    Calamari Fritti
    Bry N.

    Yoooooooooooooooo! This spot is modestly fire I probably order takeout from here like once or twice a month whenever I'm craving that old school Italian comfort food type vibe. I'm not gonna lie though... it is kinda pricey for pasta but the recipes really remind me of grandma cooking -- super traditional, hearty, old-school Italian style. Nothing wrong with that at all, it's just personally I'm more of a pink sauce, creamy vodka sauce kinda guy these days Usually my go-to order is the Chef's Special rigatoni with sausage and mushrooms in that porcini sauce That dish never really misses for me. I also ALWAYS gotta get the breaded lamb chops with the peppercorn sauce because those are honestly one of the best things on the menu in my opinion. Crispy outside, juicy inside, sauce goes crazy This time though I decided to switch it up and tried the Linguine Sarno. It was good overall, seafood was solid, pasta cooked right, but I honestly wish it had more spice to it I kept waiting for a little kick that never fully came. Still decent though if you like lighter seafood pasta flavors. Also quick warning about the calamari because I learned the hard way last time make sure you finish it the SAME day. Once it sits overnight it turns super hard and chewy. Even tossing it in the air fryer the next day couldn't save it lol. One thing I will say is the service can be a little slower than expected sometimes. I usually call my order in like an hour ahead before getting off work, and this time when I got there it still wasn't ready yet But to be fair, the staff has always been really friendly, professional, and respectful every time I come through, so it kinda balances out. Ambiance is pretty much your standard quiet Italian restaurant vibes Nothing super modern or trendy, no loud music, just calm, chill, old-school dinner atmosphere where everybody's just there to eat good pasta and mind their business Overall still a solid comfort food spot when you're in the mood for classic Italian flavors

    We visited on a Saturday with a 6:00 PM reservation for six and were seated immediately. We shared three appetizers and three pasta dishes; while the portions were a bit more modest than expected, they were certainly sufficient. Every dish was packed with flavor, and the handmade quality of the pasta really stood out. To top it off, the desserts were exceptional and the service was attentive throughout the evening. The restaurant itself is charming and cozy with simple, tasteful decor and a wonderful atmosphere. It's a fantastic find for anyone looking to support a small, family-owned gem.

    I was craving lasagna, so a quick Yelp search led me here. The moment I walked in, the restaurant gave off an upscale vibe--maybe it was the tablecloths, the wine racks, or the waitstaff in uniform, but it immediately felt like a nice place to settle in. It was a late night, so we didn't want to eat too much. We asked to split the lasagna, and it ended up being the perfect portion for two. The lasagna itself was meaty, rich, and really satisfying. We also ordered the garlic cheese bread. It wasn't as crunchy as we had hoped at first, but the staff was more than happy to remake it for us, which we really appreciated. It definitely tasted better after. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience with good food and attentive service. We'll definitely be back.

    10/10 Pesto Pasta - I built my own pesto dish and it was out of this world! Honestly, one of the best pastas I've had in town, and that says a lot because I'm super picky when it comes to pasta. The sauce was rich, flavorful, and they were generous with it too. Absolute perfection! 6/10 Bread Basket- It's nothing to rave about. The bread wasn't even toasted, it was plain and just served with vinegar and oil. Definitely underwhelming. I won't be ordering this again, but I'm open to trying a different appetizer next time. 10/10 Tiramisu - Holy freaking cow this is the best tiramisu I've ever tasted in my whole entire life!!!! I'm planning to come back just for this delicious dessert. Cost- Pesto Pasta $24.95, Bread Basket $3.95. Everything is before tax and tip.

    2/28/26 Baci Italian Restaurant Anaheim, CA... My family came here tonight and had a lovely dinner! The service was good. It took a little longer to get the food, but you need to wait longer for better experience. The restaurant was clean, small, and cozy. We dined in their patio which was still enclosed. My younger daughter ordered the lobster Ravioli. I ordered the lasagna. We shared a garlic cheese bread which came with a marina dipping sauce. My grandkids shared a Chicken tenders and fries. My older daughter and her husband shared regular bread and a seafood pasta. All was so good! Glad we came here!!!

    Baci Di Firenze in Anaheim Hills is an outstanding, cozy hidden gem that delivers a truly memorable Italian dining experience worth the drive. The exceptionally friendly and helpful wait staff provides excellent recommendations and attentive service in a warm, welcoming environment. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, featuring perfectly cooked, tender pasta, vibrant sauces with a delightful balance of flavor, and exceptionally fresh seafood.

