Bacaro42

You're walking down St Stephen Street in Stockbridge and you spot Bacaro42—a spot that takes its wine seriously without the pretension that kills half of Edinburgh's wine bars. Inside, it's intimate without feeling cramped, the kind of place where the staff genuinely know what they're pouring and why it matters. The whole operation is built around Italian wines and small plates done right: think proper cured meats, cheese that's been chosen with actual thought, and dishes that complement rather than compete with what's in your glass. It's not fancy for fancy's sake; it's just thoughtfully done.
