The most authentic, delicious, fresh Italian food I’ve ever had! They were so friendly and also very accommodating for my celiac disease. They made sure everything was separate for me. And the ambience was perfect, we could hear each other talk. Definitely coming again!

I was visiting Barrie with my friends and we were looking for an Italian restaurant to try, Bacio Trattoria was our option and I’m glad we found it, very friendly staff, the pizza is one of the best I’ve ever had and the pistachio ice cream was very creamy and perfect flavour. Definitely coming back

Tried this place last night with my wife. Small family run restaurant. We were warmly greeted upon entering. Great service and a cozy setting. Would recommend to turn the lighting down slightly. My wife had the Cacio Pepe and it was fantastic. I had the chicken parmigiana and it was also cooked very well. The chicken was nice and juicy with a crispy coating that didn’t pull away which is good. Pasta side dish was very tasty. I highly recommend this location for your next pasta fix

This is my new favorite restaurant in Barrie. Come here if you want authentic Italian food. I emphasis authentic because people looking for East Side Mario's and olive garden shouldn't come here. They actually cook the dishes correctly and properly as intended, utilizing simple local ingredients and actually cooking the flavours into the food, not just overloading everything with butter and sauce. On top of the food being incredible, they treat you like family here. The service is amazing and the atmosphere is lively. I am excited to visit Barrie again soon just so I can try the pizza here next. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

In my most sincere opinion I can say that the Bacio Trattoria is the only place where I feel at home because of the kind treatment of all its staff, especially the owner, who is always present and attentive to the needs of all its guests. The atmosphere is perfect for any occasion, it is as if time stops when you are here because you feel comfortable, as if you were in your own home. Adding that the food here is incredible, their pizzas have a unique flavor, the pastas are always just right, the desserts and in particular the tiramisu with its exquisite flavor that I always order before leaving. I can conclude that for those who are looking for quiet, accessible places with a wide variety of delicious food, then this is the place to visit.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We had a great experience at Bacio, the menu has so many delicious items to choose from! They offer house wine 1/2 L and 1L options, reasonably priced. The food was delicious! Generous portions as well. Friendly and attentive service. It was exactly what we needed after a day of skiing. Definitely recommend!

This place is amazing! We love it 🥰 is the place that we go for special occasions, hopefully we can make it as a more regular place, however is not cheap but you pay for what you get! We love William the chef! He is so innovating and creative with his food, he infused it with different things and taste and flavours that you can’t be bored of the same old recipes. Staff is amazing they will take care of you all the time you are there. My husband and I have been there several times and never disappointed of anything! Make sure you have an appointment as the location is small which make it more exclusive!

Very friendly owner, she made me feel like I was back in Italy! The pizza was amazing and the dough was baked perfectly! My partner ordered lasgana and he loved the freshness of it! I ordered the seafood linguine and switched the sauce to a buttery wine sauce, the seafood medley tasted frozen, but the portion size was perfect! We will definitely go back to try the mushroom pasta and other pizzas on the menu :)

Hands the best Italian food I ve had in southern Ontario ever. Nobody has even come close to this. Had the chicken parm with spaghetti and rose, and the gnocchi carbonara. I m at a loss for a specific description, it was just perfect, I wouldn t change a thing. Their commitment to doing things properly really shows in the flavours of everything I had. I can t wait to try the rest of their menu.

Chef Francesca at Bacio Trattoria cooks the most authentic Italian food in Barrie. You will be transported to Italy when you visit! We went for our wedding anniversary a few days ago and had the most delicious Beef Carpaccio, Burrata, Pasta Carbonara, and Egg Pasta with cherry tomatoes followed by Baba au Rhum with Gelato for dessert. All paired with a very nice Caposaldo Chianti. The food and service were meraviglioso! Vegetarian options: Chef Francesca will accommodate vegetarians. Its best to let her know when you book your reservation. Parking: Free street parking after 5 pm on weekdays and all day on weekends and holidays. Paid street parking 9-5 on weekdays.

THE BAD: Servers are rude and assume you know everything on their menu... Some of the utensils were not clean and had left over food residue The entire place smells like a old gym locker. And worst of all... The food. Ordered garlic cheese bread, waiter brought some platter with everything EXCEPT garlic cheese bread. and when me and my daughter ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo the sauce was literally like water... And tasted bad. The Good: Nothing Absolutely nothing.

