Our meal at I'm Bacio tonight was incredibly mediocre…read more
The ambiance and service was lovely. It's hard to beat eating on the main piazza in Perugia.
But when it comes to the food, we were deeply underwhelmed.
We ordered the "Incredible Barbecue for Two," a huge platter of grilled pork chops, chicken breast, sausages, and beef filet. Everything, and I mean every cut and piece was overcooked, grilled to death, dry, and unseasoned. If I were the chef at Il Bacio, I'd slap my Grill Man for destroying fine meat like that! "Incredible" as in not credible? Yes! Not enjoyable in the least!
My wife did enjoy her sweet and sour salad. The fried squash blossoms were all breading no flavor. And the roast potatoes were serviceable. But it's hard to screw up a potato.
Prices overall are reasonable for the area. But for the meal we just had...I fell like we overpayed for mediocrity.
