    Very great experience dining here! I usually come here when it’s super packed but luckily the day I went (and the time) it was not packed at all. With it being less busy, the ambiance was nice and quiet. I was able to hear my conversations. The food was amazing!! The Sweet Corn Agnolotti was very good but lacked a sufficient amount for how much the dish is. The Spicy Pomodoro was amazing!! One of my favorites here and for the amount of pasta it has, it is worth your money. I was not expecting to like the Banana Tiramisu but I enjoyed it so much! I wish I got two but I ended up getting so full haha. Overall 9/10 experience!

    Food was excellent  and the ambience and view was amazing. But the only thing is the lady outside told us there were no tables available so she put us on the waitlist. We waited for an hour, but when we looked up on OpenTable, there were lots of spaces available so don’t rely on the people on the front desk and check OpenTable for reservations and availabilities.

    Food, service and concept are outstanding. The food is refined and flavorful, and the selection is just right. Same goes for the drinks: not extensive but top notch quality and just the right sorts. The concept is beautiful, tasteful, really nice and with subdued elegance, without being pretentious. Loved the covered patio where we ate, though it was pretty loud in spite of the tables not being crowded. Parking was easy. The outside patio is under renovation (in December), cannot wait to enjoy it when it gets warmer and when it will be ready.

    I recently dined at Bacari PDR and had an amazing experience that I just have to share! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a treat, and it's clear that the chefs put a lot of care into their creations. 🍽️ The service was equally impressive, with the staff being attentive and friendly throughout the meal. They made sure we felt welcome and well taken care of. While it did take a little longer than expected for our drinks to arrive, the overall experience more than made up for it. The staff's warm demeanor and the quality of the food truly stood out. If you're looking for a place with fantastic food and excellent service, I highly recommend giving Bacari PDR a try. It's definitely worth the visit! 🍷✨
