About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions

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.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Bocca Di Bacco! From start to finish, everything was flawless. The service was warm, attentive, and truly top-notch. The main course was bursting with authentic flavors, and the cocktails were simply fantastic—expertly crafted and perfectly balanced. But the real highlight? The tiramisu! I’ve never had anything like it before—light, creamy, and absolutely divine. Hands down the best I’ve ever tasted. If you're looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience in New York, this is the place to go. We can’t wait to come back next time when we'll in NY!

Always a pleasure dining here. It remains one of favorite pre-theater dining spots. Pizzas and Salads are large enough for 2 to share.

Had to wait 20 minutes despite having a reservation, BUT, the host worked tirelessly to speed time up and secure us a great table. He even offered us discounted drinks at the bar to thank us for waiting patiently. The food was delicious and we will be back!

Excellent service! Nice dining room. Great wine list. Mushroom appetizer was delicious. Calico e Pepe was a little out of proportion. Too much pepper and it needed thicker pasta. Tough dish to balance correctly with only three ingredients.

Great food, good service, but it seems they had trouble honoring reservations - groups who had reserved ended up leaving out of frustration.

Horrible food and totally underwhelming they overcooked the food and the sea bass was very fishy. So not a good food experience.
