BACI
RISTORANTÉ
Dockside at Turtle Cove
BACI RISTORANTÉ, 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 underlit palms
cast shadows and colourful reflections
over the water and their gentle sway-
ing 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 tanta-
lising 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 ap-
petiser, sliced beef tenderloin pounded
paper thin with capers, lemon and a fab-
ulous 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 excel-
lent staff always make your dining experi-
ence an enjoyable one.
Baci also serves lunch on their
shaded terrace Monday through Friday.
The full menu including pizza is available
for take-out.
