We passed by this restaurant and was drawn to the wooden decor ceilings and open space. The toasted buns paired well with the jam. Fairly standard Italian pasta. The waiters were oddly slow for taking orders and handing out checks despite fairly limited customers. That said, the servers were very quick with the food and cheese/black pepper.
Why does a restaurant charge $25 for a glass of wine yet roll the chicken breast through a mill to make it 1/8 inch thick and dry and tasteless? Other NYC restaurants do the same. I’m sorry, but it is just lazy if you can’t make a juicy chicken breast. It is my third and last time here. I tried to enjoy the food because it is near my home, but it is not good.

This is my kinda place! Feels like it was designed for men. The carbonara came in a big bowl and I devoured it all. The martinis 🍸 were excellent… and only $12 at happy hour. Meatballs and oysters great. Free bread (yum) comes with a cool container of olive oil and some tomato bruschetta. Happy hour lasts until closing so you’re not rushed. I’ll be back!

Had a reservation and was sitting in our table within a few minutes. The staff were polite and attentive. Visited during NYC restaurant week on 1/31/26 they had a prix-fixe menu that offered an antipasti, entree and dessert which were all good portions and excellent flavors. The red bean soup was to die for specially on a cold winter night. The flavors exploded in my mouth. The bread bowl was perfect and the toasty bread gave it a nice balance. The Rigatoni vodka was delicious, creamy cooked to the right texture, had a spicy kick that I did not mind. The berry tart dessert with vanilla bean ice cream was light, smooth and not too sweet. Definitely will return again.

Had a wonderful dinner at Bocca di Bacco in the Theater District. The food was delicious, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I especially enjoyed the branzino, which was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed dinner before or after a Broadway show. I look forward to returning.
