Lunch @ Il Bacaro

A revist to Il Bacaro is long overdue.



We begin with glasses of Prosecco as we peruse the menu.




For starters, we decide to share a selection of dishes.


Bruschetta of the day - Roman Beans (a stew of onion, tomato and green beans) and ricotta


Silver served at the table - saffron cured kingfish (left), shallow fried calamari (right)

For mains:


Paalo has the goat served on farro with broad beans.


I have the grappa marinated suckling pig served with chicory.


We do order a side of sauteed spinach with parmesan.

For dessert:


Paalo has the rhubarb and ricotta crumble


and I have the poached pear tart - the pear is stuffed with italian custard


and it's served with hazelnut ice-cream.
