A Hidden Gem with Unforgettable Pizza I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and it was an experience to remember. The pizza was nothing short of amazing—perfectly crafted with fresh ingredients and a crust that was just the right balance of crisp and chew. The new menu is simply stunning, offering a variety of creative and mouthwatering options that cater to every taste. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic time. A special shoutout to Andre, the owner, whose kindness and warm hospitality truly made us feel welcome. If you're looking for a place with top-notch food and exceptional service, look no further. Highly recommended!

Meera and Celia gave me excellent service. They were friendly and efficient. Food was delicious and so were the drinks. Everything was so yummy I ordered a second Mango Speziato and Tiramisu. Definitely recommended for all ages! Last picture is of Meera making hotshots. Ask her about them, they're delicious! 🤤

Stopped in here tonight for dinner and I was left disappointed… I ordered a Caesar salad and the Linguine! It’s next to impossible to mess up a Caesar salad so that was great! However, the linguini was another story! I ordered the linguini based off the servers recommendation! The taste was great however I could not enjoy the dish as the pasta was undercooked! The waitress was understanding and offered a remake however I did not want to be that person “sending a dish back”. This place has the potential to be great the ambience is nice and there is a good variety on the menu. However, I have to agree with other reviewers; the staff is more concerned with delivery than then diners. Also for a slow evening there was limited interaction with the guests… I rated the experience a 3 over all: the ambiance is nice, my waitress was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the dish was flavourful just not edible.

Stark industrial decor. Can be very noisy with tables close together and no acoustic dampening. Food is delicious. Even the small salad serves 2 or 3 as a side. I particularly liked the arugula salad. Pizzas are excellent. Restaurant was only half full and it took 20-35 minutes for food to come out. Very good wine selection. Bathrooms downstairs well appointed and clean. I would return to try some of the other menu options.

I was there first time. The starters are magnificent. Above all, potato. I ate the macaroni with the shrimp, it was good. The service is fast, but it wasnt very busy. The cocktails are magnificent. The staff is nice. The price is around 100 dollars for both, without alcohol, without desert with tip

Awful. Will never go back. Almost empty on a Saturday afternoon. Slow service, food was tasteless. But worse than that was the bathroom situation. The men s toilet is on the main floor. The women s toilet is in the basement with two stalls. One was full of waste, the other stall had no toilet paper, and there was no running water. When I mentioned to the incredibly indifferent staff hanging around the bar that there was no toilet paper and no water to wash my hands, I was informed that in the women s toilet, there is a FOOT PUMP to get water into the sink. Are you kidding me???? Outrageous! The men s toilet, where I was allowed to use the facilities and wash my hands had running water, clean toilets and toilet paper. What century are these owners living in? Awful atmosphere, bad food, unpleasant staff.

Look a bit rundown compared to near by pizza parlours opened about the same time (Pizza Melrose). Pizza are okay: Bomba is tasty but minimal garnish without been a «bomba». Quebecois is sort of all dress with fatty bacon. Cesar salad lack of everything to deserve the name «Cesar». Foods quality have gone down since our first. Wouldn t go back.

Rapidly becoming my go-to for pizza on Friday night I asked for a half and half fungi and pesto pizza tonight and it was great! Nicely done, a little earthy and the thin crust is delicious. Service is friendly and always timely. The atmosphere is a little noisy for an old guy like me, but looks like fun for groups.

While I appreciate authentic Italian cuisine, my recent experience at Baccaro left much to be desired. The pasta was overcooked and lacked flavor, the service was slow and inattentive, and the atmosphere felt more like a cafeteria than a cozy trattoria. Overall, a disappointing dining experience that I wouldnt recommend to fellow food enthusiasts.

We have been living in Monkland but have always eaten at Pizza 900. Tonight is the first time we ordered from Bacaro . I hesitated to call for take out with the anticipation of late and cold delivery but Voila! Placed the order at 18:40 and was delivered in 25 min ( ok we live in the vicinity but still the order was a combination of pizza, pasta and nutella pizza ; all came warm and soooo fast. The style of the pizza highly serves our taste as the dough was soft and not thick. The pasta papardella ragu , orechiette with cheese and pizza quatro formaggi all tasted delicious. The speed of service has been such a big game changer ! It has been such a rewarding treat for our Sunday evening . They have also put little hearts on our boxes. We thank to the whole team in the resto and for sure they won us as regular clients. Thank you Everyone!

