Bacco

A genuinely friendly family-run Italian where you’re greeted with a smile whether you’re a regular or not. Bacco, with its white walls, stylish seating and modern art collection, has all the visual trappings of a contemporary Italian restaurant, but at its heart is an old-fashioned trattoria. The cooking is accurate and generous – expect classic pastas and simple antipasti at lunchtime, although the evening tends to be a more serious and expensive affair, where pasta gives way to calf’s liver and roast cod. The location is ideal for a theatre-bound pit stop, and the higgledy-piggledy layout also makes the dining room popular for quiet romantic trysts. Businesses and birthday parties often use the private dining room next door.

Bacco “the God of wine” brings you good food, good wine and good company. The service style is very attentive yet relaxed. Stefano, the owner of the restaurant and his Piemonte Chef, Luca are proud of providing freshly cooked food using with the freshest of ingredients. The Piemonte chef adds his own favourites like vitello tonnato, filled pasta and ragout. The Italian wine list is extensive – ranging from small producers to well-known vineyards.
