Pasta dishes sound delicious but we just had to go with pizza. We shared a bottle of there house red wine, perfect accompaniment to the pizza we ordered. We both decided to order a pizza, although you could share a pizza and an appetizer and be just as full and happy. We got the Diavolo and the Enzo, both tomato based meat pizza's, and we decided to share (it's the only way to eat out). I ordered the Enzo and I really liked the fresh thyme on top but I definitely preferred the Diavolo with the red pepper flakes and hot peppers, it made my lips tingle. Service for the rest of the meal was impeccble and the Manager stopped by twice to check on us which is a sign of a great establishment. I really want to try the white chicken pizza our waitress recommended. I would drive out of my way for this pizza. Overall 4.5 for this gem! read more

Via Baci - Enzo - Italian Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

My husband and I recently visited this hidden away Italian Spot. We had eaten the pizza catered at a party we'd attended the year before and hadn't been impressed, but decided to give it a try in person. WOW! We were not sorry we did. The food was so flavorful, the ingredients SO fresh, they even make their own mozzarella cheese every day. They say to drop by around 11:00 and you can see. The crispy yet not dried out bread that comes with everything is just wonderful. I talked my husband into trying the ahi "tuna salad".. It's not like the tuna salad you've eaten in your kitchen I promise.. he doesn't even like fish but I convinced him that this tasted like a real steak so he gave it a try and he LOVED it... so much flavor packed into that salad. I loved the Caprese salad too with that fresh mozzarella... they have wine 1/2 price on Tuesdays and Thursdays right now so it was fun to try a few varieties of Pino Grigio. For dessert I tried the Tiramisu because it just looked SO good as it went to other peoples tables... and it was the best I've ever had... sometimes that bottom layer has an undesirable mouth feel, but this was just scrumptious! You should go and take your family. They also have great kid specials a patio with a nice view of Denver and they deliver! read more

I work in the area and since traffic on 1-25 was dreadful, I decided to use my handy-dandy Yelp app and see what good Italian restaurants were nearby. My boyfriend and I decided on Via Baci - mainly because he loves chicken parm - but also because it was really close and they have half-price bottles of wine on Thursdays! We walked in, and were surprised that the space itself is actually not that big (I think the outside patio is comparable but the weather was too chilly). We were immediately seated (we went around 6:30 for dinner). Kristy was our server for the night and she was great! It was our first time here, and she gave us some great suggestions. We started off with the mixed salad, which has pine nuts in it and balsamic dressing. It was yummy and came with a side of herb bread fresh out of the oven. The bread itself tasted like pesto but it was okay. Since it was half-price wine night, we ordered a bottle of Gavi, an Italian white wine (pino grigio). It was just the right amount of sweetness and a tad bit of a dry taste at the end. For our main course, he ordered the chicken parm which came over spaghetti. You could tell they use fresh tomatoes and herbs - it made the sauce stand out. The chicken itself was a good portion. I ordered the chicken cavatappi - which is like an adult version of mac & cheese. It had fresh tomatoes, green onion, parm & maybe another type of cheese, and chicken. It was deliciously rich - I saved half for lunch today. We opted to use our Yelp freebie for dessert and settled on the Nutella pizza. Now, I am not a normal Nutella lover, probably because I'm not a huge fan of chocolate. But there was something about the combination that made it simply delicious! It had pizza, Nutella, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, melted frosting of some sort (it was white on the crust), fresh strawberries, and mint leaves. YUMMY! I don't know if it was the combination of the wine and food, but I left a happy camper and will be back again sometime! read more

From the outside, I wasn't sure what to expect from Via Baci. It totally exceeded what expectations I did have though! I had the chicken marsala, which was a beautifully cooked chicken served over pasta with a delicious marsala sauce and TONS of mushrooms. Really loved the side of bread as well! I also had a taste of the pepperoni pizza and that was delicious too. read more

Fabulous small business! I'm a regular & make sure I eat here or order take out at least once a week to support this gem of a restaurant!! I highly recommend. Keep up the good work Jeff, Kristina, Amy, Gavin, & Alex read more

Great spot to pick up some Italian style pizza! Ordered during busy hour and pick up time was quick. Funghi and Margarita was our favorite.

