About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining
Great for creative cocktails

Nestled along the shimmering waterfront of the Cayman Islands, Bacaro is the first of its kind — a Venetian-inspired tapas restaurant that blends the romance of Northern Italy with the relaxed elegance of island life. Named after the traditional Venetian wine bars, Bacaro invites guests to indulge in small plates bursting with bold, coastal flavors, handcrafted cocktails, and fine wines, all with an unforgettable water view.

Our menu pays homage to Venice’s rich culinary heritage, offering a modern twist on cicchetti — shareable bites meant to be enjoyed slowly, with great company. From fresh Caribbean seafood with Italian flair to artisanal charcuterie and house-made pastas, each dish is a celebration of craftsmanship and culture.

Whether you're watching the sun dip below the horizon or arriving by boat to enjoy a glass of Prosecco and a few plates, Bacaro is where island charm meets timeless Venetian tradition.

An excellent meal with deviled eggs, tuna tater and beef cheek along with an excellent glass of Prisoner. Unfortunately there was no DJ as advertised and although the background music box music was ok it was disappointing not to have had the DJ. However, Sitting on the terrace was cool and it was a really nice experience. The service was good as always. We consistantly return, being residents, and the menue never disappoints.

Every dish was so unique and delicious - even seemingly simple things like asparagus were awesome. The seafood grill platter so good. Service was attentive and helpful. Ambience is upscale but not stuffy, this is a fine dining experience but smart casual style. Great views and vibes. Would recommend and will be back.

The menu is creative and the food taste great. We enjoy sharing their small plates. Kelvin was informative, fun and attentive. The wine offerings are particularly good, as was the advice to try an Italian white wine to accompany our food. We only visit Grand Cayman once a year, but always include Bacaro for our first night.

Hi Glen! Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the creativity of our menu, the small plates, and the wine selection—especially the Italian white! It's wonderful to know that Kelvin made your experience even more memorable with his service. We're honored to be part of your Grand Cayman tradition, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Bàcaro on your next visit. Until then, cheers from all of us! 🍷
