    Date night with another couple! We enjoyed the ambiance and evening. Our food was delicious! I had the Bacci pasta it was spicy with a hint of sweet from the honey. The shrimp was perfect in the dish. This was our first visit and we will look forward to dining at Bocca again. Everyone enjoyed their entree and we all sampled each others I thought everything was good!

    We planned to try out Bocca for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! From appetizer to dessert, everything was fabulous. We will definitely be back for a date night.

    Wonderful setting! Our server was amazing. Mussels were great! Both shrimp/pasta dishes were super yummy. The chopped salad was a little too sweet for my taste. Overall 9/10 rating - highly recommend!

    Excellent restaurant. My companion and I each ordered a salad (Ceci chopped and Arugula and fennel) and both were great, though mine had a bit too much dressing. For primis we ordered rigatoni with wild boar ragu (sensational) and the Bosco Mare with linguini, also wonderful. We decided to share a secondi, the Corvina, served with a crispy risotto torta, and this was probably the penultimate dish of the entire meal. We also had a nice bottle of prosecco, reasonably priced and refreshing. While one might argue that the prices were a bit steep, I find this to be in keeping with the current inflation-driven prices in other restaurants, coupled with the fact that this is a small restaurant and so the emphasis appears to be on quality over volume. We will definitely return, if we can get a reservation, that is!

    We had a reservation and when we arrived the table was not ready. We went to the bar area and sat at the bar and waited 20-30 minutes and were never able to order a drink. There was one bartender who was incredibly busy. Once we got to the table we ordered a bottle of wine. No one ever came by to pour it after the initial glass. We ordered food and about 10-15 minutes later the hostess came and told us they were out of what my husband had ordered. At the end they sent a round of Limoncello, I think as service recovery. We have dined at Bocca multiple times and this was not like on any other occasion. I would think twice before going back.

    The food was amazing. We got the Baked Goat Cheese to start and it was outstanding! For mains we got Bistecca Chianti and the Ricotta Chicken. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, both the steak and chicken were cooked perfectly. 10 out of 10 would order this meal again. However, we’re excited to explore more options on their menu next visit!

    The food was EXCELLENT. It’s a quaint little place with a perfect for a date or 4 top. Their pasta is perfection and they did a spectacular job choosing and shucking oysters. Also recommend the arancini.

    We made a reservation here for our first wedding anniversary. I had never heard of this place, but I’m always prepared to try Italian! We absolutely loved our meals and the overall experience. All the staff were so kind and helpful. They even comped our dessert since it was our anniversary. It was unexpected but much appreciated ❤️ we will be going back!

    Helpful, courteous service from LeAnn. For starters the calamari was delicious - lightly breaded and very fresh, and Arancini was also great. We split the Della Casa pasta dish and enjoyed every bite. We splurged on dessert and got both the tiramisu and the coffee and donuts, along with an affogato espresso. The atmosphere was perfect for celebrating our 39th anniversary; we highly recommend Bocca!

    I made a reservation for a quiet table for a Monday evening dinner with my parents. Our request was quickly accommodated and our server was delightful and patient, which is so important for our experience as our parents have some hearing and cognitive issues. Everyone was delighted with their food and dessert. Highly recommend for a good meal you can count on when it matters. I was also pleased to see how busy this neighborhood spot was on a cold December Monday.
