Antonio's Bacaro 5 Fairmount Avenue, Boston, MA 02136

"This gem is literally up the street from me and I couldn't be happier. We drop in all the time and never get tired. The food and drinks are fantastic (love the Ragu) and they always great us with a warm smile and great conversation. I feel like I'm walking into a friend's spot to say hello. Highly recommend this place."

"Pleasant atmosphere and very kind and attentive staff. To start I ordered the arancini, which unfortunately didn't have any seasoning and the oil flavor was strong. The Burrata bruschetta was delicious, the best I've ever eaten. My main order was a Lonster Risotto, which unfortunately was also lacking in flavor and seasoning. I would go back again to try other dishes."

"4.5 stars, would go again. Came for dinner for Dine Out Boston. Not too loud which I liked, but it was an early dinner. Food came quick and employees were pleasant. Parking is available in a lot right next to the restaurant. Street parking also available, but seems kind of stressful finding a spot in a busy neighborhood. The bread and oil/vinaigrette are good, as others have mentioned. I had the carbonara which was good, and was too full to eat more than a bite of the second course until work. Excuse the poor photo, it’s a much more filling portion than it appears. Eating microwaved filet mignon at work is kind of sad, so not sure if that’s part of it, but even when I tried it when it was still the day of, I’ve had better steak. Wasn’t wowed by it, but the polenta was surprisingly good. Slightly cheesy, very solid. The tiramisu was fine but not memorable? And yet I’ve never met a tiramisu I didn’t like."

"This place was great, the staff was super friendly, and they accommodated our big group on marathon weekend, which was awesome! Their food was delicious. I had the arincini to start. I wish it had more sauce with it or some sauce to dip it in. For my main meal, I had the genevese, which was a pesto pasta, and it was good. Worth stopping in!"

"Dine here on 3/25/23 as part of dine out Boston,this was my second time eating here and the food was just as good as it was the first time. The staff is lovely and attentive, gives off a real family vibe. We will definitely be dining here again"
