Fantastic! 6/20/2008

I have been to Bacaro two times now and feel that I have now seen and tasted enough to write about it. It is very difficult to offer something different to todays diner and Bacaro does it in spades! I must admit the first time I arrived, I was a bit intimidated by the wonderful assortment of cichetti sp? or as it is becoming known to the droves of people flocking to this restaurant, Italian Tapas. Our server quickly and thoughly explained this part of the menu and we passed on the interesting approach to stay more traditional and order appetizers, entrees and desserts from the main menu instead. Our meal was exquisit! We started with a Strawberry & Field Greens Salad which was and incredible balance of the sweetest strawberries, feta-i think, and toasted walnuts over an assortment of really tasty greens. We split the Pasta Funghi as a seperate course as suggest by our server. This dish has got to be one of the best dishes I have ever had. The pasta arrived at the table with a poached egg on top. The aroma of earthy mushrooms and truffle coming off this dish was intoxicating. Our server suggested that we break the egg and toss the pasta to create the sauce. Our entree was steak with slices of avocado, cherry tomatoes, shallots and cilantro. I am still lusting over this pasta, but our steak was fantastic too. We finished with the Chef's Suggestion of homemade chocolates with grappa pairing...wow! I didn't know the first time we dined here, but I heard the chef was the chef at Al Forno before opening Bacaro which explains his pedigree. There are not enough letters left for me to write about our next experience, but lets just say, we went back for the tapas and cured meats and cheeses and had another incredible experience, completely different from the last. We ate on the first floor this time which has a different atmosphere to it and a great vibe. Two times, with two completely different experiences, both incredlble. I can't wait to go back. more
