    I needed some place to dine in for a quick dinner until we wait for our daughters show at the aileys. I didnt have high expectations as there was no long wait time on Sunday night. Pleasantly surprised with the attentive service and great foods. I also appreciated they offer FREE filtered water which is very hard to find. Our dinner special of lobster and shrimp pasta was amazing. My parents are very picky when it comes to outside foods and we were all pleased. Would love to visit again for our next show.

    Delicious food and there were no troubles customizing the dishes. Lots of options and vast flavors. The drinks were yummy as well, but the best surprise was a spectacular dessert at the end!

    This was my first time dining at this establishment and it was lovely! The atmosphere is cozy as soon as you enter and the service was amazing. Giovanni was a complete gentleman and he was so fun to speak with. Eduardo was great in making sure that my sister and I were okay. The food and drinks were high quality and nothing was left on the table. I’m definitely coming here again to have brunch.

    UPDATE - 8/4/24Conveniently located in Hell’s Kitchen, some of us had an amazing experience a few weeks ago and decided to do a repeat performance for brunch today at this popular neighborhood establishment off of 9th Avenue. Reservations were easily made via Open Tables. My partner, our friends and I were greeted warmly by the staff upon arrival at Bocca di Bacco and led to a table for 9 in the back, whose interior is quite dark and the AC could have been a bit stronger. Not the deepest menu, but some solid options with enough for even a picky eater to find something they will want. We decided on the Cheeseburger, Omelet, Classic Benedict, Avocado Benedict, Fried Chicken & Belgian Waffles, Side of Bacon, and Side of Sausage from the weekend brunch. A basket full of petite muffins started our meal. Everything was perfectly prepared with fresh ingredients and brought out at the same time. All throughout our meal, we never felt rushed nor had to ask for extra water; it was always brought promptly by the staff. They were accommodating, and our server was Mynor. The portions were reasonable. Price-wise, it wasn’t cheap but was worth it. We continue to recommend this place.————————-Located near Columbus Circle and Central Park in Hell’s Kitchen, this establishment is owned by brothers Enrico and Robert in collaboration with chef Kristen Sollenne. With three locations down 9th Avenue, it is a favorite spot for celebrities, tourists, and native New Yorkers alike. On the surface, Bocca di Bacco, translated “mouth of the wine god,” doesn’t look much different than any of those places. However, they are known for their exquisite Italian fare, intimate ambiance, incomparable hospitality, and robust wine selection. Reservation was easily made via Open Table around 12:15pm for Sunday lunch. So, my partner, our friends and I were seated right away as first-timers at this very tastefully decorated, cozy, and modern vibe where the tables were closed together. The interior is quite dark; one gets used to it after a while unless you opt for a table close to the front, which we did. Their menu was an extensive offering of small plates, fresh pastas, and tasty full-sized entrees with some vegetarian options. We decided on brunch and ordered Avocado Benedict, Fried Chicken and Belgian Waffles, Frittata Primavera, Rigatoni alla Vodka, and side of Truffle Fries. A basket full of petite muffins started our meal. The food was very fresh and well seasoned. The portions were perfect. It didnt put too much hurt on the wallet. The service was very good, not rushed, and our server was Carlos. One doesn’t have to go to Little Italy for a homemade pasta meal, and we can recommend this place.

  • Review 5 (2024-03-31 - Rating: 4)

    The atmosphere in here is very modern, chic Italian. Tables are a bit close together but it’s still an intimate dining experience. The food was very good, everything from the calamari to the homemade pasta to the delicious deserts. The service wasn’t horrible, but wasn’t great for the price point. Our waiter was a bit rude, but other wait staff who filled our drinks were attentive and friendly so not sure if our waiter was just having a bad day or what. Overall great experience!

  • Review 6 (2024-11-11 - Rating: 5)

    We had a great time! The food was great and the portion was substantial. This place is great for groups! I loved the interiors as well, casual, fun and cozy! I would definitely go back to this place for celebrations. Eduardo, the manager was so personable - he accommodated us at our preferred seat despite not having any reservation! It was quite full! Great job, Eduardo!

