Had an excellent time on my wife's birthday. It's an incredible place to visit for a family dinner. Everyone is attentive and helpful. The staff is wonderful. Franco took time to show my daughters a magic trick. These type of gestures including a visit to the table by owner make this place very special

There was a noisy private party in the main dining room so we were given a table in the bar which worked quite well.

A must when we visit Staten Island. Beautiful restaurant, authentic and delicious food with attentive service. This restaurant never disappoints.

Very unusual experience at Bocelli's last night Only one waiter to service the entire restaurant with air conditioning barely working. It was uncomfortably warm. The corn risotto on my entrée was substituted for creamy mixed vegetables. There was only two types of cheesecake and two other dessert desserts available..

Unfortunately we had a horrible experience, we arrived on time seated immediately that was wonderful. I hate doing this type of thing BUT it started with our drinks I ordered an Aperal spritz it was cough syrup my husband said please don't say anything order something else I ordered the Margarita my daughter ordered another drink I don't remember what but again HORRIBLE I told my husband taste it and he said ok ok all 3 drinks were horrible, I left them on the table so they were very visible not one person asked what was wrong ESPECIALLY after it was clear that I ordered another without finishing the first. Now the apps stuffed zucchini flowers tasteless, octopus burned beyond saving it was like chewing burned tasteless gum The sweet & sour calamari would have been good if it in fact had sauce there is so much extra nonsense on the plates in general maybe they think this will mask the NON TASTE Mains my husband enjoyed his stuffed chop My daughter said her pasta with some seafood was good My filet mignon was tasteless my fries were cold greasy and felt like leftovers So all in all very disappointed we will never go back here it's over rated over expensive and just a complete disappointment

Absolutely outstanding! This Italian restaurant is a true gem. The food was phenomenal — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. From the appetizers to the dessert, everything was cooked to perfection. You can really taste the care and authenticity in each bite.
On top of that, the service was amazing. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. They were knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations.
If you’re looking for a place with delicious food and exceptional service, this is it. Highly recommend.

Great food. Fantastic atmosphere. Attentive service. Live music designed to please 50+ age group of Italian decent. Great, fun evening.

Terrific ambience and food! I have to say that I felt that I was in Italy at this restaurant. The decor and vibe it's so cool and the food OUTSTANDING! We had appetizers and two pasta dishes and the flavors were something out of this world, also the portions are very generous. All around a very pleasant night served by a awesome staff and eating great food!

Always a good meal at Bocceli's. Service is also great. They never rush you out. Our time visiting there has always been wonderful.

My husband and I agree this is the best Italian restaurant on the Island.
Consistently fresh awesome dinners.

We braved it out in the heatwave to vote and rather than cooking, we had a late lunch at Bocelli in Old Town, Staten Island.
We started with arancine and fried artichokes & zucchini, along with the Donnafugata Grillo from Sicily (wine is 1/2 price on Monday & Tuesday).
For our main course, we both had the pork chop Milanese with salad. For dessert, the berry torta and chocolate cheesecake.
Their $45 prix fixe lunch could feed an army! The food was great and we have lots of leftovers.
Thank you to Franco for the wonderful service and their charming owner, Stefano.
