   Dining area is lower level and very dark. There was a young baby at the next table crying which was annoying and there was no escape to another part of the restaurant. Also waitress submitted the wrong order for one of us so my friend ate her dinner while I waited. As she was finishing, I received my entree. Waitress said she pressed the wrong button in the kitchen. I would not go back.

   First trip to Bacaro based on an article that listed some neighborhood favorites of NYC chefs. Had a bit of trouble finding the place thanks to some very subtle signage on a street I've rarely, if ever, walked down on the LES. Our server was a delight. Wish I knew her name so I could give her more props. We were seated near the downstairs bar -- quite a noisy spot between the "energetic" conversations being had over a loud sound system blasting out music. The wine selection was great. The food delicious. Will we return? You bet. But next time I would request a table in one of the other areas downstairs to ensure conversation isn't stymied by the noise level.

   The meal it self was so so. The taste was very nice, but lacked presentation, I do not feel that all of the senses were awakened. The restaurant gets extremely noisy, so this is not for conversations.

   A very special little out of the way find! Excellent wine selections. Fried oysters were delicious! Our server Paulo was very knowledgeable about the wines and steered us to a very special Wine- Luigi Bardana Dragon Langhe Bianco . Ask for it !

    Overall, the food and ambiance were excellent. I highly recommend coming here if you’re in the mood for a nice Italian meal. The Polpettes and the Spaghetti Nero were intensely flavorful and worth a try. The only thing to keep in mind is that the portions are on the smaller side. If you’re very hungry, I recommend getting some appetizers and dessert in addition to a main course. As for negatives, the only thing I can say is since we were seated in a more secluded communal table area, the waiters weren’t around as frequently and the lighting was a touch on the dim side. Still, this place was a fantastic experience overall and I’ll definitely be coming back in the future!

    Excellent restaurant. One of our best food experiences in NYC. We will add Bacaro to our favorite Italian food spots and away from the tourist trap that Little Italy has unfortunately become.

    What can I say? Such a great experience! The food and service were so amazing! What a beautiful place! Couldn’t decide what to eat because the whole menu including the specials were everything I want in a restaurant. Everyone who lives in and who visits NY should eat here. Keeping the cozy restaurant vibe that we all love alive!!! P.S. That area of Manhattan is beautiful!

    To say that we love Bacaro would be an understatement. We LOVE Bacaro. That is until this dinner - the service was great, the seating excellent, the food delicious - as always - the ambience wonderful, they even turned down the music so we could hear each other. BUT then the check came and there is now a cc service charge. So now my dinner at this wonderful restaurant comes with a check that looks like my cable bill?????? when will the breakouts for electricity, taxes, gas and staff appear????? Do I get a credit for the annual fee on my credit card? a) I don't want to see this, b) calculate it into your overhead - until then - sadly - I will find another local fabulous restaurant - I'm in Manhattan - I'm sure I'll find one. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

    Beautiful ambiance but the dishes were very salty. The meal would satisfy an average diner, but for people that cook food on their own or have a passion for real Italian food, they would likely not return if it wasn't for the environment.

    I always have a good time here--the food is really delicious, both authentic and inventive (and I lived in Italy so I know), and the atmosphere is just right. I love the grotto coziness of the lower level.

    The food was very good and overall it was a nice atmosphere. The only thing was that the two top tables (downstairs near the bar) were so close together it felt cramped and hearing the conversations of the two tables on either side of us made it a bit uncomfortable. I would only go back if seated somewhere else.

    Service was lacking, although employees were very polite. Several appetizers arrived 12 minutes others were served. For entrees the delay was only 7 minutes. For desert, they were down to 3-4 minutes.

    The filet of sole was good but there wasn't any choice of side except what was on the menu. The steak was good but there was much fat and the prices was too high for it. It also did not have another choice of side orders. The atmosphere was good the way it was set up. My review actually was from fair to middling depending on what was being reviewed.

    There was a good range of flavorful dishes to select from, but don't expect to find every Italian dish you've ever heard of. The long list of Italian wines provided plenty of choice, but there are only a couple in each category under $50 a bottle. We had spaghetti with duck argh and rabbit lasagne for main courses. Both were very good and our waiter took great care of us. The bar area at street level was full and lively with the noise from people talking. Downstairs in the main dining area was much quieter with a mix of couples and groups eating.
