Baci - Huntington Beach

Dec. 8, 2023 6:00pm Good food, attentive service. Large choice of entrées. The Halibut special was excellent. The pianist, right next to our table, not only played too loudly for a small room (This was a $225 meal for four in an otherwise quiet room, not a concert), but his attempts at improv, if that's what they were, failed, and he clearly does not know how to read music or doesn't practice. We all prefer dinner music to be less intrusive, not the center of attention. I don't believe moving tables would have helped. We asked the server to have him play more quietly, but he didn't. Having to speak loudly to be heard does not help conversation. There was only one other table seated during our visit.

We have been going there since Angelo opened. It is like dining at their home. Intimate, amazing food and great atmosphere.

Had an amazing first experience at Baci Italian restaurant! The diverse and impressive menu made choosing difficult, but every dish turned out to be superb. The attentive service enhanced the overall dining pleasure. The live music and dance floor, especially with 80's tunes, added a delightful touch to the festive atmosphere. It feels like a place with a rich history and a loyal following. Highly recommend for a great night out!

My mom took me here for my birthday dinner and boy was it great! We both had a filet mignon just prepared different ways. I had it with the aspergaus and gorganzola sauce and it was wonderful. My mom loved hers as well. She had it with mushrooms and a brandy sauce (I think that was it) and she thoroughly enjoyed hers as well. They were both served with veggies and roasted potatoes. I got double potatoes instead of the veggies and they were delicious! Sure didn't look like much food when it came out but once you started in on it you realized it was much more than you thought. I had to leave some potatoes behind so I could save room for dessert! I had to have the creme brulee as it is not often seen on dessert menus these days. It was fantastic! They even put a birthday candle on it for me. My mom had the chocolate ice cream that has a raspberry sorbet in the middle and a hard shell of chocolate then they pour grand marnier over it and light it on fire. She said it was delicious. I'm not a fan of chocolate or I would have tried it because the creation sounded very interesting. The whole evening was a delight and we both had such a nice time there. The band was starting about the time we had dessert and they sounded great. As we were leaving I noticed there was dancing to the band and everyone looked like they were having a great time. I told my mom I'd go back just to sit and have a glass of wine and appetizer at the bar and listen to the band play. But I'd also go back for dinner again too. I would definately recommend going here if you haven't tried it yet. Thank you to the staff who were all very friendly and attentive! Sorry I forgot to take any photos. I'll try to do better next time.

Loved the atmosphere and the service. The people were friendly. The servers were attentive. I was stationed in Italy and the food brought me back. Menu is laid out like how it should be. 1st plate (pastas) are separated from the meat (2nd plate).
