Two star rating, but specifically for my experience in coming here with a groups. Spoiler alert: I would skip this place if you're with more than four people. I've been there once with a group of six, and once with a group of eight or nine people. Sure, it's a small space and, based on the table setup, they don't exactly promote themselves as group dining experience. However (in the case of the larger group) I wonder if the solution would have been to simply tell us that they're not able to accommodate that size, rather than seat us and it be too much for the waitstaff. Service was painfully slow and actually rude at points. Your glass will not be filled more than once. Even if you tell them beforehand checks are going to be split, that's for some reason going to be a bigger deal than you'd expect. Also the time with the larger group, our waitress would literally circle the restaurant, checked on the other small tables, and then leave without ever checking on us - at one point even ignoring a raised hand for attention. The kicker? The restaurant is less than half full usually when I'm there - it's not as though they're slammed need to be cut slack, and it's not as though we're coming at obscure times where they might be surprised by the sudden influx. I've had a fine experience as a solo diner there, but even then I can't say service is great. The prices aren't as good as causal dining, but their dishes aren't fine Italian - they're an in between that's probably best reserved for business lunches. read more

Ordered takeout - walked in and placed order for the Brussel and Kale salad as I was hoping it would be quick. I sat down patiently for twenty minutes while I read my book. Waited another 10 - after 30+ minutes salad came out. Asked for bacon on the side - no bacon at all. Manager or key employee handed me a coupon for the long wait. When I looked at the coupon it was buy one get one half off. That's just a slap in the face IMHO. I walked out - told the host I was personally offended as I went back to get the bacon they forgot. I gave the coupon to a nice family and will never go there again. Salad wasn't even that great for 12 buck. I expected much more for my first visit. Next time - I'll walk to MadGreens and get a salad made faster and to my order. read more

We love Via Baci! The Meatballs are yummy! Service is excellent!!! All meals are prepared beautifully!

I love their pizza but...during this time of social distancing I would stay away!!! We went there and no one was in the restaurant , so we decided to eat in. Once we ordered many people started coming and were seated way too close. I made a comment to a server that there was not 6-10 feet between us. She said they were but put them elsewhere. But others were also too close. The employees also did not all have on masks. I am going to report them. read more

Food was very good. Staff was friendly. Reasonably priced for Italian food. We've eaten here several times now and it's consistently good.

We had visited this restaurant several times in the past, but it's probably been 2-3 years since our last amazing meal. We were SO disappointed this time. Waited 50 minutes for a table after being told 20, they were out of the wine by the glass we were offered during the wait (in the doorway as there's no place to comfortably wait if the small bar is full). Our server was kind, prompt and friendly--definitely the highlight. The food was lukewarm upon arrival (daughter's pizza wasn't even "luke"), but we were in a hurry to make a show at the neighboring arts center. Bolognese was too spicy for one of our guests, and no where on the menu did it mention spice. But, the lasagna I was served was reminiscent of frozen from the store; reheated (barely) for my dinner. Sprinkled with non-melted cheese, canned mushrooms in the sauce...super disappointing. Will be our last visit there, I'm afraid. read more

We were in this restaurant today. The food was OK and the service was prompt. The hostess took us to a table for two in the back corner of the restaurant, I ask to be seated one table over, another two seat table. Sorry I don't like setting in the corner. I was told that table was reserved for some of there regular guest. After about 15 minutes two young guys were seated and they ordered two waters and sat there less then 5 minutes, then took there to go order and left. So unless you one of there special or regular guest don't expect anything special. As for me, if it weren't for my wife I wouldn't ever set foot in this restaurant again. At these prices you have the option to set at any vacant table that fits your party. Good luck. read more

Via Baci - Italian Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

Great place. The service was great. My wife's Antipasto salad with grilled chicken was great. Also enjoyed the wine during happy hour.

