This is really such a hidden gem in the Union Square area! Had a wonderful girls dinner here. The manager was warm, welcoming and professional. We enjoyed the bar area. Special shout out to our server Omar! He was so nice and so happy to serve us, 10/10 on hospitality and making us feel great! The food was over all 10/10. The octopus was perfect and certainly a large portion for the price compared to other NYC restaurants. The taste was amazing! Cocktails were 8/10. Highly recommend for happy hour or dinner. I will definitely be returning with family and friends. Also open since 2007! It’s great to see original NYC restaurants be open for so many years! Thank you to staff and truly special establishment! 20/10 stars!!

The definition of mediocre. Food was a mix of hits and misses, calamari and artichokes were tasty, gnocchi was unfortunately gummy. The servers and host were super sweet though!

We enjoyed a private group dinner at Bocca Cucina Bar – the food was good and tasty, and the atmosphere inviting. While the flow of the evening didn’t fully match the size of our group, the staff remained incredibly friendly and attentive throughout. A warm and welcoming experience overall!

Octopus, meatballs, NY strip, semifreddo. I rarely order steak at an Italian restaurant but well worth it here!
Don't sleep on this place. The entire menu is a real treat.

10/10 experience. Both times I’ve eaten here I’ve ordered the Fettucini with mushrooms, it’s so good - creamy and homemade. And the tomato sauce/olive oil mix they provide is delicious. The manager and all of the staff are so friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is great too. A hidden gem.

What a great find, everything was so much better than we ever expected. The lasagna was delicious, just the right amount of sauce, I had the ziti and it was fantastic but I would have liked a little more sauce and could have asked for that. The flour less cake with hazelnut ice cream was great but the cream Brule was probably the best I have ever had and for someone that has had it for over 40 years, that is saying something. Great service and attentive, I don't know what else to say. Make a trip there, you will not be disappointed.
