Bacaro - London

Loved the food and the staff My first time to this restaurant, came with friends who come here often.

Came across this place while browsing through the neighbourhood, supposedly Venetian, the staff were all Italian and one half of the owners too am told.

My friends and I were walking in our neighbourhood looking for a nice place to have lunch.

Italian Tapas. Amazing flavours. Plenty of options and quaint location in East London. Definitely a hidden gem of Roman Road. Not a cheap eatery but not overpriced either! Would highly recommend.

We went to Bacaro for dinner on Saturday. We asked to be sat outside as it was a nice evening and they happily accommodated us. Starters were really good, we had the bread and olive oil, the calamari especially good), the crispy parmesan with anchovies and cesar and the stuffed peppers. I liked the calamari, bread and parmesan the best. For mains, we had the tortellini with truffle and seafood stew. The tortellini were good, but a bit of a small portion for a large guy like me. The seafood was also good, but not massive either although bigger size that the tortellini. Overall very good experience, but I would definitely recommend having quite a few starters as the portion size of the mains is on the small side for my taste. Price wise, all very decently priced starters, £4-8) a bit on the pricy side for the mains £10-14) given the portion size and also wine by the glass a bit pricy too at c£8 a large 175ml) glass. Great design inside and very attentive and friendly service. A place to recommend on Roman Road. Will be back for sure.
