Bacari GDL: Bacari, Italian for a Venetian tavern offering a wide selection of libations and cicchetti (small snacks or side dishes), provides namesake to Bacari GDL, a wine and craft cocktail bar and eatery that captures the casual sophistication of its Glendale, CA location, in The Americana at Brand lifestyle center. The third bacari iteration from Owners Robert and Daniel Kronfli, and Executive Chef/Owner Lior Hillel—each similar in format but distinct in execution—Bacari GDL serves exceptional international wines alongside fresh and flavorful Italian tapas, including housemade wood-fired pizzas and authentic pastas. Among an upscale, yet cozy, environment complementary of its locale, guests enjoy an indoor/outdoor experience thanks to the garage door façade, which sheds sunshine and breezes throughout a sultry space adorned with chalkboard menu walls, wine bottle and barrel decor, and polished concrete floors embodying a refined, yet laid-back atmosphere. Saturday and Sunday brunch is available weekly from 10:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. Reservations are available through the restaurant’s website or by calling the restaurant directly at 818.696.1460.
