Absolutely love this place. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food. If I could tell myself anything when I moved here 4 years ago, I would tell myself to visit Bacareto (and that is not an exaggeration)! Our server made us feel so welcome (unfortunately didn’t get her name) and is a big influence in us definitely returning ❤️

Fabulous atmosphere and it’s great to see an independent bustle away on a Saturday night. Great location and a lovely place for a drink so I would come again for that. The waitress was lovely but the service was rough around the edges. We ordered a bottle of wine and it was plonked on the table - with no option to taste and the first glass wasn’t even poured for us. The food was okay & plates were very small. I think the bar should stress that this is a place for drinks and nibbles rather than drinks and small plates. To be honest, the food didn’t knock my socks off either. I love baccalà and was so excited to find a spot that served it in the UK but, unfortunately, it wasn’t amazing.

He estado viniendo a Bacareto desde que abrió y es categóricamente mi lugar favorito para comer y beber en Cardiff. El mejor spirtz, una selección seleccionada de los mejores cócteles y variantes de negroni que son realmente especiales. El menú y las listas de bebidas elaborados por expertos se ajustan regularmente para incluir ingredientes de temporada y probar platos nuevos e inspirados y vino, sidra, cerveza, etc. Honestamente, la comida es increíble - panelle es muy bueno para picar. Los cichetti y los platos más grandes son increíbles, y es genial para probar algo aventurero también. El diseño interior es discreto, atemporal, cómodo y muy fresco.

Gorgeous wine & cicchetti bar in central Cardiff. Super broad selection of Venetian inspired drinks (the spritzes are fantastic) and small plates. We really appreciated the amount of creative vegetarian/vegan options! I’m pescatarian and loved the bacala (salt fish) which came on focaccia, and the potatoes with aioli 🧄 Prices are reasonable too for the atmosphere, quality and location. I expect I’ll be a regular from now on..

We were so disappointed with the whole experience. It is marketed as an Italian restaurant but I really don't understand how. The food was so bland, and really really strange. The strangest dish was the Bagna Calda. It was advertised as prepared vegetables and sourdough. It was in reality raw veg including a celery stick, raw broccoli, 3 carrot sticks, a couple of lettuce leaves, some thin breadsticks and a watery dip. It cost £10. We sent it back. We were left feeling hungry and had to go somewhere else to eat afterwards. The service was mediocre. We didn't particularly feel comfortable all night. When we commented on the above dish, there were no apologies or understanding, the waitress just said 'yes it is unusual.' At least we didn't have to pay for that dish. A couple of other minor gripes, there was a musty smell, and the menu being on the wall was awkward. You have to take photo over people standing at the bar and order that way. Seems pretentious for the sake of it. A bit like the food. Bacareto might be good if you're just having a drink, but would not recommend for food.

Very disappointed - food was bland, service and general demeanor of staff was poor. I had no idea how the venue operated, do you sit at a free table, what do they serve etc yet noone greeted us or directed us to a table, a menu etc. It was very quiet and sufficiently staffed. My daughter and I felt very uncomfortable for the duration of our visit. To the point that rather than bother a member of staff I asked a very friendly customer where the ladies were. Not what I would class as a member of the service industry.

I’ve been here before and had a really nice time at the height of summer. Super busy on a Friday after work, served nicely food and drinks were great. Was looking forward to an excuse to come back. But I visited here on a Saturday night for a bottle of wine with my sister, and we were sat at the bar waiting for service on the two free stools at the end when we arrived. It’s a Saturday night, they were noticeably short of bar staff so we were happy to wait. Guy behind the bar is cleaning glasses and hands us a wine list as we sat down. We waited for a while, about twenty mins at this point, and as it quietens down the lady serving behind the bar looked at us as if we were something she stepped in on the street; so instead of wasting our time we decided to leave and go elsewhere. As soon as we stood up to leave and walked out the bar, she looked up, gave another dirty look and said sarcastically: thanks for coming guys! Obviously it’s a Saturday, it gets busy. Bars get short staff. Don’t take it out on the customers, we didn’t even complain or say anything about the wait! Will definitely not go back again, despite the previous positive visit.

