The Best Italian Restaurants in Bucks County | Eater Philly

"Located in a historic building near the Doylestown-Buckingham line is Baci Ristorante where you’ll find Northern Italian cuisine offerings on the menu and an impressive wine list. Start your meal with the generously sized Caesar salad and then choose your main course from options such as gamberi alla Toscana, veal scaloppine, and trenette alla vecchia maniera — a pasta dish with prosciutto, peas, and mushrooms in a light cream sauce. You can enjoy your meal in the elegant dining room or opt for an alfresco dining experience on the back deck when the weather is nice." - Kristen Kwiatkowski

The Best Spots to Eat in Bucks County

"Northern Italian cuisine and English pub fare effortlessly combine on the menu at Baci Ristorante and Heart of Oak Pub, two dining establishments in one. Dine upstairs in the historic building at Baci Ristorante and enjoy the trenette pasta with prosciutto, peas, and mushrooms in a cream sauce, traditional shepherd’s pie, and pan-seared veal scaloppine, or keep it casual by grabbing a Philly cheesesteak sandwich and a hoppy IPA downstairs at the Heart of Oak Pub." - Kristen Kwiatkowski

It leaves nice rustic impression. We had tasty eggplant rollatini, Tagliatelle alla Boglonese, Tortellini Salsicia, and pasta fagioli. Burger needs some work to be done. Guinness beer was fabulous.

Beautiful restaurant. The food is delicious. Some of the best tiramisu I've ever had. Been several times, tonight I had the mushroom risotto! Highly recommend. My date had the chicken & leek pie, it was delicious. Go and enjoy a great meal! Another great night at Baci! Had the special, roasted red pepper soup with goat cheese. Delicious!!!! Took a picture of the bar. Isn't it pretty! Awesome staff!

Went here for our first time today for lunch. We liked the outside area and enjoyed our shrimp entree and asparagus side. They were even nice enough to separately plate the entree my friend and I were splitting. Would like to come back for dinner another time.

Beautiful venue. Dining room is cozy, rustic, romantic. Live music beginning around 7, not too loud; very classy. Service is professional, and typically prompt, but we noticed some longer waits towards the end of our stay when the dining room began to fill up. One annoying feature – our table did not sit evenly on the floor, so it wobbled badly. Food was fine, but not great. Minestrone soup was good, though it lacked pasta and beans, so I’d describe it more as a vegetable soup. Vegetables were numerous and varied, so it was enjoyable. The eggplant appetizer was fantastic. “Rolled eggplant, prosciutto, mozzarella in pink cream sauce.” The two small pieces went quickly, shared between two people. I was wishing for a third piece. The pasta special: “Cavatelli, oyster mushrooms, veal ragu.” The pasta itself was cooked just right – slightly chewy, not at all mushy. The sauce was overly oily, and could have benefited from more mushrooms. And the flavor of the sauce was just not to my liking. Also rather salty. Merluzzo Livornese – “Cod, pan-seared with black olives, onion, capers, tomato, garlic white wine.” I think this is a good dish – the different flavors blended together well, but maybe the cod filet itself was not great. Overall, just “not bad”. Served with fresh, crispy broccoli and thin strips of carrots. Bread is freshly baked and warm, but not good Italian bread; very white and soft, with no crust. Served with a very large piece of good butter. The tiramisu desert was light and delicious. Parking lot is tight, so please leave your monster trucks and massive SUVs at home. There is some street parking. Parking lot and street are dark, and a bit of a hazard for the elderly, so take care. There is a beautiful patio for outdoor dining.

