Il Bacaro (Cucina E Bar): One of the Best Italian Restaurants in Melbourne

It doesn’t get any more romantic than II Bacaro!
Don’t blink, or you might miss the doorway to the small and cosy Il Bacaro, one of the most romantic Italian restaurants Melbourne has to offer! This modern little cucina and bar has developed a cult following among locals as a classic Melbourne dining experience.

Romantically lit, Il Bacaro’s Venetian-inspired décor and cosy leather seats will have you loved-up before entrée. If you’re looking for drinks, we recommend sitting at the elegant marble bar, where you can watch the skilled bartenders whip together your chosen concoction. Otherwise, enjoy the traditional dining experience with matching old-style service. You’ll find modern-day Italian classics pervading the menu, with antipasti, pasta e risotto and secondi options to tempt you. (We especially recommend the cheese platter—amazing!) And let’s not forget the decadent desserts! Dolci selections include everything from cheesecake to fairy floss to gelato. You’re guaranteed to find something to placate your palate.

II Bacaro is the ideal place for an intimate tête-à-tête, and if you need a conversation starter, let the food inspire you! This simple, stylish dining experience is bound to leave a lasting (positive) impression upon your date.
