Il Bacio - Atlanta

While staying close, at a hotel for the weekend, we found this bit of a whole in the wall place .... and loved it! The kids both had spaghetti and meatballs. We ordered a large pizza, a Calzone, the two kids spaghetti. The atmosphere is nice, very relaxed. The staff friendly, yet leave you alone to eat. The location very convenient and easy to find. Everything was amazing, flavorful, and the service perfect. Look forward to returning.

Hmmm. Where do I start? My girlfriend I went to this location on 9/29 and ordered a variety of food. This was our first time visiting so we wanted to try a few items. We ordered a 1. Caesar Salad 2. Baked Ziti 3. Calamari 4. Pepperoni Mushroom Calzone 5. Focaccia 6. Marsala Cream Chicken Pasta Upon ordering, there was one man in the front taking orders and there was no one else in the restaurant at the time. As far as hospitality, he wasn 't friendly but he wasn 't mean. Simply put, we knew he didn 't want to be there. The wait was fairly short (15 min. or so). We get home and as soon as I go to open my food, the picture below is what I see. I am in immediate disgust and my partner calls the restaurant to inform them and to discuss a refund for the food. The manager immediately knows what bread we are referring to without us even saying much. She responds by apologizing and here 's the kicker, if I am being honest with you, that bread has just been sitting there for 3 months and I 've been telling them it needs to be thrown out I will have a staff meeting ASAP about this I can assure you that your other food is not contaminated so we won 't give you a refund We politely decline keeping the food and ask if we can bring all of it back for a refund. We were told no because the food is made fresh so the issue with the bread has nothing to do with the other dishes. Um, do you see this bread? If this bread was in your bag of food, would you trust that the rest is magically sanitary. My assumption, that a lawsuit for them is worth compromising someone 's health during this time.

After a struggle to find a new lunch spot in the Buckhead area, we ventured toward Lindbergh, only to stumble upon Il Bacio. Located in the same plaza as a Waffle House and Home Depot, it may get lost but we saw it from the street and decided to stop in. It was a late lunch but there were still several tables finishing up their food. Our server was very nice and friendly. She brought us complimentary bread, which was a flavorful focaccia, which we dipped in I decided to order some pasta since I was craving some red sauce pasta. The Farfalle e Gambaretti sounded tasty so I got a small portion. It was still quite a large portion of pasta, especially after all the bread we ate. The sauce was flavorful and tasty although the unmelted cheese was a bit odd. The risotto options also look pretty great! I'll need to try it next time. The menu offers some great options at a great price. While it's not the fanciest pasta out there, the amount of food for the price is a nice lunch option. I'll definitely need to come back to Il Bacio to try some of their other dining options!

I am not a pizza 'person '. My idea of a good pizza is one from a chain that has a bunch of meat, a solid crust, and costs me like $10 for a large that I can take home and binge Netflix with. If that doesn 't describe you then you 're not going to agree with my review and that 's fine, you know more about pizza than I do. But I happened to be in the parking lot for something else and didn 't want to move my car, so I decided to give a real pie a shot. Let 's start with ambiance. This place is nice! The staff was friendly, the table settings wonderful, it 's full of windows so you can people watch the busy parking lot and it 's fun. I specifically had the Parmese Pizza, which did not mash with me specifically. $15 for a small, but the gorgonzola was just...overpowering. Less works as more here in my inexperienced, uninitiated pizza novice opinion. But I just didn 't like it. The pasta at the table over looked amazing though and I 'll be back to try it. But the pizza wasn 't my favorite.

This place is located across from Home Depot in a plaza like center. The environment is very casual with 4 TV 's in each corner Incase you 'd like to watch sports. I got the medium sized BBQ chicken pizza $17), the crust was perfect for me, crunchy. I also thought the flavor of the pizza was well, it was a little plain of course the recipe is just Bbq, chicken and mozzarella but it was a good plain .. if that makes sense. They didn 't over do it with the BBQ, it was the perfect amount. Our waiter was great as well and they even serve gelato!!
