Bacco Italian + Wine Bar

What a vibe, this place is sophisticated but relaxed with a fabulous wine menu and great cocktails. All of the food we tried was absolutely delicious and there many options for my gluten sensitive guy! Our server James was cool and chatted with us a little. He told us they also have a pizza place, which we will try next. I’ve been to many popular local spots and they have nothing on Bacco’s. #1! My new favorite spot.

Fantastic dining experience! The food was amazing. From the antipasti (grilled octopus) to pasta salad, and then main courses (short ribs and seafood stew), everything was inpeceble. The drinks were amazing. Wines were high quality and the filthy Martinis were spectacular. The ost was kinda cold, but our waiter was fantastic. I'm really glad that we chose this restaurant for a date night. Amazing experience and would come back soon.

One word...AMAZING! Everything and I mean Everything was excellent from beginning to end! Let's start with our server Paul. He was attentive and friendly. Definitely made our experience a pleasure! The seasonal drink menu was perfectly crafted. Pictured is the Old Fashioned. For appetizers we had the fried lasagna bites and crispy Brussels. Both were delicious. One of my favorite sauces is Bolognese. Let me tell you this was the best Bolognese sauce! My friends had the gnocchi and the Beef dish with fettuccine, mushrooms and onions (I forget the names). The dessert list is full of many great choices! 3 of us shared the donut with ice cream and it did not disappoint. This restaurant has an awesome vibe! The food and drinks are outstanding! At 7:30 pm on a Friday there was a nice crowd in the bar and restaurant. Make a reservation ASAP, you won't regret it! ENJOY!

Second time here in the last 2 weeks. Our server was Zach last week, Carol this week, both were fantastic. Every item ordered has been delicious!

A lovely Italian restaurant that’s perfect for both casual lunches and dinners as well as special celebrations. The ambience is welcoming, and the food is consistently excellent.

Fan-tastic! Beautiful atmosphere, prompt friendly staff, and absolutely delicious food! The Fettuccine Zafferano was amazing! The seafood was perfectly cooked and the sauce was creamy and delicious. I cannot recommend enough!

Nice atmosphere with attractive decor. During our visit there was a rowdy crowd, apparently drinking, really ruining our dinner. If they weren't there our experience would have been much more pleasant. Just inconsiderate people who only care about themselves. Anyway, the food was delicious and there was a wide variety of selections on the menu. They also had an extensive drink & wine menu. I had the bruschetta, lobster ravioli, and the cinnamon donut a la mode. The donut wasn't as good as I thought it would be but everything else was superb. The staff was attentive & polite. I will go again and I would recommend it friends/family.

There were four of us and we got a booth. Tables are kind of small and the benches are kind of narrow but it was okay. Food was excellent, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was nice. We were there at 6:30 on a Saturday night so the place was packed. We did make reservations. It's the first time we've eaten there but we really enjoyed it. We would definitely go back if it was closer to our house. Sorry I didn't get pictures of our entrees. I forgot as usual. I attached two pictures of a couple of the appetizers. One was some kind of grilled brussel sprouts in the other was a crab dip which was excellent. Pick out the tuna ahi entree and that was good as well. The dessert menu had a lot to offer.

The food is always good at Bacco! This is one of the nicest restaurants in town. Try the bacco board or the lasagna, both are excellent! Server Becca couldn't have been any better! Bravo Bacco!

Baco is hands-down one of my top 5 spots for a good time. The atmosphere hits every time--whether you're at the bar or chilling at their sleek high-tops. Personally, I always choose the bar because the energy is undefeated: good people, great conversations, and watching the bartenders work is its own entertainment. Their drinks are top-tier. The Old Fashioneds? Crazy good. They've got the classic version and a few creative spins, and honestly, every one of them is a win. The food matches the drinks--apps, salads, entrées... everything comes out fresh, flavorful, and worth every bite. If you haven't been yet, go. Like, now. The place is clean, bathrooms are spotless, and the staff is always friendly. Baco just gets it right, every single visit.

