Reviews for Baci | Cafe & Wine Bar in Healdsburg, CA
We have vacationed in Healdsburg multiple times and had never visited Baci, so we made a point to dine there this trip. This... restaurant is very clearly a place where locals go to get a decently priced meal (as evidenced by 85% of the people walking inwarmly greeting the owner at the door), which is fine but if you are on vacation looking for a stellar dinner worthy of yourtime I'd look elsewhere. We started the meal with the Burrata, which was not pleasant...the leek mixture (which was very muchunder seasoned) was warm & gave the cheese a very odd lukewarm, undesirable texture. My husband had the tagliatelle carbonara,which was the best thing we were served honestly...but the sauce was very thin & the side of chicken he added to it was verydry. I ordered the tagliatelle with pan seared scallops & sauteed mushrooms. As evidenced by my photo, these poor scallops neversaw any salt, butter or a pan. Neither had the mushrooms. It's as if they threw everything raw in with a sauce and cooked itlike a quick stew. Totally disappointing to see such nice ingredients treated this way. Service was fine but honestly youprobably have better food at a local Italian joint wherever you are from. There are many other restaurants in Healdsburg & thesurrounding area that are more worthy of your money. Read more
The service was fantastic. This is a casual Italian restaurant, you'll definitely need reservations on a weekend. We had the... Fettucini con Gambeterri and the Capellini al Pomodoro...it was just okay, pick something else. They probably have some amazingdishes but the menu is too big, over 50 dishes. Should focus on 10-15 and really make everything shine. Read more
My husband took me for my Birthday on a Friday night. They sat us a a cute table out of the way. The drinks, appetizer and the... entrees were fantastic. One of the better restaurants I've been to in a long time. I definitely recommend this place. Read more
Terrific restaurant just off the Healdsburg Square. I got the pistachio crusted halibut which was fantastic. My girlfriend got a... pasta which was also nice. The other person in our group got the ossobuco with risotto. They said it was excellent. So manygreat restaurants to try an Healdsburg but you can add this one to the list to try at some point. Wish we had saved room for thegelato sampler for dessert. The corkage fee of $25 seems excessive, but given the region and the type of wine some people mightbe bringing in maybe not. Read more
Had the most amazing 5 star experience at Baci - we have tried lots of restaurants including ones all over Italy and Chef owner... Shari has some really special dishes here that you won’t get in other italian restaurants- the Short Rib Ravioli for example,was absolutely to die for!! All the other dishes were so well executed, all the meat dishes were melt in your mouth soft! Veryextensive, rare wine list also by owner and sommelier Lisbeth. Owners and all waitstaff were exceptionally warm and friendly.Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Healdsburg/Sonoma/Napa and will definitely return if we get the chance!! Read more
Inviting Italian eatery exudes warmth and covers traditional dishes from A to Z. Service is friendly and professional. Wine list... is strong on local options as well as Italian varietals. Multiple salad choices are refreshing, specials are alluring (onionsoup to halibut), and classics are offered in every possible combination. Read more
The server told me it takes the chef three days to make the bolognese sauce. It definitely shows. My wife’s scampi was a... second solid dish. Read more
