Bocca di Bacco Hell's Kitchen

Came here before our show during Broadway Week. Make sure you go to any dinning at least 2hrs before your show so you can enjoy your meals. The calamari was really good; I'd give it a 9. Had a nice crispy fry batter on it. But that dipping sauce ... it's HOT (spicy)! If you can not bare spice I'd steer away from that one. The diavola pizza 10/10! Highly recommend this. I honestly coulda ate the whole thing but I did want to savor some for later. Service here was so so. Sometimes we could find our waiter and times we couldn't. It was very busy in there and PACKED. There was a wait that went out the door just to talk to the hostess regardless if you had a reservation or not. I would recommend a reservation especially on the weekends. Overall I'd recommend here and I'll probably check out their other locations too and see how the measure up to this one!

Bread tasted stale to me, really hard on the outside. Service was friendlyThere was a glass bottle of hot water instead of chilled water which was strange but our waitress did swap it out for us Limoncello drinks didn't taste like anything more than sprite with a lemon Main dishes were all delicious though!

This restaurant is absolutely perfect... I will try to return every time I am in NYC. The waitstaff is always friendly and welcoming, the inside is cozy and romantic, and the food is delicious. If you come in or order to-go for lunch they have a special that includes a pasta, starter, and dessert for a great deal! I chose the crabcakes, spicy vodka rigatoni, and tiramisu. All were thoroughly enjoyable and they had an array of options to choose from! Our favorite pastas are the spicy vodka rigatoni (perfectly cooked pasta in a rich creamy sauce, very light spice), and the gnocchi alla sorrentina (so delicious and covered in a robust red sauce). We've brought multiple groups to this restaurant and all were quite pleased with their meals!

DELICIOUS, well portioned appetizers and entrees, servers well informed on the menu and ingredients, and buzzy pretty ambiance. My group loved our apps, pasta, and lamb. They do seem to make a lot of reservations at each 15-minute block which creates a bit of a frazzled environment when entering. Service was slow for Manhattan however anytime we flagged a busser they got the waiter's attention.

Came here for bottomless brunch on a Saturday and it was super dead. Our party didn't mind though at all, and service was super quick as a result. The drinks were constantly flowing, and my pasta was DELICIOUS. Would totally come back here with friends!

came for a friends birthday on Saturday evening with a party of 9. we ordered a few table starters including calamari, ceasar salad, and aranchini. All the food came quick and super full of flavor - truly great starters here.for mains i shared a spicy rigatoni pasta with some people since portions here are huge and generous! it hit all the flavors being creamy, pasta being chewy, the sauce being the main character and so so deliciousoverall it was very cute and warm inside, staff was super kind, and a great experience in general. 10/10 recommend and would come back.

Tuesday night dinner at Bocca di Bacco & it was just alright...I love the dim vibe the spot has, but man was it hard to read the menus without having to turn on your phone's flashlight. Ordered the calamari for the table, lacked a lot of seasoning; super bland. The rest of the table enjoyed their entrees, but I thought my gnocchi was way to soft. Was sticking to the back of my mouth and felt like a mochi. Service was just alright. They did bring out some free dessert for us, which was veey sweet (+1) !!! Cool vibe, but will not be coming back. Thanks for having us!

The food was amazing and the portions were big. They made the tiramisu at our table. The lamb chops were very nicely cooked, moist. The ambiance was great were we sat, right by the window. We made reservation but were a bit early and they accommodated us. I highly recommend this place.

I came here for a late dinner alongside some friends. I usually don't get Italian food, so I was pretty excited to try more if it especially considering how amazing a lot of the Italian food I have tried before was. The restaurant was kind of dark, with candles providing a small amount of light alongside music that made it difficult to hold dinner conversations with.A lot of the items on the menu looked very tempting, though ultimately I got the gnocchi sorrentina. I've never tired gnocchi before so I thought this would be fun to try, and Bocca Di Bacco did not disappoint. My wait time was fairly long compared to the people around me, who got their food much sooner than me, but the blend of the potatoes and cheese was heavenly. It was also incredibly filling, and I had to get some of it to-go to eat later.Had it not been for the somewhat overstimulating environment in the form of the loud music and limited lights, I would have given this place five stars. I enjoyed my dinner and I would not mine coming back on my own or with a friend if I had the money for it.

Horrible place ..the good was terrible service was horrible..waited a good 20 minutes before anyone came to the table and when he finally did show up he said " do you want to order anything " ...really ...so rude. The eggplant parm was the most disgusting hot mess I have ever tasted. I big pile of what looked like sreamed eggplant piled up with a little cheese and sauce on top. They really need to look up that recipe....I was just so disgusted with the whole experience...had to ask for bread and the cheese and the salt and the water .....just horrible ...go spend your money somewhere else
