Why Travelers Love Il Bacaro
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Beautiful restaurant with quality ingredients. The meat ravioli with bolognese sauce was well-cooked and flavorful. We got the Bianca pizza and it could have been very good. However, the potato topping was unseasoned and tasted microwaved. The pizza would be much better if the potatoes were seasoned and there was a base such as garlic butter or seasoned olive oil. My family was a bit sick of Mexican foods we had through out the trip and was looking for a change then we decided to try this place. We definite did not disappointed! I wouldn’t say it’s the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever had but they are good considered that it’s in Mexico. The cocktails were a bit weak but still taste good. The dining room is more like an outdoor with electric fans, not AC but still very cute Overall, it was ok! If you know true Italian food and hope to have it, this is not the place to go. The lasagna was blah, lacked flavour, and first piece we returned as it was burnt on top and bottom. Replacement piece 7 min later was not burnt and edible. The other dish was the tallyaglia carbonarra. Again, lacked flavour, sauce was weak and bland. Staff was ok, not outgoing and not interactive. They were attentive. Overall wouldn't recommend it. Too pricey by 20 to 30% compared to other restaurants

Pizza is really good. I had it 2 days in a row. Meat dishes are just ok so stick with pizza 🍕 and pasta 🍝. Service is good and vibe is nice as well.

Walked right in and seated quickly, servers were there shortly after and took my order and was able to make some great suggestions. Highly recommend the carbonara ! The atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing, just what anyone would want on a vacation. Food itself so full of flavor and very rich. I also got of the the margarita pizzas and it was everything I hoped and more. The crust was very light and the cheese was amazing. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!
