Lovely place in Chelsea Clean and great decor Chic and chill Came in for the daily lunch special and loved it for a solo lunch or a day date. The service was friendly and welcoming Prices are awesome especially for now and it was worth it. The food is well presented and tasty just needs a little more seasoning my favorite was the chicken parm and the tiramisu. The Aperol was perfect! I will definitely come back to try more. read more

Absolutely incredible! Great ambiance, caring staff, delicious food, ample seating--perfect for groups, business meals, and a date night. My friend and I dined here for late lunch/early dinner today and had a grand ol time! The 3pm time frame had no customers besides us so it felt very intimate and private dining-like. Earn points via OpenTable reservation and pay with InKind! The host was so friendly and personable. The bartender was engaging and exhibited behaviors showing he enjoyed his job. The manager was greeting guests as more started rolling in and organizing tables, making everyone feel welcome, appreciated, and acknowledged. The server/table service was excellent---consistent, prompt, recurrent but uninvasive, and genuine. Water glasses were routinely filled. Our table was clear of dirty dishes promptly. Meal courses were timed well and paced appropriately. My glass of rose wine for $8 was superb! The caprese appetizer was packed with fresh flavors and aromas and exceeded my expectations. The chicken piccata was well balanced with a good amount of sauce and capers. The tiramisu was a deconstructed dessert that was heavenly and garnished with fruit, flair, and passion. Their lunch deal is $25 and included the app, entree, and dessert. What a steal! I would recommend and return! Honestly get yourself over to this spot sooner than later. read more

Came for a work lunch. Seating for a group of 20 (in an empty restaurant) was uncomfortable. No one really had any room. Four of us had to share a table meant for two. They really could have given us 1 more table. Had the prefix menu. Crab cake was very small but super flavorful. Burger was burnt so i didnt eat it. Small amount of fries were awesome. Not a horrible place but I don't plan on revisiting. read more

For a Large Group of 12, we were able to get a reservation last minute and were seated promptly. Food was overall average, service was fairly decent. Overall experience was positive but not wow. If you are looking for a spot for a large group but not want to be rushed this could be your spot! read more

Very average experience here that felt spot on chain-restaurant like. Service was timely and friendly. Atmosphere is nice and intimate. They can accommodate different party sizes. The food did come out very quickly which likely were premade in advance but pasta was al denté still. 1. Zucchini fritter - came as "fries", soggy and oily. I'd skip this next time 2. Carbonara - good, creamy, very good 3. Lava cake - too sweet as more sugar was added and the crumble was sweet too. It was very creamy inside. Overall a good dinner but was not above average compared to other Italian restaurants. Solid to try once if craving Italian food. read more

Great stop for a quick app and happy hour drinks! We swung in here last week on a walk through the city, and had a very enjoyable time. We got a couple happy hour drinks and apps, and the bread that was given for free was truly To Die For. This is somewhere you come for the vibe, the class, and friendly staff, and the phenomenal food! Great experience overall. read more

I came here for a work dinner and had some apps to share (not pictured) such as tuna tartare, meatball, and some potato squares. The tuna tartare was the best thing I had all night. It was fresh and tasted exactly how I expected it to. The meatball was standard and the potatoes were a bit stale. For my entree I got the NY strip cooked medium, but it ended up being well done. I felt like I've cooked better steaks since this one didn't have any char or seasoning on it. The mashed potatoes had a parmesan crust at the top, which was nice. Aside from that, it reminded me of instant mashed potatoes, but somehow not as good. The spinach was standard and nothing to stand out on. read more

One of my NYC go-to's. Consistently good food & drinks with exceptional service. The gnocchi melts in your mouth!

They have brunch! And room for a Sunday walk-in in a neighborhood where most places were closed or crowded. My dessert and coffee were good, but prices are a little expensive. On the plus side, we weren't rushed. Service was fine, but either one person was new and was being trained, or ... Not sure if I would return, but if I was looking for a place to go to, and this was my only choice, I wouldn't be disappointed. read more