Manager opened the door for us when he saw us coming in, actually ran from behind the bar to do it. Stellar customer service! We really wanted to see what the locals suggested and I'm so glad we had the waitress that we did. Kudos to our amazing waitress Christie, great bartender made a fantastic mojito and Christie made great wine suggestions and food suggestions. We started with the hummus which was very well made, and then had the Spinach and Ricotta pinwheels which had zucchini and garlic. These were SO good, but very rich. Glad that we shared this appetizer and only had one each because they are larger and rich. I am so glad I had the Pumpkin ravioli, it had toasted pistachios scallions and slivered almonds. This dish was seriously amazing, I wish I could order it again because the flavors were just phenomenal. My firned had the Braised beef with goat cheese polenta in burgundy sauce. She said it was one of the best sauces ever, beef was tender and paired awesome with polenta way better than potatoes and that's from a meat and potatoes girl!! Wish I lived in Denver so I could come back because the incredible staff combined with the good food makes it a must-visit. read more

Listen, Via Baci is a small place by a Target, but you should go here. It looks commercial on the outside but it is a legit Italian little place inside. The pumpkin ravioli is was too good. I have had it twice. The fresh mozzerella is fantastic. THe yelp check in for a free app or dessert is ridiculous. The salmon is fresh and delish. The fig bruchetta appetizer is great too. So overall, I couldn't find anything to complain about. This is in Lone Tree off the 25. Just come here. 5 miles from DTC hotels. Soo great. Oh, the pizza is great too! Fresh dough cooked in a giant fire oven. Mmmmmm read more

the restaurant has a great vibe and very coming! we loved the mussels and the cocktail! our server Rita was fantasti! we'll be back!

I hadn't been here since January when my husband got a soggy pizza. The pizza chefs have improved on their cooking methods and the Enzo pizza crust was perfect!!! I came for my annual free Veteran's Day entree and beverage from Concepts Restaurants. I showed my DD214 to the server and she acknowledged the free meal. I will be back. read more

Had a fantastic meal... I was in town for work and resisted the urge to be lazy and eat at the hotel restaurant. So glad I made the short trip to Via Baci. Ordered the Burrata app... portion was large, had fantastic flavor and I could tell the Burrata was house-made and not picked out of a tub from BelGioiosio. (Not that's bad... I enjoy making it at home... but appreciate the effort to make their own) I then moved on to the wood-roasted salmon... it was wonderfully plated, perfectly cooked and flavorful. I will definitely be back on future work trips to try some more options. And a special thanks to Rita... I have some slight dietary restrictions... she handled them beautifully. Thank you! read more

We've been coming here a number of years, and the food is always tasty, the wines good, and the service friendly (if occasionally distracted by the crowd). It's not spectacular, but it's always on the list of places to visit again. read more

Solid place. Definitely has a cozy neighborhood feel about it. I've been to this this place 3 times in 3 weeks. Via Baci specializes in Neapolitan style pizza baked in a wood-fired stone oven. As soon as you walk in the smell of fresh bakes pizza hits you. The happy hour menu is awesome. The sparkling limonata is dangerous. It's so refreshing and would be perfect for the summer. The happy hot drinks are huge and def pack a punch.The spinach artichoke dip with baci bread is some of the best I've had. I think the difference is in their bread, fresh-baked and perfectly chewy. Their pizza is no joke. The oven makes a huge difference and you could taste the fire in the crust. They top their pizza with their house-made mozzarella, which is super milky and slightly sweet. If you work in the Lone Tree area, you've got to check this place out! read more

Love Via Baci - we decided very last minute that we wanted to get wood-fired pizza, and a visit to Via Baci met our need! It was nice to make a reservation online just 60 minutes before the time, we had excellent service and recommendations from our server, Stacy, and everything about our meal was high quality. We'll be back again, and everyone should give it a try. read more

I like all kinds of pizza - NY, Chicago, Gourmet, etc. But Napoletana pizzas are the absolute best. I've been to NYC three times to sample many coal-fired and wood-fired Napoletana pizzas. I found most of them at this website: http://slice.seriouseats.com/ After New York, Anthony's and Virgilio's don't quite cut it. They are good, but I was left craving authentic DOC pies. My wife and daughter have been to Italy, and now they are left wanting. However - We found Via Baci and now we're saved! Go there, order the Margherita Classico for $7.99. Savor the crust (flour imported from Italy), the sauce (San Marzano tomatoes from Italy), and the homemade mozzarella (appropriately portioned), and you'll know what the pies are like in Italy. They are light, delicious, masterpieces. Via Baci makes the best pie in Denver. The prices are good, the service is great. read more

This is our main go to for a night out with the family for years. Rita is the absolute best. Whenever we ask our kids where they want to go it is always Via Baci. Their food is always consistent and delicious. My favorite being the chicken parm, a salad, or pizza. read more

Amazing pizza, just price. Just drop price to be a little more reasonable and would be 5* Kudos read more

