Bistro Baffi is an upscale Italian restaurant. Head chef Michael Vujovich goes to the local market early each and every day to pick out the freshest local seafood available. These items later become the day's special, ensuring that guest is always getting the best quality food possible. In that same mindset, the kitchen staff at Bistro Baffi make all of the pasta, sauces, and bread from scratch every day. The menu is an homage to fine Italian dining. Guests will find great pasta dishes like the penne alla mike with scampi and shiitake mushrooms in a spicy sauce.There are also many different hearty dishes that come straight off the grill. One such item is the maiale al porto, which is pork chops with sliced pears, gorgonzola cheese, chocolate and a port wine reduction. Bistro Baffi also has an extensive wine list so guests can get an ideal pair for their meal.

    The food was delicious and plentiful. We took home enough for another meal. We had the rice croquettes, lasagna, and lemon shrimp with capellini. We drank a bottle of house wine. All was wonderful. The ambiance was okay, not terribly romantic. I understand there will soon be live music on Thursdays. We'll go back for that and the good food. We might order less next time.

    The food was excellent and surpassed our expectations. Literally one of the best meals we've had out since before the pandemic. Our daughter who lives in S. Cal bought us a gift certificate. She didn't realize how far Normandy Park is from Shoreline, but we sure are happy we discovered great restaurant and we WILL be making that trip again soon!! Highly recommend Bistro Baffi!

    The scallops were wonderful. Note the menu rotates and some dishes we enjoyed a few months ago were off the menu at this time.

    A quaint Italian restaurants with the best food and service in the south end - clean, comfortable seating and fresh ingredients. Steak was cooked perfectly and service was lovely. We loved it when it was in Seahurst and love it now in Normandy Park.

    We had been to Bistro Baffi in its old location and had happy memories of it. The staff were very friendly and making a good effort. The ambiance was good. One in our party got the scallop dish, it was a great size and done very well.

    The food, wine, service, and ambiance were quite acceptable. HOWEVER, having driven 30 miles to join friends at this restaurant, and having a bill in excess of $110 (for two people), I am offended to be presented with a "bill processing charge". Will there next be a sur-charge for "napkin cleaning", "food refrigeration", or "reservation fee"? ENOUGH ALREADY. Thus is an insult to the customer.

    Service was very slow considering the restaurant was pretty empty. The food was average.

    Quaint neighborhood restaurant with fairly good food. I ordered mac n cheese bites for fun and was sorely disappointed. They tasted like bar food not something unique. The wine and entries were great. The service was good ( a few things forgotten) but the staff was handling quite a few meals done at once. Will definitely go back.
