Bacco’s Fine Foods

Food is top notch and service is incredibly friendly. Prices can be a tad high or inconsistent (sometimes can feel like you’re getting a deal, other times certain things are priced too high to even consider), but given the food and service quality, well worth it.

I come here regularly for lunch and the adjoining store for beer and wine. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Fresh food. Always tasty. Definitely recommend.

Popular spot for my work to head to for a good sandwich or one of their filling specials of the day!
Today I went with the fire side turkey which has roasted turkey, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, mayo and a bacon aoli ! The bacon aoli is a light bacon /​mayo flavor which isn’t over powering so don’t be afraid of it! For bread choices I went with the Rosemary focaccia!
Don’t forget to look at the local cookies and snacks they have up front!

What a delight this and its sister shop are for travelers who have exhausted the many wonderful local restaurant options.
Great staff ready to help.
Get a gourmet dinner to go, then stop next door for a tasting and choose your favorite wine, beer, or cheese to take back to your room.

This is the best spot for healthy high quality food in the area! I get the salmon and two veggie sides after my workouts. Its amazing. The breadth of sundries offered is surprising considering the size of the space. The staff is so friendly and eager to share their knowledge and passion for their wares. They embrace the lunchtime gourmand without pretense or snobbery.
Its shocking that the Panera breads, and Pret’s of the world can survive when places like this exist.

Disgusting! I had a chix salad sandwich and it had a bone in it! I had a salad there 2 weeks ago and the cucumbers were rotten, I wanted to give it another chance but never again. It is also way overpriced. DO NOT EAT HERE.

Great little grocery. I was looking for prepared foods but there is a nicely curated selection (though small) of regular groceries both fresh and packaged. The staff was very friendly and there is an impressive selection of breakfast choices (and basic coffee) plus a small deli side for lunch sandwiches and sides. It’s only about half a block from the Boston Park Plaza hotel which is really handy if you’re staying there.

The Sandwich I had, ciabatta with ham, was good and had plenty of meat but the prices are too high (9 $) and staff is too pushy… Also too bad there is no place to sit and eat your food. Take out only

Very cool boutique grocer which has all the necessities– and will order what they don’t have. Super fresh produce. A good addition to the neighborhood (and open later/​wknds) Ask for Shane, he’s very knowledgeable.

FOOD POISONING ALERT
I used to love this place and enjoyed the good tasting ready to eat food. That changed last month when I got horrible food poisoning from their chicken salad. I don’t blame them — I know you can get salmonella from the best restaurants — but what really bothered me was their complete lack of concern and rudeness when I let them know about it. Bob — the manager — was rude and acted like I was bothering him by even mentioning this. And let me tell you — I was really ill — spent a day and a half throwing up and in pain. I wouldn’t recommend this place — I have spent hundreds here and all I wanted was a refund for the $ 10 chicken salad. Not only didn’t I get that but no apology, no concern, no custormer service.
This is my first bad Unilocal review — they definitely deserve it. No pun intended — they left a bad taste in my mouth.

I finally stopped in here for lunch yesterday. There was a nice long line full of sandwich-​loving patrons. Unfortunately there are just too many sandwich options in the area to make a sandwich enticing (Back Bay Sandwich, Panera, ABP, Park St Café, Pret, Viga, Compliments, and that’s only in a 1 block radius!). I went for the daily entrée special instead — Jambalaya. It was fine for a take-​out option, where the entrees are pre-​made and left for the rice to get soggy. A little salty — but I appreciated eating something other than a sandwich or a salad, which seems to be the bulk of Back Bay working lunch options. (Hey maybe someone should open up something different???)
I like that they’re paired with a grocery side too. There are some delicious pâté options that I will definitely come back and try. Pâté + baguette. I’m sold.

This place is the best! The family I nanny for does all their grocery shopping here. I am able to stop by on almost a daily bases to get fresh groceries and am never disappointed. Everyone learns your name and will keep your favorite things stocked.

