京王フレンテ新宿三丁目の地下にあるヴェネツィア風イタリアンバー&レストラン。チケッティと本格的な雰囲気が人気。
Il Bacaro is an authentic Italian bar and restaurant located on the B2F of the Keio Frente Shinjuku-sanchome building, just one minute from Shinjuku-sanchome Station's C2 exit. Named after the traditional Venetian wine bars, Il Bacaro faithfully recreates the atmosphere and cuisine of Venice, earning praise even from Italian visitors for its genuine spirit. The restaurant features both a standing bar section, where cicchetti (Venetian tapas) are displayed in a glass case, and a seated dining area further inside, offering two distinct experiences within one venue. The food menu showcases Venetian specialities alongside broader Italian classics. Cicchetti at the standing bar include grilled vegetables, marinated seafood, and crostini, typically priced around 100 yen each, making it easy to sample widely. In the seated section, the spaghetti marinara is a highly recommended dish, and other pasta and meat courses are prepared with care. The wine list focuses on Italian bottles at reasonable prices, and the convivial standing bar culture encourages a social, relaxed dining pace that feels truly Venetian. The lunch menu is also well regarded, offering excellent value set courses. The location is extremely convenient, just one minute from Shinjuku-sanchome Station and four minutes from JR Shinjuku Station's east exit. The standing bar is perfect for a quick drink and bite after work, whilst the seated section accommodates longer, more leisurely meals. The combination of authenticity, reasonable prices, and central Shinjuku positioning has made Il Bacaro a long-standing favourite in the area.
