Bacaro Weymouth

You're walking along the Esplanade on a decent evening, and Bacaro catches your eye—proper Italian food without the pretence. It's the kind of place where locals actually eat, not just tourists after a quick bite. The menu leans into what works: fresh pasta made with care, creamy risottos that taste like someone knows what they're doing, and seafood that benefits from being metres from where it was pulled from the water. The room feels warm without being stuffy, and there's real attention paid to what's on your plate. Nothing revolutionary, but that's the point.
