We love Baci Italian Bistro! Been here a couple times at this location and some back when they were at their Power/Williams field location long ago. The owner is genuinely friendly and always makes time to chat with the customers and about the restaurant's history. The staff are helpful, patient and knowledgeable every time and most importantly, have enough staff to manage all the large and medium groups that frequent the restaurant. There are always super helpful younger staff helping out with busing tables and even packing up leftovers for you which is rare these days. We never feel rushed here. The menu is plentiful and offers just about every Italian American favorite you can think of paired with your choice of their house made pastas. Every thing I've ordered here has not only been delicious and carefully prepared but insanely generous in portion size. A side of pasta is a meal in itself so be prepared to share or bring food home. This place is a rare find that doesn't cut corners in their ingredients, portions, or service. It's always a treat to visit Baci as I know the meal will be memorable.

On April 23, 2025 we brought our friends and family here for our Sons Wedding Rehearsal dinner. The managers and staff from the get go were so helpful and accommodating! We decorated the private patio, had a slideshow, and enjoyed the beautiful weather. They helped with everything we asked. The food had nice large portions and was extremely delicious! The price was very fair we thought as well, due to the over the top pricing these days. Thank you staff for making our night a success!

The food was amazing. The signature seafood dish with basil was absolutely amazing, then scallopsweres cooked to perfect, and so was all the other sea food. So good I can't even spell. It was so good I am still sitting in the booth writing this comment. If you're trying to decide to go hear for a mea, DO IT! The waitresses were amazing and quick, the refills and did an awesome job checking up on us.

I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Baci Italian Bistro in Queen Creek! From the moment we walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made us feel like we were stepping into a cozy Italian trattoria. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring every detail of our meal was perfect. The menu is a delightful mix of traditional Italian dishes, and everything we ordered was bursting with fresh, authentic flavors. The lasagna with meat sauce was layered perfection, and the ravioli was so delicious we couldn’t stop raving about it. Portions were generous, leaving us with leftovers to enjoy later. The full bar offered a great selection of red wines that paired beautifully with our meal. This is hands-down the best Italian food I’ve had in Arizona, and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend Baci to anyone craving a true Italian dining experience.

The best part is the hot, fresh bread that keeps coming without requesting it. First time dining here so not sure if that's the way it is or that was our waitress, but I love bread. Food was very good, some of the best Italian I've ever had. Service was a little slow for my taste but wasn't bad at all. Restaurant was very busy. Not the best place is you're looking for a quiet romantic dinner. Would definitely recommend and eat here again.

Didn’t feel like an Italian ambiance but service and food were both good. I have been trying to find good veal parmigiana. The veal Parmigiana here was tasty. Sauce was a bit bland but the parm helped. Calamari app was okay. Garlics bread was great. I would pass on that if we return here since it comes with bread gratis. A bit off but I opted for the clam chowder over salad and it was very good.
