Bacco, restaurant review: 'Why would you dip battered rabbit in cheese
food value staff ambience drinks
Holborn is not an especially lovely district of London.
You can understand how Holborn used to be from a letter that Thomas Carlyle sent to his brother, complaining about "the black vapour brooding over [Holborn] ... coaches and wains and sheep oxen and wild people rushing on with bellowings and shrieks and thundering din".
The first dishes announce a major theme of Bacco – too much cheese.
Instead of the usual slab of brittle crackling, a layer of fat and slithery pork beneath, these were sliced roundels, marinated in wine and spices, cooked for six hours and finished with grain mustard and orange sauce – very delicious, accompanied by slightly over-salty zucchini fritti.
Pan-fried wild sea bass with broad bean purée was delicious, but its attendant lords – twirls of crispy bacon, a black efflorescence of balsamic-glazed onion – seemed irrelevant.
