Bacio Italiano is your chill, no-fuss Italian spot right on University Blvd., close to the University of Arizona.
Its drink game is on point, especially the wines. The pepperoni pizza is a crowd-pleaser, loaded with cheese and sporting a crispy crust — one of our favorite pizzas in Tucson. Also, it’s just a nice place to hang out, grab a slice, and unwind with a drink.

Opening in 2019, Bacio Italiano is now ready to unveil its first multi-course wine dinner at 943 E. University Blvd. #125. Each course is paired with a different wine. All dishes and wines are inspired by the central region of Italy.
Seats at the table are $65 per person (plus tax and gratuity). Reserve your spot on Eventbrite or by calling (520) 365-4501.
