Bacareto is a relaxed Cardiff bar and restaurant inspired by the traditional bàcari of Venice. It shifts naturally from a laid back cafe atmosphere into a busier evening bar, with counter food, table service and art commissioned for the space.
Cicheti, the Venetian tradition of small bites and snacks, shape the food offering. A counter is kept stocked with crostini, while additional plates come from the kitchen, allowing diners to choose one or two snacks with a drink or build a varied shared meal.
The menu changes with the seasons and what suppliers are growing, so individual dishes do not stay fixed. Pizzetta, panelle, arancini, olives and topped crostini illustrate the Italian direction, and a high proportion of the offering is plant focused.
Spritz is the natural drinks partner, supported by a carefully sourced selection of wine, beer and cider. Weekday aperitivo hours reinforce the Venetian influence, while dog friendly bar and outdoor areas add to the informal, neighbourhood character.