  • Review 7 (2024-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best pastas I have ever had! The sundried tomatos chicken vodka rigatoni was to DIE FOR! Honestly one of the best pastas sauces I have ever had. Will defiantly be going back! Unfortuently I didn’t get a pictuer of the pasta before i ate it all! The pistachio crème brûlée was delicious and the Barada cheese was simple but good.

  • Review 8 (2024-09-30 - Rating: 4)

    Food flavourful. Seats are uncomfortable and space is tight that I kept getting bumped by people passing behind. We also ordered food for delivery to the hotel the night before and got the wrong order but restaurant was good enough to refund. Authentic Italian cooking.

  • Review 9 (2024-01-16 - Rating: 5)

    On a price-value curve, I give this place five stars. Brought a group here and everyone enjoyed the food. Food. The service was friendly and responsive. The table agreed the lasagna is the best dish on the menu. The other things we had included the squid ink pasta, calamari, and tiramisu.I would definitely come back here.

  • Review 10 (2024-01-11 - Rating: 5)

    Nice atmosphere, courteous, attentive staff, great Italian food. We cane on a weekday night and did not need reservations. Its a little dark in the restaurant but you get used to it after a while. The chicken Parmigiana, Caesar Salad, calamari, and beef short ribs were all very good, as were the profiteroles for dessert.

  • Review 11 (2024-12-24 - Rating: 4)

    Where Italian food meets NYC glam. Pasta’s fantastic, wine list is a dream, but let’s be real—it’s not cheap. Service can feel rushed, like your table’s on a timer. Still, the flavors hit, and it’s perfect for when you want to feel fancy on 9th Ave!

  • Review 12 (2023-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    This place seemed to be always crowded every time we passed by it. Not for nothing… our 1st visit here was 5 star from start to finish.Super friendly & professional staff clicking in a team effort. At least 4 different people approached our table to make sure everything was fine, offer drinks, Parmesan cheese or to chit chat to find out if we had any requests.The food… culinary artistry at its finest. Best Moscow Mules I have ever had. Everything was clearly fresh & perfectly prepared to order. I look forward to returning to try other items on the menu.( My wife’s Calamari rating was an 8) out of 10

  • Review 13 (2024-07-12 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely amazing food. Had a lot of options while visiting NYC for work. So glad we were able to make it here. ❤️

  • Review 14 (2023-12-04 - Rating: 4)

    I have been here 3 times and always get the Cacio e Pepe because its so good. Hard to get anything else when it hits every time! The Rigatoni vodka is also really good and drinks are amazing too. The inside is lively on a Saturday night. It did take us a while to get our food since it was pretty busy. Keep in mind if you have a reservation, they will only seat you if your whole party is present!

  • Review 15 (2023-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Great stop before a show and plenty to choose from, with attentive staff and service. We started with the mushroom fontina bruschetta and the Caesar salad. The salmon over figs was amazing and the lamb chops were some of the best I have ever had. We finished with espresso and the profiteroles.

  • Review 16 (2024-07-21 - Rating: 5)

    Staff were knowledgeable, the decor was well done and the food was good damn phenomenal. The pasta was fresh, the appetizers fresh and the portions were enormous. Even the cocktails were well done. The meal was honestly underpriced and I intend to go back some day.

  • Review 18 (2024-10-22 - Rating: 5)

    The handmade pasta, amazing food and service could not be beat. We took my partner here for their birthday celebration and were impressed with the service and quality. Our waiter was superb and our meal was perfectly finished with the pistachio creme brule. The new york steak was an amazing bite.

  • Review 19 (2024-01-18 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. The grilled octopus and rigatoni were amazing. The mocktail selections are a bit too sweet but still pleasant. Ill definitely be back!

    We had the pleasure of being served by Salvatore. This man was modelesque with so much charisma and detail to service. Rarely, do you have beautiful tasty food and a beautiful server. Highly recommend.

  • Review 21 (2024-03-26 - Rating: 5)

    The space was beautiful, and the service was amazing! The pesto pasta was delicious, and we also loved the mushroom crostini, and Arancini. They had a good selection of wine and cocktails too!

