Bacaro

You'll find yourself squeezing past animated tables where everyone's reaching across for another forkful of something delicious. The menu bounces between Italy and Spain with the confidence of someone who actually knows both cuisines, not just the greatest hits. Order the Campari-based cocktails – they're properly made and pair brilliantly with the small plates. The portions are generous enough that you won't leave hungry, but small enough that you can justify trying half the menu. Service moves at exactly the right pace for a proper evening out, whether you're on a date or catching up with mates who talk too much.