The service was very good - friendly and efficient waitresses. The food is good. The fries (in truffle oil) were crispy, crunchy...they never went mushy. My son ordered a pizza and told me he liked it. I ordered gnoccis with gorgonzola...didnt eat much - I wasnt really hungry after the fries. One thing: WAY TOO MUCH ICE IN THE DRINKS. What happened here?

Good service, but not good food. I got spaghetti and it did not taste like it was fresh and I also got gnocchi which was over cooked and soggy. They also give very small portions for the price that you pay. So like I said, if youre looking for good service, go here, but not if you are looking to have a delicious meal.

A reservation had been made several days ahead of time. I had even put it in writing that we were going there for my daughter s 18th birthday. We arrived on the Tuesday night that we had reserved and there was a loud and boisterous childrens party taking place. We asked why they hadnt told us that a childrens party was taking place at the time we had made a reservation. The service was incredibly slow and the wait staff were unbelievably forgetful. The wait staff did nothing for my daughter s 18th birthday yet they did everything for the childrens birthday party even as the kids were running wild around the restaurant. When we asked the wait staff if they could do something for our daughter s birthday they emphatically said no. The food was mediocre and not worth the price. The location is convenient however the service was so bad and the food was so non descript that we wont be going back.

Very underseasoned generic food. For example, $20 for lasagna consisting of a stack of al dente noodles, bland tomato sauce with a bit of melted cheese on the top of it, no protein, no veg, no ricotta or béchamel. Go to Trattoria Mario on Upper Lachine or B&M on Somerled for more satisfying versions of this type of cuisine.

December 22, 2023

Waited 1 and a half hours for food. No one else in place except me and my friend. The cook and waitress were too interested in filling deliveries. Waitress had absolutely no interest that we were waiting so long. We will never go or recommend Bacaro to anyone.

We must of come on a awful night. There was a kids party in the place and the waitress kept mixing my sons orders with theres. My food came so fast and it was another 20 minutes for my sons order. I had to remind the waitress twice about our drinks. Not a good experience.

Good morning We were very very disappointed to no longer see the childrens menu. We were 2 families with children. A big disappointment. On Monkland Street, I did my research. There are 2 restaurants with childrens menu. I dont know if I will go back there with my family. I would like to know the reason for removing the childrens menu. Please dont put your decision on covid. THANKS DianeT

Not sure what happened to the food! But it is not what I am used to from Bacaro. Ordered a Zaza pizza, the pizza was soggy! The tomato sauce was bland tasting and the italian sausage was more like a generic grocery sausage. Then ordered the beignet with nutella and that too was not the same. Instead of getting 6 fluffy beignets we got 8 small what seemed to be donut holes. Very hard and dense. At least the 1664 blanche beer and whisky sour were good :)

December 22, 2023

Completely disappointing. The dishes were cold, there were three of us and no one finished their dish. the amateurism of the boss on site didnt even bother to ask what was wrong, why no one finished their dish. STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED, no taste!!!!!

Everything was DRENCHED IN OIL..... We ordered pizza (had almost zero cheeze, felt like tomato tasting wet bread and only 4 pieces of meat) and a sandwich (bread half burnt, leaking oil from everywhere and it had raw/cold diced carrots/celeri in a warm sandwich). Service was horrible and the place was sooo loud (not even full) on a Tuesday night. We thought we were treating ourselves by going there because we love the Bacaro in TMR, but ONLY REGRETS! Vegetarian options: VERY FEW vegetarian options (considering ricotta and parmesan are not vegetarian) Wheelchair accessibility: Tables way too close together to roam in the restaurant. At least the bathroom is roomy

December 22, 2022

Ordered not 1 but SIX pizzas last night. They all came cold, soggy and 2 of them were over cooked. I nicely also asked for relish and spicy oil for my guests and specified 6 of them. Well guess what: got 1 relish and that s all. Called the store, of course I was out on hold for 10 minutes. No jokes, at this point, it was my third and final attempt at dealing with them. Will never spend another dollar there. Horrible horrible service and food quality.

Plus: kids and wife like the food and it s 200m from the house. So it s not all bad. Minus: I get dragged there once a year for the terrace to get reminded of the food and horrendous service before vetoing the place for the rest of the year. There is just no system for the service. 4 servers, a Barmaid and a busboy can t keep up with 6 tables on the terrasse and 2 guys at the bar. It was always this way even pre pandemic staff shortage. Took a half hour to get any attention, water, order drinks. We had to remind the server about stuff we were missing. Food is below average. Stay away from the subs and calamari. Pizza is ok, but not at the level of 900 or pizzedelic on Monkland or Melrose on Sherbrooke. For good Italian, Casareccia or Amerigo. Check these places out instead. Vetoed again until forced to go there by some bad luck or family pressure.