Saturday dinner here after going to an exhibit at the Botanical Garden. Low lights, open windows and a front deck- large parties and plenty of staff running around. Made reservations at 9:30pm - and we were able to get there early at 9:15. We were sat immediately as things were starting to wind down for the night. We started with the caprese salad which was good - the mozzarella ball was full of stracatella and tasted fresh. Tomatoes were very good - but little to zero basil-- which is a KEY INGREDIENT TO CAPRESE! No balsamic either. Meh. They had the immortal trio of my Italian dishes: parm, carbonara, and cacio e pepe. I went with carbonara which was good - but they had run out of bread for the table. It's an Italian place!?? Dessert I went with the cheesecake - which may have been the most sad cheesecake I've had in awhile. Oh they were out of tiramisu and the main chocolate torte. Meh - would suggest elsewhere. read more

Went here for a brunch event, and I can't say I was impressed, unfortunately. The staff was a bit all over the place, they got our order wrong, and the bottles of water they brought around to use had mildew on the lids (on multiple bottles, not just one). The food was alright, but not something I was terribly impressed by. read more

We came in for dinner on a Friday night with no reservations and were able to be seated right away- sadly it seemed the restaurant was not busy at all, there were only a couple of other tables taken. We shared a few pastas and I had the mists salad with grilled shrimp. The lasagna looked absolutely decadent (so smothered in cheese) - a little too cheesy for me but the mists pasta was so refreshing, light and perfectly dressed with crunchy veggies, the addition of the shrimp made it perfect as the shrimp were perfectly cooked and quite large in size! We ended w the Choco cake and affogato - the cake was as you would expect from a Choco lava cake! Not sure why it was so quite on a Friday night but it was nice to have a no fuss meal. read more

Not a huge fan of the food here. I got the carbonara and it was okay. I think the flavor profile just didn't align with my tastes. My friend got a red sauce pasta which I thought tasted better. The service is good and the interior of the restaurant was cute. read more

We LOVED this place! We had some really expensive Italian food while we were in town and this was better! I made a reservation here about an hour before and we had no wait when we arrived. It was pretty busy but the server was very attentive. The restaurant is pretty dark inside, it has good date vibes. Get the sparkling water, it is the best sparkling water I have ever had! I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka and it was delicious, the sauce is amazing! Definitely would return next time we are in town! read more

This is the worst Italian restaurant I've been to in manhattan. Our table ordered their best selling lasagna, squid ink pasta, pesto, and vongole pasta for main. Every single dish was a miss. The portion was large but the food itself tasted poorly - Lasagna was the most disappointing as it tasted like microwave food. The worst item on the menu was definitely the tiramisu which might have been expired since the lady finger was unbelievably dry. The service was actually really good but the food was absolutely terrible. I've never been to a restaurant where I hated every dish I ordered. read more

This is a great place to dine before or after a show near the theater district ( that's one of three ?) I am in for the theater a lot and never been here.

Came here for an early dinner with a guest from Japan. Almost had the place to ourselves. Naphtali the manager, and his staff were professional and friendly. The ambiance and service all good. The pasta was fresh and delicious. The fettuccine bolognese was awesome as well as the chicken parm which was to die for. Best time to come is for the early dinner. Highly recommend! read more

A Delightful Dining Experience. First and foremost, the service was exceptional. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. She was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations that truly enhanced our meal. The food was equally impressive. Each dish we ordered was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with flavor. It was clear that the ingredients were fresh and of high quality. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a delight! The ambiance of the restaurant also added to the overall experience. It was comfortable and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and excited to return. I highly recommend visiting Bocca di Bacco. I can't wait to go back again! read more

Had a great time at dinner after going to an art show. Manager and wait staff very friendly and attentive. Will be coming back again.

Food was delicious. The brunch menu is amazing. Our waiter was so on top of our bottomless mimosas. The food is prepared fast, but doesn't lack in flavor or quality. I ordered pancakes, eggs and sausage. I love how beautifully prepared it was. Soooo good, it was. The restaurant was so clean and organized. Lovely music playing in the background. Needless to say, I will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend this place! read more

My friends and I came here for restaurant week and had a great time! I ordered the eggplant rollatini, chicken parm, and cheesecake as my dishes. All of them were great specially the eggplant which was mixed with a vodka sauce. I had bites of my friend's tuna tartare and Caesar salad, both which were great! The staff were very accommodating and sweet as well. read more