Twas a bit of a field trip to get to Bacco, BUT... happy hour here was well worth a drive on a nice seventy degree day. The bartenders and waitstaff were friendly and helpful to our group of girls that were there for a birthday and the location was very cutesy for social media content... I should've snapped pics to attest to this, but I was wrapped up indulging in calamari, grilled octopus, and eggplant small plates, all of which were delicious. They also do a divine fettuccine zafferano in a saffron cream sauce almost as good as Baltimore's limoncello restaurant's entree I adore. They do a really amazing take on a Moscow mule and a Paloma you won't want to miss and are conveniently located in a huge shopping center with super easy parking.

Came here for the first time last Sunday afternoon. Great music, chill vibes, seated quickly, good service. It was pretty dead that time of day, which was awesome. We ordered the Arancini, Bacco Board, and red wine. It was wonderful. The ambiance is perfect and lots of seating inside and out. They also have a self serve wine area, which I haven't tried yet but will try in the future. Came back again with friends on a packed Saturday night. Thankful I made a last minute reservation. There were so many people- birthdays, prom, etc. Service was a bit slower but still prompt. They have a lot of wine and food options. Definitely recommend this place even on a busy night! Will be back.

Wow! Anniversary day at Bacco and everything on the menu is half off! What a deal! GM Steve runs a happy business! Servers Maddie, Carol Ann, Sierra, and Becca were fab! What a well run and consistent restaurant! Bravo Bacco!

Have you ever had such a good relationship with a restaurant when you and your granddaughter are going to dinner we just look at each other and say Bacco!!! I love the food and the people. It's hard to say what I love most but let's start with my granddaughter. She does not like cheese. And so we always when eating out to be stern regarding no cheese. Bacco doesn't miss a beat. They get it right the first time. I love the gnocchi. I love the meatballs. I love the mussels. I have never had anything served to me that was cold. Nor distasteful. Yes I am a fan.

Decided to take my family here for a pre Thanksgiving dinner. I've dined here on prior occasions and had no complaints. It's also a go to for when I'm in town. We decided to order the Caesar Salad, Eggplant Torta, Norwegian Salmon, Ribeye, and Orecchiette Pasta. I asked our server James M. if we could split the Salmon into 2 portions for both my parents and he said "No not really." Not sure why we couldn't split the salmon this time if I've ordered it exactly like this during my previous experiences here. Server and runners here felt rushed as well. As for the food, it was good portions for the price. The ribeye was on the drier side and the orecchiette pasta was a bit overcooked. TBH, you get what you pay for here. I think it's a good place to eat out with family if you're in the area looking for a casual dining experience. I'm disappointed to say that the service and quality at this establishment has gone down in the last few years. I most likely will not be returning.

I've been here a few times and every time I've been, I've had a great time, from their mimosa, to Bellinis and Blue Moon's, I've enjoyed everyone . The food is delicious as well. I've sat at the bar, the outside patio and this last time we've went we felt like superstars, it's was like this outside cabana they sat us at that was decorated with floral and lights. It was a cool breeze at night that was just right and the service was amazing.

A great Italian spot to check out if you're in the area. I like the ambiance of the restaurant with the decor and plants. They have outdoor seating options as well. I've had pasta here a few times and it's very good-love that you can modify the dishes to have different types of pasta, add or subtract ingredients. One note-on holidays they don't offer their lunch special. Our service was a little touch and go-had to flag down another server when I needed silverware. Worth a visit!

Food is same as any old restaurant. Food is more than likely sourced from Sysco, not made in house. The desserts are definitely bought at the store and taken from the container and plated as such. Food was always room temperature. Not worth the money.

Dinner last night was wonderful and we had many types of food which were all delicious! Our waitress Megan was excellent and very helpful. We will be coming back!!