Absolutamente gran almuerzo pasado en el maravilloso entorno de Bacareto. Tenía una selección de crostinis, el queso azul, nuez y miel era un punto destacado, pero el anacardo / ricotta también era genial. El Lamb Ragu en polenta era genial y ponzoñoso, rico sin ser demasiado y la barbacoa hispi repollo nos fue recomendado por la persona del bar, afirmando que era tan bueno que la hizo emocional. (Ella tenía razón) El postre fue helado casero de helado de pan de nuez, queso azul, miel y centeno fue sobresaliente, la mantequilla de cacahuete y carbón vegetal fue un segundo. Queer brewing, Lost and Grounded y Cynar spritz fueron grandes acompañamientos. Con todo 5 estrellas en general, bien hecho Owen y los chefs para un gran almuerzo, bien vale la pena el viaje desde Bristol

Love this place, chilled vibes when quiet... but also gets "busy" with the right energy. I've been here for post work drinks, dates and special occasions (and some outside supper clubs run at the venue) The "vibes" are always great... staff friendly.. all I can say is I whish more venues operated with the same ethos... Always feels like a treat... never a chore.

I really had high hopes for this dinner but service was a real let down from the moment of entering. It led us to leave early and head to another nice wine bar nearby ( which I'm glad we did) Food was good. I can't get over the service quality. Firstly made a reservation for 8.15pm. we ended up arriving at 8pm but no one really greeted us at the entrance. We walked in and saw staff at the bar area milling around- no one bothering to greet us. We waited till 8.15pm and sat down. The server was grumpy and took 10 mins to take our drinks order. We wanted to put a food order at the same time having waited 15 mins for our table to be ready. She refused and wanted to give drinks first. We waited another 10 mins to put in our food order. She also seemed to want to serve other tables first and was always gruff and grumpy when serving us but friendly and cheery for the other tables. It made our experience rather unpleasant. She would dump the dishes on the table and go. No politeness at all. The order of the dishes we received was weird. We got chichetti in a staggered way that didn't make sense though we gave our full order at the top. Read for details. 15 mins for the first pear and pecorino crostini to arrive. It's literally pear with pecorino. No sauce nothing. One thing I found disappointing is crostini here is never toasted unlike all chichetti bars we saw in Venice so it made it feel cold. Secondly, I don't think bringing the first few crostini takes this long. I noticed in other tables, they tended to get crostini together and larger plates after- not us. Another 6 mins for the nduja pizzette. Yummy. next up was fritter and lemon crostini. 5 mins later. Both yummy. Fritter little oily. I thought it was great, we are getting into a rhythm here. I was wrong. The rest of food comes 36 mins later albeit together! Devil egg : yummy Salumi platter : yummy Walnut crostini: good Potatoes with truffle, caraway : nice. All in drips and drops. No order to it. Overall, wine was good. We had Spanish red and house red. Food also good. Service was such a let down that I don't recommend this place at all.

Disappointing experience with poor dishes; examples from our order are stale bread, topped with lemon curd and cold leeks and the pork and fennel sausage which was coarse with gristle. We watched food sat in the pass for ages before being served. In total we ordered 9 dishes and not one was pleasant or delicious. The waiter was awkward and told us to take a photo of the menu on the wall to read amongst us! He said luckily we could get table service tonight because they were quiet. We were then told he knew nothing about wine as the wrong bottle was bought and the meal ended with him dropping a fork on my friend’s lap. The whole experience was disappointing and we left feeling hungry after what we could only describe as a few bad starters.

I really love Bacareto. It is the *only* authentically cool place in the city centre. Probably, the only place that isn't crazy expensive too. As a sober person.. To speak so highly of a *bar* is UNHEARD of. I've spent a lot of time in Venice and lived there for a short while and Bacareto perfectly encapsulates those cheeky chicchetti bars on Via Garibaldi. You feel like you're on holiday every time you go in because the decor is contemporary and unfussy and the outdoor terrace and bar seating in the open window emulates those you might find in some cool European cities. There really is no other place like it in Wales. Toilets are funky and it's so refreshing to see local artists supported by a business in the city. They've commissioned artists to do bathroom murals and design Tshirts... And tbh that's just bloody classy in my book. Food. The food is gooood. Devilled eggs? Yes please. Arancini? Yes please. Anything with walnuts, honey and goats cheese? A hell yes, please. It's not necessarily somewhere I would go to have a full on meal. I rarely do go there to have a proper dinner but I know many do. I just love a nice snack or 5 with a nice non alcoholic spritz. It's a safe space for me as someone with 4 years of sobriety under my belt. It's not somewhere that you see people binge drinking because the atmosphere just gives off happy and creative. Their NA offerings make me feel included and are actually delicious. Its honestly the only bar I'd be happy to spend money in these days. God bless Bacareto, may it continue to be the best spot in town. 🙏

I had high hopes for this restaurant, so I booked a table for my friends leaving do. Service was very poor, sadly due to lack of staff. They were pleasant though! I appreciate on a Saturday evening staff are always rushed off their feet and I think they had an event upstairs. The menu was behind the bar which was difficult to see due to all the patrons crowding around the bar. Only bar snacks were available and for what I ordered I felt it was very overpriced. For example, cheese of the day was two wedges of brie, a jelly with what I assumed was bruchetta - which was terrible. And only like 5 tiny pieces of that. Me and my friends ordered multiple dishes but were disappointed. It took a very long time for most of the food to arrive (over an hour) which would have been OK if we had been warned. Left hungry and frustrated.

