Bacio - Italian Near Me - Cross River, New York

A delightful spot in what used to be a fairly quiet part of lower Westchester. Service was quick and polite, and the food delicious. The artichoke with cannellini beans is a dish I could eat several times a week. The bean sauce complimented the grilled vegetable perfectly. The trout was light and well seasoned, and not a morsel was left in the bowl of fruta de mer. For those local or visiting the area, a meal here is worth the trip. read more

Amazing! This Sunday special was just like my mom used to make. Can't wait to go back.

Antonio always takes care of his customers. We always do catering from Bacio and we love it. The best part is fresh bread that tastes home made. read more

Had our Anniversary dinner here the other night. Was disappointed with the fresh pasta and the gravy was a bit on the bitter side. Hoping it was an off night as this evening pales by comparison to others. Service was phenomenal read more

I used to come here all the time before COVID, and I had the pleasure of going back this week. I was pleased to see that the restaurant had undergone some renos. It looks wonderful! My party of 4 was seated immediately in a comfy spot near the warm fireplace. Service was great throughout the whole meal. Several servers continued to check in on us throughout our time at the restaurant, and they were kind and respectful. I ordered the Fettuccine alla Bacio, which was very tasty! Portions are sizable, too. I'll be back! read more

This used to be my family's go-to restaurant when I was younger! Since then, it has undergone a beautiful renovation that expanded the restaurant. I ate dinner at Bacio recently but didn't take any pictures because the food was so good that we ate it before anyone could take out their phone! We ordered the Garganelli allo Zafferano (creamy and flavorful. Definitely a must-try), the Fettuccine alla Bacio (packed with seafood! I feel like restaurants usually skimp out on this part, but there was a ton of shrimp!), and the Chicken Cacciatore on the Bone (this was on the "specials" menu). Everything was delicious! The service was also impeccable. The staff were very attentive and gave excellent food recommendations. The restaurant also has a beautiful fireplace that kept us nice and warm during the meal. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area! read more

I absolutely loved my *homemade* (whatever 'homemade' might mean in a restaurant) 'Ravioli in Fresh Tomato Sauce with Basil'. Loved. It. (Did I mention I loved it?) Staff were reservedly gracious and tuned to our party's situation -- former work buddies separated by the retirement of one, and with our respective significant others -- doing our best to keep the camaraderie flowing. * my Ravioli -- generous portion, and basil so fresh it was still breathing . . . I made a 'scarpeta' with the fresh, warm bread to soak up the overflow sauce. I am still pinching myself to determine whether I was asleep and dreaming . . . . * my date's dish -- a saffron-based sauce over a 'home-made' (again, whatever that means) multi-syllable macaroni I'd never heard of . . . I think there was prosciutto in the mix too . . . It was clear by her blush she was transported to euphoria . . . . * my Work Homie loved his fragrant, bespoke Risotto . . . And, (speaking as a visual professional) the risotto was beautiful . . . glistening silvery grains of perfectly seasoned Arborio rice (WHY DIDN'T I ORDER THIS!!!) *W*H*Y*??? * Work Homie's chic Date: broccoli rabe-centric pasta; it was -- evidently -- sublime. She was glowing in joy, savoring every sub-molecule . . . . That our meals were *Heavenly* was the prime success factor. Minimalist interior, understated . . . We chose simply: excellent tap water was refreshing; each of our requests were better than as described on the menu (and PERFECT), and delivered to our table all together at the same moment, (and all same price, making dividing the bill So Easy). I loved the background music (wee hours jazz piano), and the unpretentious (yet luxe) decor and overall vibe. Please don't tell anyone about BaCio. Ciao. read more

Went there on a Friday after Thanksgiving without rez and the place was popping. The place was very welcoming and the atmosphere was very friendly, warm and chic and well-designed inside . We decided to sit at the bar, what was a pleasant experience - Yolanda is very knowledgeable and no nonsense woman and very friendly and personable, she runs the bar and carry out. Food was flying out the door. I had the NY strip which was cook to perfection, per my request and my partner had gnocchi which was amazing. I almost left out the best part of all! We ordered an appetizer and we were delighted with 3 homemade large size meatballs. We also asked for ricotta cheese dolloped on the side. I'll end with that they were very close to what I have every Sunday so they hit a home run with me! I will definitely return to this gem. read more