  • Review 22 (2023-05-09 - Rating: 4)

    Really lovely no frills Italian in Hells Kitchen. Came on a Thursday night and we immediately loved the ambiance.. a nice modern interior. Starters were good.. nothing to rave about.. pasta though was really great.. i tried the bolognaise and the lasagne and i would say go for the lasagna! Lovely wine and dessert also. Only down side was having to ask for parmesan.. will defo come back with Parents or for a mid week treat

  • Review 23 (2023-01-10 - Rating: 5)

    All around excellent. Cozy ambiance with excellent service. Our dinner was delicious and dessert was out of this world! I highly recommend for a relaxing meal. It’s conveniently located (walking distance) near Alvin Ailey and the theater district.

  • Review 24 (2023-11-05 - Rating: 5)

    Both food and service were excellent. The salad was very fresh and tasty and the pasta rich in flavor. I enjoyed every bite. Our server Angelo was amazing, I havent had this great service in a long time; he checked on us frequently and made sure we were enjoying our time and food.

  • Review 25 (2023-07-16 - Rating: 4)

    We returned to Bocca di Bacco but this time at the Hells Kitchen location. We previously enjoyed our meal many moths ago. This location seems much larger but filled quickly for evening meal after we arrived around 5 pm (we had an evening theatre performance to attend).We were quickly seated at a two top along the street window wall. Should you head to the toilet to wash as I did be warned that the first restroom you come to the water faucet has the hot and cold lines switched - boy was the hot water extremely hot.We selected a Caesar Salad and the Zucchini Fritti as starters. Our entrées included the Spaghetti Cacio & Pepe, and the Rigatoni Sicilian (I refer to this a Pasta Norma). After the starters arrived we were served a small pan of garlic onion rolls accompanied by a dish of olives, parmigiana chunks, and meat. For dessert we each had lemon sorbet.The meals were good but I have had much better Rigatoni Sicilian - an improvement would be changing the Rigatoni to Bucatini. The lemon sorbet was very flat and was more like a lemon ice in which the maker barely used any lemon.We saw other meal selections including a lobster and seafood combination that appeared as an impressive plate.

  • Review 26 (2024-11-27 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing decor and food. Stumbled on this restaurant while trying to decide on a place to eat, and moody decor and clean feel really drew us in.The food was amazing. The squid ink pasta with crabmeat had large chunks of crab, and is a must try.Our server was very friendly and suggested drinks. They hit the spot and were quite strong (not a complaint 🤣)Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area, the squid ink pasta might even be worth going out of your way for!

  • Review 27 (2022-10-31 - Rating: 5)

    Really great experience coming here with my partner, it was a belated birthday diner for her and she loves Italian food, she spent several years there cumulatively and she is very critical of Italian places and she said this place was definitely authentic as they didnt have any Alfredo options which apparently only Americanized Italian places have hahaThe servers were amazing!We shared the calamari which was super good,I got the breakfast carbonara which was hands down amazing 👏She got the Fettuccine bolognse which we both shared each others dishes and we both liked everything,Got the Tiramasu for desert and they did the birthday candle/sparkler with ice cream which was super awesome!Altogether it was about 125$ for the 2 of us but the atmosphere and service was amazing and will come back here if ever in the city again.See photos of everything if curious!

    Authentic Italian restaurant with a Sophisticated feel without pitching itself as fine dining. Staff were friendly and gave us good recommendations and explanations on the food.Excellent meal and good wine.

  • Review 29 (2024-09-06 - Rating: 5)

    We had an amazing dinner here!! Fantastic calamari and two extremely fresh and delicious pasta dishes: linguine and clams and gnocchi. The food and service were both outstanding! And we had a delicious birthday dessert - chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream with a sparkler. I would highly highly highly recommend this restaurant!!

  • Review 30 (2024-07-31 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing location for dinner. The food was excellent! However, the food is not the only reason I would go back, but for the service. We had a great server who was friendly and joked around. All the other staff members were great as well. Per example: Through this dinner my friend lost her card and a staff member pulled out her flashlight and went out of her way to help my friend look for it. 10/10 experience

  • Review 31 (2023-01-30 - Rating: 5)

    This very popular restaurant served delicious, authentic Italian food. Service was good despite how busy they were when we arrived. It was very noisy, but we were served quickly and the wine pours were generous.

