    I love Bocca so I’m hoping that this was just an off night. It was so loud in the restaurant you couldn’t hold a conversation across the table. While our appetizers were amazing, our entrees both disappointed - they lacked flavor and were only lukewarm when they were served. However, I can’t think of a time when I’ve had service there as bad as it was tonight. While most of their staff are very professional and well polished, our server was completely disengaged and looked as if she’d just rolled out of bed and came to work. I lost track of the number of times we had to flag her down and dinner took forever, almost as though she kept forgetting about us. Tonight was definitely a miss. A friend and I were celebrating her retirement, so it’s unfortunate we had such a poor experience.

    Great experience. Hospitality, service and food were all excellent I tried one of the new menu items, a white lasagna. It was different, but great. Absolutely will go back again.

    This was the first year for the (Mother’s Day) Blooms, Bellinis & Bites and it was such a Wonderful experience!! I would recommend this experience for next year if you did not get the chance to go this year. The weather was perfect for the outdoor event. It included a delicious lunch buffet, and an experience making our own bouquet from the flowers we chose. There were fun drinks to enjoy as well and the tables were beautifully decorated in a theme to celebrate mothers! Afterwards, we were served a nice dessert with ice cream. All in all, a perfect day at Bocca!

    Had a great weeknight date night here. Ordered the gnocchi, carbonara, and the cavatappi dishes to share. All were awesome but the carbonara ended up being our favorite, our server Daphne was wonderful. Will be revisiting

    Had a reservation for 3 people. It was a chilly, rainy day, and they originally seated us by the door. We were all cold from being outside most of the day, so requested to be moved to an open identical table further into the restaurant. We asked one very nice (potentially assistant) hostess if we could move to that table. She said yes, and was about to move us there when the actual hostess (white, extremely long black pants) told her, with quite an attitude, that she couldn’t move us because the other table was reserved. The girl looked at her incredulously, because obviously the other party could have had our table. No one is reserving certain tables. The actual hostess offered to pull a curtain on a room that was beyond the door, so clearly that would solve nothing, then she disappeared into the kitchen. Once she was out of sight, the really nice girl came over and offered us a table in another room. She was fantastic, as was our waiter. Great service. Great food. Beautiful restaurant. Just not a great first impression.

    I came here with my boyfriend for our prom dinner. The experience we had here at Bocca was absolutely outstanding. We were seated and taken care of immediately. The food was wonderful and the building was beautiful and had such a cozy ambience. Jazmin, our server, went above and beyond. Such an incredible woman! When leaving, we were stopped by who I assume to be the manager and she asked if anyone had taken photos of us while inside. She had us come back in and took lovely photos of us! We had such an amazing time at Bocca and felt so welcomed on our prom day. Thank you so much!
