Cafe Baci - Westbury

3.5 stars Finally came here with my husband after deciding to make the trip to LI from Brooklyn to go shopping at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's and wanted to have an adult meal without the baby while running errands. It was bustling on Tuesday afternoon around lunchtime. Though we were seated right away, there was no lunch menu offered this particular day. There is complimentary bread offered that was like focaccia, but not exactly had sauce and some pieces of onions. After seeing a few things on the menu we wanted to try, we settled on the Saporite (chicken, spinach, vodka sauce and melted cheese and the Lobster Ravioli. It's hard to find a good one, but I took my chances. Honestly, it was really just cheese ravioli with shrimp and vegetables on top. I was not impressed by them, but the sauce was good and the shrimp and vegetables worked so even though it was 6 pcs for $28, the toppings left me full after I was done. My husband thought his Saporite was okay also, good, but not like amazing, but it did hit that yummy hot pasta feel. I tried some and it was good, but something about it felt commercial. For drinks I ended up getting a strawberry lemonade that they use strawberry puree for, though it looked like pink coloring, but it was good and exactly what I wanted. Overall the service was fine, our waitress was serving a lot of tables so she was more in and out, but overall everything was fine. I'm thinking the main draw is the large portions that can be packed up (but not the lobster ravioli . I would come back to try something else before making any finals decisions :

Finally tried Cafe Baci after living five minutes away for the last 8 years and am now kicking myself for going here before. My wife and I just finished lunch and it couldn't have been more delicious. Very fairly priced lunch specials and wine as well. Pasta was cooked perfectly; bread service was great as well.

I used to frequent back in early 1990"s and after years went there recently for a business meeting No wonder this place survived so many downturns ... food us still amazing and as authentic as it was back in hay days... Kudos Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