Our choice for dinner while staying the night on way to Utah. Rarely does our entire family clean our plates at dinner, yet we all did just that at Via Baci. Everything was excellent! Great and interesting salad choices too! read more

Finally a great Italian restaurant in lone tree. Seems like most of the pizza and Italian restaurants in the south denver area are on par with Olive Garden. These guys have obviously traveled outside of lone tree to experience real Italian food. I ordered the margarita pizza and the house salad. If you have ever been to Italy this is pretty close to it. Wood fired thin crust pizza, light fresh made sauce and real mozzarella cheese. Most other pizza places use fake cheese and put dog food toppings. The salad was fresh greens, not ice burg lettuce, I will be back to try the rest of the menu!n read more

The food is amazing! We had a party of 4 and we all order different entrees. All 4 were just amazing. Fresh!! The atmosphere just that of a bistro. Everyone was super nice too! To bad we live 2 1/2 hours away or we would be back on a very regular basis! read more

See all

This restaurant has fresh, beautiful ingredients. I had just finished an annoying but necessary shopping trip to Target, & decided to pop in for happy hour. The friendly server suggested the Caprese Salad, mentioning that the mozzarella is made daily. It did not disappoint, & the presentation was beautiful. I was impressed as I watched the kitchen prep fresh herbs still on the stem. I will be back. read more

Delicious food and wine, fantastic staff, and great service! I see familiar faces every time I'm there. Love their happy hour. The bar area is rather small and can be congested during peak times, but other than that, I really enjoy the atmosphere. I always look forward to Via Baci whether I'm dining in or ordering take out. A solid choice no matter what the occasion! read more

Had high expecations considering restaurant had 4 out of 5 stars for reviews. We made reservations and table was waiting for us upon arrival. Restaurant and decor is cute. Once seated, things went downhill. Service was slow. Ordered 2 apps to start. Shrimp and cheese garlic bread. Shrimp app had 3 small shrimp. Garlic bread was 3 pieces and was very soggy - not at all crisp (I liked it but dinner companions did not). You'd think that since we were a table of 4 - at least one of the apps would have 4 pieces. The shrimp app was $10. Slow to take our main order. Once meal arrived, realized that waiter took wrong order for one of our dinner companions. So she had to wait even longer for her correct dish to arrive. We had one chicken/pasta entree which was very good. Two different kinds of pizza - mushroom and a chicken special. Mushroom was average except they dumped a huge amount of fresh oregano leaves on top (after it was baked) and it was not appealing - so I picked all of it off. Plus, a good part of the crust was black burnt. Chicken special pizza was ok - flavor was bland. Rosemary chicken was small portion with very small side salad. My dinner companion was still hungry after eating it. As for desserts, they were out of 2 of the desserts. None of the desserts are made in-house. Friends ordered the lava cake - it was ok - a little funky texture. This was my 2nd trip to Via Baca in last couple weeks. First trip was for a late lunch - we ordered bruchetta and one of the salad specials. Salad had a couple small strips of dry chicken it it and was very boring. Service was ok which was surprising since it was after lunch and only a couple other tables with customers. Overall, very disappointed considering the earlier reviews I read. read more

Came in for lunch, it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. Highly disorganized, all the pasta dishes we got were over cooked and watery, the pizza sauce tasted acidic to the point of me questioning if it was spoiled, and we waited so long for our food that it wasn't even worth tracking someone down to express our dissatisfaction (nor did any management even care to ask). To top it off it was $70 for 2 adults and 2 kids for lunch? Super disappointed. read more

