Bacchanalia Ristorante: Reviews & Ratings
Umm okay where do I start. After being kicked out of one restaurant that pissed my family off in Missouri that served, I kid you not ice cold steaks...we arrive here! This place is a flipp'in gem! It was a little bit of an uber drive from Little Italy but soooo worth it. After moving to Austin from the Chicago area this place was a welcome, warm, family run small restaurant. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful the service was and the prices were great. They have a a full bar and the place is cute as hell. Now on to the food......ummmmmmmm it so reminded me of the food my Grandmother would make (she was a fantastic Italian cook). I had the Lasagna ( if you like lasagna normally just don't think about it and order this!!!) My husband ordered Veal Scallopini (I don't eat Veal, but he does and his eyes rolled to the back of his head it was so good). We also had salads and yes the Italian dressing was yummy! To finish I had homemade tiramisu (pictured) OMG yes just like grandma's. This little gem is off the beaten path but it's worth it. If I could give this place 12 stars I would...so homey, it hugs your soul. Sorry ate all of my tiramisu, couldn't grab the camera fast enough.....it was that good!
After 40 years of being a customer, it is still my favorite restaurant. The best vesuvio Dishes in the world. If you are looking for excellent food and friendly service, this is your place( not to mention reasonably priced). A wonderful family business.
Always a fabulous visit- Sunday when they 1st opened - welcomed with smiles Lisa was the best. Read the room/ meaning she could tell 3 girlfriends wanted to talk Everything was delicious and of course the lasagna my favorite! Lots to take home- we had baked clams- caprese salad , whitefish and ravioli - just the best if you want amazing food- the best staff and owners that are engaged! Thank you!
Atmosphere was amazing, the food was out of this world, and the server was on top of everything ( Dante)!! Thanks for all of the suggestions! Ant K. *****
There needs to be more restaurants like Bacchanalia in Chicago. A classic, family run, hidden gem! The food here is so delicious, and such generous portions. Great for sharing! My favorites are the baked clams, sausage and peppers, rigatoni vodka, and chicken vesuvio!
Bacchanalia has the feel of a simple neighborhood restaurant, with great service and amazing food. We had the pizza bread, calamari, lasagna, and spinach gnocchi with vodka sauce. All of these dishes were great, but the stand out was the gnocchi. The gnocchi was stuffed with spinach! This was definitely a surprise. We've never had gnocchi like this before. It was great. Super light and fluffy, nice texture, not chewy. I would get this every time. The lasagna was also very good, but a tad salty for me. We ended the meal with the tiramisu, which we didn't love. It seemed like there was a chocolate sauce and some other substitute for the cocoa powder and mascarpone. Overall, it was a great meal. We'll definitely be back!
Amazing food! We came for New Year's Eve. Fun fact: This place was where we spent our first NYE, so we were so happy to come back almost five years later. Our server was great. She listened to us, understood what we wanted, and thus responded us with great recommendations based on what we shared we liked. I had the NYE special (linguini with lobster) while my boyfriend ordered baked shells. The sauce that came with my dish was super delicious: I really wanted to come home with the sauce. The baked shells was really cheesy and the Chianti wine paired well with my dish. It was such a cute nice place. We enjoyed our time here and plan to come back for the summer!

This place is great! My friends were visiting from out of town this past weekend and I remembered this place from years ago. It is a neighborhood gem in little Italy area that is worth visiting. I forgot about the large portions and how great the food is here! If I could give it 10 stars I would. The waitress (entire staff) was very friendly , attentive and made our visit enjoyable. Everyone ordered a different meal and every single bite was delicious! The house Chianti and Tiramisu was really good as well. Definitely will not stay away so long next time!
