About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
We hold the majority of our tables for walk ins, if you do not see the reservation that you are looking for please stop in and we will get you seated as soon as possible.

Bocce USQ is the NYC backyard we never had but always wanted. Located in the heart of Union Square Park, it is a place for neighbors to escape, be outside, enjoy ridiculously good Italian food, refreshing drinks, a little sun, a little shade, and some (mostly) friendly competition on the bocce court. We take a limited number of reservations and hold the majority of our restaurant for walk ins. If you don't see the reservation you are looking for, please walk in and we will be happy to get you seated as soon as possible.

    Should open up the shutters to look over Union Square park instead of looking out the otherwise into the back of the market stalls. Menu is quite limited (but the pizzas themselves are delicious)

    We love Bocce...it's our new favorite place to sit outside in the city for an afternoon splash! We especially love the Bocce bread with rocotta - paired with a nice rose or their delicious froze. Highly recommend. Service is friendly.

    I live in the neighborhood. Met a friend for lunch. First time dining here. AMAZING pizzas and salads. Had the Farm pizza with pesto, aged cheddar, squash and mozzarella. Really one of the best pizza I've ever had! Caesar salad was fresh, full leaves of romaine with crumbs of cheese sprinkled on top and perfectly balanced dressing. Will definitely be back!

    Honestly, this is NYC! You have to get on your game. The salad in particular (the Chopped) was vintage 1960’s. No wonder people used to hate veggies. Boring. My dining companion didn’t want to mention it, because I was treating, but he did reluctantly agree when I admitted I found it blah. The pizza (The Farm) likewise just ok. $24 in cold brewed coffee (which was really good) later, the bill for this fare came to $80 before tip. Really, wish we had gone elsewhere. You guys have to step it up.

    I went this past Friday when the temperature was in the 90’s. Restaurant should have had all fans going as it was very very hot.

    Bocce is an urban oasis in Union Square Park. The pizzas are some of the best in NYC and the drinks perfect on a warm summer day.

    Pizzas are good, but everything else is disappointing. Breathtakingly rude front of house staff and apathetic wait staff.

    The server was disrespectful. He wouldn’t give us silverware even after we asked. And he practically thee our dishes at us when they arrived.

    There are not many places where you can sit outside in NYC and not be breathing in exhaust fumes. Bocce is like dining in a off the beaten place in Venice. Great food and competent service. the only downside is the menu is a bit limited but everything on it is very good and well prepared.