Hiked at nearby Ward Pound Ridge in 34 degrees and needed some hearty, winter dinner and this, my friends, is the spot. Got the Sunday dinner "at Grandma's" dish that was pasta pomodoro with ribs, sausage, and meatballs and it was extraordinary. The sausage and meatballs, especially, were so perfect and flavorful. Also got the cannelloni, which is super creamy and comforting, but the Sunday dinner is tops. The side salad that comes with it is even great. 5 stars!!!! read more

Nice spot with plenty of tables, good food and great service. We found the items (calamari, lasagna, salmon) to be good but not great. The calamari and lasagna were a bit plain and would benefit from some attention to seasoning. The salmon was good but the consensus was similar that it could have used some different seasonings. Not a bad option for a good meal. read more

This is a romantic restaurant, Yolanda our waitress was extremely kind and efficient. I recommend Lemon sorbet for dessert. read more

The food here is so delicious. The calamari and the fried zucchini was out of this world. They make their pastas fresh in house. The service was really good the wait staff was very nice. It was amazing what they did with this place I was at this restaurant as a kid when it was a diner. The decor was simple yet elegant. My family loves this place they go often it was my first time. I will definitely be back again. read more

Delicious! I had dinner here recently and was excited to see how many different kinds of homemade pasta dishes they had to offer. It's been a while since I have indulged in homemade pasta, so I jumped in and had the penne with calamari, mussels, clams and shrimp. This delightful dish was served with a light marinara sauce. I might have been humming while I was eating. Yes....it was a work dinner. So, what. Take me as I am. My dining companion ordered the beet salad and a wonderful pasta dish (homemade, of course) with a light cream sauce and prosciutto. He loved it. We shared some of that beet salad and it was excellent - creamy, crunchy, salty and a bit sweet. Bread basket with olive oil? Sadly, I can't help myself. I wolfed down a couple of pieces of those crusty slices with perfectly delicious olive oil. I've driven by this place so many times over the years and never noticed it. I plan to bring my work husband here next time we're in the area. read more

Absolutely love this place. The food is consistently excellent, the staff attentive without being obsequious and the owner/manager seems to be everywhere at once. It's my guess that that's why it always so good. And it's comfortable and homey in a very nice way as well. read more

Food, Service and Ambiance were exceptional. This restaurant is underrated! Very professional service plus all the food is so well done read more

My new favorite restaurant. I think that was the best piece of trout I've ever had. Great service. Nice, unfussy atmosphere. Fantastic food. Can't wait to go back. read more

Went to Bacio for the first time, in a group of 8 on a weekday night. It was crowded at 630pm when we arrived but by 8 it was quiet. The appetizers we ordered, (fig, antipasto and beets), were good. Main courses included rigatoni broccoli rabe and sausage, a boar sausage special and fusilli with eggplant. Everyone said they enjoyed their meal. Desserts and coffees were standard and the prices were reasonable. read more

food was awful, greasy lasagna with no ricotta. the lamb special tasted like cheap marinated pork tenderloin!

The atmosphere was wonderful and the food was delicious. My wife and I look forward to going back.

Great food! Great Staff!! What else do you need? My husband had pork loin, I had rigatoni with sausage and broccoli rabe. Both dishes were great, the wine was great, and the weight staff is absolutely special. read more

Had dinner here tonight. My only complaint is parking. The wonderful ambiance, food, drinks and service draws quite a crowd so parking was tricky. My party of 3 was still seated immediately at the bar. Everything was such a delight. Will definitely be back again! read more

Bacio - Italian Near Me - Cross River, New York

I love Bacio! Every time I eat here I feel so well cared for, from the scrumptious food to the warm and wonderful service. I tend to order off the specials menu, as it is thoughtful and reflective of the season. I love A restaurant where you can dress either up or down and both are equally appropriate. In short, a perfect neighborhood spot! read more

Very good food and service Prompt attention given to out going orderes. Pleasant atmosphere read more