Waiting service was bad, only one person taking care of all the tables and bar. Ordered a salad to start and got just the stem part of the lettuce and not all the ingredients listed on the menu. Ordered a sangria the strawberry that was in my glass was dirty you could tell it hadn t even been attempted to be rinsed off! The pasta ordered was the Rigatoni Chicken Carbonara, it had only the pasta the bacon and a few chopped pieces of chicken, missing more ingredients per the menu. Overall, bad service from the server, if it s Friday and you only have ONE person waiting all the tables making drinks and doing all that, it s why the service was bad! Food wasn t as great as expected! Place was dirty needing more attention! And don t dare to ask for the Wi-Fi password because you won t get it! Period!!!

Nice decor, but service insistently only in English, no matter what language you use. And the pizza will remind you more of a cardboard box than the high-end pizza the prices suggest. To think that, not so long ago, this place was a place of choice for good Friday night pizza... How times change!

We were in the Monkland Village and decided to grab a bite to eat. After going up and down Monkland Avenue, we settled for Bacaro Pizzeria. We ordered some drinks to start. I ordered a red sangria and my other half got the blue sangria. Since were we sitting on the terrace, we had the perfect view of the bartender preparing our drinks. She filled both wine glasses with ice to the top of the rim which significantly diluted the drinks. As for the pizza, we ordered the Québecoise which consisted of in-house San Marzano sauce, mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, pepperoni, green peppers, onions, and bacon. The crust was super thin and the toppings were generous. We also tried the Porchetta panuozzo which consisted of porchetta, rapini, provolone cheese, roasted red peppers, giardiniera, and kalamata olives. I believe the submarine would have tasted better if the bread was toasted and the cheese was melted.

We had been a few years ago and rather enjoyed the dishes and experience. Things must have really gone south during the pandemic, because we had one of the most disappointing dining experiences we ve had in a while. From the beginning to the end, service was mediocre. Our waitress came off inexperienced but more importantly, indifferent. The restaurant was far too slow to merit such inattentive service. Dishes came out one at a time, as opposed to in sync, which is odd, when the place is so slow. No quality checks, no water refills, barely any clearing of dirty tables around. I ll give them massive props for a great gluten free pizza dough, which was oddly considered better than the real thing. Unfortunately we will not be returning.

December 22, 2022

The service is very bad. We were a group of 16 and we had made a reservation a week in advance. The restaurant was therefore aware that we were coming. We waited 30 minutes before getting the first glass of water and before the waitress came to take our order. This was only the beginning of our misfortune. As a result, the food took more than 1h30 to arrive. When she finally arrived, several people did not have their plates. As a result, we were not able to eat at the same time. There was even one person in the group who received his starter after the main course. When we asked for the invoices to leave, it took at least 45 minutes before we got them. Additionally, the waitress made mistakes in at least half of our bills. We ended up waiting over an hour before getting our bills. In total, we stayed in this restaurant for 4 hours, of which 3 were the minimum wait. I do not recommend this restaurant. The service is very bad.

December 22, 2022

This is the first review I have ever made on Google. I ordered from UberEats and requested pasta, and this is the worst food Ive ever had on this app.. Avoid Sunday nights I guess? No taste, its expensive, and it took an hour to get the food delivered. Pizza would probably be a better choice.

Back at Bacaro after well over a year with covid which WAS a very decent neighborhood fare . Sadly no more , service was prompt and friendly but food was third rate. Fried calamari rubbery with coating all falling off it at the slightest touch. Clearly cheap commercial frozen. Lasagna faired no better , low end frozen lasagna judging by the very dark tomato sauce and slimy sheets of pasta all served drowning in plain tomato sauce. The caprese another sad sight hard as a rock unripe tomatoes on top of flat bread with 1 thin slice of fresh mozzarella.

Service is terrible, we didnt have a reservation, although there were several tables unoccupied on the terrasse (they were supposedly reserved) so we sat inside. Next minute a lady without a reservation arrives and asks for two tables and the hostess gives her the same tables that were reserved .Discussing and unprofessional . I only went there since i live in the neighborhood, but never again.

