BACI RISTORANTE, a small intimate Italian restaurant, is nestled along the quiet waters of Turtle Cove. For your fine dining pleasure there are tables set both inside and out with soft music playing in the background and a beautiful ocean breeze. Starlight twinkle adds an element of romance to the terraced outdoor dining area as does the draping scarlet pink bougainvillaea, that perfect infusion of tropical colour. Tall under lit palms cast shadows and colourful reflections over the water and their gentle swaying fronds add a sense of security to the open sky.
Just inside the decorative iron grill entrance is Baci’s bar, a long sweeping and substantial entity that one expects in an Italian eatery, always a great spot for meeting friends, enjoying a few drinks and chatting awhile. John Draper, owner, is always there to greet you at the entrance as well as the tantalising aroma of freshly made garlic bread. He will ensure that every minute of your evening is exactly as expected. He also lets you know that if what you’re looking for is not on the menu he’ll do his very best with what’s in house to come as close as possible. Daily specials, not to be found on the regular menu, are always an excellent choice.
Be sure to try the Beef Carpaccio appetiser, sliced beef tenderloin pounded paper thin with capers, lemon, a fabulous olive oil and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese. It is fantastic! The Brick Oven fresh made pizza is among the best you’ll find on island. John and his excellent staff always make your dining experience an enjoyable one.
Baci Ristorante also serves lunch on their shaded terrace Monday through Friday. The full menu including pizza is available for take-out.
