Fantastic place. I’ve been twice in 3 years and both were excellent. Apps were delicious. Drinks were great. I went with the server’s recommendation since I wanted a lighter dish (raviolis and shrimp) and it was excellent. The lamb was also so tender and flavorful and the risotto also very good.
I visited this wonderful Italian restaurant to celebrate my son's birthday along with my family. We were kindly greeted by the restaurant's host and quickly took us to the best seating spot for us. We were amazed at the interior decor. It's absolutely a work of art blending a fusion colonial interior architecture, historic photos, and splendid paintings. We were quickly greeted by the waiter. Super kind, attentive and assisted in helping us select the meals with ease. As appetizer, we ordered the Bruschetta platter and absolutely loved it. Beautiful presentation. Main courses were Fettuccine Alla Boscaiola, Linguine Allo Scoglio, Spaghetti Alla Carbonara and cream of Taro. Presentation and plating of each pasta was exceptional. Portions were generous. Ingredients are all made and prepared in house by the masterful hands of their chefs. Flavor and taste was OUTSTANDING! We absolutely LOVED IT! This restaurant has raised the bar and is now our top favorite Italian restaurant in Puerto Rico. At the end, we ordered 3 tiramisu desserts made in house and were absolutely wonderful. The tiramisu for my son was for free by the house ❤️🎂. Price for the entire course of meals is below the competition while providing a delicious, delightful and exemplary Italian culinary experience. We will definitely return in the future and on my behalf, I highly recommend anyone visiting the Old San Juan area and looking for an excellent Italian restaurant to place Bacaro on top of their list. It's that good!!! Thank you for a great and memorable time!💚🤍❤️🇮🇹🇵🇷🥳🎉🎂
Tasty and small spot in the heart of Old San Juan. You definitely need a reservation and they were able to accommodate a group of 8, would be tough with more than that. We all got the daily special and it was outstanding. Wine list is affordable yet great and the appetizers were some of the best parts of the meal.
High ceiling and beautiful painted walls. The Gnocchi are really soft. The tomatoes of the burrata were so so good. Espresso was delicious.
And the service was very friendly. Young staff here. All great.
We both got the Riggatoni Special and felt the portion was small for a $28 meal. The beef also left a lot to be desired. The sauce flavoring was great. We also had the bruschetta appetizer and enjoyed it, however. It was a bit over valued.
