Bacco | Trattoria & Mozzarella Bar

Edit 2/18/2026: Russell and his team at Bacco definitely made things right during my most recent visit. The pasta was all cooked perfectly! I can't say enough about how excellent the service and food is at Bacco. Definitely a Boulder small business I will be continuing to support and recommend! So my wife and I love ordering from Bacco on date nights when we arent feeling like going out and usually we get the same thing. She gets the papardelle boscaiola and I get the chicken parmigiana. Before tonight we have never had serious complaints but this is the second time in a row that we have ordered and the papardelle in her pasta was undercooked. Last time, it was just barely shy of al dente so we gave it a pass. However, this time was disappointing because most of her noodles were stuck tog

Great quality food, very generous portions, huge menu. I travel a lot and I don't see this quality dining anywhere. Staff is very friendly and accommodating as is the owner/operator. Everyone we bring here, loves this place. Very highly recommend!! Steve B. Boulder County

Food: best chicken parm and handmade pasta I’ve ever had. I substituted pappardelle for penne and Arabiatta for Alfredo. Salads were excellent as were the charcuterie options. Service: we sat at the bar and loved hanging out with Jessica, the bartender. Atmosphere: great vibe, music and bar seating Highly recommend

Had a good time but thought the food was just okay. For the appetizer the eggplant was tough and rubbery and the Buffalo mozzarella was actually a lil dry (usually the opposite problem). The chicken was swimming in the sauce so was pretty soggy. Pasta alla Norma was pretty yummy.

When you’re craving unpretentious, genuinely excellent Italian food in a cozy, welcoming space that feels like family, Bacco is the place. We love that the owners don’t just serve great meals—they actively support the community by hiring local high school and college students. Perfect for date night, family or friend gatherings, a girls’ night out, or anytime you want to relax, linger, and truly enjoy a meal. 🍝✨
