History

Owner and founder Giuseppe first got the idea for creating an Italian cafe in the heart of Manhattan while sitting in a cafe in Florence, Italy. When returning to the United States, his first cafe was a small gelato shop called Firenze. This shop eventually grew to become an authentic cafe, but Giuseppe sold Firenze in 1987 when he decided to get married and have a family. In 1992, he returned to the restaurant industry, with the opening of Il Bacco. For over 25 years, Giuseppe and his staff have been providing guests with delicious cuisine and memories that last a lifetime.

Amazing experience 10/08/2022

John was so accomodating and always answered us very quickly from the beginning of planning. We had the rooftop lounge as our cocktail hour and the reception was in the down stairs room. It was the perfect space for our 85 guests. Food was a big factor for us and Il bacco delivered. From the beautifully displayed rooftop cocktail hour assorted with floating apps, italian favorites and raw bar (which we asked for late in the game but John still accomodated us with no problem) to the coursed dinner and even desserts. The amount of compliments we recieved for the food alone was outstanding. Months later our guests were still talking about it. Everything was cooked to perfection and high quality. We had a premium open bar and John also accomodated us if we wanted any special liquors. John was there the entire event and made sure us and our guests were fully taken care of and having a great time. Both the rooftop and main reception were decorated beautifully. They really treat you like family here. We hope to have many more events at Il Bacco!

Amazing Experience 10.16.21

Tina and her team were so wonderful to work with. When we started wedding planning we knew we wanted something small and more intimate. We visited a few venues that were much bigger but when we visited IL BACCO we knew it was perfect for us. From the moment we walked in to talk to Tina about the wedding she made us feel so comfortable. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We had 70 guests and every guest raved about how amazing the food was. To us that was important because food is a huge deal. Tina and the team went above and beyond to accommodate us in our needs.
We couldn't be happier that we picked IL BACCO! So thank you so much and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Wedding of my dreams

Tina and the team were so wonderful to work with. My day couldn't have gone smoother. From the moment, I walked in to talk details until the moment I was helped down the stairs by our Maitre D. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

If you are looking to do a smaller wedding and more intimate IL BACCO is perfect. I had 150 guests and loved every second of it. The food is absolutely amazing and that’s what was most important for me. They were extremely accommodating and every person who came to my wedding raved about how perfect it was. Rooftop cocktail hour, reception in the main room, and even an extended after party back on the roof top. This place was perfect for me, and again, food is a huge deal. I haven’t been to a wedding in a long time where I enjoyed the food so thank you IL BACCO!

Where do we begin.....We had so many dinners, many bottles of wine our engagement party, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, dinner the night before wedding, with out of town family. 1st dinner back after honeymoon. Anniversary dinner. More anniversary dinners. Dinners just becauseDaughters confirmation....
Whatever it was we were treated like family. My love and I have been coming here for just about 20 years. We lived 5 minutes away and are now 25 minutes away and we still go. Great for buieness meals and the rooftop is amazing. Everyone we take to experience Il Bacco become a regular. Joe and his lovely daughter Tina, Maurizio, Bobby at the bar Mr. Peter the list of long term staff goes on and on. The service is fantastic. The ambience superb and I haven't even discussed the food yet but how do you keep guests coming for so long. Without excellent food......The food is fantastic. Love the bread, cheese olives and peppers to start.The fresh pasta veal ragu Oslo Bucco, veal chops excellent. Everything is fresh and joe only buy the best quality meat and and freshest fish. Nice wine list .......stop by and say hello and you will become a fan for like..... If you are in a rush come early if not enjoy the packed restuarant order a bottle of wine and enjoy......

Il Bacco was fabulous! Beautiful space with an elevator, delicious food and great service! We booked a private room for 60 people and it was wonderful. They also have a main dining room and outdoor rooftop with a retractable roof. Very modern and has a NYC vibe!