What a wonderful dining experience! My boyfriend and I started with the eggplant rollatini and mozzarella in carrozza. Absolutely delicious. The pink sauce on the eggplant was super garlicky- just how we like it! We had the tortellini with sausage & mushrooms and the tagliatelle bolognese for entrees and they were incredible. The service was great and the drinks were very good as well. I can’t remember the name of our server but she was so sweet. The upstairs dining room was beautifully decorated and has a very Tuscan vibe. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We only been here twice, and each time, we really enjoyed it. The service was great. The food recommended was perfect. Our server suggested the eggplant app, and I'm not an eggplant lover, but this dish was DELICIOUS!!! The sauce was soooo good. The drinks were yummy too!! I love dining outside and can't wait for the weather to get nice. I definitely will be back again!!

We had made reservations online through Resy. When we arrived, we checked in, and we were told that someone in our party had called the restaurant and told them we wanted to sit downstairs (in the English Pub), but no one from our party had called to make that request. After a few minutes we were seated in the back dining room, and we got settled in. Everything was delicious: the drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts. We ordered the calamari, mozzarella in carrozza and steak fries for appetizers. Then for our main dishes we had the cod, bolognese, pasta ai frutti di mare, and one of their specials of the evening. They also have gluten free pasta! For dessert, we ordered the creme brulee, tartufo and peanut butter & chocolate cheesecake (also gluten free). The espresso was also very good! Overall, we enjoyed our meal. On busy nights, the parking lot can get filled quickly, so be aware. We'd definitely go back.

Decent restaurant in Bucks county. Popular with families in the area. Standard pastas and Italian dishes. Limited wine and beer list. My shiraz tasted like wine from a box. Service was not existed. Once the order was placed, we never see our waitress again. What bothered us most is its "reservation" method. We reserved our table, but when we showed up, we were told "grab a free table and we will bring the menus to you". We came on a nice night. There was a band playing, so the average food, cheap wine were better than usual. Response to owner's comment..... Your restaurant was rated on: - Food: decent - Drink: blah - Service: non-existent - Reservation methods: non-existent and ineffective. All items above are objectively spelled out. If you want to improve your restaurant, you need to look at what are being done and find ways to make them better. You cannot serve wine from a box or a jug and demand good money for it. You cannot set up a reservation system that does not set the tables aside waiting for the incoming guests. What you did was wrong and borderline unethical. Do not hurl insults at the messenger. I wrote what I saw.....

Whether you are a local or visiting Heart of Oak is a must do when you find yourself in Buckingham. Definitely feels like you good be walking in to a local pub in Ireland or London. The charm and character of the place is authentic, and the beer selection is tremendous. More than likely you'll be greeted by Tony or another member of the staff, and they will make you feel at home. On a recent visit, my son and I started with the calamari, tender and delicious. The bolognese was my son's choice, and I went NY strip and garlic mashed potatoes. Needless to say, we joined the clean plate crew at the end of dinner. Do yourself a favor and stop in.

This is an amazingly good pub and restaurant. The service was superior and the wait staff was incredibly efficient, friendly and attentive. The menu was oriented towards Northern Italy but also some great British dishes such as Shepherds Pie, Bangers and Mash and Fish and chips are available. Excellent selection of draft craft beers and wine! The atmosphere is typical of old European pubs. The same menu from the upstairs restaurant is also available downstairs in the pub. Also Pet friendly. I highly recommend the Shepherds Pie. It was amazing. Going back tonight for the Bangers and Mash!!!!

We came on Mother's Day at 11:50 and there were only 2 other families. We had a party of 4. 2 salads 2 chicken tenders took about 15-20 min. The atmosphere was perfect. Wonder where the amazing lamps came from. (Kid review) Mom loved the decor, warm bread and salads. Great glass of wine too. Waiter was awesome.

I like this spot. There is plenty of parking. The Chicken Parm was ok. The drinks were pretty good. I will be coming back.

Visited Baci's restaurant (not tavern) on 1/18. The waiter was so rude! Never checked in on us to ask if we needed anything. Didn't come over and ask if we wanted dessert, instead sent bus boy over. To add insult to injury, he handed us the check and didn't acknowledge us. If you don't mind being ignored, the food was very good. Too bad I won't be returning.

