Perfect restaurant to grab some Italian small plates!…read more * * * EXPERIENCE * * * A rainy evening at Liverpool, wandering around to find a dinner place and walked into Bacaro. Service was good and attentive, my server did a good job explaining the highlights of the broad menu and yes I was by myself and had 4 dishes, but since the portion was not very big I'm glad I actually got the chance to try out all those wonderful food. * * * FOOD * * * Roasted Tomatoes, Mozzarella and Fresh Basil Pizza: A It tasted just like the name of this dish, the roasted tomatoes added extra grilling taste to the pizza, the dough was perfectly made, lots of mozzarella and bail used in this rather small personal pizza. Roasted Cod: A It's my first time trying creamed mash mixing with egg yolk, the slimy texture was very interesting. Cod was perfectly prepared. But overall it was really the egg yolk that added the delightfulness to the dish. Braised Ox Cheek: A It's kind of gamey which I actually enjoy a lot. It was perfectly cooked, very tender and temperature was very even across the whole piece. The sauce was really interesting, I tried to figure out what it was but still couldn't, there was some truffle and bone marrow flavor to it, and with the creamy mushroom.... perfect. Risotto: A- Perfectly made from texture standpoint, the whole dish was slightly salty but the asparagus added hint of freshness. Lots of flavor on the palate, the snow peas added another layer of texture to the sticky risotto. Overall I enjoyed every dish that evening. Glad that I found such a wonderful place in Liverpool.

If you want good Italian food and superb cocktails then I can't recommend this place enough. Gusto…read moreis located on the Albert Dock in the centre of Liverpool city centre and is a really trendy up market restaurant with a fantastic buzz about it. Serving up classic Italian dishes such as carbonara, lasagne and ravioli to name but a few, this place has a really good feel about it. The staff are friendly and professional throughout and the food is fantastic. All food is cooked fresh to order so there may be a little bit of a wait but trust me the wait is well worth it. The portion sizes are good and don't leave you feeling that you've eaten half a whale! In fact I'd go as far to say they are just right. I can polish off three courses no problem. Calamari to start, followed by classic spaghetti carbonara and an excellent creme brûlée to round off the meal. They also have a fantastic cocktail bar which shelves the best pina colada I have ever tasted. You wouldn't want it before a meal though because it is quite heavy and could fill you up quite easily. They do serve a fantastic mojito and a great daiquiri if that's your thing? Now you will have to book to get in here. You'd be very lucky to get a table if you just walk in off the street without a reservation. That to me is a sign of a good restaurant though. Saturday nights are usually rammed as you would expect but I'd still recommend booking a table mid week if your planning to go there? I'd very much recommend this place to anyone who appreciates good Italian food in a fresh vibrant environment and likes a drink or two.

Because my bf and I weren't familiar with the area, I just googled "gluten-free food" and this restaurant came up and looked pretty positive. By the time we walked there, it was very busy. And so incredibly lucky, as the host said we were the very last walk-ins they could accept, loud with clamour and guests talking over each other. I'm sorry they had to turn away the one other couple behind us, but I was scared too because I wouldn't know where else to get allergy sensitive food. The thing is though, if you do have food allergies here, everyone always tells you that you have to speak up about it every time. I guess I didn't because I always figured I'd just work around my problems. So my host/server always told me I needed to mention that to all the people coming to take my orders. I convinced my boyfriend to try some of the pate -- which came with a piece of gf bread and cucumbers, he didn't like it, but I enjoyed it. It was smooth and creamy -- but also, I felt that I needed more salt as the flavor was semi-bland too. Adding in more salt or pepper isn't really an issue with me, that's why they put those on the table. But bf got some really cheesy lasagna and I got a gluten-free pizza. The crust was thin and had the right texture of chewy-ness and flavor. It was incredibly delicious and delightful. It also took awhile longer, I'm sure the chefs have to be very careful about food contamination, which is why you have to constantly remind servers about your allergies so they can relay it to the back. Which reminds me, by the end of the night, I ordered a basic vanilla gelato. I thought this probably doesn't have any wheat in it! So I ordered it with one of the circulating servers, but our host at the front came over (I wish I remembered his name :( ) came over and took the bowl away because I forgot to tell this server I'm gluten-sensitive. So my bad! But it took so long for the gf gelato to come out. But it was one of the best vanilla gelato's I've ever had. Like nothing compared to any I've tasted in California. I'd definitely recommend this place. Staff was very attentive and food was excellent.

I've gone past this restaurant multiple times but had never tried it…read more The restaurant is now opened for indoor and outdoor dining. They were only allowing 1hr-1.5hr time slots and were very adamant about it, so if you're looking for a place to chill, this isn't the place for the moment. The inside was super cozy and welcoming. Definitely Italian vibes. The service was quick, we order right away and our food came at a very reasonable time. They were attentive and checked up on us a few times. Food received compliments from all of us, but from what I had, the bruschetta was my favorite. I'm sad they had run out of tiramisu, guess I have to return to try it. A sign that it's surely good if they ran out, right? I will definitely return and a place to must try if you're a fan of Italian.

We went there after typical lunching hours and found the place still pretty busy with folks cycling in and out. I heard that the line goes out the door at dinner, so I figured we'd try it out. The huge pane glass window allows ambient light in, then it's classically lit on the inside with yellow lighting to give that Lady and the Tramp effect. :) I ordered one of the daily specials, Risotto Italia, that had diced chicken, slices of ham, onions, mushrooms all in tomato sauce. It was fine, but a little heavy on the sauce. The sauce was good, but it buried the risotto. My dish wasn't nearly as good as Liz's Tortellini Italiana, which came in a meat sauce under baked cheese. The consistency of the crusting cheese was great, and the meat sauce was generous with the meat. We also tried the Bruschetta Tricolor which was a great balance of a caprese salad over a fresh bread and pesto... it was really good. I really enjoyed by visit to Casa Italia. It was very well priced, and I can see why its popular. You get a lot for a little... even with the picodillo (small) portions. Reservations need only be made for groups greater than 6. Give 'er a try!

The gluten free pizzas are alright, it's difficult to make it taste good, but the toppings were nice. The calzone was perhaps doughy, but the filling was a pleasantly spicy njuda, and there was an adequate amount.

Perhaps water accidentally added, perhaps a glass leftover from a previous diner, but they were quick to replace it. Overall I would not say it is worth the price, but it is perfectly fine.