    What a hidden gem! The dishes were cooked to order and tasted fresh! My hubby approved of the chicken Parmesan. I had the spinach pasta with the seafood in light wine sauce. I loved the fresh pasta but the dish itself was on the lighter side with a lack of flavor but the seafood in it was great. I'd love to try some other dishes though. I loved the Caesar salad they have.

    This place is amazing. Let me get the downsize out the way, there are no traditional cocktails available, mostly wine and beer. Now, back to the deliciousness. Baci is a warm and welcoming restaurant serving authentic Italian dishes. A small cozy spot, the owner is good people, always stops by our table whenever around. Some of the best food items I enjoy most is the bruschetta, lobster bisque, bolognese and tiramisu. Plenty of free parking in front.

    We felt like Italian food and had never tried this Italian restaurant that is 5 min from our house...so we went to Baci! So happy we did. Definitely a hidden gem. The interior is very dated. I'm not sure if this restaurant has ever been updated. But the delicious straightforward food and the stellar warm customer service makes up for the decor. Tell Jose I say "hi"! lol

    The Blind Rabbit has been on my Yelp to-do list for a few years now, and I finally made it happen…read more I love a good speakeasy, but so many places claim the title and miss the mark. This one absolutely nailed it. Reservations are required, and they're usually booked up, so I'd missed my chance in the past by remembering too late. This time I was on a solo trip and managed to snag a spot by booking early in the morning. It happened to be the last night of their Great Gatsby theme, and they executed it perfectly, from the details to the overall atmosphere. I love that they rotate themes instead of sticking with the same setup every time; it keeps things exciting and gives people a reason to keep coming back. The drinks and food were both top-notch. Every single person I interacted with- bartenders, servers, and hosts- was amazing, super friendly, and helpful. Can't wait to go back and see what the next theme brings.

    September is SepTiki month at the Blind Rabbit. The interior has been decorated tiki style, and…read morethere is a new specialty cocktail menu with eight new tiki inspired drinks. We visited a few times in recent weeks to try out some of the new drinks. El Quetzal (Illegal Caribbean cask mezcal, yellow Chartreuse, Campari, lime, pineapple, cane, cardamom). This is a variation of a Junglebird, and has a nice smokiness with light bitterness. It's an easy drinker, and is served in a tiki mug with a lit sugar cube. 3 Rabbits & a Dash (Blind Rabbit Garrison Brothers single barrel bourbon, Kuleana Nanea rum, falernum, allspice, honey, orange, lime). It drinks a little boozy from the bourbon, and is complemented by nice spice notes. Let the Man'Go (Patron 100 tequila, bitter Bianca, mango, rice, lemon). I love drinks with a foam top, and even though it didn't say it on the menu, it was obvious after one sip that the foam was infused with toasted rice. Good balanced cocktail with light mango flavor and rice notes. Velvet Samba (guava, cachaca, Patron 100 tequila, lime, condensed milk). Unique milky looking cocktail. It's guava and lime forward, balanced, and has a little creamy mouthfeel from the condensed milk. Clarified Ango-Lada (Blind Rabbit single barrel Sagamore rye, Angostura bitters, coconut, pineapple, lime). It's served with a nutmeg sprinkle on top. The rye is toned way down from clarification, and it's a smooth drinker. The Cocktail of Week I believe was a type of zombie. I forgot to write down the ingredients but I believe some of them were rum, vodka, raspberry, and lemon. It is served in their zombie mug with a lit cinnamon stick and was good. Dreamwave (Empress gin, barrel aged Curacao, sherry lychee, lemon). I think this was my favorite. It has a nice tart flavor, not boozy at all and balanced. I was sitting at the bar where my drink was being made, and when the Li Hing Hui powder was sprinkled on top, it had a really nice sweet, almost vanilla-ish aroma. I asked bartender Adrian to make me a Captain's Reserve (bartenders own creation) using rum as the main spirit. He made an amazing cocktail with rum, scotch, passion fruit, and some other ingredients I forgot to jot down. It was lush and perfectly balanced with multiple layers of flavor. I hope he remembers that recipe, it was one of the best drinks I've ever had. Adrian, Ruben, and Sergio all provided great service and conversation, and they make some excellent drinks. Hosts Anna and Emma always give a warm welcome and were very friendly. There's only a few weeks left of SepTiki, so visit soon if you're interested in these drinks. Their Halloween theme will be starting in early October.

Today we picked up a jar of giardiniera, pepperoncini, a sourdough boule, rosemary crackers, Italian cookies, and even a cool tee shirt. It gets pretty crowded on the Saturday. Parking lot may fill up, if you are lucky there will never some parking on Orange Avenue. I definitely prefer visiting on weekdays but when you need your cannolis, you just go! Glad we did, for sure! Well if you need anything Italian, highly likely you will find it here. The deli is amazing. The wine selection is complete. Olive oil of all kinds. Baked goods will impress.

