HELL’S KITCHEN — A Mediterranean tapas bar will set up shop on Ninth Avenue at the end of May, its manager said.
Boccone Ristorante at 506 Ninth Ave., between West 38th and West 39th streets, will serve a medley of Italian and Mediterranean-style plates, manager Emily Gonzales said on Tuesday.
Its owner Antonino Pecora also runs Il Punto, the Italian eatery across the street, a document filed with Community Board 4 showed.
A tentative menu filed with the board shows Boccone plans to serve “seafood towers” for four to six people with fresh Maine lobster, crab, oysters and other seafood offerings.
Small plates including stuffed figs with gorgonzola wrapped in speck, “lamb lollipops” with rosemary and garlic and steamed mussels in white wine will range in price from $10 to $17.50.
The eatery will also serve sliders, “pasta bites” and salads, the menu shows.
Desserts like tiramisu and homemade cheesecake will go for $9, the menu shows.
The restaurant will also serve cocktails, wine and beer if its liquor license is approved, according to the filing.