Another great dinner! The best Italian restaurant and bar in the area. Service is very good both at the bar and while dining at our table. The owner came over and gave us a shot of delicious house-made lemoncello which was much appreciated and a nice touch. To start, the bread served at the table was ridiculously delicious ... maybe the best bread I've eaten all year (it's November). The olive oil was the deepest green I've ever seen, and the stuffed artichoke brought me back to my grandmothers kitchen! So great. The best part for me was "Sunday Dinner at Grandma's" - it consists of 2 meatballs, pork braciole and Italian sausage in "gravy" (spaghetti sauce). It comes with ziti, but I special ordered it with linguine instead. Spot on, what I grew up on and DELICIOUS. They also offer black squid ink pasta and an assortment of other pasta dishes, as well as salads, entree and desserts. This is a soup to nuts experience and a wonderful way to spend an entire evening. read more

Reliable, consistent and delicious local restaurant. Never disappointed. Frequent it plenty.

This is a solid Italian restaurant tacked away in bucolic Cross River. Delicious red sauce, excellent home made pasta, respectable wine list and attentive, familial service. Prices are very reasonable in this crazy unreasonable times. We spent $350 before taxes and tip for 6 people ordering primi, secondi and the appetizers, a bottle and two glasses of wine and a drink . I rarely do this but I am going for 5 stars. read more

The service was good, and everyone was very nice. The outdoor seating was very lovely and perfect temperature. The food was incredible. All the food tasted so authentic and good. The sausage crepe could have had somthing else added to it like spinach or something but over it was good! read more

Food always is delicious though portions have gotten smaller in last 2 years. Service is always impeccable, extremely nice and prompt with any needs. Sadly, I wish the building was larger so it could accommodates more seats and larger outside seating area. Yeah I sure they know this and have to work with the limitations of their property. read more

Best Neighborhood Restaurant... you are always treated to great food and very friendly service our families favorite!

Im giving it 3 stars because the waiter wasn't pleasant. He made us feel uncomfortable. He was short, didn't smile, wasn't welcoming, etc.... It was as if he didn't want to be there or we bothered him and it showed. The busser who filled our glasses with water and brought us bread was much nicer and knew more about the Menu than the actual Waiter. Maybe they should switch titles. (Dude if you hate your job that much maybe you should quit) Went here on Sunday around 1:30 from NYC for lunch, 6/01/2018. The place was very clean, atmosphere was quiet which we both needed. We ordered the Antipasti which was a great choice. We then opted for the Pasta with Mushroom w/ Spinach and Shrimp. That was amazing, however, we also ordered the Frutti De Mare and that was Mediocre. They used large rigatoni which became overbearing so the seafood was over shadowed. The dish had a bunch of calamari and not enough of anything else. It was basically rigatoni with calamari. The sauce on both dishes were exceptional. When we asked for the dessert Menu the "RUDE WAITER" didn't bother getting it for us and said "he knew everything from the top of his head." I said Oh ok, however, the way he said it was rushed and didn't leave any room for imagination, we therefore didn't order any. My Husband had the Cappuccino and asked for the bill. As we were waiting for our tab the table right next to us asked to see the dessert menu and the waiter brought it to them no problem. Let me just add that I travel often to these neck of the Woods. I highly doubt I'll be returning here. I'll be sure to tell my friends and family about my experience. Ps. Although our experience here sucked we managed to change our perspective and continued have an amazing Sunday thereafter. read more

Walked in and were promptly seated on a busy Friday evening. The drinks were strong and wine list delicious. They offered whole wheat and gluten free pasta which I greatly appreciated. Went with whole wheat penne and their meatballs. The sauce was delicious and meatballs all I could have hoped for and more! Most the staff are Italians too so gives a fun European vibe inside. Went with a group of 4 for a double date and everyone else loved their dishes that we were all sharing with one another. Highly recommend for a well prepared and designed meal. read more

Had a terrific dinner there with friends - great menu- my husband was thrilled to see swordfish on the menu and it was cooked perfectly.

I've been there twice this Summer. The menu is small however, quality ingredients make quality cuisine. Servers are welcoming and efficient. The owner seems very cordial and involved with customers as well. Two thumbs up! read more

The service here is almost non-existent, even when there are few patrons. The food is alright but not good enough to have you returning soon. It could be better with an additional waiter and more attention to details. The menu is interesting, however, and there is something for everyone. read more
