Andrea our server was one one the owners and she was very knowledgeable about the wine and food! Her recommendation of the lasagna was spot on!!! Will definitely be a regular customer here. Also heard that on Thursday nights from 5-7 they have wine tasting next door. Hands down the best pizza joint we’ve been to in a while!

What an adorable place on Dixie Hwy. Great pizza and a delicious arugula, goat cheese, walnut salad! We came at 2 and received excellent service. Loved the thin crispy crust–ate every bite. The bar is just lovely and check out their tables made of marble. Nice.

We had an incredible experience at Baci’s in New Smyrna Beach while celebrating my mom’s birthday! We had a large party of 25+ people, and no other restaurant in the area was willing to accommodate us with a reservation (since it was the last weekend of bike week). Baci’s went above and beyond by reserving their entire outside patio and bar area just for our group, which made the celebration feel really special.
Our server, Preston, was absolutely amazing. He took individual orders from everyone in our large party with patience and a great attitude, and somehow managed to deliver all of the food quickly and perfectly. His energy and excitement made the whole experience even better.
The food was fantastic—everything came out fresh, hot, and exactly as ordered. It’s not easy to serve a group our size, but the staff handled it flawlessly.
We’re so grateful for how accommodating and welcoming they were. I would absolutely recommend Baci’s to anyone visiting New Smyrna Beach. 10/10 experience!

We went to Baci Pizzeria and Restaurant for the first time last night. After checking out the outdoor area, the friendly bartender treated us to some trivia and warned us about the no-seeums. Since it was raining, we decided to sit inside. It is a casual restaurant. The interior is eclectic, with black-and-white photos of Italian mobsters and celebrities decorating the walls, plus a small shrine to the founder at one end of the bar. We sat at the bar and played some cribbage.
Our bartender, Caitlyn, was personable, professional, and courteous. We ordered a bottle of Barbera, which was reasonably priced and showed vibrant red-fruit flavors with a touch of spice and smooth tannins and turned out to be a great pairing with our meal.
To start, we had the wood-fired long hot peppers on garlic bread. They were smoky, spicy, and addictive. My wife said we’ll need to order them every time we come back. Caitlyn thought we’d been there before because ordering something like this is a pro move.
For the main course, we shared two 12” pizzas (the size that gets cooked in the wood-fired oven). The Carmine’s Favorite had hot soppressata and long hot peppers over fresh mozzarella, basil, garlic, and parmesan, with the sauce layered on top. It was bold, spicy, and full of flavor. The Arugula Prosciutto pizza was lighter but just as delicious, with silky prosciutto di Parma, peppery arugula, and a touch of sweet balsamic reduction over the classic base of sauce, mozzarella, basil, garlic, and parmesan.
A violinist sat in a chair throughout the evening, playing Beatles tunes and Italian classics like a tarantella and the Godfather theme.
Overall, a fantastic evening of food, wine, and music. Highly recommend!

We had a Delicious Wood fired pizza and it was Wonderful. Went back and had the Lasagna it was Amazing very good. I had the Angel hair Pasta with Marinara Sauce very good too. I must say this Place was so much better then the Garlic on so many levels. The smaller places always seem to definitely will back next trip

We ordered a pizza on the phone, half Hawaiian + bacon and half chicken bacon ranch. It was SO BAD. Dry, chewy and with barely any toppings. Crazy for an almost $30 pizza. So we called back to let them know the pizza was terribly BAD. And they gave us two options. 1. Get another pizza, but the manager told us literally “it’s going to be probably the same, because we would use the same ingredients, and cook it the same way) 2. Drive all the way back to the restaurant, give them more than half of the pizza back. So that THEN THEY COULD RETURN OUR MONEY BACK. That should be illegal. To have a “policy” like that? And they said it’s like that because they are a small business. SO DISAPPOINTING! Never again. Please save your money here. You will end up like us HUNGRY AND MAD!

We love this spot! It has a neighborhood, family-run feel to it… the pizza is excellent (especially the white pizza with gobs of ricotta cheese on top) and we enjoy their pastas too. The eggplant parm does have a lot of breading on it but some people like it that way I imagine. Donna was a wonderful server; very friendly and welcoming and made us feel at home. A wonderful spot for tasty Italian in NSB. Great wine selection, too!

Look I’m not food critic. I went here with my wife and our friend. Small wait, no biggie it was busy. We eventually sat down at out table with out drinks in hand. The waitress was nice, obviously very busy, no overall problems. We ordered and a short time later out food arrived. I had the chicken parm. Now look overall the food was ok. My problem is I’m a little more picky with my Italian food. The chicken itself was not hot. Here’s my take, I believe the parm is made ahead of time along with the pasta. The pasta was all coated with sauce as that too was previously made. So I’m guessing here, the cooks scooped out some pasta on a plate, threw a couple pieces of chicken on it and out it went. I ate a little of the chicken and a few pieces of the pasta. Since the dish was not hot and freshly made I probably won’t be back.

This is genuinely the best pizza I’ve had in years. I’m not native to the area I’m originally from PA and I work in a pizza shop back at home. I thought it couldn’t get any better than back home but this place managed to exceed my expectations massively. You can taste the love and care in every bite and the staff is very kind and humble. 10/10 I will definitely bc back on my next trip down to Florida.

We’ve been eating here for years and never had an issue until tonight. We ordered food for pickup as usual and when I got it home I noticed a small roach like bug crawl out of the bag. My stuffed shells weren’t completely cooked (see picture), I had also ordered meat sauce (which is an upcharge) and I wasn’t given meat sauce. My husband is going to be calling a complaining but I felt as though I needed to put it here also. It’s been awhile since we’ve eaten here and I don’t think we’ll be back after this experience.