  • Review 32 (2023-06-06 - Rating: 4)

    Started with cocktails - Limoncello Spritz and the Bocca Aperol Spritz. Bread and a small plate of cheese, olives and pepperoni got us on our way. Dinner menu has good selection of appetizers. We tried the Arancini which was tasty with a red sauce and the Calamari Fritti which was enough to feed the four of us. The main courses were classic Italian dishes - spaghetti pomodoro, spaghetti carbonara, lasagna and gnocchi alla sorrentina. Al dente and flavorful. We did not have room for dessert but they gave us a small plate sampler with a cannoli and bite size cakes. Nice finish to a satisfying meal. Reasonably priced by New York standards. Staff was very good and a comfortable atmosphere. Able to have a conversation around the table. Well worth a visit

  • Review 33 (2024-12-25 - Rating: 4)

    We went as a family of four to the Chelsea restaurant. Really pretty inside, and quite large dining area. We were the first diners but as more people arrived they were all seated right around us which was odd, as there was so much space. I dont mind hearing others conversations but they were so loud and so close it just ruined what was a really nice ambience. That aside, the food was good without being excellent. Starters were huge and a main meal in themselves. There must have been 20 Calamari and 6 large meatballs as an example. No complaints from me there! The main meals needed more flavour as it was a little on the bland side. The Lasagne and Carbonara were OK, but definitely had better, so a little disappointed. The pizza was probably the best meal of the group. Cost was $250 which included a $50 bottle of wine. Overall it was good but not one I would book again.

    I had an incredible experience at this restaurant, celebrating our engagement that had just happened, and Fernando and Jesus made it unforgettable! Their customer service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and truly made us feel special. The food was outstanding, exceeding all expectations. They went above and beyond to make our celebration even more memorable. I can’t recommend this place enough! If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. Thank you, Fernando and Jesus, for making our experience amazing!

  • Review 35 (2023-06-21 - Rating: 5)

    As a random treat on Friday we went for the prix fixe $25 lunch The selection of appetizers and main courses as part of the set menu was far more extensive than Id expected. Good service, great atmosphere and delicious food. I had the kale salad which was fresh with lots of tasty ingredients, the chicken piccata which was perfectly cooked and with creamy mash potatoes and finally the tiramisu ( unfortunately very small portion).Cant wait to go back.

  • Review 36 (2023-09-18 - Rating: 5)

    What a great place. Food was delicious. Pasta was cooked perfectly. Portions were also enough. Our waiter was extremely attentive. Even gave me my second glass of wine on the house. I had a Veal Ossobuco Ragu with my pasta. Something Ive never seen in any Italian restaurant. The flavor was oh so yummy. I highly recommend it. For appetizers we had the Bruschetta Ai Fungi...loved it! The atmosphere is modern and fun. Price for dinner in NYC extremely reasonable. Go check it out if your ever on 9th Avenue. Youll be happy you did. We will be returning! UPDATE...Returned for a second time on 9/17/23. As expected food was delicious, service was A+ and atmosphere perfect. I highly recommend you visit here. You wont be disappointed.

    A pretty good pre fixe 3 course lunch deal in the area. Tuna tartare, chicken parm and tiramisu all good quality. Absolutely large portion sizes compared to the 42nd st location.

  • Review 39 (2024-11-11 - Rating: 4)

    Hostess and manager were extremely pleasant and accommodating. Noise level was fairly high. Food was very good. Osso bucco and carbonara were delicious, veal picatta was ok. Portions are enormous. Wine list was not huge but had some interesting options. It took quite some time for our order initially to be taken. Food came very quickly, but drinks took a while.

    We had a very nice dinner with a party of 12. Unfortunately, a restaurant we had made plans to eat at suddenly closed. Bocca di Bacco were able to accommodate our large party with about 1 weeks notice. We were very thankful. The food was delicious and the cocktails were also fantastic. I would definitely eat here again.

    A beautiful and well decorated Italian restaurant that has THE BEST Al dente pasta I’ve ever had. You want past? You only come here… a Friday night dinner was complete with the most tasteful and authentic taste of Italian cuisine. We had the mushroom saffron risotto, penne pesto, Bronzino, insalata, eggplant pasta. Dessert was the perfect cherry on top with a chocolate lava cake and pears sautéed with red wine sauce. Highly recommend this restaurant if you want to taste the best pasta in NYC.

