About this restaurant

Good for groups
Good for business meals
Good for special occasions

Bocanova is a Pan-American Grill & Restaurant celebrating new world ingredients, many of which are often associated with the old world because of their heavy influence on our favorite European cuisines.

Where would Italy be without corn (polenta) and tomatoes, or Ireland without potatoes, or France without haricots vert and pole beans all of which originated in the new world. What would Asian cuisine be without peppers and rice and this is just the tip of the iceberg. We aim To celebrate the bounty of New World ingredients through the creative interpretation of indigenous dishes from South, Central and North America.

To provide a casual environment that encourages our guests to nourish both body and soul through the sharing of meals with friends and family.

Four of us enjoyed an early dinner at Bocanovo before attending a show. The staff were friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious including appetizers, main courses and two different desserts. We will definitely return and highly recommend this restaurant.

We were a grow of five, and everyone had a different meal. Everyone was very happy with their choice. The scallops were beautifully cooked, both in the salad and in the cioppino. We tried all 5 appetizers and enjoyed them all, especially the Brussels sprouts and the duck tostadas. None of them was too spicy, and we had some delicate palates including a child. Service was outstanding, and our leftovers were brought in a compostable cardboard container!

Bocannova is very upbeat, beautifully designed, with great, unique food. I especially loved their Mexican Caesar Salad with shrimp and with fresh oysters as an appetizer. They play very festive Latin American music, but not too loud

BocaNova remains my favorite spot for celebrations and just stopping by for a delicious meal. Always interesting and tasty menu that changes often. Looking forward to more raw bar offerings..the seafood cocktail is delicious and plenty to share! Try those new desserts, too. The new chocolate sponge cake is extraordinary!