Always loved the service and food everytime. Heart of the Oak is a great pub for before or after dinner upstairs. Today calamari app was perfect. NE clam chowder was nice, less creamy than classic but lots of clams. Entrees we're all gone Chicken special was similar to scarpiarello Chicken leek pie was good I like it here!!

Would like to start off by saying I can see this being a great place to cozy up to the bar and grab a few pints. It's a charming old building with an old inn type feel Service was great. Water was served cold, bread was served warm. No real complaints but the food itself was just fair. Not spectacular or bad. Just a decent food experience and good dining experience. Average rating of 3.5 seems appropriate

Waited 2 hours for our dinner to get to the table after ordering on a Saturday night. My boyfriend's pasta dish was skimpy. He took one bite and it looked like he was almost done. Will not be going back.

I knew i was taking a chance when I ordered an Old Fashioned at this Italian place. Dumb, but still -- how hard is it? When the OF comes to the table pink in color, I know it's not good. It just tasted like watered-down whiskey. I just saved you; stick to the wine. Of the five meals our table ordered, two of them were served room temperature! Really?? Food not hot?? Embarrassing. I ordered the cod. It sounded so good on the menu -- cod with peppers, onions, tomatoes and capers and a lemon-white wine sauce. What came was a very small piece of cod buried under about two inches of sauce, which was a close cousin of tomato sauce. It didn't taste too bad, but it was the most non-elegant seafood dish this side of fish and chips. It was OK, but it was a plate of glop. I would have liked more cod, and less sauce to flavor it; the sauce was by far the primary ingredient. My wife got veal with spinach. It was pretty good, but came out cold. She had to send it back. My son got a cheesesteak and we all agreed, it was probably the best item of everything our table ordered. Actually really good. Cheesesteak at an Italian place. I would give this place 1/4 star for friendliness. The staff there was just simply not friendly at all. Everyone on the staff there seemed to not want to be there.

Excellent first experience last night ---- wonderful shrimp salad app, tender n delish veal dish, piping hot bread , bottle of wine not overly priced up .... service was lovely by a petite blonde ( didn't get her name ) Atmosphere upstairs is more romantic, downstairs ( sane menu ) more casual . All employees warm n welcoming

It felt like being in Europe. The decor was a bit run down, but it was quaint and the service was great. The Bourbon Manhattans weren't so great but the Stuffed Veal Chop and Tagliatelle all's Bolognese were amazing. I will definitely go back.

Yelp
Let me start by saying the wait staff and the setting isn't bad at all. The food however is abysmal, quite honestly pretty sad given the price. The appetizers looked and tasted like a microwavable version of what was on the menu and the steak was overcooked and hardly discernible from something I could've bought on sale in any grocery store. The sauce that I got with it had a thin crust over top of it as if it had been sitting out for awhile. The quality of the ingredients as well as the way they're cooked are nothing beyond what could be expected of a mediocre home cook and at least the home cook is probably trying. I'm not trying to say don't go here but lower your expectations the pseudo italian feel that the menu gives is quickly drowned by the lackluster fare served in this restaurant.

Trapped at home due to omicron - I escaped this one late afternoon to an empty late afternoon eatery. The service was sterling to hilarious as I sat masked and eating at different times. The Albanian waitress or hostess-server was charming and informative. Then there was the shark tank feel of three waiters who with nothing to do and kept cruising by my table as I sat thinking "is this how Covid find me?" I dropped a ring into the floor register I thought only to have two waitstaff find Jaba had only dropped the Ring near the register... Not a drop was drunk of vino or spiritus. It was simply that kind of night. Then the odd couple of a septuagenarian and his comely Asian dining companion - at one point he bellowed she was burning through $40,000 a month in cash. She quietly corrected him: " a lot was on cards." Love is everywhere. As the dining room filled and my fear of getting infected grew - all maskless - I found myself devouring Philly cheese steak, pork loin, tiramisu, cannoli, two cokes, a crappachino and espressos before I finally vamoosed. A pig feast for a pig king. The wait staff were bemused - I was sated and waddled off into the Pennsyltucky night. 25% tip to pay for my frequent bloviating for more chow. Covid free I remained and sated like a bovine glutton. Chow was massive and a 6 out of 10.