Great setting, excellent wine and food menu. Top notch service, and the food always tastes great. Highly recommended

Came here for lunch with my business associates. Very nice decor. Very clean, very inviting atmosphere. Although I rarely drink and certainly couldn't today this restaurant made me want a glass of wine. We were seated immediately. It wasn't very busy. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Our meals came out timely, beautifully presented, and hot. Each of our homemade entrées were perfectly seasoned with the most flavorful ingredients. The pastas were homemade as was the gnocchi. The seafood was perfectly fresh. If I lived closer, I would be here regularly. There were so many delectable dishes I would love to try. Since it's situated within a large shopping area, there is plenty of parking. They even have an outdoor area. Should the weather permit. Mangia!

I came with a friend to Bacco a few months ago (I'm a bit behind on this one!) but we had a great time. We had reservations on a weeknight but didn't need them. Our server was great (I can't remember her name but we talked about allergies for a long time lol, I feel she'd remember...), very knowledgeable and clearly had tried a lot on the menu. I like most food so with a big menu, I definitely needed some recommendations!! I ordered the paccheri granchio, I liked it a lot but didn't love it. The pasta itself was great, obviously fresh and cooked perfectly. I didn't love because the crab on top was cold. I think that could've been warmed a bit, but other than that, this is a unique pasta style, definitely recommend it. My friend and I also got some drinks, split arancini, and overall had a great time. I think this could be a nice place for family dinners or celebrations. It is in the parking lot of a strip mall but the inside was nice! I would definitely go back!!

Came here the other day for date night and it was such a nice experience. The ambiance was so nice, dim room, music. It was not busy which was also quite nice. They do have a big parking lot right by Wegmans. I ordered a Limoncello Champagne and it was so tasty. I believe they make their own limoncello. The staff was attentive. They give out bread with oil and vinegar on the side I ordered the linguine with clams which was so so good. I loved it. It was fresh and cooked perfectly. My boyfriend ordered the chicken parm and it was also very good. He really enjoyed the angel hair pasta on the side. Will be coming back again. It was a lovely experience.

I've gone here with my boyfriend twice now and we personally love it! We felt that it was upscale, but also relaxed at the same time. I specifically noticed the decoration on the bar side of the restaurant being lovely. It was very comfortable and our servers on both occasions were genuinely kind and helpful. The food is amazing here! Everything has been excellent, from the appetizers to dessert. They serve fresh bread to start, and on Valentine's Day the side of butter had a little pink heart in it. Very cute touch. I love that the portions are not crazy big and it's nice that I can actually finish a meal without feeling too full. You really feel like you're getting your moneys worth here. I would recommend for any occasion and we will be returning

The fettuccine bolognese is absolutely my favorite dish at any restaurant in Harford County. There is nothing particularly wild about it, but it is perfect every time. All of the appetizers are great as well. Our favorites are the arancini and the meatballs polenta.

Place was packed so make a reservation! Food was delicious. Fresh basil on everything. The bread was warm and fresh. Our server was r he eat. She was ver knowledgeable in all the plates. Looked at all the food passing our table and decided we will be back on our next trip to Maryland! Keep up the good work!

Really cool place to eat and drink. Wine Bar is a huge bonus. Came here on a weekend evening with the gf and got reservations just in case. Luckily my plan worked out as both the dining area and bar area were packed on a Wednesday. This is like Aberdeen's best kept secret or something. Anyways, for the dinner, everything was great. The drinks were done well and both of us got variations to the chicken dinner. On the way out, we checked out the bar and noticed they have automatic wine dispensers. We ended up trying all the reds and all the whites. Let's just say it was a great night.

Delicious food and great Brunch options. Waitstaff were attentive and welcoming. Sat on patio, nice calm atmosphere to relax. If you love calamari, please try. You won't be disappointed.

I have been to Bacco several times and it's been very consistent. The place has a great energy and a nice/cute set up. They have a large wine menu as well as many food options. Drinks are consistently great, but I have been a bit hesitant about some of the meals I've tried (example: risotto mignon). Fettuccini bolognese is my all time favorite from bacco, never disappoints. The place usually gets pretty busy during the weekend so I usually try to make a reservation a day ahead of the morning of. All in all it's still one of my favorite spots in Hartford Co.

