Profile

Brothers Enrico and Robert Malta own over a dozen midrange restaurants in Manhattan, most of them clustered in the theater district. They've expanded their holdings with Bocca di Bacco, a collaboration with chef-partner Roberto Passon, whose eponymous restaurant down the street is also a Malta brothers production. Bocca calls itself a wine bar, which explains the 40 selections by the glass, the mixed olives, the meat and cheese plates, and the little nibbles like rice balls and marinated sardines. But its identity as a full-fledged, neighborhood-friendly Italian restaurant is substantiated with pastas like chestnut lasagnette with chickpeas and sausage, and entrées like lamb osso buco. — Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite

I recently had dinner here and what a pleasant surprise. The food, service, ambiance and extensive wine list are very good. The waiters are professional and well informed on both wine and food and guide you through selections easily. The wine list is well balanced and the food is authentic. Good Job!