This place is one of the only quick eats in the area open past 7pm on a weeknight. Sandwiches are made when you order on your choice of locally made bread. They are also a mini grocery store if you need to pick up anything on your way home. It’s on the pricier side for a sandwich (around $ 8), but it’s well worth it for the quality! Everyone is friendly here too. No complaints.

Had a great fireside sandwich at Baccos (added lettuce and cheese). My vegetarian friend also enjoyed the mozzarella sandwich. They have great healthy produce. Loved the food and close location to the Public Garden great for a picnic!

I love coming here for lunch. I work across the street and usually come here once every few weeks. Everyone that works here is very friendly and always smiling. I usually get a sandwich and something warm on the side. The food never disappoints. The ingredients are fresh every time. The service is also pretty fast.
They have a small grocery store and sell fruits/​vegetables and other products you would maybe see in a Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s or small health food store. I wouldn’t necessarily buy anything here since the prices are kind of high but I will keep coming back for their sandwiches.
Don’t hesitate to come here if you are in the area.

Just when you thought all those excellent, gourmet market/​delis in the Back Bay biz district closed for the weekend. Welp, Bacco’s.
High end snacks, house made spreads and an assortment of bulk mixes boxed up for your tenth of a mile trek through the Public Garden… I draw your attention, good sirs and female sirs, to their sandwichian prowess.
First, ish is put on Iggy’s. Second, the bacon aioli, beer mustard and horseradish shmear are all forged within their walls. Third, the pastrami and corned beef? Cured and smoked in house.
Fourth, you better believe there are fat stacks on your under $ 9 lunch. I had to have battled through more than a half pound of pastrami for $ 8.50. Outrageous.
Fifth, and unbeknownst to me until after I drooled over my creation, there is a secret sandwich called…
** Spoiler alert: If you’d like to discover what I’ve found on your own, then go away now. **
** Seriously. Go. **
…
** Are they gone? **
The Heuben. A mix of corned beef and pastrami, Emmentaler with house-​pickled vegetables, bacon aioli and sriracha. It’s off-​menu. Ask for it by name.

Mark and I were looking for a quick place to grab something to eat this past Sunday morning but we were not looking for your typical Sunday Brunch options available in the area.
A quick search lead us to this oasis of fine food and take out options available.
From the moment we walked in we were greeted by Erin whom was cheerful and accommodating.
They serve a variety of sandwich options as well as a variety of to-​go menu items as well. The sandwich’s were reasonably priced — about $ 8.50 which some might consider pricey but the bread, meat and filling options were top notch and definitely worth the price.
You won’t find any soft, squishy sandwich bread at Bacco’s. What you will find is several rotating roll options — on the day we were there they had an onion foccacia, white roll and a ciabetta. No processed meat and cheese either — think tender pastrami, rosemary ham, and hearty blocks of Swiss cheese.
I ordered a rosemary ham sandwich and mark got the pastrami — both heated on the pannini press (a must in my opinion) and both on the rosemary foccacia. We brought them back to our hotel to dine al fresco with a couple of side salads — a cheese tortellini salad with grated Romano and a date salad with walnuts, endive and tangy cucumbers.
In addition the store also boasts a small grocery carrying a variety of fresh produce and dinner ready options. Defiantly worth a stop for those not wanting to cook something after a long day.
Thank you Unilocal for your recommendation — this place was both Awesome AND open on a Sunday morning around 10am.

Their sandwiches… are amazing. Fresh ingredients and the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. I’ve had the roast beef, the turkey and Munster cheese, and their curry chicken wrap… I do not have enough great things to say about their sandwiches.
You cannot even compare Baccos to the other sandwich shops in the area… except sit down and that’s where Parish shines.

I come here often because it is the only store in the Back Bay area that carries my favorite brand of cookies in the whole wide world! I so badly want to tell you what that brand is, but I can’t because you might go buy them and leave none for me. Sorry.

I go here every morning for a coffee and a piece of fruit before work and I’m always greeted with smiling and friendly faces. Sometimes they’ll see me twice a day if I pop in for lunch. Get the turkey sandwich on ciabatta, it’s stuffed with delicious roasted turkey and this amazing bacon aioli. Definitely one of the best lunch spots in the area!