The vibe and restaurant is so good! There's a semi outdoor seating and indoor as well as bar. The staff are typically very friendly and the food comes out at a pretty reasonable rate. Priced well. I've had their flatbread pizza and the waitress was sure to make sure to tell me there was meat on there and they would remove it. As a vegetarian I really appreciate that and it shows that she was attentive to my needs. Their pasta is great, and consistent. Good portions as well, and the food tastes real!

I'm gonna take a star just because the cut back the hours and items on the Happy Hour. My wife and I along with several friends frequent the HH and the cutback was disappointing. Food is still awesome though...

We have been to Bacco's many times but i think this is the last time we will eat there. Service. While our server was pleasant she was not attentive. She took our drink orders right away but then disappeared until the bat fot the drinks ready. After our food was served she did not return to the table even though she was in the area frequently. We finished lur meal and finally after sitting there for more than twenty minutes I gor heee attention to ask for the check. We had initially planned to get dessert but after witing so long for any service we decided to just leave. 7o minutes to be served a salad, main course and get the check. On the food prep side there were several flaws. COOOKING 101 DO NOT put a sauce or butter on the crsipy skin of the fish, you end up with rubber. My wife got the Branzino advertised as crispy skin but after they put a sauce on the skin it was inedible. Overall an unsatisfactory experience.

First time to Bacco's: We went in for lunch and were quickly seated at a table of our choice high top or booth. The waitress came and quickly took our drinks order.. she didn't have any recommendations but was very nice.. What we ordered: - Bacco Board 9/10 ( we loved it, but didn't care for one type of meat they included plus didn't give enough crackers for all the meat +cheese) - Bruschetta Appetizer was 10/10 perfectly sized and curated so every bite had equal parts of balsamic, Tomato and cheese! - Buratta Cheese App 9/10 the Burrata plus Tomato's were great but the cheese wasn't as creamy as other restaurants we've had it! - glass of Malbec ( easy to drink, almost tasted like Pinot Noir) - glass of sparking wine 8/10 just average Overall would return and was very tasty.. service was good but it wasn't busy.. so hard to tell.. also we noticed a self service wine area but we were not informed about it. Not sure if it's opened or closed certain days

Went here for dinner with the family. This was sitting on our table in the general dining area. We ordered an appetizer and beer because of it. We got our bill and there was no discount to the items. Server went and talked to a manager who refused to adjust the pricing, pointing to the fine print at the bottom of the insert. After expressing my dissatisfaction to the manager Steve for a few minutes, he unapologetically, offered to give me a $10 gift card, which almost covered the true $16 off I should have received. Definitely won't be back. Learn to treat customers better, and maybe be receptive of consumer feedback that your promotion strategies feel deceptive.

Great atmosphere! Very nicely decorated with the perfect mood setting for food and wine. We were seated immediately for a Friday lunch time. The service was top notch and very catering. The food was delicious and fresh! We just missed the Happy Hour by 30 minutes but will definitely make it back next time! Parking was plentiful as it is in a shopping complex. Enjoy!

Yelp fam!!!! I had been slacking on date nights recently, we've been basically everywhere. Luckily a colleague gave me a recommendation, it was in the county. As a food adventurer we aren't afraid to travel & we are glad we made it to Bacco Italian + Wine Bar!!! Wow first off- the Decor & the way this place looks is very nice. I love the bar area and the booths are spacious and comfortable. We went on a Wednesday ****PRO TIP- 1/2 price wine on Wednesday's**** We were blessed with 2 bottles by a friend of mine who was dining as well. Both of the wines were great( Malbec) & they had a wide selection. In addition we had Whiskey orange crush The shrimp gondola Caesar salad Short rib Custom pasta with shrimp Everything was tasty and flavorful. Our waitress was amazing & gave us a free dessert for our anniversary. Fully equipped with a sparkler. It was refreshing to try a new place and be impressed! This will be a standard spot to hit up for dinner & happy hour!

