Multi-Course Wine Dinner at Bacio Italiano (November 7)

Nov 6, 20241 min read

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.
