Bacchanalia Restaurant Review

: This is old-world Italian cooking at its red-sauce best --- most of the time, at least. Bacchanalia has been around since, well, what seems like forever. Regulars think there's nothing quite like it, but many first-time eaters wonder what all the fuss is about. Nevertheless, the bruschetta and chicken Vesuvio are quite good, and so is the lobster ravioli. You’ll find all the classics --- like caprese salad, baked clams and spaghetti Bolognese --- all served in a setting that is borderline living room. The service, accordingly, is neighborhood laid-back.