I have to thank Chelsee for being patient with my friends and myself. Due to the exotic nature of some of the food items, we may have grilled her a bit. The space was so refreshing and welcoming with an up class romantic vibe that enhanced our overall experience. The cannoli French toast was nicely balanced with colorful flavors and textures. In contrast, the tiramisu French toast was a bit soggier than we had thought it would be, but the strawberries were w nice touch. I recommend butter coffee with that because those notes to balance the dish were missing. The jumbo donut was filled with ice cream, which my friend enjoyed immensely and didn't feel the dish lacked for anything. Lastly, the avocado toast 3 way came in good sized bites and I didn't like the one with the self-saucing egg because the flavors were off, but the middle with the smoked salmon and the last with the bruschetta on top were decently balanced and with great textures and flavors! My friends and I loved it and we can't wait to go back and try more! Especially their delicious looking lunch dishes!! The food came after some time and it wasn't too busy but perhaps it was because they were out of a few things.., I had wanted the more exotic cappuccino with amaretto but they were out. They made me a custom beverage though and still kept the marshmallow fluff on top! Talk about creative and innovative!

I've been back a few times in several days. The drinks, food and service is just right. The ambience is great inside and out.

Service was great but the eggplant Parmesan was terrible. It tasted overcooked and the sauce was salty. My husband threw up all night because of the food. We won't be back.

Food is always good especially the extra thick Godfather pizza. Service like Most pizza places : Polite and quick Only used Carryout so far but will try dining in soon

This place is the best!!! We are sitting here now. Had the pan seared branzino and the short ribs. They were perfect. We also had a few drinks.. the espresso martini should be the gold standard. Food came out very quickly. Space isn't loud. Kari was our waitress and you should ask for one of her tables.. we will be back!

Food and service are usually good - not today. Sat down in the bar area - waited 20 minutes. The place was not too busy. Not a single server approached so we left. LAME

This was my first time dining at Bacco and it will certainly not be my last! I was so incredibly impressed with our entire experience! Our server, Kari, was FANTASTIC! My boyfriend and I were celebrating our 5 year anniversary and Kari brought us champagne and a sparkler dessert! She was so attentive and all around a great server! I had the Rose Sangria and my boyfriend had the Old Fashioned. We shared a Bacco Board and a Biancaneve Flatbread. For $20, the board is such a great shareable. The Flatbread might be the best thing we ate all night! For main courses we got the Angel Hair Santa Lucia and Chicken Parm. Both were EXCELLENT! We ordered a cannoli to go and it was out of this world. Highly recommend Bacco to anyone!!

Lovely spot with beautiful decor. Service was very good and efficient. The food was better than I expected and priced very well based on the portions you get. Nice bar scene Mas well

Lets start with an amazing over the phone service for our reservation! Our table was beautiful, well set, and comfortable.. Brunch and a la carte menu option was a plus Wine dispenser with variety of grapes... Decoration 10 Music 10 atmosphere 10 Starters: Octopus cook to perfection, board of cold meats (the jam awe) Bruschettas nice and fresh Main dishes fully recommend Lobster ravioli on a saffron sauce with a hint of green onion and asparagus tip on it Risotto pescadore amazing tasty and well flavor balance Linguine and clams Yum Yummmm desserts: Creme brûlée, cannelloni, tiramisu All fresh home made and right on the not Wine selection perfect love the dispenser by the bar and set up with the self service card Once again to all the staff from the back and front of the house Thank you from our Family we were celebrating a birthday and you guys did an amazing job and Kudos to the kitchen staff!!! We will be back!!

Impeccable food options and decor make this place a standout. I've been here several times and have never encountered any issues with the service. Their selection of wines is also impressive.

