What King Homenick doesn't like about Bodega:
Staff was nice and attentive but the food was not good. I hate to base my opinion after tasting just a couple of the appetizers but we were afraid of ordering anything else it was so bad. View all feedback. What Dave Finlay Sr likes about Bodega:
Fantastic place in Little Italy. Great wine list and the tapas are some off the best I have had. The fresh octopus was very tender and tasty, lamb sliders were amazing, and the cheese plate, fantastic. The staff was great, and very helpful. Definitely recommend. View all feedback.
