Bocelli

WOW, I went there for dinner yesterday with my wife. My wife is gluten intolerant, and they were amazingly accommodating. They made her gluten-free eggplant parmigiana. They also stated that next time they can make her gluten-free fried calamari. I had the most amazing rib eye steak with fresh rosemary and we both had a bacala salad. We will definitely be dining there again really soon. The wait staff and the manager went above and beyond to please us.

My favorite Italian restaurant, they are amazing and the food is fabulous. Highly recommend it

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.

A Hidden Gem Turned Favorite 5 Stars Two months ago, my husband and I finally decided to try Bocelli Restaurant, a place we’ve passed by countless times. We live just 10 minutes away but always hesitated “It’s in a strip mall,” I’d say. How good could it really be? Well, we were wrong, so glad we gave it a chance. One night with nothing planned, we looked it up and were blown away by the reviews. We decided to go, and from the moment we walked in, we were transported. The atmosphere was beautiful—it felt like a little escape to Italy. The food? Absolutely delicious. Every dish was perfectly executed. We sat at the bar and were thrilled to see **Lissy**, a bartender we knew from another restaurant. She was as kind and sweet as ever. The hostess, **Alexi**, was a sweetheart. Even though the place was packed, she stayed calm, professional, and accommodating. They also offer valet parking, and the **valet attendant** went above and beyond retrieving our car 10 minutes early so we wouldn’t have to wait. Talk about service! And then there’s **Stefano**, the owner. What a presence, going from table to table, treating guests like friends and family. Our server, **Francesco**, was outstanding. He was attentive, thoughtful, and made sure everything was on point. We loved it so much, we came back again in May. And guess what? It was even better. Same amazing food, even warmer service. Now, we’re coming back again this Tuesday for the third time in under two months, and we’re already planning a family dinner here in July. Thank you, Stefano, and your wonderful team, for creating such a special experience. We’re thrilled to have found our new go-to spot just 10 minutes from home! Cheers! Nathalie & Mike

Delicious food and an atmosphere that transformed me to Italy. The staff is friendly and professional. Food is outrageously good. Would definitely recommend!

We had a family party upstairs and I can't say enough good things. Everything about Bocelli is top notch, from the food, to the service, to the atmosphere. A big thank you to our servers, Sylvia and Eric, and bartender Paul, as well as GM Rob Hanley and Chef Stefano for making our night so special and memorable!

Visited with my girlfriends for a girls night out. Beautiful interior, great atmosphere and friendly service. Every dish we ordered was delicious. The interior was cozy, the atmosphere was lively yet intimate, making it a great spot for catching up over delicious food.
