Mama’s Cafe Baci

Date: 3/23/2022

The dream was based on a real gluten free restaurant called Mama’s Cafe Baci in NJ. So my family and I were gonna visit there for the first time. In real life, it’s an hour drive from my house. Instead of driving there, we climbed down a whole bunch of staircases. It was these old antique wooden staircases that formed the shape of a square as you continued to go down. For some reason, I knew exactly how many staircases we had to walk down to get to the restaurant. At the bottom of the stairs, there was the sign for Mama’s Cafe Baci, and we told the hostess that we had 4 people. She immediately sat us at a large table in the middle of the restaurant. The restaurant seemed upscale with all these fancy windows and was dimly lit, kinda like a pub. The waitress gave us our menus and the menu was totally opposite of what I read online. There were hardly any gluten free options, and the menu looked generic. My dad complained about the restaurant saying that it was an “upgrade of Applebees.” I was not happy with the food and was expecting better.
