Bacco QVB now open!
With only it's second day of opening Bacco's new QVB location is already doing a steady trade of business. Apparently there's still plans for a large communal table, some finishing decor touches and a decent sized macaron shop opposite that will sell about 30 different flavours — Adriano Zumbo watch out. The ambience is noticeably more quiet than it's Chifley Plaza location which is a huge plus when trying to have a conversation. The range of beautifully designed cakes and fresh pastries seems just as extensive and the service is friendly although still be finding their feet in these early days. Today's lunch purchase of Toasted foccacia with prosciutto, bocconcini, rocket and tomato ($9.90 takeaway) was decently sized and the ingredients fresh tasting. The salted foccacia added a lovely savoury taste. I think the addition of some chive mayonnaise, aoili or avocado would have been nice to add a bit more moisture to the sandwich for my liking.
