Cappuccino and espresso to end the meal is a must.

Kudos to Mama's Cafe Baci!!

The place was in far flung Jefferson Township…read more Never been there but the drive was pleasant on a weekend, getting there was a winding vista of woods and lake then the clearing... Portofino. There is ample parking and it was packed that afternoon. I was met by the friendliest staff. One in particular was wearing a chef's uniform who was dashingly handsome. The entire place's ambiance is classy, warm and cozy, busy with locals who knows each other Riesling was good. The Bruschetta was delicately flavored and fresh. I'm not usually crazy with it but this has been the best I've ever tasted...so far. Lobster ravioli was phenomenal. Nuanced flavor (definitely not store bought) perfectly balanced ingredients that meld in to one delectable tasting meal. The pièce de résistance was dessert- Almond cake. Light as air. Not too sweet, just heavenly cloud like consistency that melts in your mouth. I'm definitely going back and take that 50mile drive over again. Oh yeah! I was totally enthralled by my company as well.

I came back here for another party. I did have some different foods. Once again, the service was…read moretop-notch and friendly. We were served bruschetta first. I had this on a prior visit, and it was better. The bread was too soft and did not hold up well with the actual bruschetta, which was tasty once again, tons of freshness. The antipasto had fresh meats and cheeses, which were appetizing. I also tried the clams, mussels, stuffed mushrooms, and calamari. The clams and mussels appeared fresh and were pleasant while the stuffed mushrooms were small but packed with flavor. I am not usually a fan of them, but I really enjoyed these. The calamari was solid too, nice breading to fish ratio on most of them. The second course was penne vodka (similar thoughts from prior review apply). The next course was the house salad, which was better than I remember. For my main course this time, I had the salmon in a white wine garlic sauce with some vegetables. The salmon was a good-sized portion with plenty of the sauce. The sauce was a good balance and paired well with the appropriately sized salmon. For dessert, there was a white cake with a strawberry filling. They provided the cake, but not sure where it came from. It was not bad. The cake and strawberry filling was good, but the frosting as well as the icing was too sweet and had too thick of a layer.

Really disappointed - taking a break from this place.

Soooooo good but it's not always available (so check before you go!). For dinner, I had the Veal Saltimboca alla Romano - perfectly thin and cooked and the cheese was deliciously melty (served with mashed potatoes and spinach with artichoke hearts). Hubby had the Chicken Gardina - wonderfully thin and fried to perfection. For desert, we had the Tartufo - obviously :)

The ambiance is what people may perceive Italy to look like but it's surely doesn't look like that…read moreand in today's world it comes off as dated. The food was less than mediocre. Everything from the bruschetta, to the Cesar salad, to the Rigatoni ala Vodka had so much cheese and not a great tasting cheese. It wasn't Parmesan nor Pecorino but maybe Kraft from the can? IDK it just left a very unpleasant taste in my mouth. And the meatballs - once I taste grizzle I'm done they were definitely frozen not made fresh. The service was less than in so many ways. It felt as though we were bothering the entire staff by being there. For the price it should've been good - I wanted to enjoy it as it was my birthday dinner but it fell so short. Sadly will never be back.