    The waiters were amazing! Super friendly and welcoming. He made great recommendations on the drinks and foods. It was a busy day, but we got seated within 20 mins. The downside there is the space wasnt built in mind with noise control so it gets super loud. Also the a/c might as well not work! I feel bad for the employees having to deal with the heat, it wouldnt hurt to turn down the a/c a bit. Despite it all, all employees are super helpful and kind

  • Review 48 (2022-07-11 - Rating: 5)

    Just returned and this wonderful venue moved to a larger space and lost the intimacy. It was quite noisy and even the food went downhill.Casual and intimate Italian restaurant in Hells Kitchen with great food. We enjoy their fresh tomato bruschetta with grilled Italian bread and order the Octopus or fresh crab cake appetizers to start. The Bronzino with grilled vegetables is my go to, but the Spinach Gorgonzola Gnocchi and Rigatoni entrees are delicious. Nuncio is a terrific waiter if youre lucky enough to get him. Finish with espresso and if you have room, try the Ricotta cheesecake.

    Went here on a date with my boo for their brunch. Its a very nice place to go for a date. Atmosphere is romantic to me. The service was amazing but the best part was the food. The truffle fries were so amazing. It was a large portion so I was shocked. The penne a LA vodka was superb. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was to die for. I will go back for sure.

    Stopped in here for the weekday prix fixe lunch- what a tremendous deal! Appetizer, entree, and gelato or tiramisu for $25 is unheard of in NYC. Generous portions as well.

    Our first time here & it was a joy! Beautiful ambiance, delicious dishes, & the service was exceptional! We had the short ribs & chicken parm — recommend both! The Mt. Etna white wine was delicious. We both said, “We should have ordered the bottle!” Massive thank you & praise to our waiter, Giovanni! Friendly, hospitable, as well as above & beyond. As an Italian-American, it was beautiful to use & hear the Italian language in the restaurant. It makes it feel like an authentic experience! Can’t wait to come back for dinner & brunch. Pro tip: get the espresso martini! Grazie mille! ❤️❤️

    Great little place on 9th Ave near the theater district. Wednesday night it was easy to get a table. Service was attentive. Dont look for a beer selection here. Its nonexistent. The Cesar Salad was generous and yummy. It came very well mixed and chopped topped with a slice of cheese and one anchovy. The gnocchi and the sausage with mushrooms were both amazing. We had leftovers to take home. We save room for dessert, a nice presentation of chocolate cake and ice cream. We shared. Highly recommended.

    We were looking for a place to eat near our hotel and stumbled on this place. The ambiance is really nice and service is great, although it’s quite noisy. With a party of six we sometimes had trouble hearing each other.Then again, you come here for the food, right? Well, that was brilliant! In David we had a lovely server who recommended some delicious dishes. We had some starters to share and then went for the Costata di Manzo Brasata, pear salad and pastas (Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe). But the winner of the evening was the housemade lasagne. Make sure to try this one!Also, we ordered a bottle of wine which didn’t turn out to our liking. David was kind enough to get us a different one, based on our taste profile, which wasn’t on the menu!

    My experience was nothing less than astonishing and amazing. The 3-course dinner is laid out perfectly and is very tasty. The employees are also very nice. I can’t find anything to fault this place on.

    Ive always liked this place. New space in Hells Kitchen is comfortable and attractive. Service is on point and efficient. The current Restaurant Week menu is a fabulous value at $45 and the food was delicious. Good wine selections and full bar. The papardelle with lamb ragu was yummy. And a gorgeous tiramusu.

    The ossobucco over fettuccine always good choice. My companion ordered the spaghetti and clams was very good too. Don’t try the tiramisu, it was not what I expected. Drinks was ok.

  • Review 70 (2018-05-09 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing!!! Loved this place. Came here for an anniversary dinner and the food was fantastic. The cheese and meat platters are tasty, I’d just replace the Brie with more of the other cheese options they had. Environment was pleasant we got there around 4:30-5p and it was nice but a little later by the time we left it was a bit more noisy - wasn’t crazy and drink felt nothing to not go there again for. Adding this to my list of go to’s in the city. Great wine list too.

