Bocata has abundant old-world charm with stone walls, flickering candles and low ceilings – and a dash of new-world verve with its groovy music selection. The menu is wide-ranging, but the seafood is the highlight, with whole lobster, roasted black cod and squid-ink risotto among the favorites. It has a great wine selection.
