The warm welcome by the headmaster at the entrance of Bacco Restsurant in Vienna was promising, setting high expectations for the dining experience ahead. However, our optimism quickly faded as we delved into the meal. While the food was satisfactory, it failed to justify the exorbitant price tag of 95 euros for two people.
One major disappointment was the lack of a menu at the beginning of our visit. Despite our hunger, we were left with no other option but to proceed blindly, unaware of what culinary delights awaited us or the cost we would incur. This lack of transparency left a sour taste in our mouths, both figuratively and literally.
While the ambiance and service were commendable, the overall experience was marred by the feeling of being overcharged and underinformed. As patrons, we value honesty and clarity when it comes to pricing and menu offerings. Unfortunately, Bacco fell short in this regard.
In conclusion, while Bacco may have its charms, its overpriced menu and lack of transparency make it difficult to recommend to others seeking an authentic Italian dining...

There are far better authentic italian restaurants 2 subway...
Read moreDELICIOUS Italian food. Paulo our server was very nice and charismatic. The isn't a menu and they just tell you the menu for the night which always changes with the seasons. There's also a very nice selection of delicious wines. We had some nice crustini, a plater of cold cuts, an AMAZING roast pork with rosemary, some of the best pasta I've ever had which was a lemon cream sauce and ricotta and spinach ravioli.

You MUST come here if you can, some of the best Italian...