Very good pizza and entrees but the Philly Cheese steak sandwich was brutal. Seems like they cooked the steak in some kind of sauce or it was sauteed in mayonnaise but really nothing like a traditional Philly Cheese steak hoggie. Perhaps this was the Quebec version

Awful service and average pizza. Special shoutout to the owner who was having shots with the table behind us as I expressed my disappointment about waiting 50 mins for pizza, who then proceeded to respond with this is my first break in 6 hours no apology at all. It is not my fault you have poor time management and don t know how to manage your staff or restaurant. Shocking

Literally ordered from this place just tonight and the food was trash!! The pasta was cold, the ravioli tasted like it came from a can and sadly the calamari was soggy and cold; no seasoning at all. Do not recommend this to anyone especially who come down to visit Montreal. A waste of money trust & believe that

ordered a lasagna and a spaghetti last night, most bland sauce i have ever tasted, literally tasted like a can of tomato sauce they sell at the grocery store for 0.99$, no seasoning what so ever, you guys can do alot better, bill was almost $55 delivered, insane price for garbage food, put a little more passion in what you are making, it doesnt cost much to add a little seasoning and it will pay dividends

I have never received such poor service in my life. I ordered the caprese salad and it was advertised as having olive oil and balsamic on it, which is normal. It was brought out with literal salad dressing on it. I sent it back, the server seemed extremely annoyed. I waited almost 20 minutes for the replacement. After about 15 minutes I said look just refund me, I don t have enough time. She then told me she could not refund me. WHAT??!!! never heard of this. Never experienced such terrible customer service in my life. The server also just seemed super miserable and I paid prior to receiving the food because I was in a rush. Lesson learned. I ll never be coming back here. Worst service ever! No manager working. What is happening with this place? Beware.

*Our server was very nice, sweet and apologetic so this is why Im leaving 3 stars and not 1. **Pizza came with an ingredient that we asked not to be on it. Server was sweet about it and we told her to forget about it, then the owner comes and tried to tell my wife that the eggplant she asked not be there was mushroom PLUS barely apologized. ***My 3 year old son was served juice in a glass that was cracked. I know these things can happen, but this was definitely not dealt with accordingly. Again, the server was nice and changed it immediately, but if I was the owner in this situation I would have run to the table immediately to make sure everything is fine and offer something on the house if not the whole bill. The food is decent (nothing special) but the main thing that needs improvement here is management.

I visited this restaurant twice in one week, both with very different experiences, which I would like to elaborate in order for the situation not to happen to others. On Tuesday, I went before the hockey game with a friend, and was nicely served by Erin, who informed us of all promotions ($10 pizzas as well as the drink menu). Walked out of there very pleased. Yesterday, however, was a different story. We were served by Leanne. Dinning was fine. When it came to paying the tab, I noticed that my pizza was not $10. I asked why, and was shocked with the answer. I had to let her know in advance, because the pizzas they make for the discount are not the same as if you were to pay full price. I told her about being there on Tuesday, and how I really enjoyed my pizza, didnt notice anything different in comparison to the one I had just finished, and would like the discount. She said she couldnt reprocess my bill and that I would have to wait 40 minutes for a manager, as there was none on duty at that moment. No manager on a Saturday night? That doesnt seem right... Also, she mentioned that the promotion doesnt run on Saturdays, yet the sign was right outside, with no fine print as to when it runs specifically. All to say, I paid my tab and left. Unhappy with the experience unfortunately this time around, and dont think Ill be going back anytime soon. This was poor customer service at its finest. If I could get back the $8 + tax that was spent uselessly, I would. But I dont think thatll be possible... Therefore, warning to all you students who head there, dont always believe what you see as promos!

Note this rateing is for the Monkland location only. Overall food was good, pizza and starters were as they always were, shows formulas for food prep work. Salad was overdressed was the only issue with food. Main issue was the lack of service and compliance to covid rules for at the restaurant . Definitely needs more staff, waited 15 min before we asked the manager to get us menus, only to be told to use our phones, as well the manager was not wearing a mask but interacts with customers, tables were not spaced 6 feet apart and all seemed opened. The outdoor dining space as well the tables were not spaced out. The wait staff at the bar as well masks down when interacting with clients. Not impressed overall.

Really great service and menu, one of the things that I enjoy from Bacaro is that they dont have a crazy heavy menu with a gazillion of items, which ensures that the food that they prepare is not only fresh but well made. Salads are crispy and fresh and the pizzas and paninis are truly delicious with everything made in-house. Currently they can accommodate people to dine inside and outside observing every rule to keep you safe, also be noted, if you dont wear a mask youll not be allowed inside, if you have to go use their services note that youll be required to use your mask too! Did I mention that they have great and efficient service? Yeah, that much needed smile and genuine wish to serve and accommodate you on this very challenging times. Thanks guys greatly enjoyed it.
