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.

    Calamari outstanding. Caesar salad drenched in Caesar. Lasagna salty & lukewarm. Service started OK, not very personable - then ignored us after dessert & tended to bigger parties until we flagged him for check. With party of 4 & you’re getting pounded for $200-250 dinners, I wouldn’t go back here.

    I was confused by making a reservation and at 530 the wait was still 20 mins to get a table. I appreciate the 90 minute timeline but we had already seen a show and weren’t in a rush to order, especially when the food came out 5 minutes after ordering. We did take the full 90 minutes and before we could get up our table was being moved to make another table. Unacceptable. We won’t be back.

    The food was good, but Service was slow. I had to go to the bar for drinks ordered at the table. Only had one bartender, who was totally overwhelmed. Aviod this location, but definitely go to the location in Chelsea.

    Very busy restaurant. Food was good; service was outstanding. The hostess was extremely pleasant and the waitstaff was awesome to watch. With how tight the tables were and the sheer number of customers, it was amazing how they maneuvered.
