A top class night out in Christchurch. The food and wine make this place obviously and the owner’s extensive knowledge!A cold sparkling red lambrusco for the wine.Those meatballs hit different. No dry crumbling mess elsewhere.

My husband and I were on an overnight trip to Bournemouth, and on the next morning decided at the last minute to head over to Christchurch on our way home. We enjoyed the town and as usual great food always makes our trip much more memorable. Looking for food, we stumbled upon Baccello. We chose the medium sharing board and absolutely enjoyed it. The pairing with, I think, the wine from Cadia was the right choice for us. We travelled quite a bit and have to say this is the best tapas we ever had. The flavour was wonderful and most importantly the chef did not skimp on the ingredients, which to me always make a big difference in the overall taste.

How had I never heard of this place before?!? Intimate lovely atmosphere but not cramped at all. Food was sensational, feel stuffed but not in a heavy bad way. Cannot wait to visit again.

I'll go back to try his own wine soon. I could really see the passion in his eyes when he talks about wine. He also has my favourite white from Campania so this place really does it for me!

Tried here for the first time last Friday for an engagement celebration with my girl friends. We loved the food atmosphere and of course the wine. Look forward to coming back again soon!

Outstanding wines & choice of small plates in a cosy atmospheric venue. Staff are very attentive, together with being knowledgeable about the wine and food that they serve. A really special evening

Good selection of wines and interesting mini bites to compliment. Great service and a warm welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely return and thoroughly recommend.

My wife and I had lunch here today and liked the food and service - we did not catch the lady’s name but she was great. The restaurant needs a few tweaks though - the yellow table legs are not good and should be painted a dark colour. Plus the toilet needs a bit of finishing off to the decoration. Both are easy fixes that would make a huge difference to the impression the place gives.

Found this place by chance when visiting Christchurch. We liked the look of it so dropped by for dinner. The restaurant was simple yet cosy and we received a very warm welcome from the owner. We ordered a Cicchetti sharing board and a glass of the wine they produce themselves. Both were delicious. Everything tasted freshly prepared and it was clear that they use high quality ingredients. There were a few tables dining and a number of people enjoying a glass of wine at the bar and the atmosphere was very relaxed and warm. The service throughout our visit was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back!
The team at Baccello are just outstanding. The food is fresh, packed full of flavour and wholesome. Li and Lisa have created a special place that we cannot recommend more. ??????

This is by far the best Italian tapas! The food is so delicious and the wine is so tasty! It offers fantastic service and a really beautiful setting! We had the most delicious dishes the prawns have to be my favourite! The staff are super knowledgeable when it comes to what wine you should pair your food with! We can’t wait to return

Our first visit to Baccello certainly didn’t disappoint. Greeted by Amber who explained the menu to us, she was also very knowledgeable of their extensive wine menu. We chose the medium sharing board which again was recommended by the waitress., the chilli prawns and meatballs were incredible and the bruschetta options we went for were equally as good and tasted so fresh , we will definitely return again.
