   Our server was surly and unpleasant. The linguini vongole was flavorless, and the linguini was soupy and overcooked. They charged us for each refill of soda, which were served in 2 to 3 oz glasses, at $5.00 apiece, without any notice. Nice atmosphere, but Very disappointing.

   Really cute Italian restaurant, authentic, with great food. Great atmosphere, right down to the brick walls! Best lasagna (we tried it based on the reviews and agree!) and the pasta with bolognese was also excellent. Salads were great, too. A little crowded/noisy but it is Thanksgiving week. We would go again!

   I’ve been a loyal customer of this restaurant for years, dating back to its previous location, where the staff was always welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately, my recent visits have been disappointing. On the past few occasions, I’ve had the same rude server, whose attitude and lack of patience have made the experience unpleasant. Instead of offering helpful recommendations or engaging with our table, he displays a dismissive demeanor. He was also careless, slamming drinks and plates down, and repeatedly bumping into chairs and knocking over coats without even acknowledging it with a simple “excuse me.” It’s gotten to the point of feeling like expensive fast-food table-flipping behavior, which is not any Italian dining experience and has completely clouded what I once loved about dining here. I hope management will reconsider the staff, perhaps promoting some of the hardworking busboys who demonstrate better customer service. A little more attention to the guest experience would make future visits much more enjoyable and less like a burden.

   We had an excellent meal at Bocca... The food was exceptional, especially the Portuguese Octopus appetizer that was plenty to share. The service was impeccable, and prices reasonable for the NYC area. Our only issue at all was the noise level, primarily from a very loud group in a table near us. Once they left it was quite pleasant.

   Waited for an hour and never got our food before a show. We left hungry. Extremely disappointed. Never coming back.

    Terrible service and rude manager. Our food didn’t arrive in time. We almost had to leave without eating.
