I would give this place zero stars if I could. Waited inside a non air conditioned restaurant. I swear it was a million degrees. It was about 88 degrees outside and in that restaurant it was hotter. They had my handicapped mother waiting for a table of five without offering her a chair. Then five regulars walked right passed us, no reservations and were seated immediately. With that, we left, noone acknowledged that we were even waiting for a table when the other people walked in and right passed us. I will never give them my business. read more

Food was cold twice. Nice people, but I don't like cold food. It never used to arrive cold until recently.

Terrible service! I recently found out about these guys and was excited until I got to their store and they ignored me, served me last, gave me my food last! I'm not one to pull the "race card" but I knew something was up when a Caucasian lady stood up for me and they responded to her! They lost my business! read more

AMAZING GLUTEN FREE PIZZA. I read the reviews about it being so good and it is!! Thanks so much. Tastes like actual pizza!!!

First time here and we absolutely loved it. Charming atmosphere, with an extensive menu. The staff were very nice and I noticed that they helped each other out as a team, refilling drinks, clearing tables and bringing out food, etc. I ordered the chicken parm and it was delicious. I ordered the small and took home leftovers. The prices are extremely reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

This place has gone way downhill! It used to be pretty good but now absolutely nasty place to eat at! First of all, there was no central A/C on a hot 90 degree humid night. Just a couple of cheap fans and a window A/C that's only fit for a bedroom, not an entire restaurant. Was the owner too cheap to turn on the central air? The employees must of been suffering that night. It was so bad inside that we decided to eat outside. It was hot and humid but at least breathable. The table we sat at was kinda dirty. I decided to wipe it myself. I ordered the chicken francese with a side of pasta in the same sauce and it was pretty disgusting! The pasta wasn't mixed in the sauce, just slopped on top of the so called buttery lemon wine sauce. The chicken was a bit chewy and combined with the so-called buttery lemon wine sauce made this meal nasty. The portion was big even on a small size but the food was just that nasty I only ate one chicken breast and left the 2nd one alone as I was hungry. I even didn't eat much of the pasta, it was that bad. Even my mother who I gave a piece to said it wasn't good at all. Good thing I didn't complain as the waitress threw an attitude when asking for a bag to put the food my parents wanted to take home by slamming the bag on the table. How low class really! The only good out of this experience was a clean bathroom and that's it! Absolutely disgusting meal with bad attitude service over a bag is why I'll never come back. It made the Olive Garden seem gourmet. read more

The pizza is excellent whether onsite or takeout. However, apps are typically cold and/or soggy when ordered via takeout. I have given up ordering french fries, onion rings, and garlic knots. The metal containers with plastic lid lead to condensation and are a terrible way to provide take out for these items. Coming from near Philly, it is more typical to have these items delivered in paper bags - to ensure crispness. I wish more take out restaurants in NY did this. Bacio's is not alone in this soggy dilemma. I really miss hot crispy french fries. Also, our last order the pizza was also cold. read more

From New Jersey. Looking for pizza and Chinese food is like pulling teeth. This place is bumping and the slices are thin long and just overall good! Money to size ratio is great haha read more

I would've given three star so this place if they didn't deliver food until late. Their pizza is decent same with their pasta but nothing great. Finally there do delivery guys are not the best read more

This place is the bomb.com, the staff is awesome, and the garlic knots and the eggplant rollatini are top notch. One of my favorite places to go in Poughkeepsie. Hands down. read more

Such good pizza! And wings! Customer service is always up to par! I like to call to order so that it's ready when I pick it up.

Love their Pies!!! Every single pizza we have ordered has been a delight. Always fast delivery and the staff is helpful over the phone.

Great food! Great delivery service! But they should get their drivers Square because they always have trouble taking my credit card over the phone. Would be a great technological addition to their services... read more

I love this place. I've never been there before. Food was really good and our server , Jess , was amazing. Give her a raise!!!

I'd give this place a zero if I could. The food arrives quickly, but that's about the only positive experience. The food is sub-par. The service is even worse. I made a specific request in my order. They failed to oblige. When I called to complain, the hostess politely apologized, but offered no solutions. The manager that followed was snappy and rude, and even called back to demand that I return the unsatisfactory food upon delivery of its replacement. Fine! I didn't want it anyway! I wouldn't have made this post, but the driver was also rude. If you're into mediocre food and an almost complete lack of customer service, you've found one gem in the Hudson valley. Bon appetit! read more

Our family loves this restaurant! We always eat here anytime we're in Poughkeepsie. Their prices are extremely reasonable. They have a large menu selection and we've never had a bad meal. read more

We ordered the Veggie pizza for delivery and it was really disappointing. There were so many veggies-literally like a half inch layer totally blanketing the pizza- that is was almost nauseating and we didn't even want to finish it. The spinach was in big wet clumps and the mushrooms and olives canned; there were soooo many onions even my hubby, who loves them, didn't want to eat more than a couple slices. Bummer :( read more