How does one F@#& up spaghetti? I have no idea, but Via Baci found a way. I checked in... it was my first time at this place and I was dying for some decent Italian carbs. I was immediately greeted and taken to a table. I hadn't even sat down before the server was asking me what I wanted to drink. I chose water. She quickly returned with water and then I sat for about 5 minutes before she even offered me a menu. When I got the menu, reviewed it and it took the server about 5-10 minutes to circle back around to actually take my order. I ordered the messed up spaghetti...which apparently, is watered down, cheap canned sauce served with a small portion of spaghetti noodles. I asked for chicken instead of the meatballs. No petite breadstick or mini salad to munch on while I wasted my lunch break waiting for my meal. I kept wondering "why are they so slow and 'meh' about serving me? Am I not polite and friendly? Why don't they care?!" They offered no petite breadstick or mini salad to munch on while I wasted my lunch break waiting for my meal to make its way what was just a few short steps from the kitchen to my table. The chicken fillet for my spaghetti was a very, very small fillet cut into 5 even smaller pieces - for $3.99. I honestly wish I had taken a picture of it, but I'm sure I could go back tomorrow and receive the same quality meal, whereby, I could then take a picture. What was I paying $4 for??? They didn't offer any freshly grated cheese or anything... It was a very pathetic meal. The restaurant was not busy at all and the servers were kind of MIA. Then I saw my server sit down with guests and talk to them...all the while, I'm over in my corner eating a really sad spaghetti lunch with "weak sauce". The server never once circled back around to ask me if everything was ok or if I needed anything else because if she had, I would have assured her that everything was NOT ok haha. The server came to re-fill my water and she was extremely quick about it then disappeared again all over again. The manager was present and didn't seem to care that I wasn't receiving service or even be paying attention, for that matter. Until.... .... I realized the establishment offered a complimentary app or dessert when I check in on Yelp. So when the server brought my bill over (that's when I noticed the 5 feeble pieces of chicken were costing me $4.00), I ordered a dessert. In what seemed like an eternity later, the manager rushed it over to me himself and seemed to be ALL about customer service. I get great service when I go to other local establishments in the same city block. To think I chose this place over Carmines LOL.... (Carmines, I'll be dining with you from now on when I want Italian.) *free wifi, but they require your email address....yeah- no. read more

Via Baci - $3.99 for 5 tiny, barely bite sized pieces of chicken cut from a very small chicken breast. Incredible. :/ Very slow service as well. - Italian Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

Christine and Jeff were patient and kind, and didn't show frustration with my umpteen questions about table and order and food and gift and cake and all other things under the sun. They were very, very polite! It began with an intention to surprise my sister and her husband on their anniversary, and I looked up Yelp for solutions. The folks at Via Baci were the ones to respond promptly and so I went with this business. They helped with reservations long distance, helped process the payment, offered to call my family and surprise them. I was told that the food was great, the service was excellent. I gathered that the menu options suited my sister (vegetarian). Just for this alone, I would recommend this business.... for their ability to help you plan a surprise event for your family. Thank you Via Baci. read more

First time eating here. Got the Enzo Pizza and it was delicious. Crust was nice and crispy. Sauce is thin but tasty and doesn't over power. Cheese is made daily and added like traditional Italian pizza. The meat toppings tasted great and fresh. We had the s'mores desert and it was great too. Will definitely be coming back! read more

We came here for a date night. I started with brussel sprouts baked in the woodfired oven, delicious. We had a prosciutto arugula pizza and a pasta dish with chicken, cherry tomatoes in a cheddar cheese sauce. The sauce was not overwhelming not like an Alfredo. The pizza was Neapolitan style baked in a woodfired oven. We had a great experience sitting against the windows. read more

Taylor was great. She helped us make good selections and took good care of us. Highly recommend her.

I had an amazing experience at Via Baci tonight! The food was delicious especially the chicken cavatappi and bolognese. Our waitress Rita made my sisters birthday so special. She was amazing thank you for a great evening!! read more

This restaurant is a such a hidden gem... and is such an anchor in the Lone Tree dining scene. We spent a memorable Valentines Dinner there just last night! The food is consistently wonderful. Don't miss the Bolognese or Cioppino. And the pizza is ridiculously good. But what is truly extraordinary about this place is the staff. Service is always always great and delivered with a perfect attitude. Somehow there is next to no turnover. I don't know what the manager (Jeff) is doing, but I've never encountered that kind of staff before. Good service with a positive caring attitude is hard to find these days and this place delivers it. Every single time. read more

This was my first time dining at Via Baci and I'll definitely be going back soon! I asked our waitress Rita who was very attentive for recommendations and they were all delicious.
