Al Bacio - Winter Park

We paid 25 dollars to get there with the taxi, and there was a handwritten sign on the door that said closed to further. the open table made the booking into a restaurant that looked like it had been closed a past.

Al bacio is closed for business. not to declare a note on the door.

We have died in al bacio for 3 times in the last 6 months, twice with guests and once on their own faust. every time the food was excellent: expertly prepared, delicious and made with the freshest ingredients. from the appetizer to dessert, eating was consistently excellent. the interior is fresh, clean, comfortable and attractive. Unfortunately, the service is best described as “indifferent”. during each visit we have waited much longer than acceptable to be greeted by our server, and need to request for simple things like drinks, brot and appetizer several times before they are produced. we no longer wait for the delicious entrees. but we are thinking when you get out much earlier than the others, and that's what happened with each of our visits. the server never seems to think that this is a problem since there is never an apology. in the did the server sometimes seem uncomfortable by the customer in any way. you get the impression that they do not seem to care when the restaurant is successful. in the did we never found the restaurant to be overcrowded, even on a Friday night. it is a scandal as eating is really exemplary, and the cook makes an amazing job. eating is obviously the only reason why we returned after the first visit. but we are a little fired to bring the guests at least not without a big disclaimer. be warned when they go: eating is wonderful, the service is not so much.

We just love eating the service, the scenic environment, etc. thank you.

The food at this restaurant was delicious but the service left something to be desired. We had to ask for refills of water and when he did refill the glasses, he only refilled half of the table and didn’t come back until we asked for the rest to be filled. My daughter wanted chicken Parmesan, but wanted the chicken grilled. He seemed to have difficulty understanding what she wanted. We asked for bread, after asking three times, he brought out exactly 8 half pieces for our table of 8. After a while he brought out another basket, which we didn’t ask for and then charged for that. We had friends in from out of state and picked this restaurant on Park Ave to take them to. Though the food was prepared very well, the service certainly took away from it.
