The Bourbon

On the Grid : Bacaro

"A new addition to Roman Road, Bacaro brings delicious Italian inspired food and a charming atmosphere to an area that had been lacking exactly that. Bacaro is definitely looking to cement itself in the neighbourhood and they've done a good job of using local suppliers where possible particularly when it comes to the drinks menu - they serve Crate beers, East London Liquor Company spirits and cocktails (including the postcode-referencing E3 Bellini). When it comes to the food, the pasta is fresh, the cichetti and antipasti is delicious and morish and the puddings are intriguing. The prices are really reasonable too, so there's no hefty bill at the end." - Adam Johnson
