Elevated Italian cuisine served in a casually elegant dining room or on the outdoor patio.

The food was just fabulous!!! I almost don’t want to share with others it was so good. The wait staff was friendly and provided excellent recommendations and service. It was absolutely worth the drive and likely my go to for Italian dining.

We arrived late, just 15 minutes before closing. It was clear they were shutting down with no other customers present, and told us the kitchen was closing.
We understood and asked for another nearby recommendation, instead they seated our family and served a fantastic meal. My daughter got a kick out of a dish that shared her name. They were very accommodating and the food was great, with large portions. Thank you for going the extra mile when you didn’t have to.

Authentic Italian cuisine in Anaheim, California! This is a new favorite restaurant in Anaheim! The food is amazing! Being Italian and being raised in Italy its always great to find a restaurant that does it right! Baci is one of those restaurants. The spaghetti sauce took me back to my Italian grandmother’s house!!! The menu is extensive and there is something for everyone. I asked if they could prepare one of my favorite dishes, penne arrabbiata that was not on the menu and it was perfect. The food was not only authentic, it was fresh and served hot. The staff was great and I really enjoyed talking with the owner. The service was fast and the waiter was very helpful. The restaurant offers indoor and patio dining. There is plenty of parking. Baci Italian is a great place for a date, a business lunch or a family gathering. I will definitely be back whenever I’m back in Anaheim.

Baci is truly a hidden gem in Anaheim — an authentic Italian restaurant that delivers excellence in every way. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm hospitality that immediately makes you feel like part of the family. The service is impeccable — professional, attentive, and genuinely caring without ever being intrusive.
The food is simply outstanding. Every dish is crafted with top-quality ingredients and a clear passion for Italian cuisine. The pasta is perfectly al dente, the sauces are rich and balanced, and the seafood dishes taste incredibly fresh. The wine selection complements the menu beautifully, and the desserts are the perfect finishing touch to an unforgettable meal.
Baci isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a full dining experience that reminds you what premium service and fine food should feel like. Whether for a romantic evening, a family celebration, or an elegant business dinner, Baci sets the standard for excellence.
Highly recommended — a true taste of Italy right here in Orange County!

We came here for a date night on a Wednesday and there were only a few other tables occupied, so it was nice and quiet.
The fresh pasta is AMAZING! We went to Italy earlier this year, and since coming back, all “Italian” food here has been very average, but Baci tastes just like Italy! My husband loved the cheesecake as well.
It was well worth the 45 minute drive on the toll road to come here. We will definitely be back!

Took a small order to go. Their marinara here is absolutely incredible, an Old World slow reduction. Great with their amazing meatballs (just wish they had a larger appetizer-size Buca meatball to go with their perfect red sauce). Friendly staff, generous people.

The atmosphere is very nice and the staff was extremely friendly. Service was great. All of the food was good but not fresh in Italy great. Definitely worth a trip. Serving size was a little small on the ravioli. Overall it’s priced pretty fairly for what you receive.

I would give the food 3.5 stars but due to the long wait for good, I’m removing 1 star. We were seated at 7pm. By 8pm, our entree still have not arrived. This is after the server told us our food is coming up 15 minutes ago. We ordered the garlic bread. It was just okay. The lobster bisque was a major disappointment! Instead if lobster chunks, they put sausage chunks in it. The lobster risotto was good! The crepes was just so-so in my opinion. I would say the only the desserts were at par. Overall, it’s a decent and cozy place but I wouldn’t visit again if I don’t already have a reservation.

This little restaurant was a pleasant surprise. The food was fantastic. I had the gnocchi and she had the lobster risotto. Both were superb. The staff was friendly and attentive. We were worried when we turned into a strip mall and saw the restaurant, but once inside the ambience was pleasant. We sat outside and completely forgot we were at a strip mall! Indoors it was what you’d expect for a local family restaurant. The food was much better than you’d expect for a local family restaurant!

Food has no taste. Plain. We have a developed palate and we are use to sophisticate and original Italian food. BTW we got stomach sick, not too bad though. But we won’t come back. Paid $76 for 2 entrees and 1 breadstick appetizer (breadsticks were bad). Red sauce tasted like from a can, Not fresh made.
