great cozy environment and food was excellent! the shrimp and scallop pasta was so good. the scallops were tender and cooked perfectly. the shrimp was also very good. the sauce was a little salty but overall it was one of the best i’ve had. the veal marsala was also very good. the veal was thin but the sauce kept it moist. the service was also great. the hostess and waitress were all very helpful and kind. overall would come again!

Best Italian food in the city!! However.. I’ve been coming here for years and unfortunately no matter what I do lately they only seem to care about their customers if they are older, rude and snobby. I’ve sat at the bar the last few times next to people who are openly not polite to the servers/bartenders and those people continue to get the smiles and good service. Meanwhile I feel I go out of my way to be relaxed, understanding and a simple guest with little to no personality in response from my server(s). Just so very unfortunate for such an amazing Italian spot with the best food.

The food is undeniably fresh. The quality of ingredients are excellent. Oysters and calamari were fresh. The problem is the flavor. The fried oysters were cooked in oil that needed to be changed and you could definitely taste that. The salmon was alright but it didn’t have good flavor. The veal with artichokes was very surprising but not in a positive way. Not sure what happened with that meal, the flavor was quite indescribable. We didn’t finish it nor did we box that. It tasted sour, gamy, but none of these are actual flavor profiles. There’s no way to describe it without saying something that would sound disrespectful. Maybe it was an off day. The whole restaurant smelled like smoke and the air inside was worse than the air inside.

This place is very unassuming. Being from out of town, it was suggested to me. Cozy, neighborhood atmosphere. Good drink selection, a good amount of menu options, which made it difficult to decide. The Chicken Picatta is so delicious. Tender, juicy and flavorful. It was filling without being too much. Service was quick. Make a reservation if you plan to go during a typically busy period. This will be my return spot during future visits to explore more of the menu.

Food was tasty and good portion sizes, we also ordered the Paté which was also very good. I do wish we had gotten a bit more than two little rolls of bread though for the table.

Love this place! Every time I’m in town I make sure to stop by here because it’s delicious and actually reasonably priced. Some of the pasta dishes are really oily, but I’m not on a diet so it doesn’t bother me any! Glad to see it made it through the pandemic and is still open. Definitely stop by if you’re in the mood for Italian.

The service was good and friendly but all the dishes came out at once (8 of them which was pretty weird)

What a wonderful place to have gourmet meal with fresh ingredients. My husband had the salmon and shrimp served in lobster sauce. I had a hardy lamb shank in white bean broth. We also shared a fried goat cheese salad and Bacon Brussels sprout on the side. Everything was delicious! The best of all, our waitress Hanna was extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely visit Bacchus again.

Bacchus is a constantly awesome restaurant. Nancy as the general manager and Chris as the chef, they produce an absolutely authentic Mediterranean dining experience. This is NOT Olive Garden with pasta on the side. What you get is an amazing gastronomic experience true to it’s roots. Duck breast, chicken piccata, scallops and prosciutto, wedge salad, tapenade, and chicken paté. Every bite was heaven. Nancy, the co-owner waited on us. Her French giblets are non pareil!!!
