"Bar Bucce has pitchers of cola and vermouth, round tables perfect for big groups, and a patio buzzing with sexy Italian apertivo energy. In other words, it’s a siren song for winter snowbirds. Word is getting out about this excellent new Little River spot, and the crowds will reach a crescendo whenever it starts snowing in Manhattan. Bar Bucce doesn’t take reservations, but you should still savor the days of being able to grab seats at the bar on a Friday after work. Those days may be numbered." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
