Lunch @ Il Bacaro

A trip to the city is a good excuse to make time to visit Il Bacaro.

We begin with the bruschetta of the day:


Bruschetta with pumpkin goat cheese and walnuts

Toasted bread topped with a creamy puree of sweet pumpkin, topped with crisp roasted walnuts and goat cheese.

For starters:


Quail broth with quail stuffed cannelloni

A rather fuzzy photo of a rather good dish - clear quail broth, served simply with micro herbs and a quail stuffed cannelloni



Wagyu carpaccio, Sicilian anchovies and parmesan

We've enjoyed variations of this dish in the past and as usual, a tasty example of carpaccio

For mains:


Pork cutlet and belly




Orecchietti with buffalo ragu


For desserts:


Rhubarb ricotta crumble with prickly pear sorbet

It's a welcome return to the crumble, this time it is partnered with prickly pear sorbet


Peanut semifreddo, caramel poached pear, aerated chocolate

With this combination of flavours and textures you can't go wrong.
