1st time here for a roast and won't be our last. Ambience, service and food all amazing. Would highly recommend 😁😋
Had lovely fresh food, with fast friendly service.
Tried good range of dishes, all great. Would recommend their new cauliflower dish! (Tasted so good finished before got a photo!)
First visit to restaurant for Sunday lunch on Fathers Day. Very attentive staff. Sunday roast was great with a amazing platter of vegetables to accompany our dishes. Great value, nice ambience too. Will definately be back.
Located in Southampton's Ocean Village, Bacaro specialises in small-plate food. Think tapas, but with an Italian twist to it. We ordered 5 plates plus a bread sharer between two of us.
The small plates were really good, and portion sizes were of the perfect size to share with the table. The aranchini are particularly good so I'd recommend ordering extra of these. The one slight disappointment was the pizza - it wasn't bad, but not quite to the same level as the other plates we ordered.
A dessert menu is available separately. I would recommend their cheese board - it is really quite generous.
There is an extensive wine list alongside a cocktail and mocktail menu.
Service was really good, but took a while at times. I don't fault the staff for this - it just appeared that there were a number of large tables and they could do with a few extra hands.
On the whole a really positive experience and one we will definitely come back to.
I booked this place for my birthday and I can say it is definitely one of the best restaurants in Southampton. Food being the most important, I found they have a variety you don't find in other restaurants. It is a small plates menu so don't expect a huge plate of pasta but quality and taste was very good (especially the arancini balls and sirloin steak). Our waiter was very attentive and the atmosphere of the place was great. Very pleased with their wine too. I would totally recommend.
Ideally located if you happen to be in Ocean Village but sadly its easily forgotten if you aren't. There's good parking, some outside seating and a spacious and nicely presented interior. The bar is well placed and accommodates groups that just want a drink as does the outdoor seating area.
The beer is a little pricey and they could do with some stools outside opposite the cushioned bench seats.
Staff are great, friendly and engaging.
Lovely place to go and eat, and straight away order the Risotto balls starters you won't regret it. Now for the rest, food was lovely, 4 stars due to a dispointing desert. Need better desert options for the menu at hand. Service was good, though at the end we had to wait quite a while to get the bill. Atmosphere started lovely, however live band it got very loud and coming out for a meal made it hard to conversate we had no idea it was going to happen either, a prewarn at booking might have helped here. Apart from that I would love to have experienced a nice meal for 2 here without the loud live music and different desert options. But overall nice place to eat. Clean and tidy.
Gr8 food, small Italian style tapas, excellent service, gr8 cocktails. Atmosphere was fun, live music. Only downside was it was very loud with the high ceilings, so had to shout to talk in a group. Would definitely recommend though & will def be back.
Amazing Sunday lunch at Bacaro. Service was spot on and food was great. Well worth visiting if you are aim Southampton or not in Southampton 👍🏼👍🏼
Had an amazing meal at Bacaro! Highly recommend this restaurant. Connor is making some of the most amazing cocktails. Sophie is running the show like a boss! Give these people a raise! Can't wait to bring the family!
