Venetian-style pizzeria-bar on Monkland, one of six Bacaro locations across the greater Montreal area (alongside Ville Mont-Royal, Plateau-Mont-Royal, La Prairie and Charlemagne).

Wood-oven pizza and pasta anchor the menu, with ingredients sourced from Italian importers and fresh local suppliers, according to the chain's official site.
