Great food here. Chicken Parm is one of the best I've found in the country, and I've tried it in at least 100 places in the NJ/NY area

This great unpretentious casual Italian eatery is located right on University Blvd, the main shopping street on the UofAZ campus. I think it’s a “Gentle Bens” spin on Italian, and it’s great. I had the pizza and enjoyed it and the other entrees, drinks, and deserts looked great as well! My server, Nate, was fast and friendly! VictorB

Great, little Italian spot off University. One could say their pizza is arguably the best Tuscon has to offer. We had a late lunch and Bacio didn't disappoint. The service was prompt and efficient and our food was hot off the press. Thank you for a lovely experience.

I’m a huge pizza person and was starving when I get to my hotel (I travel a lot!). Staying at the Marriott University Park and I googled pizza. This was .2miles from the hotel and it looked good. WOW was I right! The service was great and atmosphere was very nice. I ordered a small Caesar salad which was great and a regular pepperoni. Everything about this pizza was phenomenal! Highly recommend if you are in Tucson and want pizza, this is a killer spot!
