About this restaurant

Neighborhood 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 is the third of the three Bocca Di Bacco location in which we have eaten. The other two were nothing short of wonderful. This one was not so much. It might be because the Theater District is the busiest, noisiest and most crowded of the three. And, if noise and crowds were the only issues, we could have forgiven and been happy for a successful restaurant. But, one of the orders was chicken parmigiana that turned out to be sautéed on only one side, leaving a good portion of the 'other' side raw. We didn't notice it until we had all tasted it. We returned it, they took it off the bill, but four of us will be waiting a couple of days hoping we don't have to make a trip to the emergency room. Everything else was great. We loved the rice balls, the pasta and the Branzino, the affogato and the amazing chocolate dessert were all wonderful. But that chicken scared us and the fact that the chef didn't come out was upsetting. The place was jumping at 5:45PM on Saturday so it was also a little tough to get the attention of a waiter to ask for salt for the pasta. We will definitely try this establishment again, but at a time when it might not be as busy. We will absolutely go back to the other two Bocca di Bacco. I am so sorry to have written this review. So sorry.

The location is great for theatregoers The food is good and they get you out in time. BUT it is very noisy and the service is a bit hap-hazard. The staff just isn't attentive. We had to ask multiple times for basic things like butter, a 2nd drink, the check, etc.

We chose this restaurant due to the location and reviews. They did not disappoint. Everything and everyone was great. Service was prompt and friendly since we were going to a play. All of us enjoyed our meals. My friends were very happy I chose this restaurant and will return.

This is our go-to for pre-theater (at both Bocca locations, depending on which show we're seeing). Always reliable, fast service. Only 4 stars mainly because of the noise level (which gets louder after 6 pm). We will always return here!

Bocca di Bacco remains one of the great restaurants in the Theater District. While prices have gone up since the pandemic, they are still reasonable (certainly by Theater District standards) and the food is always excellent.
