Bacaro

Michael my server was amazing!!! So hospitable, friendly, amazing server and person

Would highly recommend!!!

The food is delicious!!!

The cicchetti yummmm I love the tuna crisp and ricotta and pancetta ones

The salads are phenomenal too!!

I never knew this restaurant existed until a friend mentioned going. So we made reservations with a $10 hold each (I've mentioned how I felt about this before).

We got there right on time... but our table wasn't ready. Oddly, they said they moved someone to get us our table. This took a few minutes.

First off, it is very dark in here. I found it hard to read the menu. It was that dark, where I was seated.

I loved the cheese plater. It was very small but almost everything was small. My main was a shrimp linguine, which I found far too rich for my liking. It also smelled like seafood, which I found a turnoff. My friend ordered the risotto, which she found delicious.

The dessert was amazing. We had the tiramisu, which was very light and airy. We also ordered the semifreddo, which was just amazing.

The service was good overall. She did mess up our bills and needed clarification, but overall, she was friendly and competent.

The cocktail menu is very dry. The wines are some great selections! I would definitely come back for wine and dessert.

Service is great, all servers are friendly and knowledgeable of menu. Been here a few times and all recommendations have been delicious.
I would suggest choosing 4-5 dishes to share - menu is separated by plate size so it is easy to choose from.

My absolute favorites have been the fresh Spaghetti with duck Ragout and the Asparagus with Parmesan truffle foam.

Restaurant has a great view during the day and ambiance at night. Sit by the bar or at a table and the servers will treat you with warmth and kindness.

Ambiance: 4/5

I think I found my new favourite appetizer! As a preface, I LOVE cheese so when I saw that they had a deep fried grilled cheese on their menu, I was excited. It's quite a big sandwich with lots of cheese in it so I would recommend sharing it which is what I did and half of it was the perfect amount for a little snack.

As for ambiance, this spot is pretty cute for a casual lunch/dinner and it's accessed by walking through Giovane cafe. Our server was lovely as well and super attentive. While I didn't get a chance to try any of their mains here, I'll definitely be back to have this one appetizer again!

Intimate, upscale Italian restaurant with an extensive wine menu (and in-house sommelier!).

For our group of 10, the restaurant required that we did a "shared tasting menu" based on a combination of our preferences and their recommendations. Service was friendly and accommodating without being too pushy. It ended up working out - we left it in their hands and had a wide assortment of dishes shared family-style. All the dishes were tasty; the group particularly enjoyed the pastas. There was just one dish that had a bitter vegetable (similar to broccolini) that a few people didn't prefer but otherwise everything else were good choices. Though we probably received one or two dishes too many since we were all stuffed to the brim by the end, but it was overall a nice, celebratory dinner with a chance to try a bit of everything.

Tiramisu 10/10 +++ amazing!!! It has different textures in one bite. One of the best tiramisu's I've had.

Duck pasta - 8/10. Interesting, chewy pasta. The sauce was well flavored though.

Prosciutto, bread, and caesar salad -7/10 just the normal appetizer there was nothing wow about it

Risotto with candied walnut - 7/10. Not a huge fan, it was more on the sweeter end. But it was still pretty good.

Carrot grilled - 7/10. Good carrots, but I think the ricotta underneath was a little bit much.

i came here for a light dinner on a weeknight. No reservation, just walked in.

It was a bit earlier in the evening and there was plenty of room.

Service was good, but slow. Friendly waitress, knowledgeable.

We ordered 3 things:

Albacore tuna - good
vegetables and dip - the dip was good, but this dish was very overpriced for what it is.
Bigoli in duck ragu - good, pasta nice and al dente, sauce was seasoned just right, and not too salty.

They have a sizeable drink and wine list.

street and pay parking available.

solid 4/5, but not higher.

Our reservation at another restaurant was cancelled and we got so lucky that we could walk in here. Fate was working with us. We had a lovely experience with the sommelier who recommended a fantastic wine to us. We ended up sharing a bunch of items that were delicious and we could not decide a favorite. The only bummer was the heat was not working hard enough haha and it was 0 degree Fahrenheit outside so it was a bit chilly. The pastas were so flavorful and tender. One of the best dining experiences!

I researched Bacaro and made reservations for a Thursday night at 8:15pm. We were on vacation in Vancouver from Ohio in the US.
Our server was attentive, and we started with a lovely wine. We ordered the polpette di fungi. They were just average. We expected more mushroom flavor. For our mains we ordered the linguini ai gamberi, and the Capesante. The supposed prawns on the gamberi were small shrimps and very overcooked and mushy. The dish needed way more fresh basil, but the tomato sauce was good and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The Capesante was fantastic! The broth was complimentary to the scallops and ravioli and the addition of dill was the icing on the dish. One weird thing was for this caliber of restaurant, they put silverware in a cup for you to get one for yourself. At the end of the meal, our server went AWOL and we had to wait a long time or our check. We were hoping for a great experience, and on some levels it was, but overall there are some tweaks that could have been made to make it better.

I'm a bit conflicted here. This was Michelin recommended so I expected and don't mind paying for ambience, plating, and above average ingredients. But I hate feeling ripped off when I done eating. Their happy hour menu featured buffalo cheese and meatball for $5 each. And I got a toothpick with these 2 nickel size buffalo mozzarella on it. Nothing that distinguished it from store bought. That was $5. The meatballs were quarter sized made from tuna..tasty but each meatball was $5. That's the feeling of being ripped off. The lady host said to treat the dishes as family style to share. These were not family sized to share. These were definitely single serving size, if that. You get this wide plate with a 4 in brim and a dip in the middle where they plate your pasta. The duck ragu was very tasty. In fact, it was the star of the show. The pasta itself was the star as it appeared to be made in house, had a nice chew, al dente, thicker than a spaghetti noodle. The pasta in the lobster special appeared to be fussilli, also great chew and texture. There was a metallic aftertaste to the lobster sauce, it didn't enhance the dish but distracted you with the flavor. The Steak was fine for a 6 oz steak cut into 2 pieces. And that was it for a plate. You got that 6 oz steak and nothing else. They said Waygu bit I didn't recall seeing that listed on the steak description. They may have offered some sides but for the price I was afraid I would get 2 pieces of a vegetable. The tiramisu was delicious and dessert hit the mark with the special. The cherry Gelato was tart and bright. For the price you want to walk out feeling you experienced something special. Service was friendly but that doesn't make up for the feeling of being had...This wasn't outstanding. Save your time and money and dine elsewhere
