Man who told us he owned the place had a very awkward table side presence, Struggled to answer questions and was all thumbs. Weird hovering about. Food was mediocre at best. Salad was poorly dressed and bland. Pasta was slightly undercooked. I can barely remember what we had since it was so under average. I dont recommend. Staff was trying and pleasant but just fell short.

The presentation of the food and detailed explanations of each dish, along with a visit from the Chef, make for a truly enjoyable dining experience. It feels like you are a regular in a charming Italian town. During my latest visit on a Tuesday, we asked about the fresh ingredients and both our waitress and the Chef recommended the New York steak, promising it would be melt-in-your-mouth delicious. And they were right! The steak was huge and we even had enough to take home. The penne pasta with pink sauce was also delicious and made for a satisfying lunch the next day. They don't rush you out the door, so it's a great place to relax and enjoy a quality meal that isn't mass-produced. We also tried the halibut and the preparation was explained so well that I was able to replicate it at home (although it wasn't quite as good as theirs). The service was attentive and professional. Let's keep Bistro Baffi our little secret delight!

The servers appeared to be irritated by my well-behaved 4-year-old daughter, as well as another young girl at a nearby table. They even gave my daughter a stemmed glass for her water, which ended up being spilled by the girl at the next table. The quality of the food was average at best.