Their deli section got plenty of great selection of meats & cheeses. And their bakery part also got plenty of pastries and well know Italian cookies and individual cakes. Staff are great and friendly plus knowledgeable of what they're selling. I ended up buying several items instead of one or two. Definitely a place to go for good quality Italian ingredients to cook at home. As for the Pizza place, we got 2 types of sandwiches and lasagna. The Italian sandwich was just okey, the bread was not quite a right type for it. Just chewy outside and abit blanch of the filling. The meatballs sandwich is quite delightful, good amount of sauce and big meatball and go nicely with the sandwich. The lasagna was good but abit under seasoning, abit watering and it could used more meats. Overall it was okey place for a quick bites and easy to take away. Parking can be hectic and abit out of control since folks don't know what to do since people coming in and block cars that need to go out...another word. It's a small parking lot for In&Out. It was easy when I got there at 10:30am and the parking lot was pretty much empty (since market open early then their pizza side). When leave I have to wait for 5mins in order to get the car out since there are cars waiting right infront of my car and there are car infront and behind. There is a parking lot right across and street parking too, and I think it would be much easier then park in their lot during their busy times.

Well, fast forward to this year...and HE was the one who suggested we finally give it a try! We are SO glad we listened to him! The pizza here reminds me of the kind of pizza I would eat in Italy. It tastes authentic, flavorful, and beautifully simple. If you're looking for a traditional thick-crust pizza where you pile on whatever toppings you want, this probably isn't the place for you. But hear me out...TRUST THE MENU! Order what jumps out at you and let the ingredients speak for themselves. We've tried the Contadina, Funghi e Salsiccia, and Rocco's Pie, and every single one was delicious. But hands down, the Vespa is the STAR OF THE SHOW! And then there's the homemade spicy honey. OH.MY.GOODNESS. It is SOOO good that we now order a side of it just so we can dip our other pizzas into it. Trust me...you need it! We're kicking ourselves for waiting so long to come here, but I guess better late than never!

It felt like he was forced to cook exactly how the owners want it. Generic bland Italian food. Overall if you and your loved ones are craving Italian, I'd look elsewhere. Olive Garden provides far better food and atmosphere.

    Such a beautiful and delicious spread!…read more The pizza was the highlight -- perfectly baked with a golden, airy crust, lots of melted cheese, and fresh arugula on top. It looked rustic and tasted fresh rather than heavy. The burrata with colorful tomatoes was creamy, refreshing, and beautifully balanced. The tomatoes were sweet and juicy, and the fresh basil made the whole dish feel light and summery. The appetizer underneath the pizza was also really tasty -- crispy bites with plenty of freshly grated cheese on top. Everything felt thoughtfully presented and made for sharing. Even the drink was refreshing and paired really well with the meal. Overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, beautifully plated, and perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner.

    My 6th time at Ini - I would say that the ambiance and service has always been amazing. As for food…read morewise, I personally think it is a bit too salty for me even when I asked the dishes to be made less salty. I tried all the pasta options on the menu. My favorite would be Squid Ink Uni and Crab Spaghetti (less salty compared to other flavors) Appetizers: salmon crudo, Calamari, Cauliflower Pizza: highly recommended seafood poke and Mala Lamb. Entree: Scallop, Short ribs and Ribeye are good options. I didn't think Branzino, Chicken or Pork Tomahawk were as special as I hope for.

    We came here for a drag brunch which was outstanding!…read more Food and drinks here are good. You do have to sometimes wait a bit for service but it was pretty busy at the time that we went.

    OC girls with pretty heels, beware of the patio! I wish I were joking. I was having dinner in the…read moreoutdoor patio when my heel got lodged in the heavy metal grating beneath our table. It was stuck badly enough that the manager had to come over and repeatedly work my heel back and forth to get it out, which left the patent leather visibly dented and damaged. What bothered me more than my damaged heel was what happened next. I was asked to fill out an incident report at the table, during dinner, but we were never moved from the area. Nothing was adjusted on our bill and we were simply left at the same table. Sure enough, when I stood up later to go to the ladies room, my heel went into the grate AGAIN. This time I lost my balance and nearly fell. Thankfully, I caught myself. The first time was an accident. The second time was frustrating because they already knew exactly what had happened and how easily a heel could get caught there. Moving us to another table would have prevented it. The manager was kind and empathetic, and I want to be fair about that. My disappointment is with how the situation was handled after the problem was known. So ladies, if you're dining on the patio in heels, watch where you step.
