Bacaro in Weymouth and Portland

Lovely food, great service. Good central spot. Staff were helpful and extremely pleasant. Food was well presented and delicious.

Dining alone, I was made very welcome and found a good table. I was late eating but again not made to feel unwelcome. Chose spaghetti al olio which was absolutely just what was needed accompanied by a large glass of very nice sauvignon blanc. Would definitely recommend. Nice atmosphere with a mix of people.

We were a large group booking in the height of the summer season with a big order, arrived a little late with last minute order changes and nothing was too much trouble. There was a small mix up with one order but was rectified promptly and a free garlic bread to apologise. All meals were fresh and tasted amazing. Bacaro has a great vibe and something for everyone. All of the staff were friendly and happy and couldn’t be faulted. Love this place

"Bacaro" means "nice bar" in Italian. This is not simply a nice bar. This is a 5 star restaurant. Located right on the seafront, most tables have an awe inspiring view of the blue of the sky and sea and the white of the waves and cliffs. As if the sea air wasn't intoxicating enough, the drinks were cheap, the music was enchanting and the food was inspired. The chefs worked like lightning in the open kitchen, bantering as they went. The front of house staff were diligent and charming, always prepared to go the extra mile to make my dining experience exceptional. Bacaro doesn't feel too fancy as to make you feel uncomfortable, but still seems to hold itself to an extremely high standard. Bacaro welcomes all comers, and in my short time there, they treated everyone I saw come through the doors with respect. The flavour of the food was electric. I spoke to the staff and they told me most of their ingredients are locally sourced. Every bite felt fresh. So much care has gone into crafting such a massively diverse menu. So many different items, from burgers to linguine, and from pizza to risotto. Unfortunately, I didn't get to sample every dish while I was there but from the presentation of each dish that I saw, it's clear that every bit of food that leaves that kitchen is prepared with love. It's nice to see people laugh and joke while they're at work. It appears at least, like the staff enjoy working with eachother and work together well. My visit to Bacaro was flawless. It was everything I needed to rejuvenate me after a long week being a park ranger. Bacaro is more than a nice bar, it's a phenomenal, extra-special restaurant. Ranger rick, Signing out.

Lovely friendly service and good location, although music from next door a bit noisy. Unfortunately though the food was not so good. Pizzas bases were tasteless and tough - I don’t think the dough had risen at all. Tasteless tomato sauce and way too much cheese. My beetroot risotto was tasty but too much liquid and not much rice. It may have been an off night but on the strength of it, we won’t be back.

Loads of gluten free, Dairy free options! We went for the pizza, with a vegan cheese, but it's a welcome change to see so many gluten free options. The staff were exceptional even on an Easter weekend. Prompt to greet and seat us, took our order quickly, regularly checked in and didn't forget anything we asked for even though we were seated outside. Super friendly. I'd definitely come back

I took my Boyfriend for a birthday lunch. It’s always very clean and the girl on shift was very friendly & helpful. One of our favourite places to eat in Weymouth. The food is delicious. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.

in | Dinner | £20–30 Our family enjoyed a fabulous dinner here on Thursday night. The place is so lovely and the food was served with so much pride and tasted delicious. The lady who looked after us was so friendly, kind and helpful. She was the only person serving the tables and she was rushed off her feet but she kept smiling and made us feel welcome throughout our meal. We had steaks, risotto with a steak topping and the chicken tagliatelle - shout out to the chef - they were all wonderful. A few months ago we had a Sunday lunch there too - this was equally amazing! I’d go back for one of those again anytime!! Please visit this wonderful Weymouth gem of a restaurant- you won’t be disappointed 💛 Thank you Bacaro

Very pleased with our first visit to Bacaro. Good Italian flavours. Will definitely visit again. Reasonable priced meals, drinks and wines bring the price up but that’s the same everywhere. Staff were very attentive and pleasant which certainly makes a difference . I will have no problem recommending. We visited on a Saturday evening and there were several young groups celebrating so found it a little noisy. Will consider mid week next time. Check if they have a mid week offer if you’re visiting.

