A vibrant new neighborhood favorite has officially arrived in South West London, bringing a taste of Italian aperitivo culture directly to Teddington High Street. BACCARO Cocktails & Cicchetti, pronounced "BAH-kah-roh," is designed to foster spontaneous meet-ups and shared dining experiences, blending warm Italian hospitality with the relaxed rhythm of local life.
Mediterranean Flavors Meet British Edge
The restaurant offers a lively, drinks-led atmosphere paired with a menu of Mediterranean specialties. From homemade pasta and pizza to carefully curated wines and inventive cocktails, BACCARO emphasizes a sociable, informal style of dining. The menu balances modern Italian influences with a local spirit, focusing on relaxed enjoyment and dishes meant for passing around the table.
Signature Cicchetti and Creative Cocktails
Cicchetti, pronounced "chi-KET-tee," are small, shareable dishes traditionally enjoyed alongside wine and cocktails. At BACCARO, these are reimagined with a contemporary British edge, featuring items like seafood carpaccios, homemade pasta, and the signature OctopusDog. The bar, staffed by award-winning mixologists, presents a cocktail menu tailored for after-work drinks or longer evenings with friends.
Highlights include the Matcha Piña Colada, made with light white rum, pineapple, coconut, lime, and matcha syrup; the Negroni Flight offering Classic, White, and seasonal variations; and the Spicy Margarita infused with Calabrian chilli, tequila, lime, and agave.
A Community-Focused Vision
Redin Dokaj, General Manager and co-founder, expressed the goal for BACCARO to become an instantly familiar neighborhood spot. "We want BACCARO to feel like the kind of place the local community returns to week after week, whether for a quick drink, a casual dinner, or a full evening with friends," he said. Designed to integrate seamlessly into local routines, the venue aims to be the go-to day-to-night destination at the heart of Teddington.