We had a thoroughly delightful time!! Everything was simply ideal. This was our first visit to Via Baci although we had read the consistently good reviews on Yelp and other online sites. Yet because my husband can eat anything and I have to watch my weight, cholesterol, fat, and calorie intake, we rarely think about going out for pizza. Via Baci has changed all that! First of all the atmosphere and service are classy. No blaring TVs, pinball machines, or my-first-job-ever servers. VIa Baci is a refined, comfortable venue that also boasts a delightful patio. The menu is extensive - check it out online. Everything we ordered was fresh, perfectly portioned, beautifully presented, and truly delicious. The best part for me was their eager willingness and perfect fulfillment of my dietary tweaks. Imagine my sheer delight of ordering a gluten-free fresh veggie pizza with extra marinara sauce but light on the cheese! When I just had to sample my husband's homemade lasagna, it too had a light, fresh flavor of natural prepared, carefully selected ingredients. I decided that because of the healthy salad, brushetta and entree selections, we could split a chocolate and vanilla tartuffo. I indulged with guiltless enthusiasm! The service was enthusiastic but refined, attentive but non-intrusive. Everything about our experience was simply wonderful. We both can't wait to go back. We hope if this review inspires you to try Via Baci you will feel the same way. read more

This place is a nice little restaurant but the service is super slow and the food is mediocre. The waitress was very nice but I don't know if they were just understaffed that day but it took a long time for her just to come around and take my drink order, and then another long round of waiting before we had our orders placed. We ordered mussels as an appetizer, which did not taste fresh at all. The bread was completely stale and it seemed like they used yesterday's leftover bread. The dinner itself wasn't that bad but the menu said the carbonara comes with two eggs and I only got one and because I couldn't get the waitress's attention I just ate it that way read more

I really enjoy this place. The food is really consistent and the happy hour specials on wine are affordable too. The spinach artichoke dip is a great appetizer and I almost always go for one of their pizzas. The only downside is the wait staff is sometimes a little less attentive than I like, but I'll definitely be back again soon. read more

Love it! Eat here 1-2 times a week. Team has been I. Place a long time and the food and service is very consistent. The salads, entree's and pizza is all very authentic and really well done. Mac and cheese is lights out as a hidden gem read more

Because the spinach on my pizza is either canned or frozen. Not fresh, what the heck??? Have never been served that on pizza in my life.

I'm giving this place 4 stars. I am on my (apparently never ending) quest to find good pizza in the Denver metro area and so far this is the closest I have found. There are a lot of places that claim to be "authentic neapolitan" pizza in this area for some reason.. I guess it's all marketing because it's bull. This place is actually a whole lot closer to authentic neapolitan than anywhere else around. I don't get how it seems every gross pizza place I have been to (proto's, virgilio's, the oven pizza e vino) all have all these rave reviews and accolades to their name and this place has been completely missed! Great service here as well. Will definitely go back. read more

The food is good here. But one of the reasons we ate here all the time was their martinis were great and price was right. They recently almost doubled Martini price to $12.75 and this is for a small martini glass. Highest price in town. Ridiculous. We don't go there as much now. read more

Im not one to rush home and hop on Yelp, but I had to write an update for this place. My wife and I each had pasta dishes and they were literally perfect. I have severe dietary restrictions and the waitress did a great job ensuring my meal was prepared properly so I could eat it, and I really appreciated that because it was great. The meals were incredible and the service was beyond expectations by a great deal! We will be back again in the near future, I am excited to try the pizza again. read more

Great food over and over again. Great mussels, pizza, pasta abs the staff is very friendly. W tried it out on Uber eats and loved it too!

Great food. Cool swanky type atmosphere. This would gotta five out of five stars, but a little expensive. The price is set to fill the pocket book of the owner(s) and not caring about the customer who wants to repeat. So, nonetheless, this is a good once a year type place. read more

Sat us at a dirty table, minus a star. Gave us a dirty plate, minus another star. Pizza was tasty, but expensive for size, minus one more star. Will not return. read more

I just have to take a moment to talk about Via Baci. My wife and I love going to this place, we always get the same waitress(Shea) and she is great! The pizza is awesome and the wine selection is huge, if you need suggestions, Shea is very knowlegable. If you want fresh ingredients and great hospitality, this is the place for you.. read more