Went in and shown to nice spacious comfortable seating. Really great interior with relaxing atmosphere, For a Sunday great choice of food even on a limited menu. Any pizzas can be ordered. Between three of us we had: Corn Fed Roast Chicken which was so nice and easy to eat with all the trimmings too. A basic pizza and Mozzarella Garlc Bread which was all cooked very well. As I am writing the review I’ll now come on to the highlight for me, Fillet Mignon for Sunday lunch complete with a really tasty peppercorn sauce fries and salad. Omfg sorry not sorry for the implied naughty 😈 word a perfectly cooked steak with tons of flavour, medium Rare for me. Faultless. So good, The service in Bacarro is attentive just when you need it and left alone when you don’t. A fantastic lovely rekaxing and laid back welcoming restaurant selling food at a reasonable rate which is a joy to behold.

Amazing roast dinner. Perfect quantity and quality outstanding. Good selection of vegetables.Friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommended

What a brilliant night, great food, exceptional service and very well priced drinks, all in all a 5* experience, thank you team Bacaro

Everything on the plate was delicious! A lovely selection of vegetables, roast potatoes and a huge Yorkshire pudding. Yummy gravy. Could not fault the dinner. Everyone is really friendly and happy to help. A definite recommendation for a delicious lunch 🤩

Came in for an impromptu double date which as always blew our socks off! The lamb pasta as recommended was absolutely to die for and all round everybody was absolutely thrilled with their meals. Can’t wait to visit again soon

After visiting a couple of time recently for “pre-show” meals, we noticed that Bacaro did a Sunday roast, so we thought we’d give it a go. Both and I my wife must say that without doubt it was the best Sunday roast we had ever had at a pub or restaurant and very nearly as good as the best home made version! Everything was cooked to perfection, was super tasty and so well seasoned!! Also, as usual, the staff were excellent!! The only surprise was that it wasn’t busier!

We wanted to eat in the evening but fully booked so decided to go for lunch. It was clean and warm no with festive decor. We had three courses and the food was fresh and tasty. The lasagne was amazing.

Great food served with a smile. We visited on bonfire night so was busy but food and service was excellent. Nice atmosphere. We wernt hurried but o long wait. Food was served nice and hot and was delicious. Couldn't fault it. Lovely meal.

Came in on a rainy Saturday for a bite to eat! As a solo person visiting a restaurant, I was made to feel comfortable and welcomed. The service from Chloe and Grace was the best in town. The show stopper itself....the Fillet! The steak was cooked to perfection and you could have used a butter knife to cut it! Expertly seasoned with hot crispy fries, gorgeous peppercorn sauce and a fresh and crispy dressed salad. Such a reasonable price for a dish of exquisite flavours! Will definitely be returning!

Had a lovely meal with friends midweek. Brilliant atmosphere and really busy. Service was amazing and staff were really attentive. Food was delicious and came out quickly. Would highly recommend.

Caught up with an old friend who lives in Weymouth. She booked this place because of the bottomless drink package . I don’t think I’ve ever had better service, it was amazing! The staff were very friendly and were fast and efficient , my drinks were tuning up before my glass was empty (the bottomless drink package) and the food was great. We had a great time, thank you, wish I lived nearer.

Absolutely amazing experience. The staff were lovely and attentive they really couldn't do enough for us. We had the bottomless brunch and it was excellent. We will definitely be back again thank you Bacaro

Went here on a bit of a muggy day with a couple of friends thought we would come here for some nice lunch but was wrong staff are standing around chatting laughing with each other whilst we’ve waited 20 minutes to order drinks, food was ok at best overpriced for what it is WILL NOT BE GOING BACK after seeing that staff.

great food, great drink, lovely staff and super sea views We would recommend you go, its a great seafront venue

Lovely place with a good vibe on the sea front with lots of choice - lots of Italian style food. Great option on the menu for cheaper eats too - good idea. Friendly staff and quick service. Gluten free pizza base available in all pizzas. We sat outside which was lovely. Would recommend.

Superb meal , amazing service. Couldn't fault anything. Busy, vibrant and a definite one to come back to

Great food, really attentive staff. My partner and I had a really memorable meal out. Highly recommended 👌

Lovely food, great staff and pleasant environment. Will definitely come again. Well worth a visit x

Barcaro has a great vibe, good food and friendly, attentive and genuine staff. Recommend for a chilled dinner with good vibe tunes.