I love going to Bacios, they always have excellent food (love their pizza), their cappuccinos are made to perfection, and the tiramisu is delicious as well. I either order take out (approx 20 mins from when I call it in around dinnertime) or go to lunch/dinner. My only complaint is the noise when the place is packed. read more

i've heard multiple times from friends that the service is incredibly slow here, and so we as a group have opted for other restaurants in the area- but personally i'd never experienced particularly slow service worth complaining about until today. we arrived and the waitress/hostess watched us walk in and sit down to join a friend that was already enjoying her lunch. it was pretty busy, so i walked up and asked the waitress/hostess if i could just get us menus, hoping to help her out a little. 25 minutes later, my friend was done with her lunch and no one had approached the table once to ask her how it was OR even taken our drink order. my friend went up to the counter and asked for a box for her food, the girl behind the counter brought her a box but didnt even knowledge that myself and my other friend were sitting there- menus open waiting to have our orders taken. my friend paid up at the counter and left. ANOTHER 10 mins went by, where the waitress walked by us multiple times and helped others who had come in after us, but when i tried to get her attention you would think we were invisible. keep in mind, this was the same waitress/hostess that watched me walk in and sit down AND watched me take a menu for myself and my friend, so there was no way she didnt know we were waiting to be served. if i hadnt had a particular item in mind for my lunch, we would've gotten up and walked out. but finally the waitress acted like we'd appeared out of no where and asked if anyone was helping us- she was the only waitress there, who else could have been helping us? this same service continued throughout our meal. my friend asked for napkins, we never got any. and no one asked once how our meal was, despite half the place clearing out while we were eating, meaning there were less people for her to be focused on therefore we should have had more attention. i don't completely blame her, i would say they were under staffed- but what really got me was that she didnt seem to be stressed when she was serving others, she just seemed to be flat out ignoring us. it was a major disappointment considering that i do always enjoy my food when i go there. i hope they can up there game so that they can change this reputation of being slow that i've heard so much about, and now experienced first hand! read more

Seven of us went for dinner while attending Vassar reunion. Food was much better than expected - veal, chicken, eggplant, salad. We all loved it. Huge portions and reasonably priced! Liked the fact that they took reservations. read more

Bacios is one great place to find quick Italian food . If you are a fan of chicken parmigiana heroes or cheesy pastas , this place is a must . By far, some of the best pizza in the area & very good atmosphere inside the establishment . Seating area is quite spacious and TVs for entertainment. What can I say , Place is good ! read more

We had lunch at Bacio's after visiting Vassar. I am gluten free but my husband and son are most definitely not. I was thrilled that they offed gluten-free pizza. I ordered an small eggplant one which was actually quite large (I brought a couple of slices back to New York with me and polished them off the next day). My husband and son both tasted it and thought that it was really good. They both had non-gluten meals, a veal parm sub and a broccoli rabe pizza and said they were excellent. The waitress was super helpful when I asked about the gluten-free pizza and the chef came out to see me afterward to find out if I liked it. read more

Just moved upstate and after much research i finally found a pizzeria thats consistently great! Not to mention the super cute decor of the place but the pizza is great, they have a big menu with tons of things to try, def my go to for pizza in Poughkeepsie read more

I was recently told I couldn't eat gluten anymore and was extremely disappointed that I'd never have pizza again. Thankfully these guys do it gluten free! I was expecting t to be tasteless and instead it was absolutely delicious. We also ordered meat balls and a buff chicken wrap which were all great. Will definitely return! read more

Quality is all over the place. Sometimes you get a hot, fresh pizza and then tonight we got -- after waiting and hour and fifteen minutes -- a pizza that had clearly been cooked nearly an hour ago. Everything was cold and congealed; you never know if they will deliver you something hot out of the oven or leave it sitting for a 30-60 minutes before bothering to deliver it. read more

I give Bacio 5-stars for their pizza. It is the best in the area. A crisp crust, nicely flavored sauce and excellent toppings. The staff are fantastic and extremely friendly. We have been here several times, and will be back again. read more

Food = 4 stars, waitstaff= 4 stars, owner standing in the dining area with a nasty face waiting for guests to leave unacceptable = no stars. We will not be returning because of that. Shame on you. read more

Amazing food, a true hidden Gem right close to home. Jerry was extremely hospitable and made us feel right at home.

I got the vegetable pizza with meatballs on it - the meatballs were good, but the rest of the pizza was lacking any flavor - I understand I got vegetables, but I think some salt would have been nice... just saying.. read more

We really enjoy Pizzeria Bacio not only for their pizza but for the fresh salads and other entrees as well. I really enjoy that they use great fresh spinach and romaine in their salads as well as other fresh veggies and this holds true for the sides on the entrees. For those trying to eat a bit healthier you can get a very nice piece of salmon on spinach with tomatoes or you can get more traditional Italian-American dishes such as chicken or eggplant parm or a wide variety of pasta dishes. This is a great family place. read more

Us Vassar students tend to order a lotta food from Bacio's because everything is always so delicious and comes so quickly! When organizing a fundraiser for a student org on campus, Prohealth, we asked Bacio's if they would be willing to provide a food donation, and we could not believe their generosity. They gave us ~40 orders of penne alla vodka, garlic knots, and salads for our fundraiser, which wound up being a huge success. We really can't thank them enough!! :) read more

My girlfriend and I always get our pizza here. Sauce is good, Pizza's in general are always perfect. When I don't get pizza, I usually get the Chicken Zappatore Spinach wrap which is absolutely delicious. They cook the Broccoli Rabe just like my grandma, perfectly! read more

Bacio is more than a pizzeria, with a delicious and reasonably priced full scale menu. It is a major hub of Arlington's downtown and Vassar College, always full of activity. Management generously gives back to our community as well. Eat here!!! read more

Their pizza is quite good and I definitely recommend their pizza rustico for anyone who like meat on their pizza.

Great, casual place for pizza or Italian food. Huge portions and great prices. Chicken Parmesan comes with 2 big chicken breasts. Vodka sauce is out of this world. read more

Best pizza in Dutchess County. Crust is nice and thin and if you order it a bit well done then it will stand at attention for you, no need for silverware, no dropping slices. Have not had the other food but it appears everyone enjoys their meals. Wait staff is attentive and polite. read more

oh my. Just don't. So many better places, including Domino's, I HATE myself for saying this because I really would prefer to support local business, but. Just don't. read more

To me, it's the most reliable and low-key place around town. The staff is super friendly, the cheese pizza is bomb and the garlic knots, man, don't even get me started on those puppies. Also, very affordable! read more
