Bacco Trattoria Italiana - Lacey

Wow! What an amazing experience. I will definitely be returning here for date night.

We made reservations for my birthday last night, and it was absolutely wonderful. Our server, Kristi, was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. She was a true delight and helped make my birthday feel special. The food was fantastic, and I can't wait to return and try something new. Thank you, Bocca!

I recently discovered Bocca’s, which has to be, without a doubt, the best Southern Italian trattoria in Washington. I stumbled upon it while searching online, and my wife and I went there last night, December 3rd. We were pleasantly surprised by the small size of the restaurant but delighted by the enticing aromas wafting from the kitchen. My wife ordered the Sea Bass, and I opted for the Pappardelle with wild boar ragu. We also shared a Caesar salad and arancini. The Sea Bass was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, while the homemade pasta was cooked al dente and paired with a delicious sauce that was indulgently good. I rarely take leftovers home, but between the arancini and the pasta, I was so full that I had to pack up the rest. We also took home another arancini and two homemade cannoli. The arancini and cannoli were the best I've had since my last trip to Sicily and Calabria. The Neapolitan chef truly embodies the spirit of his heritage, with a heart rooted in Calabrese and Sicilian traditions, and he clearly has a passion for Southern Italian cuisine. We plan to eat there at least once a week from now on. Make sure to make a reservation, as it gets very crowded!

The food was great. Real authentic Italian, which I haven’t had since the east coast. The gnocchi and spaghetti with meatball were excellent. The waitress was very professional. The chef thanked us as we walked out. Grazie Bacco Trattoria!!

This is hands down the best Italian restaurant around. The food is stellar the staff is amazing and friendly. They are knowledgeable and helpful. The chef is wonderful. I don't like gnocchi but their Gnocchi Tartufata is so good I come back for more. The Pollo Marsala is full of flavor and the chicken is juicy. The chicken and mushroom straccetti is amazing too. For dessert, I've never liked tiramasu. However, theirs is delicious, light fluffy and decadent without being overly rich and sits gently on the stomach. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.