An outstanding spot...Food was excellent/vide great and cemented with outstanding service! Was busy but staff so individually attentive. Came with friends from out of town...Did not disappoint!

Excellent food delivered by happy staff We booked on a Monday evening expecting the restaurant to be fairly busy but we were surprised at just how popular this beach front restaurant is. We were shown to our table quickly and efficiently by the amazing Chloe...

i LOVED it the food was amazing and the service was great!! what i love particularly was the music in the background it was an absolutely amazing playlist they had and i loved it so much their food was so good and it was not...

We had dinner here. The food was good and the service was friendly. The do a chicken carbonara which is very creamy and lovely

Good portions, not so much choice on menu for chicken dishes, little pricey, incredibly slow service. One waiting one on bar but only 3 tables and long waits, chased up few times and for bill. Turned a family away saying fully booked but there was...

Fantastic service, very friendly service, especially Grace, great food, reasonably priced. Thank you ❤️

The decor inside this restaurant is great. We were sat in the only table for two, by the babies high-chairs etc yet others before us (2 people) were given better seats and there wasn’t many people in the restaurant. All meals were presented nicely. There...

The restaurant is beautiful, really nicely decorated, looks like you could expect a fine Italian food. You don't need to book and it was the only one around that fit the 8 of us. Unfortunately the stuff was completely disorganised. There was just a few...

This isn't an authentic Italian restaurant however, the food and service is pretty good. We had a large group over two tables so we did have some minor issues with paying the bill but that's to be expected when everyone is paying for what they...

Lovely atmosphere, we had my daughters little dog and he was made very welcome too. The selection of food was very good and the quality excellent. the staff were absolutely brilliant. Shame about the awfully behaved Belgian kids who were there on our evening, fortunately...

There were four of us. Food was average at best and mine was cold. I wouldn't go there again given how many places there are on the front.

We have only just returned to our holiday accommodation after enjoying a fabulous dinner here this evening. The food was fabulous and all 10 in our party thoroughly enjoyed the food. The cheese fondue was delicious, as were all the dishes. In particular the goats...

What a beautiful venue. The aesthetics were brilliant and the food was superb. Waitresses were lovely and polite which added to the experience.

Absolutely disgusted we eat here twice a month, booked here for a meal with friends this evening only to get a call to say your reservation is a outside table and it’s to cold to eat outside. Wow firstly the booking system didn’t give any...

We are new to Weymouth and just saying the one night so wasn't sure where to eat when we came across Bacaro, we liked the look of the menu and the prices were reasonable. We were welcomed in and sat down at a booth, I...

Lovely restaurant, amazing food and fantastic staff. Our waitress even prepared the dough for the pizza’s and garlic flatbread.

Great menu, nice atmosphere in the clean and well maintained restaurant. Superb food expensive but not over the top and you’ll be satisfied with quantity and quality! Really fast and friendly and attentive staff who were clearly happy in their work! 5 stars all round....

On a very wet night we chose bacaro because it was close, carbonara & pizza Very good but a little above what we expected but the goats cheese brochetta although great tasting but at almost £9 for 2 very small portions was ridiculous, certainly won’t...

We ordered pizzas and they were really tasty, also love the decor and ambience of the place. The staff were lovely and very welcoming.

Delicious food and very accommodating for young children. My 4 year old had a children’s marguerites which was a perfect size. I had the vegan risotto and not being vegan it was very tasty! My husband had a chicken roast as they are available on...

Visited with friends and sat outside in the nice seating area. It has a really nice vibe here and made me feel like I was on holiday....even though it's less than a mile from home! 😅 The food was tasty but portions were a little...

Came here as a group of 5 children and 6 adults and were welcomed by all of the staff who were brilliant. The food came out great, and the beer was cold. We loved the vibe of the restaurant and the decor is super cool....

Booked here as menu looked lovely and wanted somewhere to watch fireworks. Arrived early to have a drink first which was welcomed by the staff. Drinks served quickly and staff very attentive to take our order to which we explained wanted a drink first so...

Seven of us went here for lunch. A staff member immediately offered to put two tables together for us. The drinks and food were prompt and the service was impeccable. The food was delicious and would definitely call again if we were in the area!

We organised a family birthday celebration meal at Bacaro and the communication with the manager made this a seamless and wonderful experience. They accommodated us and our small family dogs on a lovely long table in the restaurant and even put up birthday banners and...