While working in Doylestown, PA, I have had an opportunity to have dinner in the English pub portion of this beautiful restaurant. And I sat at the bar in the Heart of Oak Pub which is located on the bottom floor underneath the main restaurant. There are several different environments to have a meal, including on the balcony, and in a large yard studded with tables and umbrellas, and lit up during the evening. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak with provolone cheese, peppers and onions ($0.75 each extra) that comes with fries. Service was great and quick. The food came also very quick and was perfectly cooked; the bread was crisp and light, the sliced ribeye almost melted in your mouth and was seasoned perfectly. The fries were crisp and not oily and came with ketchup. The restaurant serves traditional English dishes as well as northern Italian and American. There was a wide selection of beer on tap as well as wine and spirits. For the quality of food the price was very reasonable and the restaurant can accommodate very large groups.

Gave this place another shot and it's my last time. I ordered Fish and Chips to takeout. I should have known by the strong fish smell on my drive home, that something was wrong. I don't live close or I would have returned it. The fish was spoiled! It had a strong ammonia smell and taste synonymous with bad seafood. Two small pieces of fish and a small order of fries cost over $19 with tax. With today's economy, this was outrageous and unacceptable.

Went with some friends, beautiful restaurant with outdoor and indoor seating. Food was fresh and delicious! Service was phenomenal! Prices were decent. Great wine selection, we fell in love with a merlot the wine sommelier recommended and ended drinking 2 bottles (for 4 of us)! Initially my card was charged more than what we had wrote on the slip but it was corrected within a couple days. Would highly recommend this restaurant!

This review is just for drinks and apps. F and I were tooling around in the area and looking for a nice outdoor spot to grab a snack and wet our whistle. Checking with my Yelp friends, I found the cute tavern. Both outdoor and indoor spaces are open. We opted for outside, of course. The service was quick and efficient. It was pretty empty at 2ish. (When we drove by later it was packed. Calamari appetizer was good. Nothing out of this world. The Martini was well made. F had a stout, also very good. The only drawback is the location on a very busy intersection. Some barrier plantings would work really well here.

This was my first time eating at Baci. We ordered drinks which were ok, service was a little slow but that was fine - I was in no hurry. I was hungry...didn't order salad went right for the pasta in a garlic sauce - figured that would fill me up... WELL I was wrong!! There wasn't enough pasta in the dish to feed a 5 year old. For $20.00 I had about 4 fork fulls of pasta. Honestly - at a $1.00 a box (on sale anywhere) for Angel hair pasta my dish should have been overflowing. I couldn't believe what I was paying. Usually at least bread comes with a meal - No Bread!! Who doesn't give bread with pasta?? I was out with friends - my share with tip was $40 - one drink and a taste of pasta (which wasn't great) for $40 - I'll stay home and cook!! Your portions compared to price of product are way off...I know...I'm in the food business. Don't order pasta here if your hungry!!!

It was our first time at Baci. We had 6:30 reservations, however we arrived early to have a drink at the bar before dinner...Dirty martini's all around, we're perfectly made...sat for dinner a bit early and it was no big deal for a Saturday night. We had some clams, carpaccio, eggplant rollatini, and beet salad. All were amazing. Our wonderful server recommended the rollatini and that was my favorite. LOL... I read some reviews saying the bread wasn't good, but ours was warm and wonderful. I had the veal scaloppine and my wife had the bolognese... both were excellent, the bolognese was killer! Our server recommended that as one of her favorite dishes and it might be mine too. This might be my favorite meal since Covid started ruining everyone's lives. Thank you

No... Out... never again... Sat down at the bar downstairs. Yeah, we did get a drink within 15 mins. Ok, not great, but had worse. We were ready to order food almost immediately... Didn't see anyone for at least 15 MORE mins. People sitting next to us noticed. "Don't worry, we know the bartenders here. They are great!" Didn't help. No one showed up. We decided to leave, but had to pay our check. Which we did, even though I really didn't want to. Then, the one bartender came over to tell us that he was very attentive. Really? REALLY?? All I could say was, "Eff you! Leaving!". Never again. Such a shame.

