Bacco Restaurant and Wine Bar

Went here with some friends last night, booking through London Eating to get the 50% discount. The place was quite busy, well decorated, had a very nice atmosphere and was professionally operated, also most of the staff were Italian which is a good sign.

We were a little surprised when the starters arrived as they were quite small but actually they were really good and tactfully portioned. The smoked chicken salad was delicious.

We all had pasta mains which were in fact quite generous portions. All dishes went down well, although sauces might be rather rich for some tastes (particularly gnocchi with pesto). Pappardelle with hare ragu was very tasty, but the pasta was a little overcooked and stuck together. Veal meatballs were also praised.

While it was a great evening, I would recommend taking advantage of the 50% discount. The full prices displayed were a little steep, but with the offer it was good value and a nice evening.
