Bacaro NYC

“This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. The food is fantastic. The fritto misto is a hit, and the eggplant parm is excellent. The salads are always fresh. Everything on the menu is good. The service has always been wonderful to me and my family. It’s a blessing to have a restaurant this good nearby. Many surrounding restaurants have wine lists that are heavily, if not entirely, focused on natural and organic wines. These are great for people who enjoy stemmy, funky, and fizzy wines. Bacaro, however, offers an extensive list of classic Italian wines, which is a nice change from the natural wine trend that has taken over the Lower East Side.”

“Overall rating: 4.5 Super popular Italian place that seems to be best for group of friends or a date. Very tight on the main floor, but the bottom floor seems super romantic I went with a group of 6 and the underground feeling transported me. I had the duck cavatelli and it was good. But was it $$$ good. Eh. I’ve had better. The service was also a tad rough. They were very busy and it was hard to order, get a drink and close out. Not sure if this is the place for me.”

“Romantic, but lacking food quality for the price. The food is not bad, it’s just a little expensive for what it is. The happy hour M-F 4-6:30 is a good deal. The waitstaff is ok. The real win here is the vibe, it’s romantic. It’s too bad the food isn’t either cheap enough to make it worth it, or fancy enough to explain the prices.”

“Menu is a bit overpriced and pretty limited but the food was good. Our server was great but the manager was kinda rude and ruined the experience a bit. Overall it was fine but not a place I would send people.”

“Got the spaghetti with clams….. 70% of clams were empty shells lol. The sauce made the plate look good but not enough for the pasta itself. You’re paying for barely wet noodles. I don’t recommend at all. Service left a lot to be desired. The lady barely came by but obviously tip is still expected for their little work.”
