    Overall the best meal my wife and I have had this year…starting with awesome drinks(apple cider sangria and pumpkin martini) then sharing a bowl of the Pumpkin and Smoked Gouda soup and finally finishing with a Linguica and Potato chip pizza and a Berry and roasted Apple salad. Great flavors and plentiful portions…not to mention the young, enthusiastic guy server who was awesome as well…a culinary pleasure! Just disappointed we couldn’t fit in dessert.

    We have always enjoyed our dining experience however last night did not measure up…we waited quite a long time for our appetizer/soup. When it finally came the main course came out at the same time …. Very disappointing.. Dishes everywhere, not much time To enjoy the soup. When we suggested this is too soon, the server/young man that brought out the dinners implied he would have to place them under the heat lamps and it wd dry them out. Food is expensive at Bocca and we wanted to enjoy a relaxing dinner not feel like “cattle”!… it was very busy.. People everywhere!

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry that your experience last night did not live up to the standard you've come to expect from us. We certainly understand your frustration, especially when you're looking forward to a relaxing evening out. Regardless of how busy we may be, the timing and pacing of a meal are an important part of the dining experience, and we clearly missed the mark on this occasion. We apologize for the way the situation was handled. When you brought your concerns to our attention, it should have been handled differently. We appreciate your continued support and hope you'll give us another opportunity to provide the enjoyable dining experience you've come to expect from Bocca.

    My wife and I have been here many times over the years and have never been disappointed. Menu is excellent with many choices. Food is delicious, nice presentation (love the "tableside" chicken parm.) Excellent service with a smile. Always a nice "mermer " as everyone is enjoying themselves.. Just a nice environment!
    BOCCAResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you so much for the kind words and for continuing to visit us! We're thrilled to hear that you and your wife always enjoy your time at Bocca. It's great to know that the menu, tableside Chicken Parmesan, and friendly service continue to hit the mark. We love creating an atmosphere where everyone can relax, enjoy great food, and have a good time. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you both again soon!

    The both gluten-free pasta dishes were cold. We took two bites and took the rest home. Didn’t wanna have it go back and get contaminated.