We had a family reunion if 25 people to welcome folks of four generations to town before my mom's funeral. We had appetizers, dinner buffet of fabulous authentic Italian cuisine. There's beer wine and access to full bar. Service people were responsive and professional. Also been many times as a family and as a couple. Food is fantastic and wine list/bar full service

Great spot with a very relaxed comforting vibe. Martini with stuffed olive and tortellini with sausage hits the spot. If you're looking for more romantic setting, upstairs Baci is the place. Heart of oak pub has that tavern-esque feel to it.

We ate at Baci Ristortante, not the Pub... so there is that. My advice would be to order only the pasta entrees from Baci Ristorante (see photo). The steaks were terrible cuts and, despite asking if I should order it rare on the side of caution, was assured that a steak ordered medium rare would be delivered with a warm pink center... definitely not the case (see picture). My wife had a shrimp dish, and I'll just leave the description as "rubber." The service was okay, left a little to be desired... not personable or helpful really, but that could have been because our table had a few kids. The service vibe changed as our check total grew. I don't normally comment on bathrooms, but the bathrooms do not have changing tables and it would also have helped if they ensured there were paper towels in the dispenser and that the trash bins were emptied. Never fun going to the bathroom with a pile of used paper towels on the floor. The only positive was the clientele... very friendly and welcoming people and everyone was clearly there to have a good time.

This was either an off night or the business has fallen Bird droppings on the table with no table cloth. Service was slow and nearly what it used to be.

Service was fair at best. Silverware was dirty. The water glasses had lipstick on them. The server didn't even know what they were out of on the menu or desert. I've been in cleaner rest rooms at a ballpark.

Absolutely terrible. The glasses were dirty. The food was bland. The bread was stale and cold. The pasta and fries were undercooked. The waiter was too quiet, no one could hear her. Overall terrible experience and I would never recommend someone to ever come back to this horrible establishment.

We sat outside so the atmosphere is pretty much what the weather is that day. Loved their fried calamari. The marinara sauce is tasty. The rib eye could've been better marinated, it was lacking some flavor. It did come with a wine dipping sauce but it was a bit on the sweet side. The service was good. Definitely a place worth trying.

We ate outside. The service was poor. Our wives dinner arrived after my friend almost finished ours. The wrong beer was delivered. Meals were above average but the timeliness of the meals arriving dampened the evening. They did apologize but nothing was offered off the bill or a free drink.

I had Sunday dinner with my wife and friends there. The service and the food was great. We started with Calamari and some drinks. Our drinks appeared in mere minutes. The Calamari was crispy and not greasy at all...perfect. My wife had fish and I had a veal dinner. All in all, the service and meal was great. I topped off my meal with an Irish coffee...yum! I highly recommend this place.

Visited this place about 2 weeks ago. Service was slow, waitstaff was horrible. Food was mediocre at best. Do not recommend this establishment to anyone who desires good food and great atmosphere. This place has neither.

The atmosphere outside on Friday night with live music is perfect for date night. I felt safe and socially distanced outside, but also got to enjoy some live entertainment. The food was excellent. I'm not a big mushroom fan, so our waitress suggested the tortellini with peas instead and it was a great choice. The service was very good. They are willing to make recommendations and take special requests. They also make some great fall themed cocktails. My husband worked his way through the list and enjoyed all of them For desert, we had the Apple fritter. It was amazing. We will definitely be back.

