We attended a friend's birthday dinner and used their private room.The food was very good and the service was excellent.I had the lamb shank. It was very tender and not too fatty.

Well meaning but honestly, dinner was lackluster. I had chicken parm that could have come out of a box. Food presentation was uninspired. Our only Healdsburg meal that was a clunker.

Really like this place- good service and food. And because we were a larger group, we were seared in the wine room. Nice and quiet.

We had a great time and great food at Baci Cafe and Wine bar. The menu is extensive so we had a hard time narrowing down our choices. However, we picked this place because of the sheer amount of choice as I didn't know what we would be in the mood for when I made the reservation several weeks in advance. I had the veal osso bucco and it was outstanding. My husband had the short ribs and they were also very good; but I think the osso bucco was better. Both were served with a creamy polenta that was really good. My husband is not a fan of polenta, he prefers mashed potatoes, but even he was impressed with this polenta. Our waitress was great, very friendly and good at helping us narrow in on our dinner choices.

I am a symptomatic celiac. They had lots of options for me and assured me I would be well taken care of with special care to avoid cross contamination. All four of us loved the food we ordered and I did not have any celiac reaction.

A good dining experience however, the short rib was dry. The salads were excellent, and the wine choice was extensive. The next time we go, we would definitely gravitate towards the pasta versus the short rib, which was again dry. The tricolor salad was phenomenal.

Food quality was fabulous and good selection of Italian mains and sides. The online menu had a mix and match option which we asked about. We were steered to a 7 course tasting menu, including 2 salads which was great but unbeknownst to us cost $125 per person making our tab for four people $500 before wine. Wine selection is fabulous. We were overcharged for the two bottles we purchased, and our bill came to $752 before tip. We've had great Italian food elsewhere for less than half the cost. Very noisy and no cocktails available, wine only. There are less expensive choices there which are probably very good. We plan on going back to try them.

One of my favorite restaurants in town. The service is impeccable, the food is incredible and you shouldn't skip dessert. The atmosphere is convivial and great for date night, celebrating something or just a nice Tuesday night out. Can't recommend Baci enough!
Our family have been going here for more the than 12 years and with each year, Baci doesn't disappoint. We wish Baci to many more years of serving delicious foods! Edward, Nhung and Edward II

We always have wonderful food and service at Baci. Our Valentines dinner was great as usual. We are always greeted as friends. Pastas are wonderful and I had a delicious Gorgonzola salad with braised short-ribs and polenta. We love Baci!
We are out of town travelers and all 4 of us were very impressed with this restaurant. Sherry made our dining experience extra special. We all had different dishes and everything was excellent. Definitely will be back next time in Healdsburg.

We love your restaurant! We love the staff, and we love the food. However, it's the first time we sat right by the curtain at the front door. It was very disruptive and very cold each time someone would go in and out of the door and the door doesn't automatically shut so we had to get up probably Six times to close it. When it's cold outside, it takes away from the warm experience that this restaurant has to offer.

Our FAVORITE Healdsburg restaurant...shhhhhhh don't tell anyone ;-) Gracious owners are very involved in every aspect of fine dining. The food could not be better and the staff is mostly long time devoted wonderful people!

We love this restaurant, I usually get the pasta of the day which is usually a ravioli with a great sauce; this night it was a short ribs ravioli: very nice. My wife was in heaven with her choice of the crab Cioppino chocked full of muscles, shrimp, fish, scallops and of course lots of crab; she even took a couple of crab legs home.

My wife and I had a wonderful meal, sharing a salad, a pasta and ciopinno as a main. They have a very good wine list of local and Italian wines, including the Rafanelli zin. Definitely would recommend it.
