What our guests are saying
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!
Connor Nunley
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
Susan Germer
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. 🍝✨

Lunch menu was terrific! Bread was nicely toasted, not to crunchy with a side of olive oil. Salad had a good variety of vegetables and was larger than expected as a side. Tried the spinach and ricotta ravioli with bolognese sauce added rich flavor. Overall impressed as a first visit, can’t wait to go back and try more. Maybe for happy hour!

About Us
Established in 2010, Bacco Trattoria and Mozzarella Bar is a unique neighborhood restaurant in North Boulder offering a relaxed, casual atmosphere with authentic Italian food and beverage. The decor is soft and traditional but still carries a theme of Italian culture.
Russell and Michelle moved to Colorado and took the reins in 2018, bringing a "hands on" feel to the restaurant, where staff is like family and guests are like a large circle of friends.
We're open six nights each week, closed on Sundays, so that our staff might have more time with their families. We owe our survival to the local crowd, regular guests and word of mouth advertising.