Heart of the Oak is my go to after work spot! I love the garden atmosphere, getting to pet other people doggies and the drinks can't be beat! The food is also delish! I can never decide what I want bc I want it ALL! The thing I love most is how laid back it is, great spot to catch up with friends or hear some sweet jams. The playlist always slaps and there is the occasional performer. Highly recommend!

Really good quality place to dine. I don't think there is anywhere in Bucks County that compares. I've been a customer at this location for over 30 + years from the Stone Manor Inn, the Yacht Club, the Wookie Hole, Buckingham Steak House & for the last 20 years, Baci. If your looking for a casual Pub type atmosphere visit the downstairs bar. Good Beer selection & excellent food. Looking for a dining experience, then it's upstairs where you'll be impressed with a creative menu of deliciously prepared food that will guarantee your return, never disappointing. Along with the decor, ambience & service it truly is simply the best. If you've never been, your missing out, really ! Bob N Doylestown

One thing I have always loved about Heart of the Oak was the ambience. It is a spot which sits directly below it's sister restaurant, Baci. The nice thing here is you have the ability to order from the Heart of the Oak menu as well as the Baci menu. Here the food is always delicious and the service fabulous! Never had a bad experience upstairs of downstairs. It is a personal favorite restaurant.

Food was ok waiter was in rush to go to a singles meet! He took off without a good bye or to atleast let us know someone else would come in his place. His relief was worst she began to set up tables without a greet and to make matters worst sitting outside at lunchtime was bad with so many trucks I couldn't hear my grandma who I took for a birthday lunch.

We love it here....both restaurants! The pub downstairs has an authentically English atmosphere with a great menu of pub favorites. We brought our English cousins here and they loved it! The Italian restaurant upstairs has an elegant but relaxed feel. We love both restaurants and the fact that we can order from either no matter where we choose to sit. The eggplant rolitini is a huge hit every single time. Give it a try!

Baci is a confused restaurant. It's half upscale Italian and half English pub. I had an aperitif at the pub, which was a cozy bar with televisions. We then went upstairs for dinner at the Italian part. I ordered the calamari as my appetizer, it was good without being spectacular. For my main, I had the New York strip, cooked rare and served with vegetables. I was nervous to see that the steaks were all served with various sauces (quality meat needs only salt, pepper and butter, never a sauce!). I ordered mine without sauce, and again it was pretty average. The steak was cooked correctly, but the meat was thin and a bit tough. For dessert, I had the tiramisu, which was pretty good. Their mixed dessert drinks (grasshopper) was nothing to write home about.

We chose this place from Yelp as we were going to be visiting Peddler's Village nearby. I really regret driving even further to get here. The food was not good and really didn't seem like authentic Italian. The dishes that stood out the most were the calamari appetizer and the seafood with angel hair. The pic of the calamari on Yelp looked nothing like what they served. What they served were very skinny rings with a dark, bad coating instead of fresh calamari with a light, crispy exterior (like the pic on yelp). The Capellini al Frutti di Mare had a bad seafood taste as well as a lot of sand in it. To top it off it took a long time to be served. Every place has a bad night but I wouldn't choose this place based on the photos as some may not match what they serve.

My friend and I have been driving past this small, unassuming place for over a decade! Doesn't look like much from the outside. Parking lot no so great. We had lunch in the Heart of Oak Pub. Great food, friendly service. We would have enjoyed the ambience more if the lawnmowers weren't right outside our window and there weren't televisions disrupting the "cellar atmosphere." Food delicious. Amazing varied menu. Salads, sandwiches, soups, entrees, pastas... Waiting to go back to try dinner in the restaurant! In the meantime will definitely go back for lunch.

