Great food. Rich and yummy. A nice relief from chain restaurants. 3 of us were all very happy with our dishes.

I can not believe some of the bad reviews this place has gotten on YELP. Snotty people sending wine back and saying that " I'm sorry but I've traveled Europe and drank many wines...." Go away. This place is incredibly priced Italiano comfort food with nothing fancy wines. If you go into a place like this thinking you are going fine dining you are a moron. I order the Chicken Marsala EVERYTIME and it is as good and as consistent as it gets. Great big portion and sooooooo good. Best part.... its fricken $7.95! I am not one to go to places based on price. I have no problem paying top dollar for great food, but this is just unreal for it's price. I would easily pay $20 in the North End for this and it wouldn't be half as good. Oh and the people working their are blue collar, down to earth, friendly folk. Heavy Boston accents and all. Gotta love the Northshore! Good food, good people, and good prices. I am just appalled that this place is 3/5 stars on YELP. It is EASILY a 4/5 star place if not better... read more

I went to baccis this past Friday and sat in a booth. The food was amazing. Although not very professional, i don't understand how they run the restaurant. I watched my waitress go up to the bar to pick up drinks, as she was waiting she reached over to a customer who was sitting at the bar and sipped her martini. I thought it was pretty tacky and unprofessional. read more

Nice mom and pop type italian restaurant. Small bar, but great drinks. I've gotten the chicken piccata, grilled pork chops w/vinegar peppers w/ roasted potatoes, cooked perfectly, and their pizza is very good as well. Waitresses work hard, but there is one I dread getting, always scattered, loud, and I have yet to not get something messed up. Granted, it's not life or death, but ...... read more

The food was great, but I'm pretty sure our waitress had a problem with me and my gf being an interracial couple. She was cold and distant towards us while be chatty and very friendly to everyone else on the restaurant. We definitely got a your not really welcome here Vibe from her. read more

Wonderful place!! Stopped for lunch, did not disappoint!! Eggplant parm sub was fantastic, salad with chicken very tasty. Big portions, great price and even better taste! Staff very friendly and accommodating. Will be back! read more

Yah, we like it. - So driving down Main Street wondering the age-old question, "Where do we eat?" we said "Why not Bacci's??". It was that type of night. - Bacci's is on a busy corner right on Main Street in Stoneham. It doesn't look like much from outside - and after years and years of driving by it without a second thought, we finally made the move to check it out. - It's not bad! A casual vibe inside. 2 rooms: The first as you walk in has a row of booths up against the windows, a small curvy goofy looking bar to your left, and some tables and chairs further down on the left. Through this main room is another - and it's just tables and chairs - very bright in there - it was really weird. Anyhow - the decor is cheap - not BAD just certainly not a place you need to dress up to go to. The chairs all look like the kind you'd see in a pizza joint or something. There were these totally out of place decorations hanging from the ceiling: like flowers or fairy wings. I couldn't figure it out! - Well, they had the standard big screen tvs hanging with the game on, and so we got a booth by the window and ordered. These booths are right up against the window - you are literally several feet from passing cars - and cars stopping at the light outside. I thought it would be noiser, but it wasn't bad. And the shades were drawn so that the people sitting right outside the window aren't glaring at you as you eat. Thankfully. - We got some of their mixed drinks - a "Smurf" and some other kind - I can't remember and it's not listed on their menu online. Anyhow - we both really liked them. The Smurf drink looked like some kinda star-trek thing, and so of course I loved it. It was really good too! The other was what - a white russian type thing? The dame liked that too. - The free bread is amazing. It's this fresh white bread toasted with garlic and oregano and literally swimming in butter. Kind of gross and greasy, but also kind of AWESOME. - We got the "Joey's Garlic Bread" as an app - cause hey, we like bread! It's 6 giant slices of that awesome bread with slices of tomatos and cheese and spices. That in itself would be a nice meal. - Eggplant Parm: We split it. I don't even like eggplant but this was really good. I didn't care for the lukewarm pasta though. And it didn't come with enough sauce. But the baked cheesy eggplant thing was really nice. - So overall, not a fancy place, but the food and drinks are solid. If you're looking for a casual place to get some all right food and watch a game - this place fits the bill. read more

Great food with a fun atmosphere. Lots of locals eat here. The fried calamari was especially tasty!

