We look forward to welcoming you into our home, at Bocca Italian, Tony, Luke and Harry.

Review summary

The service is often described as "fantastic," with friendly, professional staff enhancing the dining experience. The vibrant atmosphere and "exceptional" wine selection make it a "gem of Italian cuisine."

    Have been here many times and the standard of service and food is usually to a high standard. This last occasion was not so. Perhaps a combination of where we were sat (on the counter in the far corner) and the time (Midday on Sunday) so perhaps short staffed so close to opening, but I seemed to spend most of my time trying to attract someone's attention for service even though there were several staff 'busy' adjusting things and moving around but few looking at the guests and making eye contact. Had to get up and find someone after ten minutes to ask for a couple of drinks. Food was great though and the service improved as the sitting progressed. Definitely not the usual standard which is notable for being consistently high. This is great venue on a warm spring day to while away a lazy lunch with friends.

    Love this restaurant! Lots of buzz and great Italian food. Have to have the signature garlic bread and a selection of antipasti to start. Sat at the bar next to the pass and loved watching the food prep and service. Great wine selection available from market wine next door with option to include corkage with purchase and were offered decanting which was fantastic for our 2017 langmeil Shiraz. Good save on our reservation by the maître de with fixing the error in seating with our reservation. Only marked down by cocktails made and sitting on bar for a while before making their way to our table. Will be back again and again…..

    We had the garlic penne bread, ricotta whipped dip, and a pizza — everything was absolutely delicious! The bread was perfectly crisp, the dip was creamy and flavorful, and the pizza had a great crust with fresh toppings. Cozy vibes and friendly service made it even better. We’ll definitely be back!

    Food and service was absolutely amazing. The garlic bread was to die for. Wine was great and even better that we were able to walked next door and bought a bottle to take home. We will definitely be back and will highly recommend to family and friends.
