About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Good for groups

Dynamic menu of original Southern Italian cuisine that dominates this welcome addition to Hell’s Kitchen. This addition is made even more welcome with the breathtaking beautiful transformation of a once historic space into a hip, fun, stop for dinner that any gourmand will savor.

Formerly, known as Film Center Cafe, Bocca Di Bacco boasts Italian cuisine from Puglia, Sicily, and Sardegna with the endless selection of wines from small vineyards in Italy. Exemplifying our policy of being “Farm to Table” operated, we use the healthiest ingredients from locally grown vendors. Located in the heart of the Theater District, this new modernized restaurant features innovative new recipes and the use of the Enomatic Wine Systems.

This restaurant was recommended to me, however, it was truly a disappointment. We arrived 20 minutes early to find a mass of people waiting at the front of the restaurant. We had to remind the Captain twice that we were waiting since there was no way they would find us when our table was ready. Ultimately, another member of my party, flagged down the head maître d’, to seat us for the next available table. I ordered the special, warm spinach and bacon salad as an appetizer. It was disgusting. The bacon was very fatty and not edible. The waiter never bothered to come over to our table to ask how our appetizers were, otherwise I would have sent it back. For the main dish, I ordered the Rigatoni Vodka. It was tasty but dry. They didn’t have enough sauce on the dish. The waiter never offered any fresh pepper for the table, only grated cheese. The service was unfriendly, inattentive and rushed. I would not waste my money going to this restaurant. There are far better choices.

Overall, the experience and meal were satisfactory. However, shortly after informing our server we were going to pass on dessert, while still enjoying cocktails we had purchased, we were asked to vacate our table because someone else needed it. We had only been there an hour and 10 minutes so I found this to be quite tactless.

We had come in for the theater and chose from the prefix lunch menu. You can’t have a better deal for $25. The food was excellent the service attentive I hadn’t been in a while and I’m glad to report that it remains a choice spot in the theater district to dine.

Everything was delicious from the fresh baked bread and Sicilian olive oil to the hazelnut gelato! We took advantage of the price fix lunch menu. Many choices and seasoned to perfection.

Food was great. The Wait Staff seemed overloaded, but they were attentive when with us. Noise was a bit on the high side, but the restaurant was fully booked. Would reserve and dine there again.

service was good. Most of us liked our food. I asked for a well done hamburger and there was too much red. I really didn't enjoy it. The dessert was great. Overall good pre-fixe.
