We are here on our honeymoon and wanted to check it out, per all of the recommendations. It did not disappoint! Madison was our server and she was very helpful with decisions that left us torn, and she was super attentive without hovering. I highly recommend this place and definitely make sure to ask for Madison!

The food was spectacular! I had the Branzino Griliato, and it was one of the best I've ever tasted. The service and ambiance were great also. I will definitely visit again next time I'm in NY.

We had the eggplant parmesan, brussel sprouts, a lemoncello, and tiramisu. It was all so good! If I had to choose the best I'd say the eggplant parmesan. We arrived around 6 and were sat within 10 min. Attentive service.

After I had a birthday dinner a few friends of mine and I came into this place because Rudy’s was so crowded but in the End we were not disappointed. This place has a cozy atmosphere and it’s definitely suitable for a date. I ordered an Old Fashioned and it was pretty well balanced.

While visiting New York City, we had an absolutely delightful dining experience at Bocca Di Bacco in Hell's Kitchen. After a nice visit to Central Park, we arrived at the perfect time on Monday, around 3pm, which was right after the lunch rush and just before the dinner rush. This timing allowed us to enjoy a relaxed and leisurely meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was charming and welcoming, setting the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The menu offered a fantastic selection of Italian dishes, each bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. We particularly enjoyed the Pollo Parmigiana, which was tender and perfectly seasoned, and the Caesar Salad was fresh and crisp. The tiramisu was a standout dessert, rich and creamy with the perfect balance of coffee and sweetness. To top it all off, the strawberry gelato was a refreshing and delicious treat. Overall, Bocca Di Bacco exceeded our expectations in every aspect - from the quality of the food to the attentive service and inviting atmosphere. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Hell's Kitchen." #BoccaDiBacco #ItalianCuisine #FiveStarDining #Hell'sKitchenEats #CentralParkVisit

Excellent service and delicious food. We had a larger party for a bachelorette dinner and they took such good care of us and customized the experience to our needs! Elegant ambiance as well and beautiful presentation of plates. I recommend this for any occasion like a family dinner, night out with friends, or a romantic date. I cannot recommend enough! We will certainly be back, thank you to the staff and attentive manager!

Came here to try the Restaurant Week menu and loved it. The service was attentive and refills on our sparkling water as always prompt. We ordered tuna tartare and scampi which were light and tasty, and the side order of grilled octopus was paired nicely with the potatoes. The atmosphere was ok with the full bar and intimate lighting but it was quite casual and nothing drew the eyes. Finally, the last course of dessert arrived and both the cheesecake and chocolate lava cake were delicious and well-made with a richness in the filling and chocolate that capped off the meal.

We had 3 courses plus drinks and cappuccino, but you could eat there for less than this review indicates. Best Italian meal I have ever had in a restaurant. We sat and ate for 3 hours! Split the Burrata Caprese Salad and the Roasted Fig special for appetizers. The Ratatouille with Red Shrimp special still lives in my dreams. Definitely splurge and finish with the table side Tiramisu...you will not be disappointed.
