ABOUT
Baci Ristorante is more than San Diego's best Italian restaurant. It's a neighborhood friendy gathering place where people from various culture and economic classes find the same comfort and pleasure. I think of it as"cheers" with fabulous food. Nobody in town can do fish better than Mimo, Tony's brilliant chef. When your there check out the framed photograph that Anthony Quinn, another Baci fan presented to Tony. Baci's it's wonderful!
