    Went there for the third time ordered a sausage and pepper calzone and let me say it was incredible ! Stuffed to the gills and they gave the side sauce which many places charge for now. So needless to say whenever I visit my daughter I will be eating here. Nice work.

    I've been ordering from Bacio to-go occasionally for a few years now. Their food is fantastic and what I appreciate most is their consistency. Whatever I order, it's the same quality meal, regardless of day of the week or time of day. Overall just delicious food and quality service each and every time. Thank you!

    Pizzas were hot and service was quick. I usually order a pizza from their display and they heat it up and bring it to the table. Haven’t tried to do the full dine in option with the menu yet.

    Perfect pizza spot for college students! Their pizzas, penne alla vodka, spaghetti Nonna, chicken parmigiana, and sandwiches are all fantastic. The service is always friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy and clean. Highly recommend! I recently ordered the tiramisu and it was absolutely delicious! It was made with ladyfinger cookies, which are rare to find and made it taste extra authentic and flavorful. I ordered the Margherita Pizza and it was amazing!

    Wow totally amazed. Might be better than MYC pizzeria!! We came down to this town after visiting Art Omi (an hour away), and stayed a night at a hotel nearby before heading back home. We researched and found many other pizza places in the town, and there are too many that looks good that it's hard to decide. So we asked the front desk lady at the hotel and she recommended is this spot.. so we tried! I'm so glad we went with her recommendation, Pizzeria Bacio is SO good! It's the classic NYC pizza but with labor and love that you can taste. The soup already blew me away - all vegs are hand cut to cubes, the soup is not having too much flavors that's odd, but a cooked well yet not over cooked vegs and pasta soup. The margarita pizza is so well balanced. The dough is light, airy but bottom crust is crisp, the sauce is very neutral yet works well with the cheese being thinly cut, and the basil is spread evenly you can taste it every bite! We also got the lasagna and it's also not heavy at all! Real mozzarella cheese, perfectly al dente pasta, and the meat sauce is not heavy yet saucy. Cannoli is not hard shell (like the fake, pre baked ones) and the filling is not cream but an actual cannoli filling!! Maybe I'm too dramatic for having real Italian and NY pizza...but sometimes even in the state of NY you don't get this quality! You can tell they made everything in house without cutting corner! We did take out but the server at front was nice, and we can tell it would be nice to dine in. It was somewhat busy on a Friday night. Overall highly recommend this place! We are planning to come back just for this pizzeria in the future!

    Very happy with our 1st experience at Bacio’s this evening. The garlic knots were fresh and hot right from the oven with just the right amount of seasoning. And the Margherita Pizza was tasty with the perfect texture crust. But the whole experience was so good because our waitress Nicole was attentive and genuinely friendly!We will be returning to try some homemade soup and pasta dishes!

    We have known the owner, Jerry, from before he opened Bacio, as being a great chef and businessman who prides his restaurant in offering high quality of ingredients in each dish. The results are a menu full of savory choices. Every time we have guests we take them to Bacio and we have never had a lunch or dinner less than delicious. The portions are generous and the staff is knowledgeable, friendly and efficient.