Fantastic pizza, cranky waitress. She acted as though it was a huge inconvenience that we were there. How date we want to eat in their restaurant. read more

Stoneham is a small town, but with no less than 10 pizza joints within a mile, competition is fierce! I have eaten here several times and the food and service have never disappointed me. The garlic bread that comes with the meal is disgustingly excellent (literally dripping in butter, but so good!) I have always found their menu a great value. What I want to talk about today is their pizza. Pizza is a very touchy subject. Peoples tastes very from house to house, and everybody likes it a bit different. I am native to Northern CT, where the pizza tends to be heavy with an airy crust. In the Boston area, thin crust is predominant and it took some time for me to get used to this. Whenever in the mood for pizza I would purposely order from a new place each time. For me, what makes a pizza is the sauce. If I don't like the sauce, I won't like the pizza...cheese and toppings are secondary. When we moved to Stoneham I noticed a sign that offered a large cheese pizza for $6.95. $6.95? I'll try anything for $6.95! (Mon-Wed only) My first bite of that cheese pizza told me I had made a great decision! I have since ordered pizza's with toppings and I have never had a pizza there I didn't love. I do not award four stars lightly, but for a neighborhood pizza place with a modest dining room that offers relatively quick service and a great value...I am a fan! read more

I have been a customer of Bacci's for well over 15 years (in fact we knew the previous owners), we always enjoyed our lunch and dinners with family & friends over the years, prices, portions and food was always amazing however what I experienced while having lunch on Monday (9/28/2020) is almost indescribable. The one waitress/bartender on duty had an issue with us the moment we walked through the front door due to the fact she didn't like one of our skin colors, so obvious it was hurtful. She was behind the bar, not busy she said how many and then proceeded to point where we should sit, everyone else who came in after us got a huge welcome and was walked to their table which is usually normal when dining out. Then every time she came to the table there was no eye contact and she just dropped everything and walked quickly away. After ordering the other person felt so uncomfortable they wanted to take their food to go and told me that they have never experienced anything like this in their entire life, my heart broke for them. It was an act of god to get her to acknowledge us (though she had to see and hear me as we were close to the bar and the place was pretty empty), I tried for so long that actually a guy in the bar area (where she spent most of the time hanging out with the fellas) had to tell her that I have been trying to get her attention. I told her there was something served to me that was ice cold and she basically questioned me as if I was lying. By the time I got my replacement I had finished my meal. She just dropped the check and ran away. It is so sad that in this unjust time in the world that this type of behavior still exists. I know I will never return to Bacci's and I will make sure I also tell my family and friends not to either. Hope you make people who are working with customers know that all people/races should be treated equally, it's 2020. read more

Food was okay at best! No beer on draft. Ordered a kids burger and they ran out of burgers. I ordered a steak bomb and got a plan steak and cheese. When I let them know they brought me veggies to add to it myself. The Italian sausage sub came with a small sausage. The service was good though. read more

One of my go-to places. Haven't had a meal I didn't love! Eggplant Parm is outstanding.

I ordered the hamburger special and was so impressed with the new chefs style. Huge beef burger and all the fixings. Bar tender and service staff were very friendly. I would return again for the prime rib special. Great place! read more

Bacci's Restaurant - Pound of ground beef with provolone and mushrooms tomatoes lettuce all on a beautiful sesame seed roll. Delicious! - Italian Near Me - Stoneham, Massachusetts

Garlic bread was good. Atmosphere needs attention. Feels like your in a cafeteria ... I got the Fra Diavolo ...drenched in red sauce ... Marginal at best. I guess I'm spoiled with the North End. read more

I go to this restaurant at least twice a month! I have never had a bad meal there!!! The Eggplant Parmigiana is to die for!!! The Chicken Marsala is dripping with delicious Marsala and Mushrooms so your pasta never is dry and the Chicken is cooked to perfection!!! The Shrimp Grand Marnier is out of this world!!! The Garlic Bread is AMAZING!!! All with reasonable prices!!! read more

Nice friendly people and food has been great . I tried about 7 dinners. Route 28 BBQ combo with steaktips , sausage and mashed potatoes is the way to good for a carnivore craving. Got the catering Trays for party one year everyone was happy and food was ready on time and warm . read more

Love this little Italian restaurant! Had twin lobster special and it was great with a great price!

