Bocca Di Bacco - Hell's Kitchen

Hidden Gem! I’m from Chicago so this place was perfect. Similar to spots we have out there. Service was great. We had more than one person servicing us. They’d check up on us often which is a big plus. Clean and immaculate atmosphere. Cozy elegant vibes. Bathrooms are clean & is wheelchair accessible. A little pricey but that’s to be expected with the food quality. The mushroom truffle appetizer is to die for! The chicken parmigiana is tasteful and fulfilling. The wife had a squid ink pasta and she loved it. I definitely recommend this place.

Service was outstanding. Our server was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, polite, prompt and extremely attentive without hovering nearby our table. The food was authentic, delicious, generous in portion, and served at the perfect temperature. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming as was the Hostess. We found this Italian gem by reading reviews on multiple websites and it's stellar reviews are well deserved and well earned.

I have been here 3 times and always get the Cacio e Pepe because its so good. Hard to get anything else when it hits every time! The Rigatoni vodka is also really good and drinks are amazing too. The inside is lively on a Saturday night. It did take us a while to get our food since it was pretty busy. Keep in mind if you have a reservation, they will only seat you if your whole party is present!

This place seemed to be always crowded every time we passed by it. Not for nothing… our 1st visit here was 5 star from start to finish. Super friendly & professional staff clicking in a team effort. At least 4 different people approached our table to make sure everything was fine, offer drinks, Parmesan cheese or to chit chat to find out if we had any requests. The food… culinary artistry at its finest. Best Moscow Mules I have ever had. Everything was clearly fresh & perfectly prepared to order. I look forward to returning to try other items on the menu. ( My wife’s Calamari rating was an 8) out of 10

Had a blast at Bocca. The ambiance is beautiful, attentive service and great portions. The calamari was super fresh and the Ahi tuna tartare was out of this world. The lamb chops was seasoned well and the pasta carbonara, I couldn’t get enough. The table side tiramisu was beautifully presented and very unique to other tiramisu I had in the past. Great spot for birthday, date night and/group get together.

We returned to Bocca di Bacco but this time at the Hell's Kitchen location. We previously enjoyed our meal many moths ago. This location seems much larger but filled quickly for evening meal after we arrived around 5 pm (we had an evening theatre performance to attend). We were quickly seated at a two top along the street window wall. Should you head to the toilet to wash as I did be warned that the first restroom you come to the water faucet has the hot and cold lines switched - boy was the hot water extremely hot. We selected a Caesar Salad and the Zucchini Fritti as starters. Our entrées included the Spaghetti Cacio & Pepe, and the Rigatoni Sicilian (I refer to this a Pasta Norma). After the starters arrived we were served a small pan of garlic onion rolls accompanied by a dish of olives, parmigiana chunks, and meat. For dessert we each had lemon sorbet. The meals were good but I have had much better Rigatoni Sicilian - an improvement would be changing the Rigatoni to Bucatini. The lemon sorbet was very flat and was more like a lemon ice in which the maker barely used any lemon. We saw other meal selections including a lobster and seafood combination that appeared as an impressive plate.