Firstly I must commend the service. When we arrived there was just one person serving(Chloe) and whilst she was busy with another group of people we were acknowledged. Service was terrific and the menu choices perfect for what we were after.

This restaurant is situated on the main seafront road near the sand sculpture which is on the other side. It is a colourful, quirky place which is clean and bright and airy. You can sit inside or out. I had scallops to start and peperoni...

Popped in for lunch after a morning on the beach. Friendly service and great looking venue. Modern & trendy yet family friendly. Toilets clean and up together apart from a couple of locks broken on cubicles. The food was great. Reasonable price for the waterfront...

Decent food, poor service. Plates were too small for the pricing, and please tell your waiter to pull his pants up, nobody wants to see his underwear, and his attitude was interresting.

Came to Bacaro earlier this month and it was an incredible experience!! The presentation of the food was outstanding but the staff made us feel so welcome. I was served by a young waitress trinity, she was absolutely amazing as were the other staff also...

Great place for a beer and some food. Staff lovely will be back. 4 times in one week always welcoming

Had a really nice bottomless brunch Saturday. The sharing boards are lovely. Staff were really approachable and friendly. Big up Chloe !!

Great food, atmosphere and very friendly staff. We had the mussels, burger, carni pizza and meatballs and couldn't fault any of it. Will be back the next time we're in Weymouth

Lovely staff doing their best but really poor food. Starter was over salted with huge lumps of rock salt which I mainly picked off. Bruschetta was lightly toasted bread not oiled and grilled properly. Pizza was soggy and had to go back to be cooked...

Three local ladies out for a much needed catch up but unfortunately we won’t be back…which is a really shame as local businesses need local people to support them especially during the long off peak season. This is a real shame especially after we’ve heard...

When on holiday in Weymouth We were going to have something to eat at this restaurant unfortunately we did not stay as we were told there was no disabled toilet plus the toilet was downstairs there for my wife was unable to access the toilet...

Great restaurant with friendly, helpful staff,...food was good tasty and well cooked. ...we all enjoyed our meal there!

‘Ladies that lunch’. We had a wonderful lunch as previously. Thank you again for an excellent experience.

So initially we were welcomed on arrival by a polite waiter who told us to sit down and he’d bring the menus over. He then proceeded to go about his business walking past us multiple times despite the place not being busy while we waited....

Met up with a friend who lives in Weymouth and visited Bacaro. The place was quite busy with early Easter holidaymakers but our waitress ( Chloe ) was wonderfully warm, attentive and efficient. Our Pizzas were excellent if a little smaller than we'd expected, but...

Beautiful good and the nicest staff in town. We were very welcome. The food was amazing and they couldn't do enough for us. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening

Our 1st visit to Bacaro did not disappoint. I’m glad I booked as even on a Friday evening in March the restaurant was busy. I enjoyed the goats cheese bruschetta and the fungi pizza. My husband thought the meatball starter and special fillet steak with...

Bland good, nowhere near enough flavour for Italian food. Child's meatball was so spicy she couldn't eat it. Cheesy pesto chips were bland and strange. Won't be returning.

We bumbled in here for a bit of lunch and wow what a surprise. Firstly the staff couldn’t do enough to welcome us! The food shocked us it was their twist on some of the classic Italian dishes and boy have they made them a...

After a blustery walk on the beach this was the perfect way to warm up! Our two Bulldogs were made to feel welcome too which was perfect for us! Atmosphere was lovely, gin was top notch, pizza was delicious & service was great. Would definitely...

We specifically came in to the restaurant during the day and spoke to the manager to ensure we can book a table that we wanted, with a view we wanted..to make the birthday meal special. Upon return at the agreed time we found out that...

Four of us came to try this restaurant to see if the other members of our lunch group would like to come for lunch. It passed with flying colours. The food is of a high standard and the service excellent. We have booked to come...

We visited this charming Italian cafe bar on a grey December day. We were going to have a drink but ended up staying for 2 1/2 hours. The pizza is amazing and the staff could not have been nicer! Would highly recommend.

