Bocca Cucina and Bar

Went to Bocca for the first time with some girlfriends and literally can’t wait to go back! They have the best cocktails and my favorite was the dessert and pasta dishes. The waiter was very helpful to suggest what to get. The ambiance of the venue was classy and chill. Can’t wait to come back soon 😋

We made a reservation for a group of 6 on a Saturday night a week ahead. Great pasta! Made in house or is fresh pasta. We liked the pesto and the seafood pasta dish. For group of 6 or more they added on top automatically but they were nice and told us ahead of time so we understood when we got the check. Great spot for a group

Bocca Cucina did a wonderful job hosting our group event. We had a group of 12 for a bachelorette dinner, and the staff went out of their way to make the night special. They printed a custom prix fixe menu for our group, were able to accommodate multiple dietary restrictions, and made sure service was quick and friendly. On top of this, the food was excellent and served promptly. It’s a beautiful space for a special event, and I will absolutely be returning.

We enjoyed our dinner tremendously. The staff was so friendly and attentive. Causal yet chic along Park Ave S. The dishes are modern Italian and very delicious. The tomato and olive oil for the bread was very spring and uplifting. One star off the food bc the mussels were over cooked. The breaded chicken cutlet could have used a bit more sauce so it would not be just fried cutlet. Very tasty still. Will definitely go back. Also a great place for date night.

This restaurant has transcended 20 years of my life. Dates, dinners with friends, engagement celebrations, holidays and occasionally a peaceful solo dinner. The food, wine and service have not wavered once in 20 years and in NYC that is a tall order. Thank you and I hope for another 20 years of the best cacio e pepe i have ever had.

Kinda stumbled on this place last minute and glad we did. Great pasta and desserts. Staff gave great recos and was very nice.

We came here for happy hour and what a great find. The bartender shacked awesome cocktails, the food was absolutely delicious, Brazilian bossa nova on the background, super friendly Brazilian host. Unfortunately we didn’t have dinner but starters but we would come back to try more next time for sure

I had high hopes for this Italian restaurant, but unfortunately, my experience was underwhelming. The service was slow and inattentive—our waitress was barely around, and there were long gaps between visits to our table. The biggest issue was with their Restaurant Month menu. Nowhere on the menu did it state that the entire table had to order from it, yet when we tried to, we were told we couldn’t unless everyone participated. This forced me to change my order last minute, and I was rushed into picking something else. I ended up getting a pizza, which was mediocre at best—not something I’d come back for. Overall, the poor service, unclear policies, and rushed ordering experience made for a frustrating meal. I wouldn’t recommend this place, especially if you’re expecting good service or flexibility with their special menus. The food also didn’t warrant the pricey menu.
