Bacio review by Sara

If you like genuine family run restaurants with tasty, freshly cooked food at reasonable prices in goodd sized portions in a unique, relaxing and convivial atmosphere then Bacio is the place for you. Don't expect to be waited on hand and foot, do expect it to be very natural, we had the wrong wine brought to us and my meal came, unexpectedly, with clams, which I am allergic to. The owners, an Italian husband and English wife team, who were waiting on us all, could not have been more apologetic and quickly remedied the situation bringing the right wine and fershly cooking me some more squid, with some spinach instead of the clams, that I could barely finish after my delicious starter of asparagus gratinated with parmesan cheese. My parents's dishes of avocado, mozarella and tomato followed by lamb cutlets and wild mushrroms cooked in garlic on rocket followed by veal, both main meals served with perfectly cooked fresh and simply served vegetables were equally well presented and delicious and we left feeling comfortably full but not bloated. If I lived closer this is the kind of place I would go to regularly of an evening for a plate of pasta and glass of wine to read my book on a quiet evening - exactly what many locals apparently do. My only suprise was how quiet this little gem of a find was on a friday evening. GO but when you are theer enjoy it's unique quirkly atmosphere and good value real food and don't get upset when it's not Conran-style service!
