This was the #1 place for special occasions when I was an undergrad at Brown -birthdays, anniversaries, parents in town who could fit the bill lol. Good for dates or a group. Now whenever I find myself in Providence I make sure to stop here at least once. It never disappoints. The last 2 times we’ve been served by Kristine who is so warm and accommodating, and makes great recommendations too. From someone who has been here many times and tried many things now…everything is good but always, always get the Pasta Con i Funghi.

I dined at Bacaro for the first time last night. My boyfriend and I had dinner at Bacaro on New Year’s Eve as the restaurant is situated right next to where the fireworks location is. We had a phenomenal meal here. All of the staff (hostesses, food runners, our server) were incredibly kind and helpful. I am still drooling over our entrees. For an appetizer, we had the wood grilled octopus which was so yummy served with these white beans and spinach. For my entree, I had the pasta con funghi. The flavors in that dish were unlike anything I’ve had before. It is served with egg and truffle and you mix it all up into this utter deliciousness. Not pictured, I also ordered a side of crusted chicken for some added protein, which hit the spot. My boyfriend enjoyed the Cioppino, especially the sca

One of the very best dining experiences in Providence! From-scratch Italian dishes made to order. From high-end charcuterie to grilled pizza, Bacaro has it all.

2nd review - gave this place another shot. Called in two pizzas for pick up on the way home from work. On the phone, “yes I would like to order two pizzas for pick up. One margherita and one with the spicy soppressata.” - girl on the other line “ok a margherita and a spicy pizza.” - I said “no the pizza with the spicy sopressata (pepperoni) and a margherita.” - “ok got it.” She said 30-45 minutes. I was surprised since it was a Wednesday night at 5:30PM. Lo and behold I went in after 20 minutes and the pizza was ready. I’m sure it would have been ice cold if I waited another 10-15 minutes. Not surprised with this place that she gave us the wrong pizza. She gave us a Margherita and a “Spicy Pizza” which I guess is on the menu. Two of the same exact pizza but one is spicy. Really hate to cri
