If you have a passion for wine bars but don’t feel like making a long drive to get to one, you’ll be happy to know that a short commute over to North Park will be an option later in February.
The Los Angeles-born, family-owned Mediterranean wine bar Bacari is making its San Diego debut in February, opening in one of North Park’s two-story buildings known for its New Orleans–style architecture at 3823 30th Street, formerly Urban Solace.
Founded in 2008 by brothers Robert and Danny Kronfli and modeled after traditional Venetian wine bars, known as bacari in Italian, Bacari is known for seasonally rotating, shareable Mediterranean-inspired plates, wood-fired pizzas, handmade pastas, and a rotating wine list.
Led by executive chef and co-owner Lior Hillel, the North Park location will span the space’s two floors, plus an outdoor patio.
Downtown//Uptown News caught up recently with Bacari co-founder Robert Kronfli to discuss the new North Park wine bar.
DTN//UTN:Talk a little bit about how Bacari came about in North Park and the excitement behind the February opening.
Kronfli: Our team had been scouting potential locations across San Diego County and immediately gravitated towards the energy and community feel of North Park — it’s inspiring. We noticed the building right away – with its unique architecture and great location — but it wasn’t for lease. And when it did eventually become available, we knew it would be the perfect place for Bacari.
We think of our brand as warm, approachable, and inviting —and this space really personifies that. We can’t wait to be a part of this community and hopefully become a go-to destination for social gatherings, first dates, and celebrations.
DTN//UTN: What can San Diegans and out of town visitors to Bacari expect when they come to eat there?
Kronfli: At Bacari, it’s all about the guest. Our number one priority is to make our guests feel welcomed and happy – so they can expect a really great experience. Of course, we have fantastic food, drinks, and service. But we just want our guests to let loose and have a fun time. We don’t take ourselves too seriously.
DTN//UTN: About how many staff will be employed?
Kronfli: 40-50 staff.
DTN//UTN: What else would you want locals and visitors to the restaurant to know about the new North Park locale?
Kronfli: We’ve heard so many amazing stories about people’s connection to this space and the previous restaurant tenant (Urban Solace). We’re honored to take over a space that the North Park community has such an affinity for, and we don’t take it lightly. We’re excited to activate the second level, which is something new.
We’ll be opening for weekend brunch and dinner — and then we’ll let the neighborhood inspire us from there.
