Review Baci Bistro - Kailua

Loved our dinner here. Cocktail recommendation: The Bee’s Knees, fantastic. Great food, great server and a really nice ambiance. Definitely recommend this place

All over excellent! Started with the Mussels & great bottle of wine.. Then we each tried the veal ( three ways ).. each bite of food was an explosion of ecstasy!! Wonderful service & atmosphere 🥰 The carpaccio was excellent too!!

We were not planning to stop here for dinner during our returning trip from north shore. Pleasantly surprised by the authentic Italian dishes. I got the risotto and it was delicious. The portions was just right, but my friend’s spaghetti with clams was a big portion that came with a lot more clams than she had expected. It’s a pretty busy restaurant so I do recommend making reservations!

We ordered takeout and it was very delicious. We ordered an array of entries and all were very good. Too lazy right now to list the entries, but it appears you can't go wrong with whatever you order. I definitely recommend this place.

I can’t begin to explain how amazing my experience here was. To start off the service was great, everyone was very patient and never rushed us to order. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, it felt like a place you go to for comfort. The food was delicious and the wine was perfect with it. I did know prior to going that it was a family owned business, and after leaving I could definitely tell how much love they’ve put into everything. Overall I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes and drinks :)

We loved discovering restaurants in Kailua on our trip to Oahu, and this place was our favorite! Fantastic Italian food and an impressive wait staff made for a perfect dinner. We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to make room for us at the bar. I would definitely recommend reservations on the weekend. Also note that all of the parking around the town center uses coin operated meters, so have some quarters handy. Worth the drive in from Waikiki for the change of pace and amazing food.

Good small Italian restaurant. The food was upscale with a casual atmosphere. The service was excellent after we were able to be seated. There is not a very good place to wait if you are early for your reservations. The seating isn't very comfortable and it has a crowded feeling. Overall that's just splitting hairs because the food and service were fantastic. I would recommend this as a place to take a date you want to spoil when you don't feel like getting dressed up. Very good Tom Collins and an excellent wine list.

Came here on a recommendation from Uahi Grill’s bartender who raved about their truffle gnocchi. You need to make a reservation. Food was delicious, bus boy was always fillings water and taking empty plates, waiter didn’t keep us waiting long and was friendly, atmosphere was cozy and decor was nice. Owner Chris came to the table and she was very friendly. Also impressed me that she was helping throughout the restaurant. Love owners who can be a team player ❤️ They serve complimentary bread with oil and vinegar which was simple but good. You can see what we had but the texture of noodles on the linguini nere was so tender and scallops were cooked perfectly! And flavor of that dish was so Ono! Flavor and texture of shrimp dish was also perfect, noodles were Al dente but you could tell there was a difference in texture between the pasta dishes. Maybe the squid ink changes the texture. The potato leek soup was on point! My only disappointment was the cherry panacotta. It is my favorite dish so I was looking forward to the texture of it being more jiggly. It was more of the texture of crème brûlée but it was creamy and flavor was yummy. The fresh berries on top was a nice touch! We will definitely be back! Improvements? 1. some fresh ground pepper offered with oil and vinegar. 2. Say something about the texture of panna cotta so we know what to expect. I Probly would’ve ordered anyway because I love black cherries.

We had an incredible evening sitting at the bar for dinner. Our severs and TJ at the bar were so entertaining and the food was absolutely delicious. We had two vegan meals - spicy spaghetti and a vegetable risotto and Lilli sorbet for dessert and our non-vegan friends absolutely loved their meal as well especially their famous cheesecake. Great spot for a date or an intimate dinner with friends.

Went here for my birthday dinner. Gnocchi was great, bruschetta was amazing, chocolate decadence for dessert was delicious. Our waiter was super nice. Great atmosphere. Also I really like their soda glasses and wish they would sell them so I could have one at home.

We came back for my husbands 22nd birthday! Our experience was great! Our server was A+ as well. We didn’t catch his name but he was a taller/lankier gentleman with dark hair. If you get him then just know you’re in great hands! I had the special of the night- spinach and ricotta ravioli and it was really good! My husband loved the lobster ravioli. The bruschetta is a must! Our baby also woke up right as our food arrived ( he’s a ball of energy) so we weren’t able to fully enjoy our meal since we were passing him back and forth- but we never felt that we were a nuisance for having a 7 month old with us. The outside lanai is very stroller friendly- which we love and appreciate- we have gone to many restaurants on island where we’re looked down upon for having a stroller with us- this is not the case at Baci the staff there want you to have the best experience regardless of the fact that you have to take your children with you. I do wish they had high chairs so we could have seated him while we ate. The food was quick and delicious. We got drinks this time and they refilled my husband’s soda multiple times without us asking. We have reservations at the end of the month when my parents come and we’re excited to take them to baci bistro!

What a charming vibe. Tasty Italian restaurant with great service. Delicious sauce and wine selections. Great date nite place or just a nice venue for any occasion. We chose to share selections from throughout the menu and every bite was wonderful. Make sure to leave room for the marscapone cheesecake! It's blissful!

A real gem of a restaurant based on the quality of Italian food offered, the level of service by a well organized/trained staff who are obviously on top of their game. All of the dishes are professionally made by a trio of talented chefs; had the veal Saltimbocca that was prepared to perfection, should not have eaten it all yet could not harness the willpower to stop and bring it home as I did the delicious tiramisu. Thank you Baci!!

Excellent seafood and Italian dishes. Definitely a place you want to make a reservation for. There is indoor seating which can get kind of loud depending on who is in for the night, but there is also a number of tables out front under an awning, which is perfect for evenings in Kaneohe.
