Bacco Restaurant Diner Reviews
"We went for a pre matinee meal, and were delighted. There is an excellent 'day' short menu that is really good value, and which were all options were tried by our five, with great pleasure. Our wine choices , by the glass, were pronounced good. The waiting staff (not Italian) were charming. There is a large out door area for al fresco dining, but not on a cold late autumn day!"
