    La Boccaccio was chosen by friends, and it was a good choice. So good, we took different friends the next evening. It was still excellent and they're going to come back.

    Had a very hard time conversing with my companion. Also the food was not as good as their Tempe location. I'll never come back.

    This was the loudest restaurant we have ever eaten in. The food was just average and it definitely survives on the bar profits. The waiter was very good and the noise didn't seem to bother there younger crowd.

    I had been to La Bocca a few weeks - I was disappointed but since it is in my neighborhood I decided to give it another try. Mistake! Although I had made a reservation I had the choice of a table scrunched in the corner or the bar. The bar it was. I mentioned to the bartender that I had been disappointed on my first visit - mostly due to blandness of sauces. Since I was ordering the calamari (second time) he suggested that I get some tomato sauce on the side. That did help the overall flavor - what didn't help was that I was charged $2 for the space. Then I was charged $3 for bread - when I noted that the bartender said -> I thought something was wrong with the bill. I should have said -> why didn't you fix it but I decided to just let it go since he took it off the bill. If I say the wine pours were 5 oz I am being generous. Just not worth it - too bad because it is convenient.

    We don't go to High Street often. It is just located inconveniently for us. However, I decided to try La Bocca Wine Bar & Urban Kitchen based on reviews online. We were not disappointed. It is charmingly decorated with bright orange and large doors opening to their patio. It is intimate as not too large or impersonal. The service was outstanding and the food presentation and quality great. We enjoyed a tasty French onion soup that could have had more cheese but still very good. I had their chicken salad that has no mayo - they use vinegar and it is very good. Their bread is a pizza bread. A hit with us! We were very glad we tried this restaurant and will definitely return.

    Not a great experience. Food was adequate at best and for a wine bar, the wine selection is extremely small. Most restaurants have a deeper wine list than this place. Will not return.

    My husband, daughter, and I went for an early dinner to La Bocca. It was still happy hour, so we both took advantage of the wine deal and ordered a glass each (white for me, red for him) along with a salad appetizer. The salad came out, but our drinks were no where to be found. When we asked our server, she did quickly run over to the bar, find them, and apologize for the delay. They don't have a children's menu, but you can "DIY" a pizza and so we ordered one with just cheese on it for her- and she scarfed it. I had the garlic pizza, at the server's suggestion, and it was equally delicious. The only drawback really is that they seated us right next to the doors leading outside- which meant we got blasted with cold air every time someone went in and out of the doors. Other than that, we had a lovely time and would definitely go back.

    Had the Med Appetizer which was great - a mix of hummus, baba ghanoush, olives and feta. The rest of the meal - pizzas and pasta - was good. Service was friendly, although getting a drink was a little slow.