  • Review 71 (2023-02-05 - Rating: 5)

    Visited from the UK was walking round looking for somewhere when we came across Bocca Di Bacco. Decided to give it a try as it was restaurant week and 3 courses for $45. Absolutely blown away and this was the best meal I’ve ever had in my life no problem saying that. Got the beef carpaccio to start and it was lovely. Then had the short rib with mash that came boneless and fell apart in my mouth. Will definitely come back when next in NYC

    Great and fun place. Casual Italian dinning. Incredible cocktails. Big portion food - good to share. I recommend the grilled octopus, eggplant stuffed ricotta, bruschetta, tortellini in butter sage and Lamb shank. The staff is fun and professional. The bartender was really helpful, gave us taste of some of the cocktails and picked a good bottle of wine for dinner.

    Was a little skeptical going here since the area is very touristy and a lot of the restaurants around here serve very commercialized food, but I was very pleased with my experience.I had the chilean sea bass which was very tasty and a good portion.

Our server Lana was so professional and personable, and the remaining serving staff were very friendly and attentive. We noticed the General Manager, Tony, was also attentive to the details. I was surprised with a candle in my dessert, along with a change in music to a birthday song - so thoughtful! Thank you!

His name was Roberto from Sicily & he is a gem who took the time to speak Italian with my daughter, she is still speaking about it now.I’ve been a chef for 28 years & haven’t come across such a nice person in hospitality. Food was clearly freshly cooked to order as we waited a fair bit of time which I don’t mind at all.All dishes were very good & cooked with care.Keep up the good work guys

    Authentic Italian food in a fine dining atmosphere. The staff could not have been more accommodating. I did a semester in Italy that sparked a yearly pilgrimage back to Italy. So, finding a place that took me back there in wonderful NYC was a treat. Hadnt been here in a while, and it was like coming home. Let your senses be delighted by the delicious aromas, beautiful presentations, and old-world feel. We were a party of 6, and from the fish, risotto, and 4 different pastas, nothing disappointed. Bravisimo!

I read a review saying the portion sizes were small, which I couldn’t understand unless you normally eat for 2! Couldn’t fault the dining experience at all.

  • Review 112 (2023-12-31 - Rating: 5)

    I came here with a party of four around 5 pm and we walked in without a reservation, hoping there might be a table available. The host kindly sat us and we were promptly waited on. The waitstaff were outstanding and everything that we ordered was delicious. We had the beef carpaccio appetizer to share and our individual entrees were the lasagna, garganelli al osso buco, duck risotto, and lamb shank. To finish the night, we had table-side tiramisu which was very unique and was eaten in under a minute. We would be happy to come back if we are in the area again because this experience reminds us of dining in Italy. We can tell that the people who work here have a passion for good food and great service.

    We came here looking for some good Italian food while out exploring the city and it didnt disappoint. Service was great, atmosphere was great, and food was excellent. Portions are on the larger size which was great but we left stuffed. We started with the Mediterranean salad which was fresh and very tasty. My husband got the steak and frites. Steak was cooked perfect and had good flavor. The fries were unexpectedly delicious. Crisp but not fried out and just the right amount of salt. I got the chicken Parmigiano. Very good. Everything you would want and expect. Delicious and huge serving. We also got a 1/2 order of the cacio e pepe. So good!! We left very full and very satisfied. Thank you!

    We came here for a friends birthday dinner, and luckily, we were able to get a table without having a prior reservation. The ambiance here is a nice, intimate vibe that would be perfect for a date night or a group celebration.We started out with the carpaccio di manzo and calamari. Both were very good, the calamari was the better option out of the two. I ordered the carbonara, the pasta was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful and creamy. Everyone else seemed to really enjoy their food. We got my friend the chocolate cake as a dessert for his birthday and it was delicious. We also ordered the cheesecake, but it was not very impressive.The service was friendly and attentive throughout our dinner. The prices are overpriced as is expected for the area.

    Hidden Gem! I’m from Chicago so this place was perfect. Similar to spots we have out there. Service was great. We had more than one person servicing us. They’d check up on us often which is a big plus. Clean and immaculate atmosphere. Cozy elegant vibes. Bathrooms are clean & is wheelchair accessible. A little pricey but that’s to be expected with the food quality. The mushroom truffle appetizer is to die for! The chicken parmigiana is tasteful and fulfilling. The wife had a squid ink pasta and she loved it. I definitely recommend this place.
