Authentic Italian food in a casual, relaxing setting with great wine! Fabulous experience. We had our family's wedding rehearsal dinner here and we were very happy with the way it turned out. The owners were so helpful in helping us plan the menu and all the details. They were attentive during the event and made sure everything flowed. Excellent management and so easy to work with. Highly recommend for private group events -ours was 25 people. Five thumbs up.

First time customer, had reservations and was seated promptly by China. It took sometime for the food to arrive, but when it did, I was excited to sample the Scallops Martell and the plate presentation was beautiful. I enjoyed my meal but not fully. I was a bit disappointed that the scallops were on the tough side. Thank you for your food service.

I live a half a mile from this restaurant but hadn't gone yet. Everything was amazing. We went early so we got right in. The ambiance is very comfortable and chic, the service was amazing and the food was fabulous! I went with my mom and she got the filet mignon - I got the eggplant parmesan and we started with the caprese. We also had a house margarita and prosecco. (Thursday nights is half off bubbly drinks 🥂). I asked the chef to come out to give him compliments. I don't do that often, but everything was perfect. Amy was our server and Beto was the chef. Clearly if you've read this far, you will know that I 100% recommend Bistro Baffi!

We've been driving by this restaurant for years and didn't know we were passing a hidden gem! We went for date night, which proved to be a fabulous choice: outdoor seating, delicious freshly baked rosemary bread and cocktails, followed by flavorful main entrees and dessert. If you love seafood, try the maccaroni with lobster or scallops with angel hair, and tiramisu for dessert. You will leave satisfied! Attentive service too...we will definitely be back.

The food was excellent. However the organization between the FOH staff and the kitchen lacked serious communication. My wife and I dined. They took about 30 mins between seating us and taking our order. Then 30 minutes until only ONE of our meals arrived. It got cold while it took another 20 mins for my wife's food to arrive. They forgot our appetizers. They were very nice and apologetic but it would have been nice if they took off some of the bill since I ate a cold dinner. This would have been avoided if the kitchen brought out both meals at the same time. I think that's more important than the wait. And I understand it was short-staffed, which is fine. Also, to be seated close to the entrance... there was a cold draft coming in the entire time. Maybe a threshold or a curtain would have really helped.
Aside from my complaints, the food was amazing.

Delicious! Calm environment, relaxing and wonderful food! Great services too.
Update (4 years later) I came back here and hoping to get good food then found out they got new owner… I’m sad to say “They took the name but did not take the flavor” ordeal. Thus why I am keeping the original post with the updated comment. Not worth it anymore. So sad

My first sign of things to come was the lack of people there on a Friday night. Then the food. A Ceasar salad is a simple thing so not much could go wrong. It general it was just disappointing. Mostly chunks of romaine that get discarded at other establishments and nothing particularly nice that would override the slight disappointment. Fine, I suppose but not enthusiastic about the rest of the meal. The butternut squash ravioli came out with 5 pieces on the plate. Luckily that was my lady's choice or I would have gone hungry. I had a rigatoni dish that was decent until I bit into a piece of sausage that made me feel the need to spit it out or risk illness. Its undesirable to spend over $200 for 4 people to eat and spend the rest of the night wondering if you'll be sick soon. Overall I wouldn't be back and I suspect the empty restaurant on a Friday night is a sign that others have had a similar experience.

This was the best Bruschetta, steak, and tiramisu I've ever had. If I could rate them 6 stars, I would! In addition to that, our waitress, Marina, was the only one serving a very busy restaurant, and she was wonderful! We got all our food at the perfect time. I can't recommend this place enough!!
