Venetian cicchetti and wine on Castle Street
Bacaro brings a slice of Venice to Castle Street in central Liverpool. A bacaro is a traditional Venetian wine bar serving small snacks called cicchetti, and this spot — from the Salt House group — captures that spirit with lamp lighting, leather banquettes and a Campari bar that feel stylish yet relaxed.
What to order
The menu is built around cicchetti — small sharing plates. Try pancetta croquettes, arancini, burrata mozzarella, dressed crab crostini and octopus, ideally with a glass of Italian wine.
Who it’s for
A great choice for a relaxed date, drinks and small plates with friends or a leisurely graze — mid-priced but top for atmosphere.
Atmosphere
A true bacaro is a place to stand, sip and graze, and this one keeps that convivial buzz — a low hum of chatter, clinking glasses and small plates passing across the counter. The lighting stays low and golden, and the mood tips easily from an after-work aperitivo into a long, unhurried evening.
It’s intimate and a little bohemian, the kind of room where an hour slips by before you’ve noticed.

If it's good enough for Robertson and Salah, then it's good enough for us! Wonderful atmosphere and food. We were late due to the match-day crowds, but the manager held a table back, and the couple ahead of us were sent…

I just love this place! Nowadays most eateries are expensive, but the food is mediocre. Here it's different, here it's plentiful and luxurious, and really good value for money. It has wonderful character, a wonderful atm…
Has always been one of my favourites, and not without reason. First-class staff. Consistently tasty small plates! Looks good. Tastes good. Moderate prices! Variety. Something for everyone! Highly recommend!
I really like it here. I like the tapas concept, and even better, making them Italian. In the photos there are fries, nduja pizzetta, chicken Milanese, lasagne and sausage pasta. No complaints about any of it. All the fo…
