Bocca Di Bacco is a New York City Restaurant Group establishment from dynamic restaurateur and New York native Robert Malta, who owns nearly a dozen restaurants throughout the city. “I’ve been in the business 25 years,” Malta says. “I opened the first Bocca Di Bacco in Hell’s Kitchen in 2007 and it quickly became a neighborhood favorite. The Chelsea location is an evolution of what we’ve been offering. There are new menu items, and a more refined look and feel, but it’s still a great spot for the neighborhood any night of the week.”

always a pleasure to come here for the atmosphere, the food and drink and good service. It would be nice, however, to not dim the lights to such an extent that it is hard to see your plates!

Food is never great. Just good. Some people might find the service above expectations. But for us it sometimes feels rushed and overbearing. Twice they went to clear our bread plates before we were done. The same thing happened once for our entrees. The fried zucchini was excellent and my pasta was al dente as it should be. My wife's salad and vegetable dinner were appetizing but my wife had to send her vegetables back for reheating as it was barely lukewarm. It still remains our go to pre Atlantic Theater.
