"We have been coming here for thirty years. After we would deplane in Tampa and drive to Sarasota, Cafe Baci was our first stop before driving to our home on Palmer Ranch. We have dined here often because the food was so good. We were just there to celebrate my cousin's first time in Sarasota. I enjoyed a special dish of the day, Sea Bass as did my cousin's husband. My wife had a favorite of hers, a Veal Abundancia. And my cousin also had a special jumbo shrimp dish served over pasta. The meal was wonderful. Tod, our server, was gracious and efficient. The only downside was learning Cafe Baci was closing. There are so few great family restaurants here, and now we are losing one of the best. Arrivederci e grazie per i ricordi meravigliosi e i pasti fantastici. Ti auguro buona fortuna."

It is always a treat to go to Cafe Baci. We will miss the restaurant when it closes.

Fettucine Alfredo was soupy, Arugula salad was very good and tiramisu was excellent. View menu

Cafe Baci never disappoints. Their Eggplant Parm is the best. Thick slices of sweet eggplant, so less breading. We also really enjoy the Veal dishes!

Sorry to see them closing. An iconic place for so many years. Best of luck in retirement and to the staff hope all land on their feet at other local establishments.

I am saddened to hear that this wonderful restaurant will be closing in May. My family has been dining here for 20 years and we will miss Cafe Baci. The food is consistently excellent. View menu

I have been dining at Cafe Baci for 30 years and never had an unsatisfactory experience. Tonight was perfect as usual. I brought friends that never dined at Baci before and they were super pleased. My only regret is that my favorite restaurant is closing.

We went to this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. The food and service were excellent. We were able to bring home leftovers, which were delicious and clearly made in-house. While the prices were not low, it was a perfect choice for a special occasion. We will definitely return.
