"Me and my wife arrived without reservations at 08:00pm and were told that all the outdoor tables are booked. After some nodding and hand signals we were told that we could sit outside, but had to vacate the table at 09:30. Fine with us. This...turned out to be most interesting, as no other guests showed up before 09:30pm and the whole wait staff and chefs attended to us. Service very relaxed and informal, although at times I felt they where rushing us a bit. My wine selection was not a big hit with the waiter, and he selected for me a different bottle, and discounted it down to the price of my original choice. His selection tasted better. We ordered the 2 person entrée for EUR 22. Be aware, these are 10 different courses that feed a minimum of 4 people. It was excellent, and we did our best but could not finish half of it. The wife ordered a small filet mignon and I went for the Wagyu beef. Filet looked and tasted good, but a little over cooked (we where never asked how we wanted the meat cooked , the Wagyu was excellent, but served in very thin slices. When I cook Wagyu I do it like a normal steak. Perhaps my ignorance? Meat was served on a funky wood platter with four sauces, well three sauces and Dijon Mustard. This came with a side order of two different types of potatoes. Pretty good pan fried potatoes, and crazy good deep fried potato wedges. I don 't think we even ordered them I think the staff is so proud of the food the restaurant serves, that they just serve it to their guest, without the guest asking : Of course, after the starter, we had difficulties finishing the steaks. How the Italians do it, I will never know. We finish our meal promptly at 09:30pm. Waiter brings us the bill and a complimentary and very tasty sorbet. Bill is EUR 110.00 for two people, I think that is a reasonable vacation rate, and pay the guy. When he comes back, then he gives us a bottle of red, with the name of the restaurant on it (Bacaro . Wow, thanks man. Well worth a visit."