We needed a pre-theatre dinner, and wanted Italian. Bocca Di Bacco looked like it would fill the bill, so we grabbed a res. We arrived on time but waited a few mins for our table; understandable in the Theatre District/Hell's Kitchen Sat night 2 hours before curtain time. The room is crowded and super-loud. No romantic "Lady and the Tramp" dinners here. The 2-top at which we were seated was small, but not too close to other tables, so we could hear each other speak, albeit with raised voices. We started with a glass of the Orvieto; decent pour and nicely chilled. They brought us a small complimentary bread basket with a little bowl of olives, a few slices of spicy sopressata, and a piece of parmigiano cheese. That was a really nice touch. We moved on to the burrata "caprese" appetizer; the burrata was wonderful, but the heirloom tomato wedges were about a day away from optimal ripeness. We ordered the veal piccata and the fettuccine bolognese for our mains. The fettuccine was a huge portion; I wish it had been cooked al dente since it was advertised as made in-house, but it was dunked a little too long. The sauce was good, but really more of a ragu than a bolognese. The veal was a nice presentation with greens and mashed potatoes, and a properly lemony sauce. Unfortunately, the large portion of meat was dry and tough; so tough that we only ate about 1/2 of the portion and gave up. So, I can't give a recommendation for anything but location; there are too many wonderful Italian places in Manhattan for me to give this one another shot. read more

Very mediocre brunch food as you might be able to tell from the picture lol. Not sure if the frittata was even a frittata more than a thin omelette. And the potatoes were soggy and not seasoned (as in, everyone at my table was asking where the salt shaker was haha) - not sure if that was an intentional thing? I would compare the food quality to a subpar Denny's (there are some Denny's locations that are actually good though). A couple positives: they're REALLY good about refilling your glass if you're doing the bottomless brunch, and we definitely overstayed our welcome. Not sure if they let us stick around because the place was a little empty. They also don't have that annoying rule where the whole table is forced to pay for bottomless, so if you have non-alcohol drinking friends, this is good to keep in mind! :) Most of the clientele are people celebrating birthdays since it's hard to find other places that will host larger groups. Overall: staff was cool, good for big groups. Potatoes were hilariously bland and food was meh. read more

The food was great! However due to the service and manager I would not return. We had just received our dessert and coffee when the manager told us we would have to leave because they needed the table. There were several empty tables and no one waiting for a table. When I said we just got our dessert and coffee to the manager his response was "well you can take it with you" . No establishment should ever do that to a customer. And yes we still had to pay for the unfinished coffee and dessert. read more

I got pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage. Pretty average pasta. The free bread was mildly disappointing, but I guess you can't complain too much about anything free.

Came here for bottomless brunch on a Sunday and it wasn't too packed and I was pleasantly surprised at the bottomless drink option being an extra $26 for two whole hours. Most places do 60 or 90 minutes so that was a good deal. There's also food on their main menu so you can order pretty much anything-I did decide to get the pesto pasta and it was great, maybe a bit too filling for brunch but tasted great. Service was great and there was an unfortunate spill on us but we got a free round of shots, although for those that don't drink, it wasn't super great compared to comping some items. read more

A nice and pretty run of the mill Italian place for a nice dinner. The pasta was yummy (I had the bolognese and vodka pasta) and the portions were suitable. I had a yummy albeit quite pricey espresso martini. As for the service: on one hand, our servers were very attentive and kind and put in a great show for a birthday. They also were very helpful when someone broke a glass at the table. However, and I think this was a total accident, it took close to an hour and a half for our food to come out. I would come back. read more

The restaurant is a bit on the noisy side, but it is NYC after all. This location is a bit outta the way, and the ambiance and decor is eclectic. We were surprised at the music choices. The food was quite good. Many enjoyed the eggplant, Bronzino, and house made pasta dishes. The wine selection was ok. The value was reasonable for NYC. Service was ok, and we often had to hunt down the waiter to take our order, refill water, wine, and Waites over 30 min for the check. Whenever we asked for something he was quick to respond. Shame we had to ask so much. It's a good solid choice if in the 9th Ave/20th st area. read more

Food and service was great. They give you free salami, bead and parmigiano reggiano chunks.

I recently attended a brunch here for a very large group of people and have to give the staff a shout out for managing the 50+ people expertly. They were super attentive and did a great job hosting a lively group. For the food, it is definitely not going to wow you. It gets the job done. But if you are looking for a place to host a crowd, I think you will be happy. And isn't that what it's all about? read more
