"After all the ado made over this restaurant, I finally stopped by for the first time last week. I will confess that I have a pet peeve regarding restarants: being seated at a poor table. From my perspective, a good restaurant should have no bad tables. My impoverished perch, however, sat painfully close to the path that the waitresses followed from the bar to the dining room. All words to the effect: bad first impression. My advice to Bacio--stop trying to seat more people and seat fewer more comfortably! I started off with a bread dish named after someone associated with the restaurant. It was meant to be baked bread topped with red sauce and melted cheese, but the bread was hard as rock and unpleasant. Whilst sipping the house wine--which is quite good--I waited for my entree as waitresses brushed busily by me. My chicken parm was just that: chicken and parm; alas, no red sauce! This average food was quite expensive, and the "ambience" of the restaurant will seem little more than kitsch to the aesthetically-minded diner. In the end I left Bacio with the old bard's tale in mind: much ado about nothing!" | Matthew Griggs