Went there for a dinner out with my guy. The service was great and the garlic bread was out of this world. What ruined our night was the constant "F" bombs as well as the "B" word being dropped at one table from both men and women. Real loud and they would not stop. I think they must be regulars as they kept on going like it was acceptable behavior. Felt bad for elderly people having to hear this. Probably would pass even though the food was good. Stay in your basement if you want to drink and swear all night. read more

Garlic bread was amazing. Salad was wilted and clearly sat in the fridge at least a full day. My pasta dish was very good. My husband was less excited about his ribs. It would have been a nice local find for us, but the service was cold and in attentive. The bar tender was sharp with my husband when he tried to buy a lottery ticket and the machine wasn't working- which is not HIS fault. Our waitress was a bit put out to stop socializing to wait on us. She didn't check on our meals after they came out and mostly sat at the bar talking to regulars. She didn't get us drink refills and clearly wasn't wanting to be there. It was very unprofessional. Friendly service is really the difference in whether or not we would return. I prefer to support family businesses, but I have to say that a big chain restaurant would never have allowed such poor service and sour attitudes. read more

I have been going to Bacci's for a long time despite the rude service at the bar when Maria worked. Tonight, I was disgusted, called in and ordered food, Maria took the order told me 1/2 hour it will be ready. Arrived 45 mins later (giving them the extra time) to get my food and she turned right to my face and said no order was called in, then all of a sudden she forgot to put in the order...so wait did I call the order in and you forgot to put it in or did you not take my order mmm, caught in a lie as well!!! So If your looking for POLITE HONEST service you will NOT find it at BACCI'S on Main St. in Stoneham, Ma. Go spend your money elsewhere and get a smile for your patronage!!! read more

word to the wise...pay cash or keep your card receipt. multiple times now additional tips have been added to my credit card that I've later had to dispute!! read more

We have not a had bad meal there..(Also great portions) Living as close as we do, we go there regularly, but would definitely make the trip regardless.. Great staff and welcoming atmosphere....They also have really made an effort to keep guests safe yet comfortable during Covid... read more

A local's place for sure....huge portions, fresh food, good specials and the give a great pour at the bar....at least 2x per month for a visit read more

Bacci's, what can i say, not a whole lot to look at but the service and food are well above average. I had the calamari and asked for "tentacles", the chef came out said he'd give me the all the "tentacles" and they were delicious! Some of the best calamari I've ever eaten. The stuffed ravioli's were again delicious. Now it was late and I wasn't even that hungry to begin with and the food tasted amazing! I also had the turkey tips which were far better than any I've had before. I just finished off what was left for lunch today and will have to go back there very soon. Prices are fantastic, portions are generous, this place is where you want to go if your hungry. read more

I love Bacci's - It has become my #1 Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. The service is OUTSTANDING. The eggplant parm is fabulous as well as the home made fusilli. I plan to try almost everything on their very large menu. If you are in the mood for steak tips - they are delicious. Great food, great prices and great service. How can you beat that? read more

I must have walked past this place hundreds of times before going in for a pizza with my son. Nice atmosphere, clean, with a window seat overlooking Rt. 28. I was about to ask if he remembered those days hanging out at the Village Green when someone took our order for a large pepperoni. Food was good, a little sweet for the pizza, but was fine for the day. There's a small bar up front near the entrance, I usually grab a Coke while waiting for a pickup. read more

I'm glad to see that there are other postings similar to my opinion. I have really wanted to like this place. I personally have had a few tasty meals (pasta and pizza) there. My first real complaint is that the service has always been really poor. It is not that the waitstaff is rude, just seeminly uninterested in satisfying me as a customer. Salads never appear, orders are wrong, I'm never checked on for follow-up, drinks run dry, etc. My second complain may seem minor to some, but not to me... That place is FREEZING in the winter. We are always two to dine, so NEVER get a seat in the room in back. We have to sit in the tiny bar area with the front door. There is no partition of any kind to cut the cold as it spills through the door with constant traffic. Result: I am freezing and so is the food as soon as it hits the table. Really guys, please do something about the configuration and overall eating experience, and I might return. Until then, I will go just down the street to Gaetano's. Sorry. read more

