About BACARI

Tucked just off the Sydney Harbour Bridge, this Kirribilli corner spot pairs handmade pasta with neighbourhood Italian hospitality. The kitchen turns out plump oysters, crisp arancini, and prawn linguini with sauce built for sopping up with crusty focaccia. No QR codes clutter the tables here—service is old-school and attentive, with staff taking orders from memory. Guests linger under the laneway heaters over a glass from the curated wine list, or end on a quiet high note with a slab of vermouth-infused tiramisu.

  • Heated Outdoor Seating: Warm outdoor dining in any season with heated laneway seating.
  • Weekday BYO Option: Bring a favourite bottle on weekdays alongside the venue's curated wine program.
  • Attentive Waiter Service: Floor staff take orders from memory without digital QR code apps.
  • A La Carte Bottomless Lunch: Choose courses directly from the full à la carte menu rather than a fixed banquet.

Why Diners Choose BACARI

Authentic Italian dining, personal hosting, and laneway comfort in Kirribilli.

  • À la Carte Choice on Bottomless Lunch

    Diners can order dishes directly from the à la carte menu rather than a rigid banquet during bottomless lunch, paired with prompt drink refills.

    we were pleasantly surprised to find that we could choose our entrées, mains (pasta), and desserts from their à la carte menu. The free-flowing drinks were promptly refilled

  • Authentic Handcrafted Italian Specialties

    The kitchen crafts fresh handmade pastas, perfectly cooked seafood, and house desserts like vermouth-infused tiramisu.

    The oysters were so plump and creamy, and the pasta was amazing - loved the texture, and it was perfectly cooked. The tiramisu was delicious too!

  • Attentive, Memory-Driven Personal Hosting

    Front-of-house staff take orders from memory without impersonal digital QR codes, delivering attentive and genuine table service.

    no qr code rubbish the waiter can remember up to 13 orders without notes. Sat outside and soaked in to the good food and wine. Not pretentious and good value.

  • Personal Hospitality and Dietary Flexibility

    Even during peak holiday events and large gatherings, staff make time to personally connect with diners and adapt menus for dietary needs.

    staff were amazing and took a few moments to speak with us making the experience feel very personal. The food was excellent and we so appreciated that at the last moment they adjusted the menu to cater for a gluten intolerance.

  • Weekday BYO Alongside Curated Wine Options

    Diners enjoy an extensive in-house wine list alongside a weekday BYO wine option to pair with classic lasagne and regional Italian dishes.

    The wine list is very good and priced OK, but you can BYO during the week as well.

  • Heated Outdoor Seating Year-Round

    Overhead laneway heaters ensure the outdoor seating remains warm and comfortable across colder months.

    They even have heaters above the outdoor seating so its the perfect temperature even in winter!
