Welcome to bàcaro, Cayman's only authentic Italian tapas restaurant and wine bar. Inspired by the traditional 'Bacari' of Venice, their menu features delicious and affordable small plates prepared by their Venetian Chef and Owner Federico Destro. Choose from their menu of wines by the glass or opt for a creative handcrafted cocktail. Enjoy your drink inside their bright and airy avant-garde dining room or out on the beautiful breezy terraces overlooking the passing sailboats of the Cayman Islands Yacht Club.
Their extensive menu features a large selection of cichetti (nibbles), piccoli piatti (small plates) and grandi (large plates) to choose from that are perfect for sharing. The working crowd can take advantage of Bàcaro's weekday $35 Express Lunch special for a quick and tasty bite to eat, and Monday‒Saturday from 5pm‒7pm, join them for Happy Hour specials on select drinks and tapas. They also offer a Sunday Feast menu every week where you can enjoy three courses for $45, plus specials on selected wines.
As the sun sets over the waterway, and Happy Hour segues into dinner, a few must-have dishes include the local red snapper slider, tuna tartare, beetroot gnocchi, lobster tagliolini and grilled rosemary lamb chops. Afterwards, treat yourself to one of their sumptuous desserts or relocate to their spacious bar area for a digestif.
The warm hospitality of Restaurant Manager and Owner Barnabas Bako and his team, combined with their delectable food and drink offerings in a beautiful canal front setting, make dining at Bàcaro an unforgettable experience.