I drove by this place many times not knowing what a hidden gem it is. Great Italian food, large portions and friendly service. I got the special which was swordfish over pasta and the swordfish was fresh, perfectly cooked and so huge I had it for lunch the next day. I have tried the steak tips and lamb tips which are also delicious! read more

Great food and people always friendly. Got pizza to go the other day and they were fantastic. Will be our go to place for sure. Just a note: Here on YELP it says they are closed on Sunday.... THEY ARE OPEN ON SUNDAY. read more

I am a bit surprised to read these reviews. This is one of our favorites in Stoneham (and believe me there are lots of choices for Italian food here). We have always had very good service. The bread is amazing. Love the calamari and the ravioli app. Joey's chicken is the best -- sometimes on the specials but if it isn't you can just ask and they will make it. More than enough for another meal the next day. I must say though that I only like sitting in a booth - I don't like the back room. You are right in the traffic for the bathroom and the tables are a bit crowded. Oh, and we have discovered some great wine here -- the ones they have as their monthly specials have become our favorites for at home. read more

Me and my mom and her friend just had dinner at the restaurant tonight I have to say the hostess was very nice to us tonight! Thank you! The waitress on the other hand was a very mean and cruel person she treated us with no respect and when I ask for something she gave s dirty look at us like it was a task to help us! Maybe she was having a bad day but you have to treat your customers good no matter what! Pasta sauce was very bland and also your meatballs had no flavor being a chef myself for many years but not any longer I know about these things I have a culinary arts degree believe it or not.I hope that you will talk to the waitress and reprimand her so she treat people with respect and treat them nicely and work on your recipes I'm sure I would've something else it would've been pretty yummy maybe you should also make your homemade desserts and send ordering them from someone else when I asked the waitress if you Tara Massoud was homemade she said no. I probably will not be back here me my mother or her friend maybe others won't come unless you change some things. Don't take this the wrong way but these things are important in the restaurant business good luck read more

Good quality Italian food, very close knit community the type of place where everyone knows your name! The lemoncello is a must have and the bread and oil is great. read more

Stopped at Bacci's before a show at the Greater Boston Stage Company. From being greeted at the door to the service by Lisa, the entire experience was great. Ordered the chicken parm, which was huge. Great flavor and the pasta cooked to perfection. We also ordered the chicken and rice soup which was very good. Looking forward to coming back to Bacci's. read more

Very dissapointed :( was looking forward to checking this place out per many recommendations. perhaps I ordered the wrong things. Ravs not good and I asked if they where homemade ( they said yes) they couldnt have been they were worst then the frozen ones ive had. And I know homemade! the meatballs were disgusting the stuffed quhogs( my friends recommendation) were decent. I will give it one more chance and will order something different. read more

Ok, so there are A LOT of Italian places in Stoneham... in fact it's about the only type of food you can get. My girlfriend and I were looking for something warm and delicious with a big glass of wine one cold and wet weeknight. As we are still fairly recent immigrants to the area, we decided to check out the place around the corner. It was a winning decision. The food was good and incredibly well priced! The sizes of the appetizers alone made me feel like I had come to the right place. We split the ravioli appetizer along with some fried calamari and an order of mussels in spicey red sauce.... and we still left with enough to feed us the next night. Sauce was the right amount of spice, calamari was the right amount of fried and the ravioli in a butter wine sauce was delish. To top it all off, a basket of fresh garlic bread arrived. PURE HEAVEN; and this is coming from someone who isn't a huge Italian fan. All in all three apps, two nice sized glasses of wine, a tip, and a warm place to hide from the winter= $45. All in all, a great choice OH, also, the bartender was very friendly without being over the top! read more

I've been their 2 times in the last few weeks chicken palm was wonderful. Get the chocolate raspberry martini Wow is all I can say. Very reasonably priced 6 with drinks and apps under 200 . read more
