Once again this Italian institution has delivered.
The service is exemplary and the food cannot be surpassed
My gluten free needs were catered too (as you can see in the different variations of entrée) and it was no trouble for them at all
I didn’t go through the wine list although it looked extensive and must be said expensive
The early sitting worked for us. We were seated by 6:15 and out by 8. We were able to have 3 courses without feeling rushed.
Not the cheapest of venues but definitely worth a visit.
Once again, a picture is worth a thousand words so take the time to flick through.

This is hands-​down my favourite Italian restaurant in Melbourne. I have been eating here for years. I love everything about it, the décor, the service (Marco always makes sure we are looked after), the food is just beautiful (Dave the chef certainly has some serious skills when it comes to this style of food). The wine list is great and I always leave happy and continue to recommend this place to friends and colleagues.

Had a great night at Bacaro last Thursday night on a friends recommendation. We came in early for our booking and despite the table not being ready, we were sat and spoilt at their bar with an apéritif.
At the table we ate a selection of zucchini flowers, Carpaccio and raw fish (Crudo) for starters and then onto roasted duck and what could be the best pasta I have eaten, hand cut polenta pasta with rabbit ragu. It didn’t stop with the deserts either, yoghurt Panacotta almost appeared gelatin free with an assortment of fine berries and flowers and a steamed cheesecake with fairy floss, popping candy and violet Icecream that takes you back to childhood fantasy’s.
Our waiter never missed a beat, his wine selection was top notch and accompanied our food and pallets perfectly. Even though they were full from the moment we walked in we never waited more than a few minutes for attention which when did come, came with acute concern for details and genuine appreciation for our evening.
Grazie!

No Rebecca, you are not the only one. and I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one too, otherwise I might just guess they are racist XD
Well, we went there with a high hope after reading urbanspoon’s review, but there is really something wrong with the services and I hope their management should fix it and really look at how their staffs work.
The foods?, we ordered «Calamari St. Andrea» which was said to be one of best fried squid in town, well it’s not too bad but I still feel it’s overrated.
«Spaghettini Con Cicale Di Mare» is not bad, I like it but I guess it may look more elegant if they just leave the bugs shell on, otherwise people might just think it looks no different from ordering spaghetti from take-​away pizza place.
Fish of the day was Barramundi, which was just ok but the eggs yoke ravioli was so bad since the yoke was overcooked.
All in all, I will never go back there again.

Il Bacaro is pretty damn slick. It’s classically stylish, the service is perfect and the food looks as good as it tastes — amazing.
I was lucky enough to be taken here on a date so it was a little bit extra-​special, but I’m sure I’d still like Il Bacaro as much even if I went with my mum. I had the calamari on rocket for starters, followed by a prawn linguini. Yup, I double seafooded! Both were perfect, with melty, tasty, fresh ingredients.
My favourite part of the whole meal was dessert — the sweet canaloni and sorbet was completely mind blowing.
We drank wines by the glass to match each course, and all were lovely. I particularly remember the Riesling with dessert being fantastic, but can’t recall where it was from. Regardless, our waiter was helpful and made sure we always had a drink that suited the meal.
Coffee at the end was the icing on the cake — it was nice and strong, just the way I like it. Overall a great restaurant.
