In Short
Behind its glass facade, this candle-lit Italian wine bar proffers a menu of delectable edibles and a nice selection of--surprise, surprise--Italian wines. On the ground floor, large, medieval-style wooden tables are inhabited by scarf-clad 20-and-30-somethings, but the prize seating is in the basement, a cavernous dungeon filled with hidden corners to get romantic. The bar's slightly out-of-the-way locale is at once a blessing and curse: Think of all the people who might not find it.
Hits: It's a great place to bring a date for a glass of wine in the shade; if you're not a wine connoisseur, small glass options ($4-$7) make it easy to shop around.
Misses: Bacaro doesn't take reservations, so there's no way to guarantee you'll snag one of the private caverns. Get there before or after the prime-time rush to minimize the wait.

A charming menu of Italian-influenced dishes includes a meat and cheese plate, gnocchi in a mushroom sauce and a pork shank. No plate exceeds $20 and most can be easily adapted into a full meal, should drinks turn into dinner

Beautiful small restaurant. Charming, warm and intimate - very rustic, exposed bricks, candles and wood. Not the trendy scene for people watching, best to go on a date. Food was good. Their octupus potato salad aptz is very much worth skipping - there were three octopus pieces in the whole thing, but only $9. Both their polenta and risotto dishes were fantastic! We ate at the bar, to observe and to get a feel for the place from the bartender - he was very attentive, after warming up a bit. Overall, it was great, definitely worth trying at least once, you wont be disappointed.. you may even fall in love. It wont break your bank. No reservations.
