Baci Trattoria Inc — Restaurant in Vero Beach

"Top 5 Breakfast" THIS IS WORTH A DRIVE!!!

The Big Boy has been driven Stone Cold Crazy by undeservedly paying time after time for so many subpar breakfasts in Florida and was all set and ready to say "The Egg and Bye" to his quest for the perfect version of the most important meal of the day, when he stumbled upon the breakfast of champions right here in Vero Beach! If all were right in this universe, Baci Trattoria would be rich enough to buy the rights and blare "We Are the Champions" from a megaphone jutting out from a snazzy dot matrix sign towering over this Seaside Rendezvous called Vero Beach!

An Italian theme is plastered all over the incredibly inventive Italo-Southern fusion breakfast menu including bread spiedini, an Italian salad, and cannoli pancakes, and even the black overhangs below the ceiling bearing the Sophia Loren quote "Everything you see, you owe to spaghetti," to the point where you might just start randomly blurting out "Mamma Mia let me go" and getting "GALILEO" yelled repeatedly in your ears in rapid-fire succession. To find out that owners the Fulchinis are born and raised Italians and Mrs. Fulchini is a professional home renovator and interior and graphic designer was about as much of a surprise as Freddie Mercury coming out. Mrs. Fulchini's motto is "food, family and design," and it shows in the familial atmosphere and superbly detailed interior. Even more smartly, they play up their Italian heritage by speaking in Italian whenever the opportunity arises and marketing Baci as an Italian restaurant by afternoon, but one that just happens to have better breakfast than any other No Name Nonna you can find in this un-cavallo città!

The server Marie was an incredibly charming and warm human being, a true "Sweet Lady" who started off this Italian Rhapsody on a "good note." Her hospitality made me feel perfectly at home in a trattoria serving Southern-style breakfasts, a cultural mélange producing a much finer version of a chicken and biscuit than you'd find at The Refinery: lathered with black pepper-dusted rich gravy and served with properly seasoned potatoes for a carb overload that'll no doubt put you heavily "Under Pressure" to maintain your diet!

Because a trattoria is basically a peasant food establishment, the grits are helpfully named "peasant grits pot," but yet the stainless lid does not hide the Deep South's version of end-of-the month ramen, but a stunningly creative pile of seemingly everything - a spinach and bacon topping a pimento cheese-infused heaping bowl of grits oozing with eggs cooked as you please, dusted lightly with chives like they were green cherries on top! By now all thoughts of health food are long gone and one can only brace for a "Sheer Heart Attack!"

"So don't stop me now / Don't stop me / Cause I'm having a good time"

If you do find the will, then you will find there is a way as soon as you greedily eye the aforementioned cannoli pancake. One of the greatest culinary creations you'd ever even dream of seeing in the AM hours. Just imagine this. Two pancakes, one folded over cannoli filling, topped with more cannoli, fruit, powdered sugar and chocolate sauce. And that is exactly what you will get.

Homemade pancakes fluffier than Shakira's curls in a balsam bath? Check. Thick creamy filling sweeter than Oprah on ketamine? Check! Fresh strawberry redder than Rihanna's hair on Mars? Check!! Oozy chocolate sauce richer than Donald Trump with a tax exemption? CHECK AND MATE!!

Am I done, folks? I've got a lot of reviewing to do, but I could feel like I am done. What greater height is there to aspire to? When you eat something this tremendously good, you could be inspired to keep looking for the next gem, or get distracted from your quest to review it all because everything else pales so much that all you think after paying the check is "Another One Bites the Dust." Once you have tasted Baci's breakfast, every time henceforth you will hear the words "Who Wants to...

We loved Bacci's, but last time we went we brought guests because we raved about the place. A waitress put a pitcher of water on our table with no glasses. The next time we saw anyone it was 20 minutes later and asked what she could get us. As we were waiting so long we were ready to order. We placed our order, 10 minutes after that, we finally received drinks. 5 minutes after that the manager/owner or cook comes out and says that, the biscuits of which 4 of 5 of us ordered breakfast with were, "in the oven". We said, how long would it take and she said to long. So we decided to leave. Today 8/6/23 we went back, figured maybe it was just the day and we would try again. There were 8 of us, we got a table right away, waitress was great. Food, was as good as it has been in the past. Everything was on time, we got our food, ate breakfast. Paid our bill and as we were talking. Not 5 minutes after we paid the bill. The same person who told us the biscuits "were in the oven", but we could not wait for us, came over to our table. She said, I am sorry to ask this, but will you please leave, we have a party of 5 waiting. Not 5 minutes after we paid our bill! I get the place is small and space us limited, but it was the rudest most uncomfortable situation ever. We were there to celebrate someone's birthday and were literally told to get out. That sealed the deal. We won't be back. Part of the experience is the hospitality and when I am spending good money, that I work hard for, only to be asked to leave, immediately after eating. After the previous time's experience? It's disgusting. You don't treat any of your guests that way, unless they are just as rude and obnoxious as you...

We went for brunch today around 11:30. There were 6 people in our party, we were seated fairly quickly only having to wait about 30 mins. They were really busy. Everything was fine until we were seated. We had to have our drinks in styrofoam cups bc they ran out of cups from being so busy. Once we were seated, we probably waited 10-15 mins until we got our drink orders and then another 10 mins passed before we got our drinks. We placed our order and ended up waiting for over a hour and fifteen minutes before our food was done. Our waitress was very rude and did not communicate well with us or the rest of her tables. Once a hour passed we started asking questions as the restaurant started to slow down. Other tables were getting up and leaving because they had been waiting for so long. Our waitress was rude and told us that the kitchen makes every order one at a time. I ordered the chicken biscuit and was told about 45 mins after I placed my order that they were out of gravy to go on top. It make the biscuit very dry and the chicken was a little plain. We were visiting from South Carolina and was excited to eat there. But, unfortunately we will not be returning. My grandparents live there full time and eat there frequently and was very disappointed as well, they will not be returning either. I feel they were not prepared for the busy mother’s...
