History
BACCARO is a Cocktails & Cicchetti restaurant and bar on Teddington High Street, created to bring the informal, social spirit of bacari to South West London — with a focus on sharing plates, standout drinks, and a relaxed day-to-night atmosphere.
BACCARO is co-founded by Redin Dokaj, who, after experiences with managing venues such as the Montgomery Place Bar, has run The Foresters Arms in Hampton Wick since 2019. He brings deep local knowledge and hands-on hospitality experience, ensuring BACCARO delivers not only on food and drinks, but on the kind of warm, consistent service that turns first-time guests into regulars.
The venture is also co-founded by Giuseppe Gallo, founder of award-winning Italian aperitivo brands ITALICUS Rosolio di Bergamotto and Savoia Vino Aperitivo. Renowned for championing Italian drinking culture globally, Gallo’s expertise lies in creating authentic, premium Italian experiences rooted in quality, craft and modern aperitivo rituals. Designed to fit naturally into local community routines, BACCARO aims to become the go-to neighbourhood food place for Teddington’s community.
