Il Bacaro

The verdict

It was a wise person who once commented that good taste never goes out of style and so it is with Il Bacaro, a modern Italian restaurant and bar located in Little Collins Street, Melbourne. After more than a decade of charming diners and reviewers alike with its fine Italian fare, and attracting a cult status among devoted locals, Il Bacaro is now considered an institution, a quintessentially Melbourne dining experience. With its combination of exceptional food and wine, sophisticated Venetian-inspired good looks and old-style professional service, it is no surprise that Il Bacaro is regarded as one of Melbourne's premier Italian establishments.
