TL;DR- everything was excellent, will definitely be back!We started with the caprese, it was fresh and tasty. For dinner my wife ordered the bistecca romana (filet), while I had the rigatoni paesana (penne with a spicy red sauce).The rigatoni was very tasty. A modest dish featuring a creamy sauce, very well executed.The bistecca was a real star though. I couldn't help but admire the presentation when it was brought out- the thick cut stood tall on the plate surrounded by sauteed mushrooms. But it was more than a pretty face, cutting into the meat it was prepared perfectly (medium rare), and delicious!We'll definitely be back again!

The food was delicious and plentiful. We took home enough for another meal. We had the rice croquettes, lasagna, and lemon shrimp with capellini. We drank a bottle of house wine. All was wonderful. The ambiance was okay, not terribly romantic. I understand there will soon be live music on Thursdays. We'll go back for that and the good food. We might order less next time.

The food was excellent and surpassed our expectations. Literally one of the best meals we've had out since before the pandemic. Our daughter who lives in S. Cal bought us a gift certificate. She didn't realize how far Normandy Park is from Shoreline, but we sure are happy we discovered great restaurant and we WILL be making that trip again soon!! Highly recommend Bistro Baffi!

A quaint Italian restaurants with the best food and service in the south end - clean, comfortable seating and fresh ingredients. Steak was cooked perfectly and service was lovely. We loved it when it was in Seahurst and love it now in Normandy Park.

We finally went in on Thursday night after driving by a few times. Had been to the original ages ago. Had a delightful evening. Very friendly service and terrific food. Great portions for food and wine, compared to many restaurants nowadays. We'll be back.

Decided to “try that bistro” I drive by every day and am I happy I finally did! Not only was Tina a wonderful hostess, and barkeep, but the food was obviously made with pride, down to the homemade bread! Tina was so welcoming it felt like I’ve always known her- to find out her old location in Burien was on the same street I grew up on! Lovely place, calm, welcoming and the feeling of being cared for.

I honestly really want to like this place. It's a great looking place that's walkable for me. The reputation from the old location was great but the food is not great (my last dish was over salted, my pop was flat, the chianti was sour), I never knew who my server was (3 waited on us). Been there twice and have been disappointed both times.
The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and amazing.

The lasagna is the best I’ve ever had, pizza was amazing and my girl had the seafood dish. She said it was very fresh and service top-notch. They care about the experience and it shows, and the place looks like you’re in a cafe in Italy. Come for the food and stay for the experience.
