Boccone (CLOSED)

Spanish tapas and traditional Mediterranean cuisine collide in this Hell’s Kitchen restaurant. Bring a few friends and order a table full of tapas: garlicky patatas bravas ($9), burrata salad with jamon serrano and arugula ($14), croquetas de jamon with truffle oil ($11), grilled octopus ($16) and fried artichokes with a lemon-caper aioli ($10). Mediterranean small plates like hummus with pita ($10) and red pepper–feta dip ($7) might round out the meal nicely. If you’re hungrier for a larger dinner, the paellas for two ($28–$48) would do the trick. Boccone also offers Italian favorites like fettucine with bolognese sauce ($18) and spinach-ricotta ravioli ($22), along with Mediterranean classics like pan-seared branzino ($24) and chicken milanese ($18).
