Wanted to visit Bacco on many occasions but never made it until today! My friend and I had a nice lunch experience. When we arrived the security guard was friendly and so was the girl seating us by asking where we like to dine; indoor (no aircon’s ) or outdoor! Bacco is a very big restaurant and unfortunately it was almost empty of guests. A central and circular bar-tower with plenty of bottle on display make a nice photo point; Furnitures, chair cushions, the numerous food display cases and general decoration are not “WoW” and show their older age! WC nice, clean and yes, they have aircon :-)
Service… We decided to sit on the outdoor terrace and our waiter was Khun Nat who did a fine job catering to us… thanks Khun Nat!
Menu… they provide lots of menus (if I recall correctly 2 main Italian food, 1 Thai and 2 drinks menus). The menus likewise look “tired” and a bit old fashioned for the Italian menus; just typeset and very complex clusters of text without photos thus we opened the menu on the app where pics are added… nowadays menus with photos should be provided in any good or surely upscale restaurant. The Thai menu had photos but it was indeed in “retirement status” (worn-out)!
Food… like in any restaurant the food needs to be the highlight and Bocca hit the mark! We ordered 2 Appetizers = Pizza Marinara (no cheese added) and Parma Ham and both were excellent! The pizza was thin, crispy yet smooth and with a perfect Tomato paste; the Parma ham was lean, soft and not too salty (however it could have been sliced a bit thinner) 2 Main = Spaghetti Amatriciana was cooked Al dente and had the perfect texture and taste of bacon, tomatoes and with just the right level of Chili kick plus the option of freshly shredded Parmesan! The grilled Octopus was fresh and had a nice bread filling with real freshly made mash potatoes! The bread basked (complimentary) together with the high quality Olive oil was also very nice (only the Grissini were over m-baked).
There was No room left for desserts but the Tiramisu looked appealing :-)
Price/Value relationship is fine! We paid for the above food, plus 2 small bottles local water 1600.-
Verdict: definitely will return thus...
Read moreI had great expectations because its affiliation with the other in Bangkok dowtown but but none of them was fullfilled. Besides the location under the trees on the seashore the restaurant in itself has been a total failure. I started with a "panzerotto ripieno" that is made usually with a thin slightly yeasted dough ( just a little more than a piadina ) fried and filled of ham and cheese , thin and little crunchy in its original style here served instead by a casual pizza dough heavy , soft , oily just a mini calzone but without its richness. Just an attempt to feed thai people with an exotic name a disaster of combination between dough and filling , just and only heavy and oily with a hint of spicy salami inside . I followed with spaghetti carbonara about which i must saying cannot be classified for the simple reason that they forget , yes forgotten to make. Finally i had previously ordered a milanese , breaded fried meat similar to a schnitzel . It was hard , thick , fried in a stinky oil with many weeks of intense heat. In Italy the client would have rejected and sent back to the kitchen the pathetic " braciola " . My partner had a wise judgement and had an ordinary pizza the same you can find everywhere nowaday in urban thailand. Bottom line expensive too. Definitely a failed experience not worth the expense , a place that relies upon its location and the rotation of new unaware clients that they will eat a mock of italian cuisine with exotic names and improbable tastes beside the everywhere presence of the exhausted oil for frying .... no...
Read moreI recently had an incredible dining experience at Bacco Beach Italian Restaurant that I just have to share. After a disappointing dinner attempt at the neighboring Cave Beach Club, I was thrilled to find a gem like Bacco Beach.
The staff at Bacco Beach Italian Restaurant truly went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and given the option to choose between indoor or outdoor seating. Throughout the evening, the attentive staff accompanied us, ensuring we had everything we needed.
What impressed me the most was the efficiency and speed of service. The menu was delivered promptly, and within just 10 minutes, our delectable dishes arrived at our table. This level of service easily earns them a solid five stars in my book.
The food itself was a culinary delight. Bursting with genuine Italian flavors, the dishes were made with the freshest ingredients that transported my taste buds straight to Italy. It's not often you find such authenticity in a restaurant, and I was thoroughly impressed.
As an added bonus, the staff even took care of the pesky mosquitos, bringing us mosquito spray to ensure we had a comfortable dining experience. This thoughtful gesture truly highlighted their commitment to customer satisfaction.
I can confidently say that I have nothing but praise for Bacco Beach Italian Restaurant. My reviews are always honest and accurate, and this establishment has certainly earned its place as a must-visit spot. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Bravo,...
