9baci — Restaurant in Vaughan

I’ve driven past 9Baci almost every day for the past few years thinking, “I really need to try that place.” And I finally did!

My boyfriend picked it for our dinner date since he’s mentioned it a bunch of times and had nothing but good things to say. We showed up on a Saturday evening, walked in, and quickly realized we accidentally crashed someone’s engagement party. We turned around to leave, but Jason (the owner or manager) caught us at the door and said they were setting up some tables for walk-ins. He asked if we could wait a few minutes, and honestly, he was so friendly about it, we were happy to.

We started with the Prosciutto & Fior Di Latte Grigliata, and wow… that was so good!!! Milky cheese wrapped in prosciutto that was slightly cooked, giving it a subtle smoky flavour, and the balsamic drizzle added a sweet, tangy kick. It was simple but SO good. I already want to go back just for that dish.

For our main, we shared the Prosciutto & Arugula pizza. Thin crusted, with generous amount of prosciutto and arugula, and just enough shaved parm and balsamic to give it that little extra something. Everything just worked together perfectly. Totally satisfied my pizza craving.

They usually have specials on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and even weekends, but Jason let us know they didn’t have them that night because the kitchen staff had been working events all day and needed a bit of a breather. Totally fair, and everything we had was still great.

The date was already lovely, but then came the sweetest surprise... they brought us Cinnamon Sugar Baci on the house!! Fresh fried dough tossed in cinnamon sugar with Nutella on the side as dip. The dough was soft and pillowy in every bite. So satisfying! And just when we thought we were done, they brought us cappuccinos, also on the house. What a sweet way to end the night.

The food was fantastic, but honestly, it was the hospitality that stood out the most. Jason and the team made us feel really welcome. I’m so glad I finally got to try this place, and I’ll...

We hosted our sons baptism at 9Baci this past weekend, and it was absolutely perfect. We dealt with Alivia, in regards to all the planning (menu, decor, etc) she was amazing. She provided us with her phone number and was always a text away. She kept us in the loop, and made sure every last detail was accounted for. The day of, we had 4 incredible servers (Stefanie, Matthew, Lauren & Giovanni) they did not skip a beat, they had the restaurant decorated (with the helpful guidance of Alivia) and ready to go. They were always there for any assistance and very friendly and professional. They served the food in a timely manner and were able to navigate through all the tables, commotion and running children with ease (very impressive). Adele was great, weaving her way through our guests making sure they were enjoying themselves and all needs were met. The DJ and live entertainment were phenomenal and did a great job keeping our guests entertained and involved. Aside from the amazing service and atmosphere the food was WOW! We've come to 9baci for dinner in the past and the portions and quality of food were always great. But even for an event, the portions were very generous (most places cut the portions in half). Everyone raved about the food, the portions and the presentation. Everything was absolutely delicious. You won't be let down if you decide to host your event here. We also requested to have their pastry chef make a puff tree for us, and it was soo delicious and fresh! I can go on forever about our incredible experience that I am so thankful for. I also had the pleasure of meeting Cathy that day and she was an absolute delight. Please disregard negative reviews and check them out...

I have been wanting to try the food at 9Baci as I live in the area and have driven by it many times. Made a reservation for 4 people and one of my friends arrived first and when i walked in was immediately disappointed. They seated us at this big round table that can fit 10 people and the table was literally 3 feet away from the entrance doors. The table was infront of the hostess booth so just looked like they added a table there because they had no where to put us. I don’t think anyone would be happy to be seated there. It didn’t feel comfortable because the music was loud and we would have to yell at eachother across this massive table when our group wasn’t big enough to fill it. I mean if we were 8 people I would understand. We asked to be moved to a smaller table as there were a few tables available in the dining area and were told no those tables are booked for a reservation and we said well we had a reservation to and were told that this table was specifically booked for you. Just felt cold. Not good customer service. What a first experience there. Will not go back! Also, when my friend arrived there were two other groups that walked in seconds after her one group had three people and the other was four and they got seated at normal tables in the dinning area. When my friend was there first. Just...