Simply awful. I brought my son who wanted some Italian. He wanted Eastside Marios but I suggested local, family owned, you know, legit. But was I wrong. We were greeted by a very friendly young man and were quickly situated in our table, the table was sticky from poor cleaning, mind you it was 4:00pm on Sunday and had just opened for dinner service, immediately after we were offer focacia bread, that was a very nice gesture and I do appreciate that, but the bread was hard and cold as if being left outside for hours. It would have immensely benefited from having it warmed a few seconds on the oven (if they have one, I doubt). We were offered a garaffe of water and served water by another young man, that was nice too, no issues here, menus were brought promptly and we were made to feel welcome, so despite the cold, stale bread, and tacky tabletop things were moving along at a reasonable pace given the fact the place was empty and the atmosphere sterile from the lack of trattoria minucia, which the establishment fancies itself to be. So we dive in to discover what goods we could find on the menus selection. My son immediately discover a typo which was a bit of fun thing to see him do as Ive never seen him do that before. A minor thing that could and happens more often than not. OJ JIUCE. Well he is all for lasagna and I was very excited to find black truffle linguini. After deciding on our entrees I asked the server about the truffle pasta if it was sliced table side. The answer was not, rather it was a paste sauce dish, so despite my better judgment I consented cus I have not had blk truffle dish in a while. My son ordered the OJ JIUCE and I order the 9oz Masi Pinot Grigio a personal favorite. And well this is where things just went to the crapper quickly. We got our drinks by yet another person, no fault here on part of the restaurant they had expected a table of seven that canceled last minute as told by our server in passing, the lady from the bar was strangely shaky and I couldnt understand what she shaked so much. At any rate we had our drinks and my son tasted his OJ and was surprised how sweet it was and offered me to try it. I did, it was from the big box store and not what you would expect from a restaurant that is charging top dollar for OJ. My $13 dl glass of pilot grigio was watered down I swear it was, or at least was not Masi. So Im already not happy but I only see my son once a week and dont want to ruin the mood we had going on through the day. 15 mins and food arrives, again timing is good no issues here, but the shaking lady is so uncomfortable with her own job is pain to watch. The plates are placed and immediately Im trying really hard hold my disappointment, she offers grated parmesan cheese, which is not real parmesan, perhaps a locally made pecorino and nothing to with Grana Padano, the pasta, a mountain worth, Is a papardelle with regular sliced Zeta buton mushrooms, cold and watery. I mean watery, no sauce, no paste to be found. It is not only cold and undercooked, the pasta breaks in my mouth as if eating wet cardbox. It has been more that 18 years since I return a dish. Well today was that day. I was not willing to pay $38. For a deficient dish. I call our server and tell him the dish is not on par. He asked if there was something wrong to wish I answered ten things but just didnt like it and wanted to take it back. Well to no surprise the owner who all the white was sitting at the end of the bar micromanaging the 4 members of her staff came right away to ask ( rather correct me) what was wrong with the dish. I told her it was undercooked, watery, and no paste was found on the sauce (if you can call that a sauce) After being educated on her imaginary saviness we were left alone and allow to sip my insipid wine, while son very affected by my sudden reaction took to eating his again sauce starved lasagna. Dont even get me started on the Lasagna suffice to say that I felt awful for my son and he just finished his dish as fast as possible. At the end the bill was $57 +$10tip

The eggplant panini is all that I hoped for (I barely see eggplant being offered in panini) and it was nicely breaded. I enjoyed the slight crunch in the sandwich! I never got to go in but my family members said the owner of the restaurant was really nice and took the time to give recommendations. Edit: I finally got to dine in here! My family members were not wrong, the staff and the chef here are extremely friendly. We found out that the seafood platter was not available during our day of visit because the crabs and lobsters shipment has not arrived, but the chef came out and told us he could adjust the pricing and customize the seafood platter just for us, which was honestly so nice of him. The seafood platter is a bang for your buck. Most seafood platters are pretty straightforward and bland, but the chef really made the flavoring and spices interesting in a good way! (The oysters especially) Not only did the chef make our dining out experience pleasant, he also gave us a small gift to bring back home, ensuring that dining-in is just as exciting. I have been using the spice blend everyday and it goes well with everything. Many thanks!