Oscar, I do hope you see this. I was extremely touched by your response. This has hurt me deeply, as I have been a loyal patron for 3 years now and have come to really adore the staff, my dog loves coming there and I brought family, celebrated birthdays and introduced many friends to your establishment. I developed wonderful friendships with your staff who are always warm, engaging and honestly hilarious at times but most importantly made me feel like they really cared. Until this person came about a year ago. I stopped coming there as much after he came. It was just uncomfortable despite my best efforts to get to know him. He was rude from Day One. I don't expect everyone to like everyone but he seemed to make a point of not liking me. This hurt because I used to call Baci my "Happy Place". I am not sure I will be back, this hurt me in a lot of ways. This man needs to be taught that you never know what someone has been through in their life and you cannot yell and scream and violate someone's personal space. I suffer from life long PTSD and I'm still very shaken from his actions. He needs to be trained. He needs sensitivity training. He needs to learn that although you don't have to like someone, when you are in a customer service based industry you can't do whatever you want. I work in a customer service based industry and I don't like some of my clients but I can't say that, I have to give them the same level of service I give everyone else or I would not be successful. You can't like everyone but you also cannot treat someone how I was treated without consequences. I love your restaurant, I have nothing but fond memories until now. Hopefully this person will get the help and training he needs to be a better human being. I wish you nothing but the best. One more thing I do believe you should know is that this person continued to attack me via private messages over two social media platforms on Monday, saying horrible and untrue and hurtful things to me. I kept those if anyone needs to see them. You may want to have another talk with him. You feel it's resolved but I do not, at least not to where I feel comfortable.

Have eaten here twice in the past 2 months. Both times the food was superb. I had the best most interesting salad ever, it was a daily special: spiral cucumbers with avocado, tomato, onion & some delicious, very light dressing. I may be missing something but I loved it. Also got the minestrone soup which is soooooo good. My son had the filet, which he raved about. Service the first time was excellent, a very professional server who clearly knew just how often to stop by. The second time, not so great, they were busier & the level of service was nowhere near as good. Both times were weeknights and we ate outside downstairs. Wish they would bring bread automatically (or at least ask) but we had to request it both times. It's a bit pricey for a family, we decided maybe to make it a date night destination instead. Overall, the quality of food & the relaxed atmosphere outside would definitely bring us back. Would recommend for sure. I hope they feature that cucumber salad again!!!

Came in and the bartender and another server looked horribly perplexed at my existence. It was kind of funny. I guess they don't usually get guests coming in on their own to eat at the bar in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday? Aside from that, service was alright and the gentlemen who took care of me had a lovely accent. I could not shake the feeling that my sudden arrival felt like somewhat of a nuisance but I may just be making that up, plus I think I can get over it and move on with my life. Food was very yummy and the wine was honestly amazing. I could totally come back just to get to wet my lips with their Pinot Noir again. I might just do that, actually. An alright first impression for me. I'll come back for sure, but I don't think I'll be in any hurry.

Went to Baci Ristorante with a group of 8 for Christmas Eve. Service was very friendly and attentive as we had a baby with us. I promise they weren't crying, but baby's mother needed to excuse herself a few times to tend to the baby. Each time she got up the staff quickly took her plate to the back to keep it warm. Food wise weirdly ordered separate except we did share the Gorgonzola Salad. Insalata di Gorgonzola had Spring mix, gorgonzola, walnuts, pears, red onion, and balsamic vinaigrette. Really good and the portion was definitely shareable in size. Unfortunately I couldn't snag a picture quick enough of the eggplant rolatini but they had it in a vodka sauce that was really good and made everyone regret not getting an entree with the vodka sauce. For dinner I had the Chicken special that was stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, ham, and goat cheese in a mushroom Marsala sauce with a side of broccoli and carrots. The dish was very good and chicken was cooked perfectly! Would recommend in Bucks!

AWFUL SERVICE. Long wait for appetizers and easily a 45 minute wait for entrees. Not all of the entrees came out of the kitchen at the same time. After waiting some more time we got up, found the waiter to let him know we were still waiting on 2 entrees. The food was adequate but not worth their prices. Ultimately service was a huge, HUGE, fail.