Could. Not. Fault. Absolutely stunning 3 course meal to start off our Christmas. I don’t have a picture of my steak unfortunately but I didn’t even need the sauce, it melted in the mouth. Service was good and couldn’t compliment each course enough. The bucksfizz...

Should of read reviews before turning up, but like to make my own judgements for reviews. Stood at the door for 5 minutes being ignored, should of been the first red flag, listened to a waiter asking a couple what they'd ordered, as they were...

On a brief trip to Weymouth, my friend and I dropped in for a coffee, and charmed by the service (Shannon?), we stayed for lunch. The food was surprisingly good, and the service excellent and friendly. Prices very reasonable.

Some great tasting food let down by an abundance of cheese on the pizzas The risotto and sea bass were really tasty well portioned meals. But the amount of cheese on all the kids pizzas was way too much. As a result none of them...

Booked on the strength of the trip advisor reviews. Was not as expected, food was mediocre at best, and not authentic Italian by any stretch of the imagination. Will not be revisiting

Family special occasion at Bacaro. Very tasty food and excellent service especially from Lucy who really looked after us well. Would particularly recommend the fennel sausage and goats cheese pizza. Would definitely recommend as also positioned overlooking the beach. Perfect.

Celebrated our own family birthdays with Bacaro’s own 1st birthday meal deal and we were not disappointed. The steaks were mouth-wateringly scrumptious, the stuffed mushrooms and triple cooked chips to die for and a free bottle of wine was included with the meal for 2...

Couldn’t fault it. Friendly staff. Wine always topped it before our glasses were empty. Definitely go again for a bottomless brunch.

Had a really nice meal here, both pasta dishes one meat and one vegetarian which were both very tasty. The restaurant looks great and inviting and the staff were very friendly. Bonus for us was that we could take our dog in.

What a fantastic night at Bacaro in Weymouth… amazing food and wine, I highly recommend the Borola red….. great choice of starters and mains and great sides too…. Staff were brilliant, attentive and prompt… friendly and professional…. In a great setting on the sea front…...

What can I say amazing! Staff were outstanding Gemma and dale can't thank you enough for our experience you guys had a yes attitude the whole time and couldn't do enough for us! Would highly recommend this experience to anyone food and wine choice was...

Gem of a find. Friendly staff, wonderful food, delicious wine and dog friendly. Couldn't ask for anything better! Family business, not a chain, will return.

Called in for lunch. We were met by friendly attentive staff, and the pizzas we ordered were equal to, if not better, than any I have ever had in Italy. The salads we ordered were also deliciously interesting. Loved it!

Best garlic bread with cheese ever!! Lasagne and spaghetti with meatballs absolutely awesome topped with great service! Fab place!

Friends staff, lovely atmosphere, amazing food and service would definitely go back, 100% recommend going!!

Lovely Italian food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. We were all made to feel welcome, including the children.

Met a friend for lunch on our break between shifts and turned out the chef was her neighbour so asked him to surprise us... very happy with the result... squid starter, with med salad and the beetroot, fig and goats cheese pizza... something i would...

We had an evening meal here and the food was great but a special mention for the staff working there, they were very but not overly attentive and made us feel very welcome. Definitely a return trip when we are down that way again.

5 out of 5. Excellent service by the staff, very helpful. Food was pipping hot & tasted delicious. The atmosphere was friendly & professional. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you all for a very enjoyable meal. Turner family

We arrived in Weymouth , not knowing anything about the area. It was a busy Sat on a hot day. we had intended on having fish and chips or pub food but some of the chippies were already closing at 6.30pm and the pubs were...

Very busy but we had booked. Very keen to serve us drinks, asking us quite often, but the staff were friendly and attentive. I had the Risotto with beef medallion and it was excellent!! there was no coffee on the menu and they either don't...

Nice modest menu of quality and in an enjoyable setting on the Esplanade with sea views. The Staff were good and the prices are modest. They take walk ins.

We booked the bottomless bubbles.l, confimation email received the day before. We were shown to our table 20 mins later still waiting to be served. We called someone over who told us that they don't do the bottomless bubbles anymore and couldn't honor it because...

As our final day in Weymouth we picked Bacaro. We felt extremely welcome on arrival, the service was amazing from all the friendly staff; an all round lovely place. Paul was extremely accommodating! The atmosphere is lush and I live the decoration and foliage! Thank...
