This was our first experience at Bocca and we loved it! We had the watermelon bruschetta, cesare salad, arancini, bolognese and seafood ravioli, honestly each dish was a hit, not one weak link in the lineup. We will definitely be returning, as I’m hoping to try their happy hour which looks to be quite the bargain. I will note there is a $25 dessert fee if you bring a cake in or other dessert to enjoy for a birthday. We did bring our own paper dessert plates and utensils however they were prepared to charge us had we opened up our dessert at all. I think the dessert treats they brought to the table on the house (one brown butter cake and 4 limoncello shots) must have been close to $25 themselves. Oh well. Good spot!
