Bar Bacetto - Waitsburg (WA)

5 /5 Nicholas Egan: Hands down one of the best meals and dining experiences our group has had in a long time. We were greeted by Erin, one of the owners, and made to feel right at home. Tyler our bartender and server was a true delight and walked us through the menu and made suggestions (he suggested we get everything for our group of 4 and we did!). The food and drinks were stellar and the chef came out to speak with us. It was like they all invited us over for a family meal. I would definitely go back when in the area next and this should be on your bucket list (or rotation!). Do yourself a favor and get a reservation now.

5 /5 Katherine Shaw: Second time visiting and I’ll be back! The food is delicious and fresh, and the whole team are warm and friendly. Felt right at home. I’ll be bringing my friends next time so we can order EVERYTHING. Don’t skip dessert.

5 /5 David Kelley: Intentional. Flavorful. Joy. These are the words that describe our wonderful dining experience! We were received like family and treated as such, intentionally. With an 18 person limit, the Chef and his elite team of warm, personable “friends” were able to perform their functions with joy…you could see it in their every move. The menu is salad and pasta, how complex could it be? Shut your mouth right there and eat. The flavors in the pasta (truffle with black garlic) make you stop, slow down and wonder how it’s possible. There’s a good chance the Chef is seeing your reaction, reinforcing his joy. The availability of N/A drinks is a nice touch too, an intentional highlight designed to make everyone feel at home. Then there’s that panna cotta, good grief. They serve it with tiny spoons so you don’t look a fool slurping it down…it’s another flavor bomb. Bar Bacetto has set the bar for us. There’s no other place worth the time.

5 /5 Kevin Wagner: Was told their focaccia is *chef’s kiss* but truly enjoyed everything! Prosciutto paired with burrata were perfect, decadent truffle handmade pasta. Will surely return. Thanks for taking care of us, Tyler!

5 /5 A. J.: Spectacular. Erin, Chef, and team make each visit a wonderful experience with the food and service. We ate at Evan Funke’s Tre Dita in Chicago last year and while that was excellent, we prefer Bacetto, both for food and atmosphere. We have been three times to Bacetto, and each plate every visit sources a smile as the flavor exceeds expectations as does their welcoming environment and kindness. Make reservations, stay at the Royal Block, buy the menu and share plates to taste it all.