I've come here so many times with friends and for date nights. I love sitting in the bar area. It's nicely decorated each season and has a fun, lively vibe. There is a wall of wine but I never see anyone filling their own glasses anymore. They have a nice wine selection on the menu. The cocktails change each season as well which makes it fun. The rice balls, mussels, and Burrata are my favorite appetizers. I often only order appetizers and lots of wine. I've had the flatbreads which I've always been disappointed in. The linguini with meat sauce is incredible! It's my favorite meal on the menu. Always a good time, always a good meal.

Post work snack. Grilled Octopus and a bottle of wine! Perfect way to end a somewhat chaotic day.

We have been to Bacco many times. Appetizers and service were very good. Love the atmosphere. However, this time some of the food wasn't very good. Something was definitely off with all the chicken. Two Chicken Parmigiana dinners tasted old and extremely tough around the edges, like it was over heated in a microwave. Another dish had breaded chicken on top of pasta. This chicken had no flavor whatsoever. Absolutely horrible. Not sure I will ever return. Too expensive to get food that is below average. Very disappointing!

We ordered takeout from Baccio a couple of times and they didn't disappoint. Curbside pickup was seamless. Great selection of Italian favorites & they also have pizza. We've tried a few dishes. Angel Hair Santa Lucia is a favorite and crave worthy! (Added sausage but didn't really need it.) Fettuccine Bolognese was excellent with their version having a light cream sauce. Shrimp Scampi was also tasty. Fettuccini Alfredo was okay. Heavy Cream yes but was missing the Parmesan/cheese flavor. We added our own Parm and that helped. (Also adding broccoli worked nicely). For Antipasti, the Grilled Octopus was on point as well the Bella Meatball flatbread & Calamari. Lunch menu is available from 11-4 where we tried the Polpettone Panini (meatball). For dessert, would highly recommend the Limoncello Cake & Tiramisu! Overall, looks like a great spot to dine in with a substantial bar area as well outside seating. Our servers were courteous and friendly. Looking forward to returning and dining in!

What an amazing find! It's rare we leave the city, because there are so many options nearby, but I'm so glad we did to experience this spot! The food was tasty, the wine options felt endless, and the staff absolutely make it special. (Context: We visited on half-off wine bottles night.) Came here for a date night and will absolutely be back! Apparently the happy hour here is FIRE , so make sure you check it out!

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Reasonable prices for what you get. High quality, not pretentious. Try the Chianti short rib, sooo good! This will definitely be a repeat place when I'm in town. Even great live music on a Friday!

Highly recommend for happy hour (M-F til 6pm in the bar area). Half priced on any menu item from the "Antipasto" section. Our group opted for a savory sampling of multiple menu items: Large portion of flavorful brussel sprouts ($6.50 HH pricing), Shrimp Gondola ($7.50) which is shrimp served upon a toast bread - it was tasty, Meatballs E Polento ($5.00) which was 4 meatballs served atop a bed of polenta - meatballs were tender and yummy, and Brushetta Napolenta ($5.00) - I wasn't overly fond of this appetizer as the toasted crostini/bread was very hard, thus it was difficult to bite into or even cut up. All in all, great place to meet up with friends! The total bill for our group of 5 was $76 which included 1 sangria, one entree and 7 appetizers! This happy hour made me happy!

Hands down, my favorite restaurant in Harford County! The food is delicious, service is excellent, and ambiance upscale-cozy. Feel like having pizza in a hoodie? Craving Caccuicco in your formal wear? Either way, Bacco is the way to go. Do not skip their cocktails, though. They change out the specialty cocktails but two of my favorites are the Toasted Marshmallow Old Fashioned and the Pumpkin Espresso Martini.

Flat breads were awesome. Service was awesome. Try the Sophia Loren ravioli stuffed with spinach. They have a legit vino set up which we will partake in the future. Good spot that Bacco.

I absolutely love the atmosphere here. Food is served very hot. I found this place picking up a Door Dash order and couldn't wait to go back. The warm bread was great. I ordered Salmon Fettuccine Alfredo!

Food was awesome, Allen was great server, definitely gotta ask for his service, everything was perfect.
