Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were lucky to get a table here on a Wednesday night this week (22nd Nov) We were looking for something a little different from the norm and we were so delighted to find this place. Think Tapas - Italian style. I eat out a...lot and I am very fussy/critical/hard to please. Absolutely everything was perfect; which unfortunately, I rarely say. From the initial welcome to the service to the food, wine and cocktails it was sublime. They recommended that ordering three dishes each may suffice but we are greedy and the dishes looked so good that we ordered five each: For sharing after all! We did struggle to eat everything, but after much pausing, we managed it! If I didn’t live over 200 miles away I would eat here every week.More

We had a couple of hours in Liverpool and stopped here for a quick lunch. It was fantastic. The staff were friendly and service was excellent. I had the 3 small plates and the chicken wings with Nduja were amazing as was the calamari with...a beautiful buttery mayo for dipping. My husband had the black pudding and chicken liver in an onion wine cream. He said it was one of the nicest things he has had in a restaurant in ages. If we come back to Liverpool, we will be eating here again.More

We had a great time in Bacaro, went for a date night midweek and were not disappointed by the atmosphere in there, just the right amount of busy, great size for a restaurant with servers able to regularly circulate. The food was 9.5/10. We ordered...9 different dishes and 4 drinks all together and all were amazing, we ordered: - Nduja Pasta - Beef & Pork Lasagne - Tomato & Basil Pizza - Chicken Milanese - Arancini - Braised beef croquets - Rosemary & Tyme Fries - Brownie & Ice Cream - Tiramisu We also ordered: 2 Mela Rossas 1 Pear Drop Bellini 1 Lemonade All of this came out to £81 which is incredible value for how much we ordered and the quality of the food and how quickly it arrived. I would highly recommend eating here as everything about it is brilliant. Our server Lucy was especially helpful in guiding us as to how much to order and was very attentive. Great time!More

Great tapas and 'small plates' restaurant. Not cheap at up to £10 each but all very good quality. Drinks are a bit steep - a pint, glass of wine and a sherry £18.50. Good staff and a pleasant ambiance. Definitely book in advance.

It was our first time here tonight, we thought the food was excellent. Everything was delicious, our only issue was that we ordered too much. Definitely going again!

Absolutely fantastic dining experience as always! Greeted and looked after so well by Rob & staff. Seated at far end of restaurant and asked if we could move to a four table in window. Sorted by Rob and we went on to enjoy the beautiful...food always deliver by Bacaro. We all said between us we had never once had bad food or service! A firm favourite for us all. Lamb Tagliatelle is my personal favourite but every dish we all had were stunning! Cannot wait to return!More

I’ve been here so many times and never once been disappointed. The food is always 100% and the staff are so good. The guy who is front of house made my day when he brought me a glass of fizz at my graduation meal. I...mean I was hinting with my mortar board but it was really appreciated. I’ve been back twice since and he’s such a credit to the restaurant. Always pleasant and so are the staff. Happy staff? Means they are probably in a great job and treated well. Recommend this as a go to if you are in town.More

I'm giving it 3 stars purely on my gf experience. Yes there was a clear gf menu and choices were great. BUT I was really looking forward to a pizzette and garlic bread as everyone else's looked great. So I was disappointed that instead of...lovely fluffy bread it was bought in bases like I can buy in the supermarket. Garlic was absent from the bread. Saying that, everything else was very good. My husband enjoyed his muggle pizza and the black pudding and chicken liver dish. I'd go again, but avoid the breads. The Little Italy cocktail was excellent.More

I visited this restaurant with a group of friends (having made a booking a few days prior). The restaurant was very busy and was a little bit tight as there were too many tables crammed in. Waiters immediately brought jugs of water to the table...and swiftly took orders. We did feel slightly rushed as staff seemed to pressure you into ordering all your tapas at once, rather than ordering at your pace. The menu was very varied and there were plenty of options. The food was delicious and authentically home-made. They also run cocktails of the day - so I would definitely recommend the Cherry Bakewell-Tini!More

Gorgeous food, especially the crab pasta. Would highly recommend, it's one of my favourite restaurants in Liverpool, but you need a booking.

I’d be lying if I said this place isn’t in my top places to eat in Liverpool. Whether you’re looking for a casual lunch or a dressy dinner, it’s just perfect! The service is always spot on. Staff are just one step ahead of you...every time. Glass is one sip from empty… they are already there to ask if you’d like another. Great cocktails and wine list. But the food is just something else. I love it when I go to a restaurant and you struggle to pick what to eat because there is so many great options! You can go light, heavy it just mix it up completely depending on the time of day or what you’re after! The goats cheese crostini, oh what a snack!More
