    Baci keeps up its excellence year after year. All different dishes are made so well from pasta to meat to fish. The wait staff is attentive. There are plenty of tables and several dining areas. And, there's a separate bar area to the right as you walk in.

    Celebrated a beautiful birthday meal today at Baci's. Everything was perfect. Food, service and ambiance was in my top 5 favorites of all time in San Diego. Our Waiter, Alexander, was a replica to the butler in Downtown Abbey series, Mr. Carter. It doesn't get any better than that. Patricia K. San Diego