I usually come here with my family because I like the pizza, yet I came here with my girlfriend to celebrate our anniversary and the chicken pasta dish they have was way undercooked. Had a light pink color everywhere and was was too mushy. We immediately asked for a re cook and the waitress was not empathetic or reactive at all to the problem. Manager comes back with a new dish 15 minutes later with the new dish and says sorry, but doesn't even offer the dish for free or at least a discount for the inconvenience. Eggplant parmesan was okay it's $17 price is way too expensive for the quality. read more

If you like spoon full of garlic in every bite, long wait for service, arrogant managers, and cold food. This is the place for you. I will not be back. read more

So the first time I came here I made the mistake of not getting pizza. Don't get me wrong the salad was good, but smelling the brick oven pizza is torture when you are trying to watch what you eat. So the next time, I indulged at got there special pizza. It was spicy pepperoni with jalapenos and extra cheese. So good! The staff are super attentive and this has definitely become a go to place when you are looking for a GREAT brick oven pizza experience! read more

Great food and consistent quality, try to get there early it's not a secret anymore. The lasagna is to die for!

A great little spot for tasty, affordable Italian food. I am not Italian, nor have I been to Italy, so can't speak about authenticity, but the food and service was absolutely stellar for me. If only it wasn't all the way down in Lone Tree. Nevertheless, I will be back read more

I live close to Via Baci and I've been there a handful of times. The food is delicious and they have a nice, inexpensive, happy hour. The service can be spotty, but, it's never been terrible. I'm never disappointed. read more

There was a very limited selection of food other than pizza for lunch. I had the marg pizza which was just ok. Everyone else claimed their food was just ok as well. Service was ok. Overall, this place is ok, so I have to go w/ 2 stars. OK? read more

Rush rush rush. Cold pasta, overdone chicken, very very so so. It is close to Lone Tree Arts Center but that is about it. Not the place for a relaxed romantic dinner. read more

I eat lunch at Via Baci often. I have found their salads and their pizza to be quite good. The service is fantastic and all of the wait staff are very friendly. I highly recommend the Diavolo pizza, it's one of my personal favorites. read more

Update: the GM reached out in a matter of minutes to apologize and make things right-really appreciate it! And...even though it was cold, we ate our to-go pizza an hour after we left and it was delicious. Thanks Via Baci for making things right and focusing on customer service! Update: I've been coming here for years and I have to say, the service tonight was awful. Wanted a fun, easy place for my bday and ended up leaving without eating and with to-go boxes because the kitchen took too long and our waitress was rude. Sat us at the busiest table in the place (next to the bar), our drinks came out with our salad and our toddler's pizza was forgotten about. If you are in the service industry you should know that a fed toddler = a more enjoyable experience for the parents and the restaurant staff. Very disappointed and will think twice before going back. Summer Post: This place is great! I like all of the different pizza options and they have a great salad menu as well. They do a weekend happy hour that gets you a couple dollars off wine and beer which no one's ever complained about! Good for kiddos too! read more

We love this place- We always order the pizza's but so ask for it to be cooked extra crispy as it can be soggy at times and it's wonderful, the mussels are wonderful too. The service is great- we always try and get Marisa as she is amazing. The pasta is good but the extra crispy Enzo is the best. read more

Great food. Their neopolita style pizza goes without saying is great. It wasn't the only thing on the menu that we enjoyed. Everything we had was great. Starting with the fig bruschetta, the pumpkin raviolli the Enzo pizza and the wine( which by the way is half off on Thursdays). I can't forget how great the service was. I will definitely eat here again. read more

I have gone here several times with my family and it continues to get worse and worse. The wait staff has been less then friendly for the last few visits. In addition the portions are all very small. Especially the child plates. My very small 7 year old ordered the kids spaghetti plate. She finished it up in no time flat because there was so little on her plate. When I asked if she could have a little bit more spaghetti (no sauce mind you just plain spaghetti) she brought out another plate and charged the full price for another kids meal. No additional drink given. This was for approximately 35 Cents worth of pasta. If my very light eater can't be satiated with their portions no one can. Don't bother with their French onion soup. We won't be back. read more
