Food: best chicken parm and handmade pasta I’ve ever had. I substituted pappardelle for penne and Arabiatta for Alfredo. Salads were excellent as were the charcuterie options. Service: we sat at the bar and loved hanging out with Jessica, the bartender. Atmosphere: great vibe, music and bar seating Highly recommend

For at least 2 years now, my boyfriend and I frequent Bacco usually on Friday evenings for a 6pm dinner. Jonathan is the manager/bartender. He’s a real people person, remembers my boyfriend’s particular drink he likes, and we see lots of people come in to see Jonathan before getting seated. I’ve found my favorite dish, which is fairly new to the menu—Chicken Pasta Puttanesca. It’s my regular now :) Everything I love in a pasta dish: lots of tomato, capers, olives, tangy and saucy. Yum. My only critique is I wish they would mix the chicken in with the sauce so the meat gets saturated with the rest of the dish. It can get dry before the sauce picks up the slack. Charles likes to mix up his dishes, and he says he’s had pleasant meals almost every time. There was one time with a lobster that was not good, so he avoids the shellfish. The best meat dish he’s had is the lamb shank—soft and buttery, expertly cooked. The wine list quite good as well. I’m not well-versed, but Charles is and seems to like it a lot. I usually get the same thing—Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. Can’t get enough of it :) This is just solid comfort food. We can count on a good meal here. It’s far enough north to be away from the Pearl Street bustle and as long as we go early enough, we avoid the crowds.

Had our rehearsal dinner here last weekend and everything was amazing! Russell was so easy to work with to set stuff up, and staff day of was incredible. They asked my (now) wife and I if we wanted a drink the second we walked in, and made sure our glasses were full the entire evening. The food was amazing too, everyone raved about how good it was! We were a huge group, but that didn't seem to bother anyone there. Food and service were still great! Definitely recommend.

Hidden gem in North Boulder! Always delicious food, great staff and value. My boyfriend and I love to share a few apps off happy hour and each get a main, portion sizes are perfect. Already can’t wait to go back next time

We hosted our company holiday party at Bacco for the second year in a row, and they were absolutely fabulous. The food was delicious, the service was great and they took wonderful care of us. We will definitely be back!

Very chill atmosphere, friendly servers, and great food. I ordered the Frutti De Mare. It had great flavor and a bit of heat on the back end I loved. The sea food was just a hair overdone but considering we are nowhere near an ocean I can't complain too much. I would definitely go back.

Lunch menu was terrific! Bread was nicely toasted, not to crunchy with a side of olive oil. Salad had a good variety of vegetables and was larger than expected as a side. Tried the spinach and ricotta ravioli with bolognese sauce added rich flavor. Overall impressed as a first visit, can’t wait to go back and try more. Maybe for happy hour!
