Baci Ristorante

I celebrated my birthday with my family at Baci. The atmosphere was inviting as were the staff. The bruschette bread was very good. Some ordered the carrot, celery, ginger soup which was excellent, I might add. As everyone ordered something different from the menu, heres what my 9 guests had. 2 pple had the 10 layer lasagna but the top layer of cheese was slightly burnt and over done and small in size. 2 pple had the Carbonara which was delicious except a little too heavy on the black pepper added in the cooking process, NOT at the table. All the pasta dishes were cooked al dente just as the menu states which is most satisfying. One ordered the special of the day which was the honey glazed salmon with broccolini and barley risotto. The broccolini stems were tough, salmon was perfect. barley cooked to perfection. One ordered the Alfredo pasta, too oily as the plate showed it all on the bottom as my guest would have liked it to be more creamy based. Mine and my father in-laws could have been served hotter in temperature but it may have been because we had 10 pple at the table, hard to bring out all those entrees and ensure they are all hot and ready at the same time. My meatballs were the only disappointment of the nite, they were tough and hard and tasteless. As far as our server for the evening, he was outstanding. His name was Jordan. He was very gracious and outgoing, and was very pleasing to our entire table of guests. The funniest thing though was as our plates arrived, Jordan our server came back with at least a 6ft pepper mill in his arms, it was huge, as we all laughed, and yes it was real and with black pepper. My complimentary birthday vanilla sour cream no bake cheesecake with the Oreo cookie crust was superb.The room was full, all the tables were occupied, clearing tables could have been speedier, but all in all it was a great experience and would go back and would recommend to others.
