Bocca is a true Roman experience that stems from simplicity and richness.

We follow traditional techniques that allow our guests to embrace the culinary experience of a classic osteria Romana. We prepare our pastas, sauces and broths daily, ensuring both freshness and quality for your meal. Our kitchen staff is trained to follow proper Roman methods such as not using cream in our dishes and serving every pasta “al dente”.

We hope our advocacy for traditionalism satisfies every guest from appetizer to desert. Thank you for considering Bocca as your next meal, we look forward to serving you soon.

Servicio fatal. Solo llegaron dos de los cuatro platos de comida ordenados. Para colmo uno de ellos salió básicamente el Salmón quemado. Mi hijo no se lo pudo comer. Overprice para la calidad y servicio que ofrecen. Debut y despedida.

If you are hungry, dont go there. Food had a good taste but TERRiBLE service. We had a reservation for 4 and waited around 20 for someone to come to the table and take order for drinks and food. Ordered 1 appetizer and 4 entrees. Food took like an hour to come and no one came back to refill drinks or ask anything during all that time. Appetizer never got there until after we had eaten and someone needed ice and salt and we had to get up to the bar to ask for it because not even waiving at waivers to come got their attention. Couldnt get their attention to come and settle the bill, again had to get up to chase someone to pay. Overall good food, but not worth the hassle.

Comida tardó mucho, no tenía sabor. Era uno de los restaurantes favoritos pero se ha dañado. Deben poner más énfasis en el sabor de las pastas. Éramos al final un grupo de 6 y todos salimos decepcionados. Eso si las 2 meseras que estaban, eran excelentes. El bartender un poco antipático.

Way too loud could barely hear the person next to me. Food was fine but nothing special. And they charged me an extra $160 for a bottle of wine when we didn’t even order wine, made me wait 10 mins to fix the bill and didn’t even offer anything for the inconvenience. Will not be returning.

Spaghetti cooked Al dente perfectly with a delicious amatriciana sauce, every bite a delight. My husband ordered a special penne with the creamiest sauce, just amazing. The bread, so fresh. We try to visit every time we come to PR, it is a neighborhood gem.

We wanted to have Osobuco, and it was excellent! Just like the last time. Also, the Carbonara took us back to when we were in Trastevere 🇮🇹. Delicious Roman cuisine 💫

You can’t go wrong here. Every time their pasta is excellent. Their ossobuco was very tender and mouthwatering. The ragú is creamy, thick and very tasty.

Bocca’s service was terrible with the waitress not sharing what items from the menu were not available until we ordered them, the drinks came out wrong, and she left us completely unattended for the second half of our dinner. She did not offer any desert or coffee. Food used to be perfect. This time the osso buco came out with a cold center. The restaurant used to be our favorite Italian place in San Juan. Will not be back for a long time.

4th time there... Therefore i can testify about their consistency. The staff always efficient, happy and kind. Plenty of beautiful family scenes like the ones of the owner with his baby on his lap while dealing with the restaurant affairs. Great winea without a doubt... And the food which no words will be enough to describe how flavorful and colorful was.... The Carbonara is at a Virtuoso level. The dish was skillfully executed and the presentation clean and elegant. The Pizzeta.. Well, i just cant eat only one... 2 is the magic number. Pumpkin Raviolis the closest thing to an epiphany. The Beef Tenderloin cooked flawlessly along with a tasty puree. Everything happened smoothly and always with smile. They are just getting better and better... This people are not only contributing with the comnercial ecosystem of the zone but they are also creating a new benchmark in the local italian cuisine food fare. Kudos to them!!! Jaime Sanchez

Everything was incredible from the moment we walked in. Several greetings. Great recommendations based on our interests. The service was top of line. We had an appetizer, 2 main courses, dessert, and a bottle of wine. Every bite and sip were well done. Loved our experience. Thank you!

Very disappointing experience. We waited 30 for our wine, another hour for the food. This was a Sunday. We four out food, my girlfriend nearly chipped her tooth on a small broken shell in the clam pasta dish. We had toe send it back. My food was not seasoned. The “home made” bread was hard and tasted stale. For dessert they only had one option left. It was bad y’all, save your money and time. Cuevo Del Mar up the street is way better or tacos/drinks at Acapulco
