Come to Bacaro for its truly unique ambiance, replete with exposed bricks, candlelit lighting, and a maze of dining nooks that are reminiscent of a speakeasy. The food and drink options are great, but the service needs some work.

This is one of my go-to Italian places in NYC. The atmosphere of the dining area in the cellar is lowkey and romantic. Service is always exceptional too. The only thing that I would imrpove is the food. Don’t get me wrong; it’s great and one of better Italian food places you can go to in NYC, but for example, the gnocchi I had are too hard and better for fried gnocchi dishes. That said, the desserts are always perfect and our personal highlight.

Great basement restaurant with good Italian food. The basement was inviting and cozy, and the staff was welcoming. The food was good, but nothing remarkable.

I came here for my friend’s birthday. They have large tables that are great for groups. Also the layout of the place allows for privacy for groups. The design of the space was very inviting, it had exposed brick and gave out wine cellar vibes. We shared salads and rice balls and got a pasta entree each. The salad was 4/5, rice balls 5/5, seafood spaghetti 4.5/5. We also got tiramisu at the end and the texture was different from the ones I’ve had before. It felt like they have leaned into the cream cheese and butter. I liked that it wasn’t too sweet. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to friends.

Walked in with a party of 5 without a reservation on a Saturday night and of course there was only outdoor seating available. It was chilly but the space heaters worked well so we were comfortable. The waitress that served us was attentive and welcoming. We had no idea what to expect of the food but all of the dishes were tasty and satisfying. I’m pretty picky when it comes to fried calamari but I quite enjoyed their fritto misto antipasti and would happily order it again! My only critique would be for the bacalao with polenta that was flavorful but just way too salty.

Although I visited here by chance, it was great. Looks very popular to NYC local residents.

Had dinner here last week. Very pretty restaurant with two floors, though main dining is downstairs. The food was fine, except for the broccoli rabe which was way over cooked. The staff was superior and immediately said they would cook up another batch or take it off the bill. The dessert on the other hand was excellent!!

I didn’t quite like this place. Food wasn’t tasty and honestly wasn’t impressed. The servers were nice, cordial and helpful. I came out of the restaurant a bit dissatisfed about my overall experience.
