    My son ordered the steak medium rare it came well done. Second steak came well done again. Thirdly, ordered the steak strip instead came out raw. My son left without eating on his birthday while watching his family eat. It wasn’t a good experience.

    We came for my birthday and specifically for the butternut squash ravioli and was very disappointed to hear that it’s gone for the summer. While the pasta alla vodka was good I realistically wouldn’t come back until the ravioli is back.

    Food is always delicious!! Our server Bianca was attentive & pleasant. It seemed to take a little longer to get our entrees, than anticipated since there were a lot of empty tables. The bar seemed busy & noisy. Putting up a glass partition above the booths that share the wall might help keep the noise down.

    BOCCA never disappoints. Unfortunately we started with one waitress and then they switched which slowed down service but other than that glitch everything was spectacular.

    Service was really good. Friendly upon arrival and sat within an acceptable time from for our reservation and the business of the restaurant. The wait staff were attentive and made us feel welcomed! Food was average however, the NY steak was fabulous for an Italian restaurant! The food pairings were great as well. What really threw me was the seating. We were squished against a wall and another table was right on top of us. This caused the wait staff to constantly squeeze by and the other patrons kept bumping into us. Or intentionally but very frustrating while you’re trying to enjoy your meal.
