"So i went to Bocce for dinner before a night out for my bachelorette party. I must say the sofa seating at most tables was pretty cool but over all my cousin said it has not changed much since 1994 when she had her bachlorette dinner there. the food was quick and hot and tasty but nothing spectacular. it was super easy to chance our reservations since there was no one there really at 6pm. they were starting to have live music as we were leaving about 7:30 but overall i was not overly impressed by anything and it was definitely hopping with people."

"First time at the restaurant with My Wife and 2 adult daughters.

We were seated very near the Jazz Ensemble which made it hard to hear the waitress and each other.

We had a very enjoyable time, but the food was good while not outstanding.

My wife enjoyed the Beet Salad appetizer and the garlic bread was good.

I made a bad choice on entree's with Penne Portobello with marsala sauce. My tastebuds just wanted a red sauce.

My daughters really liked their Ravioli and Fettuccini Pollo choices.

My wife's Lasagna was uninspired primarily because the red sauce had very little taste. This could have been rectified by using the meat sauce from the Ravioli.

Bottomline we would return having learned from our first experience."

"We had a great meal and experience at Bocce Cafe! Our group had the gnocchi, the penne with vodka sauce, and several other good dishes. A band was playing jazz in the corner which made the evening more fun. I would recommend Bocce Cafe for groups."

"We visited this restaurant on a Saturday night with a group of 6. I would recommend the garlic bread which was actually a thin crust pizza and excellent! I think that the kitchen was having some problems, as our entrees came out over a period of 15 minutes. Some of our meals were very good and others were not. The prices are very reasonable and there is live music! Just don’t expect a GREAT meal!"