If you don't drink alcohol and you're vegan or vegetarian you're usually consigned to a small, dusty, unimaginative corner of the menu. Bacareto bucks that trend by having a predominantly plant based menu giving plenty of choice for those who don't eat meat. The plates are delicious and inventive (because we were close to St David's Day, Bacareto were serving Italian/Welsh fusion dishes) and we sampled 8 in total - every one a winner. The fennel-topped polenta deserves special mention but it was all great. The dishes are small so order plenty - but they're also not very expensive so you can afford to do so. Beers and small plates for two £40 - I reckon that's decent value for a busy and funky city centre bar. A note on the beer. They have Wiper and True Tomorrow on draft. If you're recently sober like we are it's difficult to express how nice it is not to be singled out and instead you can have a draft pint like everyone else. Downstairs is cosy and bustling, upstairs is a bit quieter. I'd recommend the former if there's just a couple of you for drinks and nibbles. Service was great and we would have lingered longer if we didn't have to go off to the theatre. We'll definitely come back.

My girlfriend and I had a difficult time here this evening. We were seated upstairs. Despite me putting it on the booking reservation form, the waiter had no idea about what was gluten free on the menu. He then roughly made a guess at what he didn't think contained it before we agreed he should get the allergen menu. He then came back upstairs after checking and told me he didn't bring it because it was "too complicated" and that he would just tell me what is gluten free or not. By this point, you must appreciate I couldn't put my trust 100% in him. I appreciate that you cannot guarantee something being totally gluten free, but I think even a small indication on the menu should be implemented. Accidentally eating gluten can be really dangerous for some people and I think having a greater awareness among FOH staff would go a long way. The menu formatting was difficult too. There were drinks menus on the table but no food menus- just one big one upstairs out of view of most customers. The food itself was lovely and although it took a while, we expected it to because of how busy it can get. I'm sorry to leave this review. I wanted to have a good time, but the lack of awareness around a prominent allergen in the menu is concerning.

The only comment was inconsistency on the arancini, we ordered in the beginning and were given two balls as a portion, when we reordered we were only given one - we queried this with our server and was told it was only one per portion so I guess we were lucky with the first portion but that’s the only reason for dropping one star. Definitely recommended, the food was super fresh and the servers very friendly and accommodating.

Great food, amazing choice of drinks, service is friendly and accommodating, and lots of vegan choices! Price was very reasonable especially considering we had a bottle of wine and other drinks. This place is a new firm favourite.

Really beautifully designed and laid out place. Have been about 6 times and it's a good place. Great drinks, service is always a bit straight faced, not unfriendly just on the cool side. Food is fine for snacking. What they make is tasty. Go for the drinks and interiors 👍👍

Venetian vibes in central Cardiff. Excellent wines by the glass, amaro spritzes and a great menu of crostini and small bites.

Nice, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. The drinks selection was large- wines, spritzers and a large selection of beers and ciders. Prices were average for city centre. The Aperetivo offer (4-6 weekdays) was a good deal.

Terrible customer service. One member of staffed asked another to serve me, he just ignored me and carried on cleaning the coffee machine. Very odd and awkward. Shame, because other staff were great and bar has a good vibe.

Once and no more. We were waiting for 45 min and when we decide to ask them what was going on with the food, they’ve said they forgot to order it. Rissoto we ordered was full of oil. Surely we won’t come back

Had lunch here with my friends while visiting Cardiff and really enjoyed it. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and though the food took a bit longer, the portions were generous and tasty. Would definitely come back!

Ate here last night with a friend. Had the loveliest time, the food was on point, absolutely delicious, the calamari was superb, along with the arrancini, lamb and charcuterie board. On top of that, we were made to feel so welcome by the owner and staff, it was really nice to have a chat and a smily happy person serve us. A lovely atmosphere, couldn't fault it. And the best part considering we are in Pontcanna, the price was very very reasonable. Excellent food, excellent service 5 stars all around. Thank you 💜
