Bacio

Bacio still has it. You really cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, and there are also several daily specials. Owner/chef Jay Saponaro, who used to have Bacio in West Mt. Airy, is a class act. Professional in every way. The grilled Romaine salad and mushroom pappardelle were wonderful, as was everything else. The prices are ridiculously reasonable, considering the quality and portion sizes, and it is BYOB, so you save money there also! And Jay will make vegan dishes, even if they are not on the menu. And a free parking lot in the rear. Our server, Lucia, was absolutely delightful, efficient and with lots of personality. We thoroughly enjoyed her. Highly recommended!

Made a reservation a month in advance for a special birthday celebration. Upon arrival, they acted as if we didn't even have a reservation and sat us in the entrance way where they had added one random table. The room was cold, the heater fireplace wouldn't stay on, and we had to ask multiple times just to have any basic service such as placing an order. The food was good, but the entire dinner was a comedy of errors. I won't be back.

My family frequently eat at Bacio, we've had many great experiences here and have even gotten to know the owner from his original location in Mount Airy.You can expect to find a variety of flavorful dishes, such as pasta dishes (the sweet potato gnocchi is masterful) with rich sauces, fresh seafood (I once had a fantastic chippino there), hearty meat dishes, and desserts like riccota cake that remind me of how my family cooks and the recipes my grandmother made.I've always enjoyed how the atmosphere reminded me of dining with my own family.

Bacio is an excellent place for the not so usual pasta and other Italian dishes. We've had the sweet potato gnocchi many times and it never fails. The appetizers are to die for. From the antipasto to various kinds of seafood dishes, we are always delighted. Many times we enjoy the apps so much that we wind up too full for the rest of the dinner. That's ok, we love taking dinner home. Meats are cooked to order and have an Italian flair. I'm not so much a desert guy but the cheese cake is excellent.

I feel bad writing this review but our meal here was so bad, that I feel I must warn others away. Everything from the food, service, and very hot interior was awful. And it was expensive. I'm frankly floored that this place stays in business. Needless to say, we will not return.

Delicious food! Great service.All food is cooked to order, so one needs to be patient! Mussels, chicken, shrimp dishes are so tasty. Specials are always a hit.It is BYOB. Go, you won't be disappointed!

'Tis the season for re-examining some of the places I have been avoiding and giving them another chance. I went to Bacio when they first opened on Mt. Pleasant in W. Mt Airy. This allegedly Italian restaurant served me a plate of spaghetti which was all stuck together. The flavors were OK, but no reason to go back. This time I went with a social group of @ 12 people. We had a reservation. There was one server for the whole restaurant. They kindly sent us some small appetizers, which turned out to be the best thing of the evening. Eventually we got our food. I had ordered Scampi which the waiter offered to put over pasta. What I got was a gloppy brown sauce which had little of the olive oil and garlic I was expecting. Few people had positive things to say about their food and few finished what they ordered. Yes, the portions were generous...I see no reason to return to Bacio. I think they could benefit from downloading some NYTimes recipes.

Wonderful evening. They had a huge party in the front room and still made us feel like we were the only people in the place. Great food Great service. OK price.

The food was very good and the ambience was welcoming. They were a little short staffed that evening due to the weather. I will definitely go back again however.

We've been Bacio groupies since shortly after Jay opened his restaurant in Mount Airy. We enjoyed the ambience of the tiny dining room with the kitchen along one side. The food was enjoyable. It was like family, fellow patrons, servers, staff, owner, and Manny the greeter-in-chief! Jay moved the whole show to Erdenheim and lost only the kitchen-in-dining-room, and Manny. Classier, more formal, but the food is as good as ever! Bacio survived the pandemic, and the rebirth is worthy of celebration.