I do not recommend Bacio Trattoria for a few reasons. The prices are decent, the food was ok. But the blonde hair manager/owner? woman absolutely ensured we would never return. I ve never had the displeasure of experiencing someone treat us so horribly. My husband ordered the gnocchi carbonara and the guinciale was burnt so bad the meat pieces were solidly hard. She asked how our meal was and politely my husband told her that mine was good but his however was not. She says that s how the dish is supposed to be cooked, which if that s how you believe it should be done, fine. We don t believe that and thought the dish was poor and not prepared properly. While she removed the item from our bill, we were spoken to so rudely and made to feel shamed that we didn t enjoy her burnt garbage. One bad dish wouldn t deter me from coming back but what can is knowing my money is going to a horribly unpleasant and appalling person. Being yelled at and spoken to in a confrontational manner when it was not warranted is completely unacceptable. Do yourself a favour and try Il Buco for good Italian food in Barrie.

A taste of Italy right in Barrie! My husband and I went to Italy last summer and we were reminded of the culture and food at Bacio. The food was absolutely delicious - the focaccia was so soft, the pasta noodles were the perfect al dante, and the margherita pizza is one of the BEST I ve ever had (and I get one at every Italian restaurant); it was especially the best local margherita pizza hands down! The atmosphere is welcoming, including a visit from the head chef/owner. I can t believe we haven t tried Bacio sooner. We will definitely be back!

We recently enjoyed a wonderful lunch at this restaurant. The fare is Italian with antipasti, pizza, panini, tremezzini and pasta courses available for lunch. I ordered a prosciutto panini which was accompanied by a house salad which was absolutely delicious and my husband chose a pasta with guanciale in a rose sauce which he also enjoyed. The wait person was quite pleasant and efficient and the food arrived quickly. We will definitely return to this lovely restaurant.

Food was incredible, perfectly balanced ingredients. The whole cloves of roasted garlic in the Penne Asiago was sooooo good. The chef came and offered us drinks on the house after our meal. He was very personable and shared his very own blend of seasoning salt for us to take home. I ve never been to a restaurant before like this that I felt the passion of the chef face to face like this. Will be back for certain and will bring friends. I highly recommend

The service was deplorable. So slow. Was close to 15 minutes before we got served a cocktail. Got our meals finally and waited 15 minutes before the wine showed up. The mussels were cold and the pennelavodka tasted like it came out of a can of Heinz s spaghetti. Dirty plates stayed on the table until we finally cleared them away ourselves and left then on top of the bar.The lamb was good apparantly but the only thing that was good in my opinion was the bread. But you cannot fill up on that now can you. Will never go back.

December 21, 2023

If I could give zero stars for this place I would. My partner and I went here for dinner expecting it to be amazing, but it has gone absolutely down hill. The pasta was flavourless and dry, with absolutely no seasoning. The same story goes for my meal except that they tried to season it with what seemed like a pound of salt. We spent over $100 for a meal I could have got at east side Mario s, and probably would have been better there. Absolutely will not be going back here and would not recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic food and service. Both our server and the chef were extremely friendly and took the time to greet us and make recommendations. Let me start with their complementary cheese bread appetizer. It was baked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Expectations were high across the table after the cheese bread and I m happy to say there was no disappointment to follow. The pizza crusts were amazing and had great flavour. The pastas were perfectly al dente and very consistently so (yes I stole a bite from everyone s plate because everything looked so good). Bacio Trattoria clearly holds itself to a high standard both in terms of food and service. I look forward to returning and supporting this gem of a local business.

If you want a true, real deal Italian meal this is the best place to visit in the GTA. Toronto does not have a single establishment that is as close in terms of food quality and service. Very authentic and everything made from scratch. The restaurant is cozy and welcoming, classy, and very clean. Francesca and Will who run the establishment are amazing people and could not have asked for better service. Next time I m around the area I will be making a return. 5/5 keep it up.

Everything that could go wrong went wrong. Lets start with the booking. I made the reservation two weeks in advance. As of Saturday, the date of the reservation, I got a phone call around 2:30 asking if I could move the 6:30 reservation up an hour since they had a party of 30 for 7:00. I said yes but in hindsight should have cancelled. As for the meal the Veal Marsala was very tough, cut thick, and full gristle as shown in my photo. Didnt want to complain, just wanted to get the Hell out.

Service was excellent and rapid, no wait time between the time the cook put it on the shelf and the time it was on the table. It was great to hear the cooks laughing and discussing with the servers.
