Baia Coastal Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar

I have to give props to our wonderful service on Sunday, St. Patrick's Day. There were 14 of us in our party celebrating a birthday with Baia's $20 bottomless Mimosas. We ran our server for 4 straight hours. She was absolutely amazing! Mimosas were delicious. So many flavors to choose from. Blood Orange and Pineapple were favorites and on constant rotation. My Mozzarella Fritte and Truffle Fries were very good. Two friends had Blueberry Pancakes, full of blueberries, fluffy and yummy. Such a fun time was had by all!

Italian and Wine is always a good combination. Discovered this place while exploring North Beach. Just me and dining room wasn't crowded at all. Odd that hostess said I had to wait, so I just heard towards the bar for seating. Happy hour, so I started with an 8oz glass of their house Rosso. Skipped an appetizer and went for an entree of Squid Ink Tagliatelle. Don't be put off by the Squid Ink. It's just for coloring and makes the fettuccini bed appear dark. Best part of the dinner was the local Lump Blue Crab on top of the Pasta. The lemon butter sauce was absolutely amazing. Service was great, atmosphere casual for adults. Good for date night, leave the kiddos home. Dining room, bar and outdoor seating, weather permitting. One thing that prevented a 5 star rating was Italian bread not being with the entrees. Kind of unheard of and should be an easy fix.

Baia is the perfect place for a date night or family dinner. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the drinks were great! Exceptional service from Jasmin! Her attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and genuine care made our dining experience truly memorable. Highly recommend requesting her section for top-notch service!

We recently hosted our son's rehearsal dinner here. It was amazing! Jordan, Jennifer, Chris and Sasha made it a breeze! They went the extra mile everywhere! From decorating tables to pivoting last minute to use rooftop and inside dinning room. They were constantly working with our guests, making sure any and all needs were attended to. They even worked flawlessly with my spice allergy and the bride's gluten allergy. Would definitely recommend you give these guys your business.

Tried this relatively new restaurant last night. Upon waking in, we were greeted by 3 hostesses that were nicely dressed, as one would expect from a higher-end eating establishment. They have several eating areas, maximizing their space and views of the bay. The 1st space was in the front of the restaurant--This space had a curtain to divide the space to allow for more/less patrons and for a possible semi private party. This front room felt like a diner, as did the wait staff's uniform. Moving to the back of the restaurant, there was a large bar with high top seating and tables, a view of the bay, and a nice little lounge area with a fireplace. They continued the coastal feel with 2 outdoor areas, one in front of the bar room and another above the bar room. Each had sails for shading and allowed for more diners. Now the food....I started off with a cocktail, their watermelon sugar. Nice and strong and akin to Brazil's national drink, Caprihina. Next we had raw oysters and watermelon panzanella. Oysters were large and delicious and the seared lemon added a nice smokey citrus touch. If you're going to have a dish with watermelon in the title, the watermelon in the watermelon oanzanella should be riper and more of it (at least, that's my opinion). As for entrées, we had the eggplant bolognese and the mushroom pizza. The pasta for the bolognese was cooked perfectly and the topping was delicious. The pizza had a great crust and was good, but my husband felt they over dressed it with truffle oil. We were too full for dessert. Service was really good, from our waitress, speed of food getting to our table, and food nice and hot.

My husband, my mom visiting from Cali, and I were so impressed by this place. Let's start of by saying my mom said this was the best place I've taken her to eat at.Prior to her arrival, I saw an insta video of this restaurant I had never heard about in Chesapeake Beach but looked really nice with good food so I saved the location on my Yelp collections. I am really glad I did! The decor, aesthetic, and location were beautiful. Not to mention passing by the kitchen to get to the outdoor area was very clean and looked professional in there. I can see how parking in the lot can be hard if the place is packed; however, they combat that with giving a 20 minute leeway on your reservation. Our waitress was awesome, not pushy checked on us at the perfect times and not over the top. The food was so delicious. Between the three of us we split everything; burrata toast, chargrilled oysters, calamari, lamb meatballs, Tuscan salad, and scampi pizza. We all agreed that normally when you order a bunch of food there's at least one dish you say you would probably not order again... not this time! We loved everything.The food was so good and not greasy that we didn't even feel overly full or sick from eating so much. This is a place we will keep returning to.

This was a complete pleasure. We started with martini's. I had oysters on the halfshell. The bread serving was very good. Our entre's were beautiful and very delicious. We had a very nice dessert.Our waiter was Seth and he was very effficent. As a matter of fact, I would like to express our pleasure with the whole staff.The ambiance was quite nice. There was a fine mix of music in the background and much conversation all around.

Went back for our anniversary dinner and were wowed yet again! Definitely recommend making a reservation if you plan on dining in on a Friday or Saturday night. The parking situation is less than ideal. The restaurant holds more patrons than the parking lot can accommodate, so plan to get there 10-15 minutes before your reservation time to ensure you find a spot if dining in on the weekend.

We've been here a couple of times. It's a little pricey, but very good. We'll be back.

Great service and food. The menu variety was good as well with drinks, appetizers and main courses. We'll be back for sure.
