Our Story
Welcome to Baonecci Ristorante: Frisco’s Home for Authentic Italian Cuisine If you are looking for a truly authentic Italian restaurant in Frisco, TX, welcome to Baonecci Ristorante. We believe that real Italian food is about more than just a meal—it’s about family, tradition, and ingredients prepared with love. Run by the Gambaccini family, Baonecci offers a warm, neighborhood dining experience where every guest is treated like family.
 
Our Story: From the Heart of Lucca to Texas Our journey began in Lucca, a beautiful walled city in the Tuscany region of Italy, famous for its rich culinary traditions. Our executive chef, "Mamma" Stefania Gambaccini, learned her craft at a young age, standing by the apron strings of her mother and grandmothers. What began as a lifelong passion for cooking traditional meals for friends and family blossomed into a dream to share the authentic flavors of Lucca with the world.
 
In 2005, our family—Walter, Stefania, and our sons—emigrated from Italy to San Francisco, opening the beloved Caffe Baonecci. After years of success on the West Coast, our family decided to bring our Lucchese-inspired kitchen to Texas, proudly reopening our doors in Frisco in the summer of 2022.
 

Join the Gambaccini Family for Dinner At Baonecci Ristorante, we invite you to slow down, pour a glass of Chianti, and enjoy the rich aromas of a genuine Tuscan kitchen. Whether you are searching for a romantic date night, a private event venue, or the best Italian comfort food in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, we promise an unforgettable culinary experience that honors the heart of Italy.
Buon appetito!
