While the food is great, the staff and service are why I always return. I’ve been going to the location on 9th Ave between 54th and 55th (both the old and newer location) for more than 10 years. Their bottomless brunch is a hit and has become increasingly popular over the years. Yet regardless of what time of day you go, you can count on good food, drinks and service. Whether you choose to take a date, go with a group of friends or just sit at the bar alone — where you’re bound to strike up conversation with just about anyone if you’re in the mood — Bocca di Bacco is a sure bet.
